Beauty…through her eyes…!!!

Real beauty…as I sat down to write this post…my four year old sat next to me and asked…. “Mama, what are you writing????” I said that I was writing a story on Real Beauty.
Pat came the reply “Mama….you are beauty… ……
the way you hug me when you come from office…the way you kiss me….the way you make mushroom….sandwich….
The way you give me chocolates….the way you dress me up…
The way you cuddle me and sleep….
The way to get me new toys…the way you tell stories…
The way you give me medicines…..the way you take care of me….
Mama… you are beautiful!!!!!!!”
What a reply…it made me see beauty through the eyes of a kid. For children there is no good or bad…no black or white…no Hindu..Muslim…or Christian… for them, everything around is beauty. Each and every day is beautiful for them…they live by the minute…and enjoy everything to the fullest.
These days beauty relates to skin…how fair or dark the complexion is…and there are thousands of products which claim to make you beautiful….but do they really make you BEAUTIFUL????
 Real Beauty  is skin deep….it lies in the heart….which gives and forgives…..it lies in our values which we cherish…it lies in the love we spread……it lies in the willpower one has….it lies in the faith that we have on ourselves…it lies in the actions that we do, to make some smile…to make someone’s day…!!!!!

For me beauty is my daughter….I’ve learnt a lot from her…..

MY ANGEL!!!!!

The way she smiles…the way she says “I love you, Mama”
The way she eats the food I prepared…and says..”Yummy…Mummy!!!!”  
The way she plays with my hair…
The way she plays with my dupatta, the way she dances…
The way she gives me a quick massage after a tiring day….!!!!!!!
The entire creation of God is beautiful……see the rivers that flow….the sunflowers that bloom…the mangoes that are sweet….the raindrops which quench the thirst….the cute birds building their nests…..
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder!!!!!!!!!!!

This post is my entry to Indiblogger  and Yahoo Dove Real Beauty contest….!!!!

So what are your views on Real Beauty!!!!

PS: The conversation between me and Samruddhi was in Marathi, I translated it for the readers:)

  1. Hey Gayatri, In marathi St. Tukaram said, "oos donga par ras nahi donga,ka bhullasi warliya ranga" (though sugarcane looks bent,unclean,with many nodes from outside, the juice inside is sweet, so do not judge on skin color) if u want real beauty,taste,and love.

  2. Yes, beauty is an experience…! It needs to be understood from the standpoint of the beholder. To every mother her child is the most beautiful just as for a child a mother is the next thing to beauty…! Good post!
