Chronological age increases but the heart still remains the same!
Long back I promised myself, a much younger version of me
That I would respect myself, that I would always to it see
That I did the things that I wanted to do; what was expected.
But would also do the things I loved even if they were unexpected.
‘Life is an opportunity that knocks only once, make the most of it.’
This is the creed that I have lived by, what in my heart does sit.
I preach this to my children for its helped me live a fulfilling life.
I have achieved, have accomplished; even when I faced strife.
All my life I have looked ahead, planned and driven myself,
For my heart is an eternal optimist that knows no dry spell.
I am no more the naive girl that embarked on her journey.
Today I am forty plus, a mature woman, living my life happily.

Who are these people who decide how a married woman should pose? Women do have a life and career outside their marriages!
Last week, a picture kept popping up on my FB feed, of a man and a woman standing close. I didn’t pay much attention, they looked like any other celebrity couple.
It was when I accidentally saw a derogatory term about the woman as the title of a post, that I read.
The woman in the pic was Dhanashree Verma, a Youtuber, choreographer, Jhalak Dikhla Ja participant and wife of cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. The man was another choreographer, Pratik Utekar.
The pursuit of true happiness and owning your true identity - things that probably are most important for humans. Laapataa Ladies has it all.
This well written satire goes as deep inside as it seems on the surface. While uncovering the deep-rooted traditions and superstitions of traditional India on the face of it, this story of lost women is actually also a story of finding oneself. Not only for the “lost ladies” but for a lot of other characters of the movie.
Be it by getting reminded of the childhood self, or of the dreams seen as a child or via learning & unlearning, or even questioning some of the self-beliefs when shown the mirror, or tapping on the hidden goodness, each major character of the film ends up finding self.
Well what can be a bigger accomplishment than this. A very powerful and intelligently written story showing the world that the dark and the bright stays together, it co exists.
