Hello Dear Lovely People,
A Very Happy Women’s Day to all of us!
Since morning, you might have seen numerous quotes, messages, creations, and videos about women who made a mark for themselves, women who are strong and invincible, women who inspire…
So, I will not write anything more about the same. We have read and written a lot about stronger, sharper, beautiful achievers in our lives who have been a pillar of strength, inspired us and motivated us in different ways. It’s time to claim our dues as well π
I strongly believe that we should love ourselves unconditionally. We shouldn’t judge ourselves too harshly and be the worst critics that we can ever have. Let’s not hate or dislike anything about us. There is a world out there to do that job. That job is not ours π
Each one of us was made unique by God for a reason. Let’s celebrate that reason and be our own unapologetic, special selves, who don’t shy away from being the best version of themselves.
Let’s make today – a moment to be our own fan. Like Geet in Jab We Met says – “Main khud ki favourite hoon”
Let’s count our qualities and attributes that are different from others, that have benefitted, and helped others. Or maybe done something nice for someone and we felt great about it.
In the comments, I want you to write about ONE special incident that made you feel that you are a special, unique, extraordinary person. Whether it is about academic achievement, or a creative art, ma’s help, or papa’s pride, when someone has praised you, or you felt good about yourself, even if it is a small thing like helping someone in studies or a big accomplishment… write it here for us to know the moment when you felt really proud of yourself.
I don’t want to read – ‘nothing is special in me’ – because this is not possible. Each one of us is special. It takes an eye to see that quality.
Let that eye be Our Own!!!
Let us love ourselves before anyone else does. Let us celebrate ourselves.
Not just today but every day!!!
Lots of love,
Take care,
M.
Dear Manita,
I want to share my special moment which happened almost a year ago. Basically, me and my father are crazy book lovers. Nothing would make him more happier than me asking for new books to read. This one day my parents had gone for a parent teacher meeting (it was actually for my elder brother) and the English teacher told my parents how good a storywriter I was. She even compared my writing skills with some famous writer. When my mom came home later she just said to call my father as he had straight away gone to work. And he was so happy and proud!!! And the biggest coincident happened that I was literally surrounded by books (as I was cleaning the book shelf).
Also, it’s going to be one year that I am writing poetries. I haven’t shown any of them except the first one to my parents. I loved how keenly my father was reading it but again I don’t feel like showing the rest as its all about what I feel and I don’t want to share it.
Lastly a very happy and belated women’s day to you. Never knew that reading fan fictions will bring me to you.
Thank youπ
This is such a beautiful story from your life that you shared with us. When we discover our talents and special gifts, we know the purpose of our lives. Nothing is as satisfying as that. Thankfully your parents support you and are so happy for you.
Keep writing. I hope you share them some day.
Stay happy. Wish you loads of luck and success.
Happy womenβs day. I truly admire you and even though we donβt know each other I think I know you through your writing. You always show strong characters specially female lead who has moments of weakness but she never gives up and holds her head strong. I am the same I have my moments of weakness but I always try to look at the bright side of the situation. I realized I am strong and capable when my son was diagnosed with autism and I felt I have the power to help him.People started to look at him differently and giving those sympathetic looks and indirectly say he cannot do anything in his life. I as a mother knew that he has lot of potential and I can help him to do that. I resigned my job( a career I had for more than 12 years) and studied autism program and helped him. Happy to say that he has come a long way now and making me proud. He is doing all the things any other kid would do, good in his academics, independent and enjoying his life. I feel proud and happy when I see the results. Sorry for this big post I just wanted to share.
No, you are not allowed to say sorry for this extremely positive, inspring post.
What you have done is a sign of extreme patience, strength, confidence, hope… I’m so proud of you.
A mother gives birth to her child and gives him/her a life to look forward to. Blessed are the mothers who give a second life to their kids by not leaving their side during tough times. Your post is so inspiring. I’m glad that I know you.
Thank you for sharing your story. I hope life brings loads of happiness for you and your child.
Stay Blessed and Happy… Always!!
