October 4. 10pm. “Button, this bit of news was reported in the Times of India on August 31 and said that a mother has a unique effect on our brain!”

“I can believe that.”

“A Canadian study found that just a glimpse of a mother’s face excites a person’s brain cells while an American study showed that a mother’s hug or phone call calms frayed nerves. It must be true about other species as well!”

“Must-be.”

“The study also proved that fathers produced a lower response.”

“That’s sad.”

“And what do you think is responsible for this kind of response?”

“Don’t have a clue.”

“A hormone called oxytocin is known to play a role in the mother-baby bond.”
