Random memes have a way of sneaking up on us. They make us laugh at the most unexpected things and give us a break from whatever we’re dealing with. But it’s not just humor that lifts spirits. Sometimes, it’s the simplest gestures that mean the most. Random acts of kindness can turn someone’s day around. And just like memes, they spread smiles in all directions.
Today, we spoke with Surbhi Dhanuka, a talented home baker from Mumbai. With over eight years of experience and hundreds of happy clients, she’s built more than just a business. She’s built something that makes people feel seen and celebrated. Her journey started with one oven and a love for food. And what she’s doing now goes way beyond cupcakes. It’s a pure heart.
“Usually, sweet treats instantly bring a smile to people’s faces,” Surbhi told us. “Especially cakes, bento boxes, cupcakes, cookies… they light up a room.” For her, baking isn’t just about flavor. It’s about the joy it brings to others. And she believes that something as simple as a cake can create memories. It’s a reminder that celebration can come in small, beautiful ways.
“I started baking because I’m a foodie too,” she laughed. “It was my creative outlet, and honestly, I just wanted to make something fun.” What began as an experiment in her home kitchen quickly turned into something much bigger. Orders started coming in. And soon, her little hobby became a full-fledged business. A delicious one, at that.
This is all false. My grandmother was widowed in the early 1940s. What happened in 1974 was the passage of the Fair Banking Act, which meant that banks couldn't enact policies that had the effect of making it more difficult for women to secure mortgages, but that doesn't mean there was ever a prohibition. The other germ of truth to this was married women would need their husband's signatures to open a line of credit or a savings account, because women were also not expected to be sole breadwinner in a marriage AND money manager of the household, so banks expected it was his money she was using. But single women over the age of 25 absolutely had their own bank accounts. And the "over the age of 25" rule applied to men and women; below that age, you had to have someone else witness for you.

Load More Replies...At the current rate of reversal, it won't be long before these rights will be removed, as Trumpler seems to be very keen to turn the USA into 1938 Germany!
That is why civil rights/human rights/workers' rights are, or should be, a constant struggle. "The Handmaid's Tale" is a warning about becoming too complacent.
Load More Replies...Sadly it seems controlling women is making a comeback here in the USA because some men seem to think that is what made America great. Unfortunately some women either never saw or don't remember the struggle their mother's and grandmother's endured under this oppressive system and have decided being treated like a possession is a what they want as well.
Or they don't want to admit how their life sucked. Those men don't think it's what made America great - they think it made America great for THEM.
Load More Replies...in the Stephen King book/movie with Kathy Bates, Delores Claiborne, she goes to the bank to withdraw her daughter’s educational account that she opened and was the only signator to find her husband cleaned it out. Bank guy argues that her husband had every right. So infuriated me that I looked it up. Arggh
Her husband was m0les+ing their daughter. Dolores wanted the money to take her kids and leave. She got her revenge though.
Load More Replies...I was born in 63 & was surprised to learn of this as a teenager.
Load More Replies...The claim is UNTRUE. Depending on the states, laws protecting women ownership of land and financial properties were passed as early as 1839. California made into the law provisions for equal banking practices in 1862, followed on federal level by the Homestead Act in the same year. The 1974 reference is the date the Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) was passed, expanding the mandate of equal treatment to both sexes when it came to banking practices. Before 1974, SOME banks required a male co-signer for some activities such as requesting a credit card or opening a loan; a few required a male co-signer to open an account. The reason for this practice (that was occasional in older times, and in 1974 was effectively dying out) was that women were rarely the main breadwinner of the household, and their income was less stable or likely to cease if they had children, so having a co-signer was a form of credit protection for the bank, at a time when personal credit was starting to became widespread but still not well regulated.
Jrog, you've just explained why "send it to the states" and "states rights" is such a bad thing! Human Rights, Civil Rights, Voting Rights, the rights of all sorts of minorities (religious, gender, sexuality, etc) can only be guaranteed if NATIONALLY protected!
Load More Replies...Let's not exaggerate this. Yes, it was difficult (though not impossible) for a woman to get a line of credit in the 50s and 60s, but they could own homes, have bank accounts, purchase cars, etc. Credit cards were still relatively new in the 1960s and most men didn't have them either.
Not true. I was 18 and working for a legit company and I opened my first account at Boston Federal for savings. All I needed was a picture id and my birth certificate.
Absolutely, all that individual had to do was read further in the Ai recap to see that 1974 was when it was made illegal for banks to discriminate against women accessing credit. My mother had a checking account in 1962 when she and my father divorced. She paid our bills with that account. There seems to be a great many Europeans (yes, I'm generalizing because most of the flak comes from there) who so despise the US that they will bend the truth like a paper clip to suit their purpose. Small people with smaller lives.
Load More Replies...As a child of 12, female, I had my òwn bank account. My Grandmother had opened it for me in 1960. I live in New Zealand. Our voting for women was the first in the world: September 1893. We could stand for mayor earlier than that, but not vote.
One of the biggest godsends to women was the legalization of "no-fault" divorce. Be aware...there are those gunning for it.