Happy women’s day to all you fantastic people and you aswell Manita, you are an inspiration to so many and your daughters will be so proud to call you there mum and have you as there guiding light, inspiration, and most of all mum.
I think I’m most proud of what I do as my profession, my family especially my father are absolutely over the moon and looking at them makes me really proud of myself not only because of what I do but because of the woman I have become.

I’m proud of you too Aasma. I’ve seen you grow in last 10 years that I know you and I can confidently say that the dedication and love that you have for your profession is admirable.
May you inspire everyone who comes in contact with you.
Loads of love to you. Best wishes for all future endeavours.
My life in some ways is not that much great as i have many times degraded myself bcz of many things..i still do sometimes at my weak momentsπ
At those times i feel so bad about myself that why this happens with me and all that..but when that moment goes away then i know i m not that badπi have so many flaws but at the same time many good things might be in me..
If i can say i am proud of my art- the career i m pursuing..not for any other thing i may not be proud of myself but this is the only thing which makes me sane, which gives me lot of peace..
And i m quite proud of myself for doing this bcz this is something very different than any of my friends or any family members do..and i really want to achieve so many things through this this one thing..and i want to proud myself more n more when i achieve something..and also i want to make my family so proud bcz they have supported my a lot in this career..
Trust me, Hinu, you are exceptional there. You are gifted when it comes to your art and I’m not exagerrating it.
My 6 year old kiddo knows Manik because I usually watch KYY with her. Though she understands nothing and usually sleeps on my lap after some time but she can recognise Manik and Nandini. So whenever there is Parth or Niti on my screen, she points out – Ma, this is Manik/ Nandini.
Yesterday, when I showed her the glimpse of the picture that you had posted on twitter ( The glimpse had only one eye, forehead and hair) Still, she immediately said – This is Manik!
THIS GOOD you are, Hinu!!!
Just a small glimpse and a kid can recognise what you have drawn. making portraits of faces with pencil sketches is not an easy thing to do. Very few artists have that talent, finesse and appeal.
I know that you will go really far with that talent, hard work and dedication.
Hone your skills and the world is your canvas.
Rise like stars and shine like fireflies.
Wish you all the best dear!!
Diiπyou made me so so emotionalπ€§I cannot believe that your daughter has recognised him just by that chhotu si glimpseπi thought all the people were able to recognise him bcz most of them are hardcore fans of him but this is like so overwhelming for meπ€§π€§
It showed to me that yes i m going on a right path..You know many times i doubted on my skills also bcz many times i failed myself in it and i was so depressed bcz of that..i even got second thoughts about this career but those were to only some weak moments, now itβs all good:)
i knew that if I practice a lot it will be okay and it happened only..i m practicing for many days and result is finally showing..
those weak moments were so bad for me..but after this one my sir was also proud of me bcz without his help i did itπhe said only one thing if u practice a lot uβll achieve more than this..
i also showed it to my mom and she also recognised him even when I didnβt do the final details yet..and now your daughter also recognised him then i know i have done it goodπplus all the good response on my post boosted my confidence a lot..though i am nervous also bcz now people are expecting something fadu from meπbut at the same time i am excited to show it to everyone and i m also planning to send both the sketches to him so i just hope i can make it the way i wantπ
And now i will work so so hard to achieve my dreamβ€οΈ
And Thank you so much dii for the wishesβ€οΈmeans a lotβ€οΈ
I wish I could hug you right now. You deserve to go really high. Hard work and passion never fail you.
All my best wishes are with you.
Stay confident and keep moving ahead.
Same here diiπ€§but for now virtual hug se kam chala lengeπand thank you so muchhβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Happy women’s day diβ€ and ur msg about loving ourselves is love β€ I was waiting for updates regarding your book so I forget abt your “my corner ” post.
I love to connect with all of you… it’s my happy place π
Special and precious moment which will spl is when I passed my 10th std with 90β . I said my result to my mom she smiled and laughed with so much happiness and prideβ€I can’t forget that smiling face of hers π she always feel happy even when I achieve something small and made me feel spl ππ recently i was saying to her that my clients praised me for my work and she was asking more information in detail with excited face ππ no one literally no one would appreciate me like my mom π
The most beautiful feeling in life is to see our parents happy. Even my mother has been my parameter of achievements, success, or moral values. If she is happy, all looks fine. If she is not happy, I know that I have done something wrong.
