<P >This Sunday is Father’s day.<p></p></P>
<P >Unlike Mother’s Day, there isn’t much of an air of excitement around this day. There is not much publicity. There are hardly any write-ups on fathers. Tributes to fathers are also scarce. Few people talk about it. And the day tends to come and go almost unnoticed.<p></p></P>
<P >Are fathers so unpopular that their children do not find it to be a day worth celebrating? Perhaps, it is so.<p></p></P>
<P >In a survey conducted in 102 non-English speaking countries, the word ‘father’ did not feature in the top 100 most beautiful words in the language. The word ‘mother’ emerged as No 1.<p></p></P>
<P >Fathers certainly do not deserve to be sidelined. After all, they love their children s deeply as mothers do. Fathers are usually the pillars of strength in the family.</FONT></P> |
