Call me a girl

-
•Call me A girl•

You want my walk to be narrow
Just like your mind
So that you can call me a girl.
You expect manner in my words
That you don't find in yours
So that you can call me a girl.

You want me to be covered in clothes
But you don't hesitate to think of me without them,even once
You want me to accept your judgements
And consider myself a toy with no sentiments.
You want me to adjust and sacrifice
So that you can call me a girl.

Your ego shrinks whenever I rise higher than you
You want me to seek your permission for whatever I do
You want my hue to be fair
And in my eyes you always expect care
So that you can call me a girl.

Now, I'll just proclaim to you
I possess a voice louder than yours
A heart pure than yours
I can roar like a lioness
On your slightest endeavour to subdue me
And snatch my share of happiness

If ever you try to manipulate my emotional fortitude
And attempt cracking me in miniscule pieces
Beware, I can stand staunch as a rock

I’m not a lifeless doll in this societal space
My existence holds more substance than words can describe
I am alive! So consider, before you call me a girl.

A lesson from the school called LIFE

-
 " When you judge someone, you don't define them, you define yourself."     -Unknown What would people think about me? What would they say? Aren't we all confined inside the boundaries of people's opinions about us? Every step we take in our lives is affected by people's views about us. Their judgements and their critical thoughts always run in our minds. Our life choices, reflect these opinions and restrict us from following our heart. But, are we really answerable to them, about our life and about our wishes? No. We are never answerable to anyone for how we want to live our life. We let ourselves down when we justify our decisions. Every time we provide them a reason, we doubt our own self. By giving them what they want, we continue disappointing ourselves. When we don't speak up, when we don't stand up, we betray ourselves. We give them a chance to question us and pull us down. The choices we make and the kind of life we live is wholly virtuo...

Social Acceptance or Individual Acceptance

-
"Social acceptance  can be defined as the fact that most people, in order to fit in with others, attempt to look and act like them." Every individual has his/her own special qualities. The qualities that make them different from others. Their emotions, perspectives, reactions, choices etc. differ from others. But, are all those differences accepted by the so called ‘society’? The answer is NO. How often have we tried to change ourselves so that we can fit in the picture! In order to be accepted and noticed, we’ve altered our traits, totally unaware of the fact that these inherent traits make us stand out from others. People have their own fixed definitions and examples of fitting into certain categories. For instance, only ‘beautiful’ and ‘attractive’ people appeal one’s eyes, only ‘polite’ individuals are kind hearted, only ‘extroverts’ have emotions and opinions, only ‘elders’ are wise and what not. And everyday, we try so hard to fit into their instances. We cover our...

Homecoming

"Don't tell me where to go, I know this place. It's HOME." I heard the lyrics of a song go and I wrote this piece 'HOMECOMING' Taran rung the doorbell as he adjusted his shirt and ran his fingers through his hair. To his surprise the doorbell was working... His heart pounded faster, every second. He wasn't nervous. After all, it was his own house that he was coming to... His mother opened the door and a smile struck her face as soon as she saw him. Her only son, her boy-Taran was standing at the door. She opened her arms and embraced him in her hug. She gave a comforting pat on his back and pecked a little kiss on his forehead. "Taran, beta... how was your flight? Did you eat anything?" she asked him. "Yes mumma, I did", he answered with a smile...he knew this would be her opening question. And as he said this, he noticed that wrinkles had caught his mother's face... He picked his bag up and walked inside. He took a stroll th...