I’m so glad that your ma is so happy for you and proud of you!
Wish you all the love and success in life!
Thank u so much di β€
For me .. My mom is special . She made me special. I have C.P. My mother gave up her career for me. To treat me . Not only her but my father and my brother too. They altogether made me what I’m today. A doctor! Isn’t it great? Hardships and obstructles are part of life . How to overcome them along with family support s what makes me special , because I never learnt to give up easily π
That is so inspiring. Becoming a doctor needs hard work, perseverence, dedication and commitment. I’m so proud of you that you fought with your issues and achieved your dreams. Kudos!
Your family is great to be beside you in everything you needed.
More power to you dear! Stay happy and blessed.
Also, if you don’t mind, may I please know your name?
Happy Woman’s Day everyone.This woman’s day i feel that we should value and love ourselves and make ourselves a priority and our dreams a priority too amidst everything we do.
Regarding a special incident….I cant specify one…but yes… there are times when people say to me that they are feeling better about them and the situation they are in…after talking and discussing with me.When people find me worthy of sharing their problems and secrets and they trust me that I will help them in some way or the other.That trust they have in me ….makes me feel really special.Because I feel that in this day and age….if you manage to be of any help to anyone in their vulnerable times…thats the biggest service you can do.And the satisfaction of this deed is priceless.
I completely agree with you Simar. All that you said is 100% true. In this fast life, if you become someone’s calming factor, source of strength, peace and help them when they are low, there is nothing more beautiful than that!
I’m so glad you do that and aware of it too. More power to you π
Stay happy. Rise & Shine. Always!!!
Happy Women’s Day Di
As for me academically I haven’t done anything great for now and I’m zero in art π the only good thing I can see in me is that I can’t see my mother who’s a business woman over working herself and being the eldest sibling I’m like a mother to my siblings or so I think π thus responsible for house chores along with my studies, giving rest to my father and mother and freedom to roam around the city to my siblings. Sometimes I think what they would have done without me ππ self praising but it’s true.
This is such an amazing thing that you are doing. Some self praising is allowed in life. That gives us confidence to be ourselves and take pride in everything we do.
What you are doing is no small feat. It’s awesome to be a helping support to your parents and siblings. Soon there will be more feathers attached to your hat. Their wishes and love is with you.
Keep it up.
Lots of love
You are the best and there is no one like you…i told this to you already but again and again everytime you make me believe that i am not good for nothing but i am also something.. so…here it is… just few minutes back my mom and i had a pretty bad discusdion where i just shouted at her saying that i am unfit for everything…u hate myself but i don’t really… it’s just i can’t find enough reason to love myself… it’s frustrating to know that my life has suddenly became meaning less…but your few words and i am all set to face this world again…i wonder how you do so… it’s this quality of yours which makes my day and is the reason i love you like anything….
I started to think if there is anyone who is benefitted from me and i got the answer that you are indeed right.. a friend of mine told me few times that i am a vert patient listener and rhis quality of mine helped him a lot in coping with his depression and lonely feeling. Even after knowing that we are miles apart yet he trusts me to be his support though virtually and that made me feel reallt different coz he have a lot of friends yet i became his only peace and escape
I always tell everyone that there are so many special qualities in us. It’s just that we become harsh critics of ourselves and fail to recognise our worth.
See, you looked inside and got that! It’s really a big thing to be a patient listener. Not everyone can do that. To become someone’s source of support and peace is again is very special quality. You must be a beautiful person at heart. Please keep exploring these positive sides, you never know what you discover about you.
Also, I love you too. Your posts and comments are special and very endearing.
Stay blessed. Lots of love.
PS – Don’t argue with your mom. She is the only person in the world who loves you unconditionally π
Happy Women’s Day to you too…
Wish you the same dear!
