Romance in a relationship should always be sparkling to keep the flame of love alive between two hearts. While it comes easy to some people, some struggle a lot with expressing the emotions seated deep in their hearts. If you belong to the latter and wish to pronounce your feelings every now and then to your precious girl, then keep on reading as this one is written just for you. You need not go overboard every time you wish to say those three magical words to your girl but a simple gesture brimming with love will do the trick to make her beam with a wide smile on her face.
Here are a few suggestions which will make her feel at the top of the world and you, a hero in her eyes.
Take Her Back To Dating Days
Book a table at the same restaurant where you had your first dinner as a couple and if possible, order the same menu. Recreate the memories and let her know that you remember every little detail about the relationship and still are in as much love with her as you were on your first date!
Personalised Cake For Her
Be the perfect boyfriend and order a romantic birthday cake for girlfriend adorned with a beautiful picture of her and a wish that she always had aspired for! This is the best way to make her feel loved and special on her birthday. She will definitely fall in love with you all over again.
Write A Letter
Letter writing is a lost art but you don’t need to be an artist to express your feelings on a piece of paper. Write your emotions embellished with love for her. Tell her how much you miss her when she is not around. Remind her of some funny moments and some romantic instants that are carved in your memory forever. You can bet she will start loving you more from the moment she will lay her hand son this letter.
Pay A Visit
You may have planned every date with her so far but this time surprise her with a date along with a bouquet of flowers in hand. Treat her like a royal princess and in return, she will treat you like a king for sure. Be a gentleman on the date and win her heart in a jiffy.
Spend Time With Her Friends
This is the best gift that you can offer her on any given day. Take her friends too to lunch and have fun with them like they are your friends too. Meet her halfway and pick her best friend too for the movie together. Once in a while, this gesture will feel loved, secure and cared for in the relationship.
Do The Chores For Her
If you know she is having a hectic day then divide her responsibilities for her. Pick up clothes from dry cleaners or do some house chores for her that could make her relax for a bit, take a deep breath and marvel at her luck for having such a loving boyfriend.
Order Dinner For Her
There are days when she is too tired to prepare a meal for herself. If you can’t cook for her then order dinner for her from her favourite restaurants and watch her smile with love for you while intaking each bite. She deserves your love as much as you deserve hers!
Post Picture On Your Social Media
The best gift that you could give her is the acceptance of your love before the world. Post some pretty pictures on your social media account and own the feelings you have for her. In this modern world, accepting your relationship on Facebook and Instagram is same as putting a ring on it.
October marks Menopause Awareness Month, with World Menopause Day on 18 October.
South Asian women often face earlier menopause, more severe symptoms, and higher health risks.
Cultural stigma and silence leave many women isolated and unsupported.
The Sattva Collective CIC is the UK’s first organisation focused on South Asian women and menopause.
Founded by coach Kiran Singh, it provides safe spaces, resources, and monthly Midlife Circles.
Plans underway for a Midlife & Menopause Summit in October 2026.
Awareness is key: “Silence leads to shame. Awareness leads to empowerment.”
This October, the world observes Menopause Awareness Month, with World Menopause Day on 18th October. For many South Asian women, this is more than a health milestone, it is an opportunity to finally challenge silence, stigma, and cultural barriers that have silenced generations before us.
Menopause is universal. But its impact is not. Research shows that South Asian women often enter menopause earlier, with more severe symptoms and higher risks of diabetes and heart disease. Yet in many South Asian communities, menopause remains an unspoken subject, whispered about in kitchens, dismissed as “just part of ageing,” or hidden entirely.
The result? Women endure not only the physical changes of menopause but also isolation and shame.
The Sattva Collective CIC: A first of its kind
The Sattva Collective CIC (.www.thesattvacollective.org) is the UK’s first Community Interest Company dedicated specifically to South Asian women, midlife, and menopause. Founded by Kiran Singh (https://kiransinghuk.com/), herself a certified Midlife Lifestyle Coach and Menopause Wellness Coach, the organisation exists to create safe, culturally sensitive spaces where women can access education, share experiences, and reclaim dignity in midlife.
Through monthly Midlife Circle meet-ups, an online resource hub, and regular awareness campaigns, The Sattva Collective is making sure South Asian women know: you are not alone.
Looking forward, the organisation will host the Midlife & Menopause Summit in October 2026, timed with the Menopause Awareness Month, to bring together practitioners, experts, and women’s voices in a landmark event.
The stigma within
In South Asian families, women who express dissatisfaction in midlife are often told: “But your husband is a good man. Why complain?” Or: “It’s just ageing, everyone goes through it.”
But these dismissals hide a deeper truth: that emotional unavailability, loneliness, and invisibility are just as real as physical symptoms.
By naming these realities, The Sattva Collective empowers women to stop apologising for their needs and start demanding recognition, respect, and resources.
Awareness as empowerment
This Menopause Awareness Month, South Asian women deserve to be seen not as a cultural afterthought, but as central voices in the global conversation.
As Singh notes: “Silence leads to shame. Awareness leads to empowerment. When we speak, we break the cycle for the next generation.”
Moving forward
Eastern Eye readers are invited to support this movement by:
- Talking to mothers, sisters, and daughters about menopause.
- Sharing resources within families and community groups.
-Supporting organisations like The Sattva Collective CIC that are leading change.
This October, let us break the generational silence around menopausebecause every South Asian woman deserves to navigate midlife with dignity, confidence, and compassion.
