Taming Me is Not Easy

Taming me is not as easy as you think,

For you cannot contain me in your

Petty accounts of suppression.

If you think of taming me,

Honey, you have to think twice.

I'm not easy as the animals you tame,

Or your subordinates you have at your beck and call.

No, I'm not questioning your taming abilities,

For which you are renowned.

But I'm overconfident about my abilities to overpower you.

The fire and my silk dress made of years of struggle

Are great warriors and killers.

They can torture you and your allies,

With the faces and lives of people, you have trampled down,

They retaliate your atrocities through their cries and curses.

My dear, you may not have any idea,

But it is not easy to tame me.

You judge my appearance and make a move with your whip,

But your whip can be crushed and thrown in four directions,

Which grow and produce thorns of insecurities around you.

Even if you come like a chameleon,

I can identify you,

With your foul mouth and indecency

Ingrained in your blood.

Now you know, taming me is not easy, because it torments you.

And when the dust settles

With you and your allies running away

With your taming policies,

I will open your petty accounts of suppression,

And release the prisoners.

At dusk, we will rejoice and drink

in the ecstasy of our freedom and strength.

Tu Koi Aur Hai

The characters of Imtiaz Ali are always difficult to decipher and can only be done if the actors do complete justice to it. And two such celebrated characters of Imtiaz Ali are Ved and Tara of Tamasha . Meeting Ved in Corsica was accidental to Tara. Both of them came there to be alone and enjoy some time away from their busy life. But what destiny had for them was different. But for Tara, what happened in Corsica didn't just stay at Corsica. What attracted Tara towards Ved was his coolness and the quirkiness which ultimately made her fall in love with him and break up with her boyfriend. She continued to pamper the memories at Corsica even without knowing Ved or his name. But meeting Ved which she longed for four years and being his girlfriend was not what Tara wanted. Tara fell in love with the Ved whom she met at Corsica not the Ved at Delhi. But it was all difficult for the Ved who is actually battling bipolar disorder to accept his reality.

Twenty-Five

They say twenty-five matters, 25 is the age where you are asked to be responsible, You are supposed to bring home food, It's an age where your uterus has to be fukcing good, It is an age where you have to be fair And good as a nymph, It is when your wallet should have a five-figure sum. They say at twenty-five, You will be twenty-five times purer than ever, To breed and nurture, No dear not your dreams, but your children's. But that's not it. I SAY THAT IS NOT IT. It is an age where you realize, You no longer have the desire to live the monotonous life, You no longer feel alive at a celebration, You find yourself as the perfect company, You don't care if you die today or tomorrow, You want to puke at people who restrict you from doing things. You no longer want to be surrounded by people, And your skills are your only saviours. At 25, you no longer care if people love ...

Lady Hawk - The Flawed Protector of Easttown

Kate Winslet as Mare Sheehan in 'Mare of Easttown' gives us the perfect portrayal of middle aged woman that we have been wanting for so long. Instead of giving us the sexualized, all perfect, extremely talented and beautiful typical heroine, we have Mare who is shown as a normal human being, flawed, at times selfish, unglamorous with a bulgy belly. As humans, we are not perfect, we are flawed at certain ways. Similarly Mare do not have a perfect relationship with everyone around her. She doesn't try to work on it just in the fear of facing it. We listen people constantly reminding us "to face our demons" , but that's not easy as heard. We all are afraid to the core of reliving all the past, the traumas, the unsaid words, the mistakes, the happy moments. Mare is one of us. It requires a lot of time and courage to face our fears after several failed confrontations like Mare. She is expected by everyone to fulfill her duties as a mother, daughter,wife and frie...
