Ex. President Of India Dr. Abdul Kalam says: "When I was a kid, my mom cooked food for us. One night 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 was my day 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 & 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.
And besides... A burnt roti never hurts anyone but harsh words do!"
"You know son - life is full of imperfect things... & imperfect people..."
"I'm not the best and I have learnt to accept that life is not perfect and nor are people near & dear to you."
What I've learnt over the years is: To Accept Each Others Faults & Choose To Celebrate Relationships".
