Lovers


Let's go to the fields
Hand in hand
And lay on the green bushes
Then I would tell you strangest things- of people with a dream-head
Who talks bizarre language,
Of people with eyeballs pulled out by crying,
Of couples turned into statues and more.
Before being cloyed by the tequila sunrise,
Let's make love like lovers.
And when the ecstasy fades away,
Let's make some pies and
Sing a love song.
Dressed like a dead princess, you would take me to your castle,
Of crumbling walls and depleting alleys,
Where I can listen to the songs from the rusted piano.
When I pretend to go, you can
Keep me by your side by reading out tales from your book of love,
When only the scent of the old book would keep me there.
Guided by the white horse we may return to the fields,
Where the stories of our blind love remains unchanged.
When horror chases the horse,
It leaves us and seeks shelter in the evening's old stable.
Before being lured by your next love song,
I would ran away to pluck the violet lilies,
To tuck them in your pockets.
Seeing the mistletoe above, you would come to kiss me,
When lavenders giggle and
hide behind last sun rays,
I would whisper you a secret and walk away from you,
Gifting you a bunch of butterfly weeds,
And leaving you to cultivate your infinite dreams.

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...

No Worries!

I really wonder why people around me worries a lot. They stress on some matters as if it some great disaster is about to come.. We have this sole life and spending this whole life vexed on trivial things means wasting our valuable moments.Instead of that why can't people cherish their memories ? At least it can create a smile on their faces. Spread smiles and relax your cheek muscles. Travel lonely and accompany no one. Purchase and feel everything. Make this your motto and live a better life. You can die a better man. A.C

Murmurings of Married Women

  I hear murmurings from the graveyard In the West of the town,  Of married women,  Dead and disappeared years ago.  I wonder what a time they had,  What a life they lived.  Their husbands weep and weep and forget them,  They praise how they looked after their women,  Covering in glittery gold,  Buying them silly silks,  Giving makeup for a make-over.  But still, the women murmur,  Their voices seem to break the edges of tombs.  They force the sun to dry out the flowers on them quickly.  I lowered my face and listened to the tombs,  It seems their lipstick was revolting,  Their eyelashes lifted to show the desperation.  They talk about the lies they had to live through,  In fear of strangers' pointing fingers on getting a hint on their unhappy marriages.  They call out their abusive partners,  Told me to look for the broken bangles behind the kitchen for proof,  The blood-stained clo...
