My Dear daughter in law,

“Sane Mother-in-law” ! said your message which was a complement from your friend for me. I am delighted to have aced this recently acquired role. It also set me thinking about all the roles, I am playing on this stage called LIFE.

Talking of stage do you know I love to act and have done quite a few plays in school and colleges? But the best dramas have been my real-life “Dramas” played on the home ground, with your Father in Law as the only co-actor in most of them. Yes, dear, I have been an insanely dramatic life partner.

Oh! But this came later on, as the earliest role played by me was that of a DAUGHTER and SISTER. In this phase, I was recognised to be caring, obedient and responsible. And here itself I got to play a STUDENT too.

This part I performed with great intelligence and sincerity. This hardworking and focused stint landed me the role of a DOCTOR - a very much praised, acclaimed and reputed character as you know, But now I will let you in a Secret - 

“ I did not want to be a Doctor”.

But I accepted this much envied role because my dear, I perform in this LIFE movie with the belief that the best has been offered to me.

And this role of a doctor gave me the best reward of life

My Life Partner. Who is a doctor? WIFE - This again was a character I resisted to accept because of the hat of responsibility of being the eldest daughter, I donned and flaunted.

Though after the wedding The WIFE character got into me and I am playing it with love, care understanding, empathy and devotion enjoying all the while

Of course, the movie’ MARRIAGE ’ also landed me into other important side roles as DAUGHTER IN LAW, SISTER IN LAW and AUNT. And dear I am proud to say that my performance in all these roles was very much appreciated.

Then came one of the most significant roles of any woman’s life

MOTHER, of course I was delighted to have been blessed with this part.

I took quite easily all the dilemmas, duties and bindings of motherhood without being overwhelmed. I am a good friend to my sons but none of them is a Mama’s Boy as they have received the training to be sensitive and sensible Life Partners to my sweet DILs. And the comment by your friend of me being a sane MIL is proof of it . Isn’t it?

Dear I just realized that Being a WOMAN is the fundamental eligibility that got me all the above roles

And yes dear I hold and flaunt my womanhood with pride.

Be it, by dressing to the occasion, shopping to get dressed, running and keep a well-maintained home, celebrating festivals and family events, to listening, consulting and making the womenfolk aware of their health issues, or understanding my staff’s ( mostly women) pains, desires and problems.

I truly revel in being a Woman who is intelligent, smart, confident, outgoing romantic and a learner at age 60.

As you know my mission is to help women enjoy and rejoice in their womanhood for which I now take up the role of LIFE COACH. Let’s empower women to be strong.

“A strong woman is one who feels deeply and loves fiercely. Her tears flow as abundantly as her laughter.

She is both soft and powerful, practical and spiritual.

A strong woman in essence is a gift to the world”.
