No matter what life doles out, and how you are today, a smile is what you need to wear, along with anything else you may.
After you’re done with your make-up, Wear your smile today. A smile that doesn’t fail to reach your eyes, And make them shine brighter Than your exquisite diamond studs.
After you’re done with draping your silk saree, Wear your smile today. A smile that makes you look resplendent, A smile that is more flamboyant Than your Kanjeevaram saree.
Smile and thank Almighty For all the blessings That He has strewn along your path, And be blissful for receiving This marvellous gift called ‘Life’.
And when life doesn’t give you any reason to smile- Laugh hard. A laughter that makes your stomach ache And your eyes teary.
Life may not be a bed of roses, For every rose comes with its own share of thorns, But whatever you come across- roses or thorns, Do not forget to wear your smile today.

Yuvaraj Shele, a small-time worker from Kolhapur, Maharashtra, did battle many odds and arranged for his mother Ratna’s wedding a few weeks ago. The main point that he put forth was that he felt his mother was lonely and saw the need for her to live happily.
A myth that goes without saying is that only a woman can understand another woman better. What happens when a man does understand what a woman goes through? Especially when the woman is his mother, that too when she is a widow?
This scene does remind of a few movies/web series where the daughter/son do realize their mother’s emotions and towards the end, they approve of their new relationship.
Just because they are married a husband isn’t entitled to be violent to his wife. Just because a man is "in love" with a woman, it doesn't give him a right to be violent.
Trigger Warning: This speaks of graphic details of violence against women and may be triggering for survivors.
Anger is a basic human emotion, just like happiness or being sad. One chooses his/her way of expressing that emotion. It is safe until that action stays within oneself.
What happens when that feeling is forced upon another? The former becomes the perpetrator, and the latter turns out to be the victim.
