October 28th was Mother-in-Law’s day. I feel this is one of the most misunderstood relationships ever.
When I was married, Bollywood movies made me very, very anxious about my upcoming relationship with my in-laws. Thankfully, she didn’t live upto the movie standards. In fact, when I look back, I laugh at my naïveté and silliness in believing Bollywood.
Here is a poem I wrote for my second mom and titled it likewise.
We are not related, except by law. I know we are related, by something bigger than this.
You understand my desires and apprehensions and in your way, take care of me. Accepting me as I am, with my limitations.
You gently guided me and make me aware of the likes and dislikes of all.
You keep me protected and safe from the jealous eyes and eager ears
I can clearly see that you have gone through and not forgotten your past You remember your days as a new bride in this family. I know it is yours now it will be mine, someday too.

Let’s spread some positivity. Let’s banish the cliches. Please share your stories and poems about your mother-in-law.

Dear brides-to-be,
As you embark on the journey of marriage, I urge you to reflect on a profound message. Many of my friends have fallen into a trap and are still grappling, uncertain about their life choices.
Initially, there will be confusion about career decisions. Should you pursue a master’s degree, a job in banking, or a government position?
Maleesha who calls herself ‘Princess of Slum’ through her social media captions has now landed herself a space on the cover of Forest Essentials' new campaign.
“Dream, and one day that dream will come true” as said by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, many of us have goals to accomplish and we do dream about achieving them.
A huge dream has come true for a 14-year-old girl from a Mumbai slum area, Maleesha Kharwa. She has been a simple girl with a normal family until some time ago. Today she is the face of the popular skincare brand Forest Essentials.
Kharwa was first discovered by Hollywood actor Robert Hoffman in 2020 who later created a Go Fund Me page for Maleesha.
