Men - Sacrifice Personified!!!!

Dear men of my life,

I am thrilled to wish you all a happy men's day! They say, God created men physically strong and to balance that he created women mentally strong. With the physical strength and dexterity you always lift your families. 

A woman's life is peppered with men. You are not just men. You are fathers, brothers, friends, someone's love, husbands, and sons. Without you of course the world will lose its charm. When you came to this world, you were much sought after as a son who would take good care of the parents and siblings. The one who has to prioritize others' wellbeing over your own. Your own happiness hardly matters to you. You have grown witnessing your parents and replicate their values through your good deeds. 

You complete your studies in a great rush, going to faraway places seeking job, staying away all alone without any moral support. You lead a sapless life doing all the tedious works available, hoping that the life will make some sense one day. 

You are the reason behind the smile of every woman in the family— right from your mother to whom you are a devoted son, your sister to whom you are a supporting brother, your friend to whom you are a pillar of support, your love to whom you are an insatiable source of adoration, your wife to whom you are a lifelong companion, your daughter to whom you are a superhero, your neighbors to whom you are an unpaid servant who runs errands😬

You are the one who suffers from existential crisis and battles with numerous mood swings and homesick at times and hide them all with a casual "hello.. will text you later!" Staying awake late at nights to complete the incomplete works and all those OTs hardly hassle you. You just pooh-pooh it with your casual chatterings with friends, your favourite foods and late night outs. 

On this day, I am glad to give a friendly fistbump to all the men like you who run helter-skelter working hard to bring about a perfect spotless smile on women's faces. Your sacrifices do make difference! Your muted tears are always cherished. Happy Men's day, buddies!!! 

Be the men always!!!
