When love becomes divine
At a huge lifestyle store in a mall, I saw this old couple buying two face napkins which were on a fifty per cent discount. They must have been in their late seventies frail and short. If he was five feet three inches she would be around four feet ten. Though they looked very middle class from their clothes, he was wearing a shirt which was frayed at the collar and she surprisingly was wearing pants with a greyish top and her feet ensconced in sandals because women from that generation normally wear either sarees or salwar kameez.
They stood in the queue to pay their bill of the two face napkins. The woman stood behind her husband respectfully as any Indian woman would. This store had a policy that they issued a card to their customers where they would issue points with every purchase you made and you could redeem these points when they were of a sizeable quantity and buy whatever you wanted with it.
The couple reached the billing counter and while they were paying the bill the man at the counter said something to them. The man smiled and pulled his wife out of the queue and said do you know we have enough points accumulated, let us go and get the pant you liked. The women held his hand gave a shy smile and both of them seemed very happy almost ran to the women’s counter holding hands tightly.
Santa had arrived early for them and for me it was a glimpse of true love.

Does Ranbir Kapoor expressing his preferences about Alia using lipstick really make him a toxic husband?
Sometime back, a video of Alia Bhatt with Vogue went viral where she shares her go-to make-up routine and her unique way to apply lipstick. It went viral not for the quirkiness but because she said that after applying the lipstick, she “rubs it off” because her then boyfriend and now husband – Ranbir Kapoor likes her natural lip colour and asks her to “wipe it off”, whenever they are out on a date night.
Netizens had gone crazy over this video, calling RK toxic and not respecting AB’s choice to wear makeup. I saw the video a couple of times to understand the reason behind the uproar but I failed to understand it. I read many comments and saw people saying that asking your partner or dictating terms on how they should wear makeup is a major sign to leave the person.
Really?!
Modesty or humility is viewed as the hallmark of a well-brought-up girl, which makes it hard for us to be open to any real compliments without feeling like an imposter.
Why is accepting that compliment so hard?
Colleagues: Have you lost weight? You look good! She (who has spent months doing Keto and weights): It’s the dress that’s making me look thinner!
Guests: Your house is so beautiful and neat! She (who spent the last five hours mopping and polishing): It could be tidier; there is just so much dust.
