Step out

When you step out and still do not step out,

You go on that luxury vacation to feel good

But your mind is where it has always stood.

Endlessly thinking of expenses rather than relaxing.

About office politics, salary increments,

and worst of all if you find a fellow colleague

though the location and landscape changes

you are still at work- worried and anxious

having the same discussions.


So step out first from that mental space,

before you step into a nice place.

The change you want is impossible

just going for a vacation isn't sensible.

Rather engage in an activity that helps rejuvenate

Where you take a note and appreciate

all little things you overlooked off late.

like that hot food on your plate,

and your baby waiting for you at the gate.


Push yourself to think through and step out in a real sense

just don’t try to escape my dear mate.

What a girl wants?

I don't wish to be a trophy of your home, I am a slice of this universe. I am a wildflower, I am free to wield power. With choices of my own, Don't hold me back by the stereotypes. As I don't wish to go along, the usual flows or traditional ways. Like a recurring tide that moves all along still at the shore, it stays. Let me be a young river make meanders and flow, Let me bask in the sun and glow. Don't make me fear the bruise and burns I may get, For without taking a plunge far more I will regret.

Weird Modern Women

They are called modern in every era For they dare to be different Push the social boundaries Ask explanation for traditions That paint them weak, Keep them away from power, Burden them with responsibility, Curb their right to choose  and push them to just follow- the mores and customs & practices most of which they despise. She is often caught and pulled back  by this social web  so intricately knit that guides her look her every move her  every choice because she fears being an outcast It is so skillfully made That even in her rebel too she tortures herself to fit a checklist of liked/ desirable women  From waxing her body to wear that shorts/skirt to compromising her career for family it all looks fair and part of peaceful living.

Real is Beautiful

 Real is Beautiful, And it keeps me happy Even when I have a few pimples, some acne scars, bushy eyebrows,  and multiple sunspots. I don't lose my confidence because of any of these. I am at total peace. As they just reflect my age, I accept them all with grace. I am totally comfortable in my skin. No need for a no-makeup look effort and the use of numerous filters. No anxiety about not being noticed, or crazy desire for likes from strangers. Why should I be hiding that ? which is natural and real. Why should I be fake? Being well-groomed makes sense, But covering up my reality, Would it not be like cheating myself? I instead choose to accept all that is mine, and improve upon to rise and shine.
