You are a box full of mysteries.
There is a possibility
that you never explored the extent of your abilities
because you lacked self-belief.

The Goddess Bleeds
Menstruation is as natural a process as breathing and nothing to be considered as a taboo or impure to touch the idols of deities. Adiparashakti, the creator and the destroyer of the existence, bleeds when she takes a human form. If a girl doesn’t bleed, it should never be considered that she is divine instead she should seek immediate medical help because this is unnatural. Her form as Kamakhya devi is specifically worshipped in the her form where she is menstruating. So, the next time anyone tries to shame women for menstruating and carrying out tasks while menstruating on the name of religion, remind them that they are the ones who worship Kamakhya devi. Remind them of their double standards and do not kneel down in front of their orthodox thinking.
Unresolved
In such situations that I find myself in,
will you please let me know
if I shall let you in
or you shall let me go?
The Magic Within
Thoughts keep changing according to experiences. Sometimes, I write to make me believe in my changing thought process, more like an aid in the transition and to remind myself that humans are diverse just as these experiences and we must keep learning and changing wherever necessary for our growth and our survival at times. Transformation is tough because the acceptance that the old patterns need to be let go is not an easy one because letting go is followed by uncertainty and then, we need step out of our comfort zone which is definitely not easy at all.
Together And Apart
I can feel myself going away from me.
Please stop me because you are me.
I know—though I often forget—this truth
that you mirror me and I mirror you.
More Than A Bond
Marriage is not opposed to or in support of feminism. Feminism is an idea completely independent from marriage. You may include it if you want to and we may find some aspects of feminism in marriage but like all relationships, marriage is more about balance, co-existence and equality between individuals, in core beliefs especially.
Heartbreaker
Be the heartbreaker if the need be.
Let them go and set yourself free.
You are not responsible for their growth.
They need to learn their lessons on their own.
Unaltered
Even though things have changed
and they keep changing time and again,
even though we have been learning
to recognise and unlearn being toxic
An Artistic Dilemma
Maybe sadness and grief initiate and enhance creativity but they shouldn’t be glorified due to this. Other emotions like happiness and success can also be a muse for creativity and those feelings may also be as deep.
A Divine Human Fable
Shakti and Shiv—
the divine father and mother,
one exists within the other
yet is complete without another.
