Little Women : A Celebration of Femininity

"Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I’m so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for.”Jo March in Little Women(2019) says this words not just for the sake of saying but to assure others that she really wants to be recognized and accepted for being what she is.

Little women's transition from girlhood to womanhood, falling in and out of love, making sacrifices,being happy at little things, and chasing their dreams speaks for every women out there.The beautiful movie adaptation of the novel of the same name written on the background of American civil war, a time when the society denounced the ambitions of women,will leave us wistful and teary-eyed. These five little women,with their closely-knit family celebrate their femininity and individualism to become something beyond an ordinary wife. The matured,sensible and talented Meg, independent, strong and fierce Jo, the practical and artistic Amy and the introverted,charitable and quiet Beth, all of them throws light into the different traits in females around us which sometimes we fail to recognize and accept.And this sisterhood in which they adhere to each other's dreams is necessary for every female to come forward.

The scenes of the girls sacrificing their Christmas breakfast,the heart touching bonding of Jo and Beth,the death of Beth,a devastated Jo destroying her letter to Laurie,an ambitious Jo writing her novel immersed in her imaginary world and her glow in the face at the sight of her book always fill our hearts with ambivalent feelings and eyes with tears.And it declares to all the Megs, Jos, Amys and Beths out there to "Love...all your days, if you choose, but don't let it spoil you, for it's wicked to throw away so many good gifts because you can't have the one you want".

General Madness

I see General Madness cracking open, He oozes out as a pulp from a laceration, He flows down the streets to places and people unknown. He would crawl up new landings and conquers them like he did to mine years ago. Some years back, he invaded my city of Head, Which was on the verge of destruction by the civil war, Between the groups of experiences and sorrows. When General Madness came, the two creepy groups united, made him their leader. For years I carried a nuclear explosion in my head. He was indifferent to the curves of my cursive letters, And produced scribbles of a toddler, sending out misinformation. He conducted minor explosions, assuring the solidarity of other inmates of my Land. But most times, Capt. Heart from the left quarters was a rebel, He filed verbal and written complaints in vain. He persuaded the Lady Mouth to utter things unknown and uncouth. She seemed an elegant lady outside, with a smile, she was confident of, Her son was Sir Gland who r...

YOU

Never did I think I could find something as attractive as you, You were like my morning coffee Without cream and muffins, My first prayer on every dawn And the last on dusk. My closet is indifferent without your cologne, Which lingered all day along the hall like fresh lavenders. And it was not the tequila in my margaritas that intoxicated me, but the constant sight of you, everytime I blinked my eyes. My psyche was away from the earthly realm wandering in the intricacy of your control. Flipping through the pages of our rendezvous I couldn't see the excitement in me, which was halted by what seemed to be my clockwork routine. But your face projected the blisters in your soul which apparently you hid under your attractive words. In and out, we failed To be the hues of each other's life. And I tried to paddle my canoe to reach yours. Yet you reliquished, your last song of content was dedicated to my colourless juice which purified my face. I wish the time had stopped jus...
