I'm An Animal of Past!

I'm an animal of past.
Of bygone years that is lost forever.
That cannot be retained.
I don't see Geras.
All I see is the happy orchards and Wild strawberries.
I long for the civilisations that ended,
the lost cultures,
the secrets of founding fathers,
the spirits of Phoenix,
the secrets whispered to the walls of the monuments and palaces,
the dried out rivers,
the crowned women of kingdoms,
the glory of nature,
the love wars and the great expeditions.
The violet flowers of childhood,
the years of selfless love,
the happiness of mornings,
the endless talks with genuine people,
the echoes of happy laughs.
But the comfy places and laps
that offered sleep have now turned out to be a pipe dream.
However,
I must remind you that
I'm a nostalgic idiot fed by smell of history and vintage moments.
You try to get me out of here,
but I prefer to be in this attic of cobwebs and blurry roofs
and wait for the resurrection of Unicorns!

Laapataa Ladies aka Ladies Lost in Patriarchy

Kiran Rao’s “Laapataa Ladies” is a social satire that offers entertainment as well as empowerment. The movie humorously portrays the grave realities of a patriarchal society with the help of a simple story and background. As the name and the trailer suggested, it revolves around two newly married brides who get lost on the way to their in-laws’ home. While Jaya, whom Deepak accidentally brings home instead of his wife Phool, seizes this opportunity to follow her dream, Phool undergoes profound personal growth during the time. This period shows multiple women discovering themselves. Some learn to do things that they love for themselves while others learn to explore and embrace their talents.  Even though Jaya and Phool are two contradictory characters, they are both equally victims of patriarchal conditioning. While Jaya is ready to break and act against all the norms of society from the very beginning by uttering the name of her husband to everyone’s disbelief, Phool learns to do t...

SHE

She was a girl of little importance.. She was not a damsel or a princess. But there was fire in her eyes. The fire of determination. Fire of dreams to be fullfilled. She never saw it ,but others did. But others never understood it ,but she did. She always dreamt of her future prince. Her shining eyes and glossy lips always waited for the arrival of her prince. One day. She met her prince,the charming one who came on white horse, she believed destiny made them meet, And she prayed let the same destiny unite them!! Days passed. Everyday she saw him. But she was afraid to come out of her shell. Another day. As she walked, he came. He walked towards her. she paused. As he reached closer her heart wrenched from its seat. And now there is no distance  between them. He smiled and reached for her lips. she closed her eyes. They kissed. It was deep. He looked at her. She tried to be normal.. But there was nothing normal around her...

Everything  transcends darkness... Orendaa!! Altar... Angels... Baby's breath... Laughs... Sunlight... Rain... Candles... Peace... Breath at last... Yes! Time to revamp my life. A.C
