Tahira added her signature wit to the caption. She mentioned, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But when life becomes too generous and throws them at you again, you squeeze them calmly into your favourite kala khatta drink and sip it with all the good intentions."
She continued, "Because for one, it’s a better drink, and two, you know you’ll give it your best once again. #RegularScreening #Mammogram #NotShyingAway #BreastCancer #OneMoreTime #LetsGo. Ironically or not, today is #WorldHealthDay. Let’s do whatever we can in our capacity to take care of ourselves. #Gratitude through and through."
