Because You're a Girl


Smile, Laugh And Spread Joy,
Until You See The Window Of Your Tower
The World Beneath, The Life Out There
No Colour There That Is Absent In The Tower
But You See The Sky, The Birds, Your Brother
Jumping, Dancing, Playing In The Dirt
You Wonder Why You Alone
Spend Your Time Safe N Comfy In The Tower
No Birds, No Rain, No Strangers Reach You,
Until You Realize You Were Born
To Fly, To Soar And To Dream
You Can’t Fly, You Won’t Soar,
But You Do Dream, That You Fly
That You Spread Your Wings
Dreams Turn Nightmarish When You Wake Up
Your Wings Cut Down, But You Dont Bleed.
Because You Cant. Because You’re A Girl.

Timeless Tableau, A Twist in The Tale

The dinner with her parents went exceptionally well, especially with the surprise they had given her. Her mother came into the room with a steaming cup of coffee, just the way Asha loved. She knew from the aroma wafting from the dining room that her mom had not only settled down and made herself comfortable, she had taken over the kitchen duties and had already prepared a yummy breakfast. The news that her parents would be staying a while with her was by far one of the most pleasant surprises she had received in a long while.

Dark Secret

To say the least, my parents rejected and disowned me when they came to know how I really am. It is not by my free will that I lead a life like this, hiding from the society, never going home, always afraid of being ridiculed or mocked at. It is not my parents’ fault that they live in a coastal village along the western ghats of India where they are still not free to decide what is right and what is wrong for them. Similarly, it is not my fault that I’m like this; this is not a choice I have made.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

The sun rose like every other day, its rays orange and warm kissed her awake; the coffee her mom made was sweet; the bouquet of roses that came in still had thorns one of which pricked her; birds were singing but sounded nowhere close to violins playing; why then did they call this love? Asha smiled as she went on with her daily chores. Today was a big day for her, beyond doubts, but she knew it would be a bigger day for Milan – the day his dreams would start coming true, the day she would officially walk into his life, as his fiancĂ©.
