Stuck in a traffic jam, we were casually looking at people crossing the road. Some of them were crossing the road using the tiny spaces left between the two cars. Then, I saw a girl dressed in a yellow colored, silk churidar suit, wearing broad, shining chura on her arms, her hands adorned with just applied mehendi, carefully crossing the road with a wide smile on her face. She was accompanied by a young man who seemed to be her husband, a teenage boy, probably her brother and a lady in fifties who could be her mother. It appeared that the whole family went out to fulfill the wish of their daughter for applying mehendi on her hands. This thought brought a smile on my face – a satisfaction that my dear India is changing. I wish all daughters and daughters-in-law get their share of love and care from their families, as received by the girl in yellow suit.
