A young woman who has recently lost her husband muses on where he might be, and finds an unexpected answer in her thoughts. #Poetry
Standing in my balcony,
I watch the world go by,
Everyone looks so alive.
I look up at the sky
And I think
Are you looking at me,
Can you see me now?
They say there are no regrets after death
But who has come back and told us.
Are you sad?
Do you miss me too?
Do your arms ache to be around me?
Are you lonely?
I try not to think about you,
I don’t look at your pictures.
I run from your memories
And yet I carry you everywhere with me.
Your smile, your words.
I see you in me.
When I give the kitchen counter top an extra rub it’s you I see,
When I watch political debates and participate, it’s you I hear,
When I study the share market it’s your instincts I rely on,
When I laugh at the mindless comedies it’s your humor I appreciate,
You forged me into what I am today.
You taught me to be me.
You are in me, a part of me now.
You are not gone, you have not left,
You just became me
To be with me, eternally…

If her MIL had accepted her with some affection, wouldn't they have built a mutually happier relationship by now?
The incident took place ten years ago.
Smita could visit her mother only in summers when her daughter had school holidays. Her daughter also enjoyed meeting her Nani, and both of them had done their reservations for a week. A month before their visit, her husband told her, “My mom is coming for 4-5 months!”
Smita shuddered. She knew the repercussions. She would have to hear sarcastic comments from her mother-in-law for visiting her mother. She may make these comments directly only a bit, but her servants would be flooded with the words, “How horrible she is! She leaves me and goes!”
Maybe Animal is going to make Ranbir the superstar he yearns to be, but is this the kind of legacy his grandfather and granduncles would wish for?
I have no intention of watching Animal. I have heard it’s acting like a small baby screaming and yelling for attention. However, I read some interesting reviews which gave away the original, brilliant and awe-inspiring plot (was that sarcastic enough?), and I don’t really need to go watch it to have an informed opinion.
A little boy craves for his father’s love but doesn’t get it so uses it as an excuse to kill a whole bunch of people when he grows up. Poor paapa (baby) what else could he do?
I was wondering; if any woman director gets inspired by this movie and replicates this with a female protagonist, what would happen?. Oh wait, that’s the story of so many women in this world. Forget about not giving them love, you have fathers who try to kill their daughters or sell them off or do other equally despicable things.
