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.

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.

When she was sixteen, the catastrophic clutches of destiny snatched away her parents. They passed away in a road accident and Neena was devastated. Relatives thronged her now gloomy house and soon it was decided that she should be married off.
Menopause is a reality in women's lives, so Indian workplaces need to gear up and address women's menopausal needs.
