'I’m Celebrating This Extraordinary Machine', Kalki Koechlin On Body-Positivity

It's not something that we will be surprised about that social media and mass media moulds our perception of what our body should look like, leaving us totally vulnerable to unrealistic beauty standards. Which often makes us forget the fact that we should be grateful to our body for sustaining us. Actor Kalki Koechlin posted a few pictures on her Instagram profile recently to celebrate her wonderful body, which we should learn body-positivity from.

"We should love our bodies" sounds so simple but, when it comes to accepting all the scars, changes and insecurities one has about themselves, it's not just everyone's cup of tea. But accepting ourselves as who we are instead of relying on the fake perception of what a perfect body looks like and appreciating our bodies for performing all the vital functions for sustaining us is what we all need to cherish in our life.
