You revert to the
shelf to acquire
knowledge on our
struggles/journey.

We live it everyday.
And guess what,
you don't see it.

"Privilege is invisible to
those who have it"

~ There you go!

While I play my own cards:

You see disrespect
I view bold

You see shameless
I call it courageous

You see yourself
Duh, that's me.

Absolutely mistaken!
Quite much?

You can destabilize her life
by deciding on behalf of her
if she can:

1. Pursue her career
2. Take care of her own family
3. Access education
4. Voice against domestic
violence
5. Have her right to property
6. Have reproduction rights
7. Have universal suffrage

But, when she decides to
take a stand for herself, opt
for equailty and voice against
such malpractices,
you shout names at her &
label her a "feminist".

Oh, well.
Karma is definitely a bitch.
I bet!

Tried quietening my wrath,
Held myself strong to meditation,
tales of motivation & smiling yoga,
Ain’t I more headstrong than this?

Oh, to my sweet despair,
I’m a brittle soul, holding grudges
against people who solely
live by belittling others as a
perfect survival strategy.

More gracious, they wish!

I don't care how old you're
I simply don't trust your
decisions, there's a dire
need for me to intervene
& brainstorm solutions.

Period.

Capable women don't
abandon their parents
in the name of rituals,
but, device ways to
manage their various
frontiers & take care
of them better.

When it comes to
looking after parents,
it's never a choice but
a responsibility.

The sight of the migratory birds
tunes me to our love narrative.

Likewise, we've passed by zones
of disparity in our cultures, caste
& beliefs. Have reposed faith in
heterogeneity & disregarded
rebellions with a mountain of
heavenly ignorance. We bore
enough affection to regulate satiety!

Post every rough streak,
the instances that captured
You & I are my favourites.

Feels like being kissed by the
sky that renovated my
disintegrated heart by degrees,
with the static chords of God's
outright love in the play.
Good gracious!

Sooner/later I spot myself
chasing your smile inside a cozy
kiosk of my humble mind with
utmost politeness.
Fondness, right...

When it's a matter of
convenience, she hooks
up to independence.
That's when any
signatory woes
seem tiny with a
rigid face of
s a t i s f a c t i o n
staring back at her.

-

Her way out of stagnation
has always been sweating
out those irresistible
calories, building convex
conversations & smiling in
the comfort of strangers.
