so deep is our love I’m your strength in awe at your kindness, I am let’s put away anything together to create
powerful a bond inseparable and genuine not even a joke is a day away as committed we are
no terms or conditions our love is unconditional
revered I am, a goddess domestic or salaried profits or debts plans and funds let’s trust and share
for a lifetime is the investment deposit and save in the name of love to weather all storms and forever yours, I am
unsinkable this ship is infallible and isolated in a bottomless expanse gullible I stand uprooted from home my compasses left behind
too intense the intimacy disarming but intimidating vulnerable I’ve become wrenched with regret bewildered at the impenitence so flawless and self-righteous
be shamed with blame in anguish, I stand on the deck so distressed with no where to flee
so abstract this relationship behind the open doors sharing and caring at your boundless mercy I let myself abused with consent
too unhinged to notice what was in plain sight How did I not see I loved you a bit too much
not disoriented anymore I see. You had your T&Cs.

She is also a social warrior, the rare celebrity from the film industry who has also gone back to her roots to give to poverty struck farming villages in her native Marathwada, with her NGO Nabhangan Foundation.

“What is a woman’s job, Ramesh? Taking care of parents-in-law, husband, children, home and things at work—all at the same time? She isn’t God or a superhuman."
The arrays of workstations were occupied by people peering into their computer screens. The clicks of keyboard keys were punctuated by the occasional footsteps moving around to brainstorm or collaborate with colleagues in their cubicles. Most employees went about their tasks without looking at the person seated on either side of their workstation. Meenakshi was one of them.
The thirty-one-year-old marketing manager in a leading eCommerce company in India sat straight in her seat, her eyes on the screen, her fingers punching furiously into the keys. She was in a flow and wanted to finish the report while the thoughts and words were coming effortlessly into her mind.
