Barbie dolls and frocks of bright hue, Reminds me of my yearning for you.
Barbie dolls and frocks of bright hue,
Reminds me of my yearning for you.
Swinging merrily in the mellow afternoon sunlight, your face gleams,
Now-a-days, you come so often in my dreams.
Pink ribbons and Disney hair-clips-
And the cutest pout on your lips.
Impish grin and mischievous eyes-
You’ll believe in living life queen size.
I softly plant a kiss on your forehead,
And croon a lullaby as I put you to bed.
Grow up princess, I whisper into your ears-
You’ll surely be matchless among your peers.

A myth that goes without saying is that only a woman can understand another woman better. What happens when a man does understand what a woman goes through? Especially when the woman is his mother, that too when she is a widow?
This scene does remind of a few movies/web series where the daughter/son do realize their mother’s emotions and towards the end, they approve of their new relationship.
Just because they are married a husband isn’t entitled to be violent to his wife. Just because a man is "in love" with a woman, it doesn't give him a right to be violent.
Trigger Warning: This speaks of graphic details of violence against women and may be triggering for survivors.
Anger is a basic human emotion, just like happiness or being sad. One chooses his/her way of expressing that emotion. It is safe until that action stays within oneself.
What happens when that feeling is forced upon another? The former becomes the perpetrator, and the latter turns out to be the victim.
