Do you yearn for me as I do for you, to give me a hand on my final day?
They are afraid, they call you names, but they don’t see,
Among them all, you are the most faithful a friend can ever be.
While I conclude my life story, leaving it for wagging mouths to criticise, agape;
You will be the one who will take me out on my final act of escape.
When my show is done and down goes my curtain,
I know people will change, but among the uncertain; you – I know, will be my sole certain.
You lure me, entice me; tempting me to take that plunge once and for all;
Nice move; but you can’t deprive me of my fairytale end – to be saved by you, my charming prince standing tall!
You will take off my armour, scrape off my paint, tear me away from all pretence;
You will see me for what I am – skin, bones and hair – you will breakthrough my every defence.
You will break me down to my essentials; undress me, unchain me – of course, I will hence forever be yours to keep;
You, I know, are that friend, who will for the last time, tuck me into sleep…

She sat motionless on the royal bed, her knees drawn up to her chin, staring vacantly outside the palace window.
She was sheathed in exquisite scarlet red silk, shot through with golden threads forming intricate traditional patterns. Chests of gems and jewellery were strewn all over the bed. The maids were fussing over whether a diamond-studded necklace would suit their queen or a gold choker would look better. Another younger maid was arranging her tresses in a coiffeur.
Actor Siddharth sent out a distasteful tweet in response to a tweet by Saina Nehwal, in what he thought were clever words, but this slur on any woman is not acceptable.
Trust me when I say I’ve run out of patience in stopping myself from calling this ‘liberal’, self-proclaimed feminist actor out umpteen times in the past.
Let me count them out for you.
A victim of sexual abuse by her own brother, the writer was shunned by her family. This is her story of forgiving and finding peace for her own self.
Hello Everyone,
My name is Anita Goel and I am sharing my own #MeToo story. I am doing so in the hopes that it will raise and spread some awareness about the epidemic of childhood sexual abuse and all the other abuses prevalent in our society.
With marriage come a lot of expectations, especially from a newly wed Indian bride. Dressing up and looking a certain way, as well as fasting for the 'long life' of a husband are some.
With marriage come a lot of expectations, especially from a newly wed Indian bride. Dressing up and looking a certain way, as well as fasting for the ‘long life’ of a husband are some.
There are lots of things that a newly wed Indian woman is expected to do, and most of it includes being dressed in a certain way, at least for a few days after the wedding. After all, she must “look married!”
I faced the same dilemma and be it as it may, a lot of people expected various things to change about me, especially the way I dressed and talked after being married.
