Honour the incredible women who have shaped your life – share their stories this Mother’s Day! Let’s pass on the #legacyofstrength!
A Housewife. She is not another woman without a salary. There is much more to her than you can ever see.
She doesn’t just marry the man, She marries, The kitchen knife, The talcum powder, The choked sink, The mess of toys, The humid kitchen, The whistle of the pressure cooker, The snuggles, The ruffles under the bedsheet, The unexpected visits to the doctor, The loud banter of her children, The continuous sound of the TV, The faraway look of her husband, The clothes getting wet in a sudden spell of rain, The foamy bathroom, The quiet cup of tea, The calculator for monthly groceries, The recipe notebook, The crayons spread all across the floor, The sleepless nights, The kittie parties, The surprise birthday parties, The cold stares, The long phone conversations, The spilled milk, The filled dustbin,
Like a fish in the aquarium, She marries the house, By love, by choice or by fate.
She is not another woman without a salary, There is much more to her than you can ever see.
Love her more than you judge her. This is the least you could do for her,
And for yourself.

The issue arose with the last name of the child. Mihal insisted her husband’s second name should be added as he had passed away when Sonu was in college.
Sonu and Roopa were all excited to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary. It was even more special as they had just welcomed their bundle of joy in their lives. It is been just a week. Sonu’s mother Mihal wanted to have the naming ceremony as well on the same day.
While the preparations went on with inviting guests, booking the best event management team, and the buffet menu for the night, Mihal concentrated on the little one’s name. According to their family astrologer, they agreed on the name Sonia. Sonu was from Kolkata while Roopa was from South India. They followed all the religious rituals from both sides of the family and hence because of that their marriage took place without much hassle.
