Treat your Wife with love and kindness By Dr. Abdul Kalam

When I was a kid, my Mom cooked food for us. One night in particular when she had made dinner after a long hard day's work, Mom placed a plate of 'subzi' and extremely burnt roti in front of my Dad.

I was waiting to see if anyone noticed the burnt roti. But Dad just ate his roti and asked me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember I heard Mom apologizing to Dad for the burnt roti. And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burnt roti”.

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy, good night and I asked him if he really liked his roti burnt. He wrapped me in his arms said: "Your momma put in a long hard day at work today and she was really tired. A burnt roti never hurts anyone but HARSH WORDS DO! "You know son - life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people..."

I'M NOT THE BEST & AM HARDLY GOOD AT ANYTHING! I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. What I've learnt over the years is: To Accept Each Others Faults. Choose To Celebrate Relationships.

Life Is Too Short To Wake Up With Regrets. Love the people who treat you right and have compassion for the ones who don't.


Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam was 11th President of India from 2002 to 2007
