Give a gift to appreciate mother’s role in your life

May 13th, 2009

Every year on Mother’s Day, which is celebrated in mid-May, grateful sons and daughters rightfully appreciate the ‘most loving person’s contribution’ to their life and the society. Just like the international women’s day, when several events are held across the world to celebrate women’s achievements, this is another moment that inspires us all.

In keeping with the spirit of the occasion, you too can to give something special to your mother who is the most special woman in your life. Say a big thank you to your mother for the role she has had in your life. The idea is to appreciate the contribution made by her in your life and in your success.

One way of doing this is giving an appropriate gift – a perfect thank you gesture. Books can be one of the most thoughtful and meaningful gifts. Buy your mother a new book of fiction that she has been always mentioning about and is looking to read.

By branding any gift like a cell phone, bracelet or even an attractive key chain with your heartfelt feelings or simply with your initials, on this memorable day, you can pass the message in a subtle, albeit effective way.

A personal scrapbook, going beyond mere cut and paste some pictures, and doing something innovative with it, is definitely another wonderful way of preserving and rekindling nice memories of the ‘most wondrous woman’.

If your mother happens to be a ‘do-it-your-self’ type woman, no doubt she will be elated on receiving some utilitarian items like a tool kit. Some decorative accessories to add to the home décor is also a good option. If you pay attention to the needs of the mother apart from her likes / dislikes when gifting her, your gifting gesture will be remembered for long.

Go ahead, gift your mother something special, and make the day a memorable one!

A Brief History Of International Women’s Day: The Day To Acknowledge Their Contribution And Achievements

March 7th, 2008

international womens day women all around world international womens day

International Women’s Day has been celebrated since in the early 1900’s - a period of great expansion in the industrialized and business world. At that time, great unrest as well as critical debate was occurring amongst females.

Their fight against inequality and oppression was gathering momentum. It spurred many women to become active and vocal in this concerted campaign for change. In 1908, about 15,000 women marched through New York for their demand of better pay, shorter hours and voting rights.

In accordance with the Socialist Party of America declaration, the first National Woman’s Day (NWD) was celebrated across the US on 28 February. The US continued to celebrate the occasion on the last Sunday of February till 1913.

At a Socialist International meeting held in Copenhagen, an International Women’s Day was proposed to acknowledge their rights movement and to help them in achieving universal suffrage.

In 1917, on the last Sunday of February, women in Russia started a strike for ‘bread & peace’. Despite opposition from political leaders, they continued with their strike till the Czar was forced to abdicate; the provisional Government granted the right to vote to women.

The date the strike commenced was Sunday (23 February) on the Julian calendar then being used in Russia; this day on the Gregorian calendar was 8 March, now marked as the International Women’s Day.
