Youths find unique ways to pamper moms

PATNA: Amid lockdown, people in the city, especially youngsters, found ways to pamper their moms by managing household chores, preparing handmade gifts, cooking meals and baking cake on the occasion of Mother’s Day on Sunday.
To express their love and care, some even wrote poems, jingles and played songs on musical instruments.
Rajni, a resident of S K Puri, said she composed a little poem on her mother and sang it with her guitar at 12 midnight.“My mother was really surprised and overwhelmed with this gesture. We decorated her room with balloons and cut the cake we had prepared with caramel. It was a memorable day for all of us,” she said
Some kids went the extra mile by arranging small events at home, taking charge of household chores and cooking meals as well.
Niharika Ratan, a resident of Khagaul, organised a little concert for her mother and aunts to make them feel special on the occasion. “I presented a dance and also organised a beauty contest. We played games like housie, lucky number star and ‘antakshri’. I prepared a collage with strings of light, paper-made flowers and also made cake. We enjoyed a lot,” she said.
Amit Mukherjee and his brother Amrit organised midnight party on the terrace for their mother. “We spent almost 12 days to prepare a clay doll model for mom as a gift. We decorated it with glitter, water colour and ribbons. We also cooked her favourite dishes – momos and litti,” said Amit, a resident of Rajiv Nagar.
Ayush Kaushik (22), a resident of Boring Road, prepared a chocolate cake and Oreo ice-cream for her mother. “Early in the morning, me and my sister wished our mother and took her blessing. We didn’t let the mom do any household chore,” he said.
