In a world that often glorifies grand romantic gestures, cinematic passion, and larger-than-life proclamations, one woman’s simple yet profound tribute to her parents' love has taken social media by storm. Rather than being loud or attention-seeking, her story whispered a message that struck a powerful chord with thousands online.
Adyasha Roy Tomar, a working professional from Delhi, took to LinkedIn to share a personal anecdote from her parents’ past — a memory that revealed not the drama of love, but its quiet strength and intention. Her father, a native Hindi speaker from Madhya Pradesh, learned Bengali purely out of love for her mother — not because she demanded it, but because he wanted to understand her better, and bridge the cultural gap between him and her family. “She never asked him to. He did it partly to impress her, but mostly so he could communicate with her mother, who still struggles with Hindi to this day,” Adyasha wrote.
As she reflected on today’s often-misguided definitions of romance, Adyasha offered a sharp observation on how the idea of love has evolved — or should evolve. “The whole ‘Majnu’ culture of slashing wrists, swearing to die for love, or writing letters in blood is slowly going extinct,” she noted. “Love that survives today is the one rooted in care and quiet transformation.”
Instead of idolizing reckless declarations, she shifted the focus toward becoming someone worthy of love. “Don’t tell me how you’ll die for me,” she urged. “Tell me how you’ll live — better — for me.”
Her post closed with a poignant reminder: “Between the biology of ageing and the psychology of daily exhaustion, we’re already dying a little every day. So choose to live — and live for love instead.”
The impact of her words was immediate. The comment section filled with stories from others who resonated with the sentiment. One user called her story a true depiction of romance, a stage of love that doesn’t beg for recognition but endures quietly in the background. Another praised the concept of “living better for each other” as a refreshing and meaningful modern love language.
Someone even drew a comparison to a line from The Joker, where he asks Harley Quinn not if she would die for him — that’s easy, he says — but if she would live for him instead. Another reader shared a deeply personal story: “I never related to Bollywood’s idea of love. It seemed frightening. My father embroidered a shawl by hand and gifted it to my mother on their wedding day. She still keeps it hidden like a rare gem.”
In a culture obsessed with intensity, this story proved that love doesn't need to shout. Sometimes, it simply learns a language, gifts a handmade shawl, or quietly chooses to stay — and that’s what makes it extraordinary.
