What is beauty? Where does beauty live? Where should we travel to find it? Am I asking so many questions? Huh…absolutely nothing. Well I’m sorry I do think so.
Beauty doesn’t just mean- look. The lady whose beauty I admire the most is my “Grandmother”. Scars on her face. Lines on her forehead. Dull vision for her eyes but still pretty much expressive. White hair and still she is the most beautiful lady I have ever met in my life. She belongs from village. Now she is 70 years old but I know her for last 24 years and she is still the same. She used to sell fruits(Mango, Jack fruit, Jam, Coconut) all her life. Even as a child when I was in school I always used to spend my vacations at her place in Alibaug. In character, in style.. In all things, the supreme elegance is her simplicity. That simplicity comes from her- confidence-which she got it from her independence. Even though she was belonging from village she used to travel alone to sell fruits in nearby town. She has fought for that independent and she won. What we are always thinking about independent girl? Probably the one who is financially independent or at least getting salary at the end of the month, the one who gets freedom to travel alone or the one who chooses her own decisions. But what about the girl who works so hard to run the house or the one who is sharing her decisions with her close ones?
What ‘s it takes to be the most beautiful girl in the world? Makeup brushes ? Makeup kits?
Yes. All these equipment will help you to enhance your beauty no doubt in that. I’m not going to stop you from buying anyone of these. We all have rights to look presentable and we can; but all of them only enhance our outer beauty and true beauty lies within.
Even though my Grandmother is belonging from village she is my inspiration in life. The amount of strength she possess at this age is amazing and what she does every day from morning to night is unbelievable. She never ever tried to be perfect and it was so much liberating not trying to be perfect. Just accept yourself as you are is the biggest lesson I learnt it from her. Even when my Grandfather died she was the one who was running the house and she is still working hard. She is amazing mother, beautiful grandmother, helping sister as well as sister-in-law. Life is harder for someone and less harder for some but true beauty remains constant in heart. I learnt from her to work hard-really-really hard. Never expect anybody to work hard for you which you suppose to do; and sometimes do take pause. It’s a reminder to slow down, look around, taste, listen, and to open ourselves to new people and places. Live boldly. Push yourself. Just live well and love. All of this improves not only our quality of life but also the quantity of years we have. Value system is the factor on which she never makes any compromise with. Find your own stars in your bad days. She taught me not to compare myself with others because I’m unique soul. True beauty needs inner mirror to reflect all of your parts, both visible and unseen. It’s so true saying that, “beauty lies in the eyes of beholder”. I have become settled and comfortable in my own skin. She was always been imperfect but there is different kind of liberty in imperfection. She has serve me all my life and not only nourishes my cells but also nourishes my soul.
