When he goes, its all of that and more, But does she go? Does she even want to go?
“I’d rather go with friends”, “I won’t like it” Are heard far more than a yes with a smile
Is it her? Or is it us? Us, the rest?
Telling her she’s better off home, Better off hanging out with friends, Better off staying in her comfort zone
Stepping out could cause chaos Could let her stay unchecked, Unfiltered, uncensored We don’t want any trouble (well, trouble, danger or rape)
But remember, a step out takes you closer to places Places on the outside, places on the inside On a hill where the sun comes bright Her shining wings can illuminate the world Even enlighten all of us
All the world at her feet, if only we let her go She could use the solace, we could use the lesson.

The second season of Masaba Masaba (2020-2022) made me feel as if both Neena Gupta and her daughter Masaba have gotten typecast when it comes to the roles they play on screen. What’s more is that the directors who cast them have stopped putting in any effort to challenge the actors, or to make them deliver their dialogues differently.
Believe me I was shocked, aghast, disgusted to be watching such bizarre, mindless activities day in and day out.
Recently I happened to read a remarkable post The Potential Dangers Of Phallus-Worshipping A Toddler on this forum itself. The ideas and practices described therein were revolting to say the least.
But would you believe that I had a sense of deja vu after reading it? I was once upon a time a mute witness to certain similar (yet not so similar) activities. Read on to find out.
It was sheer misfortune that I got married into an ultra orthodox house where ‘men’ were premium while women were no better than pair ki juttis/doormats.
