Rohan was the man of Meera’s dreams. He was admired by everyone around him—charming, confident, and seemingly perfect in every way. At work, he was known for his dedication; at home, he handled everything with ease, from fixing things around the house to organizing family gatherings. Friends and neighbors were in awe of him, calling him the “perfect husband,” the guy who could do it all. Rohan basked in the admiration, never shying away from talking about his accomplishments, which only added to his allure.
Meera felt incredibly proud. She couldn’t help but glow whenever someone praised her for finding such a remarkable partner. It felt like a dream, like she was on top of the world with Rohan by her side.
But as time went on, Meera began to notice how people only seemed to notice Rohan’s efforts, not hers. She, too, was dedicated to making their life together wonderful, handling countless small details that often went unseen. She’d plan family gatherings, remember everyone’s birthdays, and support Rohan quietly from behind the scenes. Yet, every time she contributed, the praise still flowed in Rohan’s direction.
While Rohan’s achievements filled the room with light, Meera’s quietly flickered in the shadows. She began to feel invisible, wondering why no one saw her efforts. Her confidence slowly started to wane as she realized that her hard work was being overshadowed by Rohan’s constant shine. She wished, just once, that someone would acknowledge her role, her quiet strength.
This story reminds us how important it is to look beyond the obvious and appreciate every person’s unique contributions, even when one person naturally shines brightly. Sometimes, the quiet lights are the ones that keep everything glowing steadily.
This Diwali, let’s look beyond ourselves and show gratitude to those who’ve helped make our dreams a reality!
I want to take this moment to thank my mummy and papa for their tireless efforts in raising three strong, independent daughters.
