My Actifit Report Card: October 6 2025

"Don't let strangers smell the fragrance of your house!"

There was a man in our village called "Gama". Whenever he felt like eating something special, especially morning tea and parathas, he would visit a few specific houses.

He would stand outside a house early in the morning and call out to the woman sweeping from a distance:

"Good luck! You have worked hard all your life. A woman like you has not been appreciated, you have decorated this house, this is your greatness!"

Then he would turn to his husband and say: "You are lucky to have such a wife!"

Hearing this, the wife would open the complaint office of her husband, and Gama would show sympathy by placing his hand on his forehead.

The woman would then wash her hands and ask: "Would you like some tea?"

Gama would smile and say: "Just tea? No, I still remember the parathas you made, but you look tired, so don't bother me."

And then, wrapped in the sweetness of compliments, the woman would bring delicious parathas and tea. Gama would eat with relish, brush off the chadar and head off to the next victim.

Later, those same two parathas would sow the seeds of such conflict and mistrust that resentment, suspicion and bitterness would arise in these homes for many months, many years.

Unfortunately, even today, there are such "gamas" in our society, even in educated families. Those who appear to be sympathetic, but inside, they poison prosperous homes.

Marriage is not just a ceremony but an attempt to take a family, a generation, a system forward. There are so many ups and downs of life in it that only true passion, understanding, and being with each other can solve them.

But some people, just for their own temporary gain, for the sake of their tongue or to show others inferior, interfere in someone's personal affairs and unknowingly create a crack that shakes the wall built with years of hard work.

They come in the form of "sincere relatives" or "dear friends", laugh, give advice, and when they leave, they leave behind only distrust, worry and brokenness.

The tragedy is that we often consider the truth to be "rudeness", and dress hypocrisy in the cloak of nobility. We give examples from the West, but we do not adopt the same discipline as them, nor do we follow the original teachings of our religion.

Remember, the strength of a family is not only based on money or education, but also on who sits around you, to whom you tell your heart, and to whom you let the aroma of your kitchen smell.

If we do not decide in time who to let into our house, then we should not even complain why the pot got damaged.

Therefore, be careful while you are still alive. Because some people can ruin your peace, honor, and home for just two parathas.
