However, paper being my best friend, and a non-sermonising one at that, you will have to bear the rant. Now, why would a Mrs. Bhardwaj take to writing birthday wishes to Mr. Bhardwaj on his Facebook wall, when they live under the same roof, within the same four walls? There have been times when I have felt pressured, even guilt-tripped into putting up a picture on Mothers’ Day, complete with happy hearts and endearing emojis. A perfect quote with equal measure of sentiment and humour is searched for on Google, and mother’s picture duly copied and pasted. Maybe it’s time Mrs. Bhardwaj logs off from her Facebook account, demolishes the ‘wall’ that separates them, and makes it a truly special birthday for Mr. Bhardwaj!
