International Men's Day also coincides with "Movember" – a worldwide mustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men's health, one of the key themes promoted on  IMD.

A  Healthy society is built with the contributions of both genders and we just simply can't ignore each other's efforts, men being in the headline of cases like sexual assaults, rapes, domestic violence murders, etc have always suppressed the voice of the men who are actually good or who are working for the betterment of the society.

not all men are the same, men also face a lot of pressure which we as a society never appreciated, for example, they are always expected to be the providers or refrain themselves from asking for help or expressing their feelings, 

we have always heard people saying that "larke rote nahi"(men don't cry) man crying is always considered a shame on their masculinity, we society never have accepted a so-called weak man,

we always have high expectations with the male members of our family, we never see men with their hopes and having personal aspirations but someone who can take care of his family and so he does he take all the responsibilities killing his own desires.

for example, fathers they do everything for their wives and children sacrificing his own wish, he works day and night for the money which he doesn't spend on himself but provide a good life for his wife and children.

Brother's, as far as he is born, the whole family writes his destiny, that one day he will take care of his family, whether its financially or emotionally, he will provide all the happiness to the family, he will be the support of his mother and father at their old age. surprisingly we never ask all these from a girl, a sister.

It is harsh but true that, society has given a choice to the girls that they can be the earning member of the family or not it's their choice, but for men, it's mandatory

our male friends, I mostly have male friends and I never felt uncomfortable with them, in fact, they are the people who are more understanding and always made me feel secure whenever they are around, and they are always the one who is ready to listen to my problems, no matter how much they are struggling in their own lives but they are always a one phone call away whenever I need them. I guess `they also taught me the meaning of what real friendship is. and I will always be grateful to them.

so this International men's day lets not forget that men are humans too and they too have emotions so today check-in with your male friends or male members of your family, talk to them ask them how they are, try to bring a smile to their faces, tell them that their feelings, matters.
