The poem that I have today is of a woman who is captive, when I was writing this poem at that time in my mind this woman was literally captive, but after finished the poem and reread it, I realised it is as true for a woman who is figuratively captive too, societal norms, inhibitions, others’ expectations of her. Here she is looking out of her barred and tiny window at the golden shower tree and pleading with it.

You know how some stories are – beautiful in their simplicity, almost lyrical, with powerful imagery, the inner struggle of the protagonist and a moral lesson all woven together effortlessly into a memorable tale. And the best part is they remind us of our childhood stories. This tale too, with its mix of fantasy and fable takes us back to our childhood days.

Both the poems have one thing in common.

There is a distinct before and after, and in between them is this moment and this phase that the poet is talking about. In both the poems things change and that emotion is what has led the poet to these poems. And both the poems bring us to a point where we become a new version of ourselves, a new 2.0.

It is the wedding season in India, but the covid-19 pandemic has brought about a drastic change in the way we have weddings here. The venues, menus, guest lists, brides dress, meeting and blessing the new couple, the gifts. But what has not changed is the feeling of the bride’s mother. I have penned down a poem about it. Its what I think I will feel and do when my daughter gets married.

A beautiful story that reminds us of the kind of stories our grandmothers used to tell us.  People, animals, morals all shaken and stirred together to make the perfect mock(tale) that was greedily drunk before bedtime. Better than hot chocolate or turmeric latte milk. This story reminded me of those times. Sigh!!!

Overworked and overburdened, racing against the clock, boss may get angry if the work is not finished – sounds familiar? Well the protagonist in this story is seriously worried about the same thing. Will be able to finish the work before clock strikes twelve?
