Zindagi is not so Dear after all!
The lines ring hard in my ears “Jab gusse ko express nahi karne diya, dard ko express nahi karne diya toh ab pyaar ko kaise express karenge”. I can’t thank Gauri Shinde enough for bringing this phase of mental trauma, that each one of us…

Those little things…that make a BIG difference
