Happy 2020



To all the strangers who became family,
To all the random inconveniences that I made,
To all the bloody decisions that I took,
To this fragile body that supported me,
To all the stronger hands that offered help,
To all the pains that prepared me,
To all the stories with absurd unhappy endings,
To all the sources of my contagious laughs,
To all the distant relations that are less distant,
To all my glorious gut feelings that moved me,
To all the ditches that I fell,
To all the mountains from which I rose,
To all the wondrous eyes that searched for me,
To all the applause that lifted me,
To all the late night conversions that offered enlightenment,
To all the aesthetic pleasures that   I experienced,
To all the fading lights that made me stronger,
To all the inglorious geniuses who made an impression,
To all my regular energy boosters,
To all my artistic capabilities that excelled,
To all the roads in which I lost myself,
To all the books that created an aura,
To all those blessed souls who made my life blessed,
I fell and I Rose,
I will fall and I will Rise,
Hold me firmly,
Surround me with your aura,
You still have a long way to go.

Happy New Year
Happy New Decade.

Of mothers, sarees and their grief

Mothers are often presented as the epitome of love in movies. The struggles, sacrifices and the quiet tiredness they carry are praised, even placed on a pedestal. But we rarely talk about their grief, the grief of unlived lives. Have you ever thought about the lives of these mothers before marriage and motherhood? Before all the giving began? So often, clad in their sarees, mothers cook and smile, clean and laugh. But is that all they ever wanted? Do they carry the weight of the shadows of their unlived lives? Many do, though they may never say it aloud. And they leave it behind for the happiness of the ones they love. I often feel that when they wipe sweat from their brows with the edge of their sarees, they catch the glimpse of their hidden grief. The loneliness and the neglect they receive, they tuck it away, fold it into the pleats of their sarees and smile again. Some may have once wanted to be doctors, teachers, dancers, writers, travellers. And even in their happiest moments, th...

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...