Until women get in lock-step like a labor union they'll never get control back from the men. We need the dmn women to save us so step up!
Why can't the men step the fùck up and stand next to us?
Load More Replies...I left my marriage in 81 and still had issues with bank and credit cards. Hard to believe that was not that long ago.
Before the UK gets holier than thou, a womans salary was not counted towards the household income for a mortgage before the 70s
My aunt and uncle recently celebrated their 60th anniversary and at the party people were talking about how they set the example for marriage. My uncle was a verbally and physically a*****e drunk for over 20 years who assaulted his wife and sons. She SHOULD have left his a*s and it's sad she didn't because one of the sons because an a*****e father with 2 daughters who accept abuse from their partners. That marriage lasting 60 years is a failure, not a success. Thank god my uncle is sober and kind now, but man... I hated that guy when I was young.
Women could have savings accounts, but not checking accounts or credit cards. Couldn't even rent a flat without a man's signature co-signing the lease.
Men playing make-believe are coming for your sports next ladies!!
Have no worries ladies... Men pretending to be women are coming for your sports as well .
Well, that is complete BS. My g-g-generation was way more advanced than you censoring, moralistic doogoobers are today. Born in 1959, grad HS in '77, and free the entire time except for the uptightness about pot back then.
“Slowly, the business started growing,” she said. “From my first client who surprised his wife with a heart-shaped cake to now handling hundreds of orders every week.” She still remembers that first order clearly. It wasn’t just about the cake, it was the love behind it. That feeling hasn’t changed. Only now, there’s more frosting and a lot more joy.
“I hired help along the way,” she shared. “One woman, in particular, was incredibly hardworking. One day, she asked if she could take the leftovers from a five-layer cake.” Surbhi agreed, but the question stayed with her. Why that day? Why those leftovers? Sometimes, kindness starts with curiosity. And this moment sparked something unexpected.
“I said yes, of course, but asked why,” she continued. “She told me it was her daughter’s birthday. They couldn’t afford a cake, and she wanted to surprise her.” That day stayed with Surbhi. She couldn’t stop thinking about it. So she made a decision to never let a good cake scrap go to waste. And from that, something sweeter was born.
I am doing better than my parents but that is not saying much because we grew up on the poor side... Its all relative I suppose
“I started using leftover cake, frosting, and toppings to make small desserts,” she said. “Nothing fancy, just pure, edible joy.” She began setting aside time each week to prepare these treats. What others might throw out, she turned into little moments of happiness. For her, it wasn’t about cost. It was about caring.
“Every week, I distribute these sweet treats to children in my area,” she said with a smile. “It’s become a part of my routine now.” The kids wait for her with excitement. Their smiles are all the reward she needs. It's a simple act, but it carries so much meaning. And for those kids, it's everything.
Must be an Isle not an aisle as she got the Tide to go...sorry I haven't had coffee yet
“I also bake full cakes at a low cost for families who can’t afford one,” she shared. “Birthdays, special occasions, everyone deserves a treat.” She doesn’t ask for much in return. Sometimes just a name, sometimes just a smile. For Surbhi, baking has become a way to give. A way to say, “you matter.”
Pls don't tell corporate America or they'll develop that as another funding stream for their workplace.
“Everyone should get a chance to enjoy something sweet,” she said. “And when I show up with a decorated cake for a kid’s birthday, the smile on their face, nothing compares.” That moment of joy is what drives her. It's why she continues, even on the hard days. Kindness, after all, is its own reward.
I do sock slipper sock slipper and then walk to the other room for shoe shoe
“We should all try to spread a little more kindness,” she added. “Some of my regular clients even pitch in. They order a cake for their event and add a mini cake for a child in need.” It’s a growing circle of goodness. What started in one kitchen has reached dozens of homes.
The sweetness of Surbhi’s actions goes far beyond sugar and flour. Her story reminds us that kindness doesn’t have to be grand; it just has to be genuine. And while she spreads smiles with her cakes, we’ve got some memes to keep your grin going, too. Because laughter, like kindness, is best when shared. What about you? Which meme made you smile today? Tell us in the comments!
I get wound up when some t***p drives slow and it takes me up to 15 minutes to get to work... :-) Wow. Twer-P. Really?
Just wait til you hit your late 50's! Still feeling 14 inside, but not so confident & worrying about retirement.
My grandma would call and yell at my voicemail thinking I would hear it and pick up
Fill the thing with glitter too for the ultimate reminder. please note I am not a fan of glitter.
Yeah, well I see Bored Panda posts about the Instagram reels that were popular 2 weeks after they were TikTok vids,
A call from our daughter at her babysitting gig.."how do you tell when Spagettio's are done?".."are they warm?"..."yeah"..."they're done"
Well, maybe the baby sensed the dad's confidense about everything being OK.
That's actually not the only difference. Eye shape is different and so is the nose.

Money doesn't equal to quality in the US entertainment industry anymore. It's mostly wages for the stars, their 100 employee strong cohort from assistants to the assistant's assistant's assistants, overboarding CGI and several re-shoots.
