Even when the world was young, did Eve believe that the world was her own? This poem will set you thinking.
One of the top 5 entries for April’s muse of the month writing cue, “Today the world is a little more my own.” (from Punishment in Kindergarten, Kamala Das).
Dusk settled in and dawn was yet to glow
Nocturnal souls were back in ethereal abode
Sacramental chores too called it a night,
Kicked by an excruciating endocrinal spurt;
Adam perspired and crudely sat awake,and
suggestively caressed sluggish Eve‘s lovely face.
At 3 in the night, she was startled at the bay,
as she heard him hoarsely say:
“Darling, I reckon an Urgent Need has aroused;
It won’t let me sleep, till the fire is doused”
Murmured the mannequin, as she quietly lied,
“My body is your temple O’ Ma’ lord;
only for you with all my devotion…
any time and as you like”
The ever-dutiful consort, nodded and complied;
and another part of Eve reverently died.
She consummated the deep passion in her stride;
darkness hiding the tear, stuck at corner of her eye,
suppressing sinking pain arising from her core
her limbs bushed severely due to the rigorous chore
Rigmarole returned as the sun shone bright
Both set out to earn to secure the future slight
Adam whispered softly, kind of apologized
“Don’t know what happened to me last night”
Said Eve – “Hush hush, you are a man, I discern.
Please don’t apologize , it was my turn to return.
and now I pay back my dues at each nightfall.”

Mostly Normal is a book of innocence, longing, filial love, angst and acceptance, encapsulating a gamut of human emotions within its lightweight edifice. The book touches the human heart and will stay with you.
Some books enthral you till the last page, and then there are those that you stop reading after turning a few pages. Some books are a one-time read, while you carry some books with you long after you have read them. Then, once in a while, a book hits you so close to home that you find it difficult to slot into any category.
I will put Priyadeep Kaur’s Mostly Normal (BookSoul Reads, 2022) in this last bracket.
At a little less than hundred pages, Mostly Normal is a testimony of the power of words to inspire, irrespective of their length.
Most women do not get to live their lives the way they want, on their own terms. So why should they be tied down in their old age?
Every morning, while dropping the kids at the bus stop, I find a grandfather waiting with his granddaughter. I see him again when I fetch the kids. This has been the pattern for the last few years.
He is seen actively participating in his granddaughter’s activities, from morning and evening walks to attending her parent-teachers meeting, sending her for extracurricular activities to even planning her birthday party. He is admired by all. He is appreciated for making himself useful in his old age. People rave that the doting grandfather is doing his duty towards his children and grandchildren. The much-admired grandfather is also a widower, having lost his wife years ago to chronic disease. It’s also to be noted that both his son and daughter-in-law are working parents.
Every day, the onlookers appreciate his sense of duty and dedication. They say that this is how the elderly should keep themselves occupied. They should bring up their grandchildren while their children go off to work.
