It’s that time of the year again when women gear up to get dressed in their best traditional attire; compliment their sarees with matching jewellery; get their hands and feet decorated with mehendi and make the most of all the pampering in their sasural (marital home).

This year, the auspicious day of Karva Chauth will be celebrated on October 8 this year.

On this day, women observe fast to pray for their husband's long life and well-being. Women make a house a home and your life meaningful. Hence you need to thank her for making your life blissful.

Dear men, here's a chance for you to express your love for her in the most special way.

Though genuine expression of love is beyond material gifts, tell her how much she means by doing little things for her:

Observe fast for her long life

If we can remain without food until evening for your sake, then you too can do the same for her.

Dress up well and smell good

Dress up well. Pick your best ethnic wear or colour-coordinate your attire with her’s. Wear a good perfume.

Gift a bunch of flowers

You don’t need to buy a solitaire for her to make her happy. A bunch of flowers will do the needful.

Kiss her on the forehead and hug her with all the warmth

A passionate kiss on the forehead will speak volumes about your love for her. A tight teddy hug too will make her feel secure in your arms.

Make a handmade gift or card

Make a handmade gift for her or a greeting card. Make the most of your creative skills.

Pen a letter and read it out to her

In routine life, you may not find the time to express your feelings for her. Pen down your thoughts and read them out to her.
