‘NGL’ BABE, YOU LOOK KINDA LAME

‘NGL’ babe, you look kinda lame, 
I don’t think you’re supposed to dress this way 
One thing goes here, that thing goes there
Be like me, if you wanna look ’cute’, dear!

(I feel freer in my weird outfits
I don’t dress up to be called a ’chick’
Fuck, I’m glorious in being insane
And not being called ’kinda lame’)

Come honey, let’s teach you to be pretty 
What’s the use of being witty, if you aren’t pretty!
Let me just change a thing or two
I’ll fix you up- as good as new!

(I’d rather you teach me how to wear joy
 But you’d rather make me a doll, to make me a toy)
Okay,
I’d rather be ’kinda lame’, than be ’fuckin’ same’

p.s. Okay so i wrote this in April, when, for some reason, it was really irrelevant, but i recently recalled this poem when it somehow turned relevant. well we know, no one makes fun of my baby bangs...🙂

i was weirded out by the fact that i wrote ’ngl’ though...

also, i found a super cute unicorn outfit for me online, and i was tempted by that to post this poem… yes, i’m getting that unicorn outfit🙃

UNTITLED

A dull and mundane ‘hello’ you say
I smile and smile and try cheerfully 
And you do what you do worst 
Okay, maybe I should put an end to my fkn energy

“There’s that silly girl” if I do something childish 
“Dude, do you have Parkinson’s?” if I’m too energetic

My mum tells me that a smile is contagious and so is a frown
And so maybe I should be someone who spreads a smile

But no one has any idea how I am behind my smiles

No one knows me 
No one reads the shit I write to myself 

I have moments of silence too, damn it

But a dull and mundane ‘bye’ you say
Sometimes I even get a ‘hmm’
Everything’s bothering everyone’s heads
Except to probably return me a smile.

P.S.: I’m not kidding, I’ve actually gotten that Parkinson’s comment. And yeah, let’s say this is a post on self love or at least an attempt to self love, in view of my miseries🙃

HERE SHE GOES AGAIN

Okay so I have a feeling that you guys are soon going to get annoyed by the fact that I’m turning a feminism blog into a blog where I blabber about the dogs in my neighbourhood (I call them ‘The Wannabes’, there’s a whole another story behind that). But I have to…

Well, a super interesting (and mortifying!) thing happened. Day before yesterday, a white bitch escaped somehow from her owners’ house (she had her leash on) and reached the Wannabe’s territory. As expected, the Gian gang instantly began their attempts at terrorising her. (This Gian-gang-terrorism is getting too violent these days, poor lil Snowy has taken something called ‘sannyas’ in the back-lane of our house, for some peace). But… never undermine a bitch’s strength…

And the white bitch barked right back. And oh God, she did NOT stop. At least for the next 2 hours. Now I’m not usually into drama when it comes to humans, and I usually get to know things at least a month late, but dogs-drama, I watch peacefully sitting in my balcony. The white bitch really made Gian’s wife hide under a car, probably for the first time in her life.

Now I don’t want to bring down the ‘fight-back-and-stick-up-for-yourself’ vibe but the white bitch had too much fun bothering Gian’s wife and returned the next day. Gian was probably overcome with a lot of love for his wife (interestingly, he was hiding the day before that too) and the entire Gian gang has severely, maybe fatally bitten the white bitch. Whatever, well, stick up for yourself and fight back, but don’t turn into a bully yourself.

Feminist moral of the story- don’t be afraid to fight back. Wherever you go, you will meet bullies and people who will try to let you down. They should know that you can be a bad (but smarter) bitch!

RUN AWAY, SIMBA

There’s this stray dog in my neighbourhood
I call him Shawn
He’s pure black, and purely beautiful to me

But there’s also another stray dog in my neighbourhood 
I call him Gean
He’s pure black, and purely ugly to me

Gean is less of a dog, more of a wolf
Less of a wolf, more of a lion 

A wolf would kill
A lion would terrorise

Gean terrorises Shawn
(I think he haunts him too)

Every night Shawn sleeps under a car
Every morning Shawn wakes to the sight of fierce eyes

The purpose of Gean’s life is to torture Shawn 

A hundred times each day
Shawn curses his mere existence 

You can hear him cry
He shrieks and shrieks
The other dogs are indifferent 

Because who stands with the weak?

P.S. Okay, I spell Gian as Gean because it seems better with an ‘e’, I don’t know how it’s spelled smh. Anyway, I’m a HUGE animal lover. Sadly, our Simba doesn’t have a Nala, because there’s no bitch potentially as cool as Queen Bey.
And why am I posting this on a blog on feminism? Well, feminism is more than uplifting women. It’s uplifting men, too. Some guys, especially in teenage, are overcome with an ‘inferior’ feeling, which is shit, because everyone is absolutely amazing. You be your fearless self, you’ll get plenty of Gean’s in your life, but just remember that you are far beyond someone who hides under a car🖤

STITCHES

I’m sure she has lost her sleep
That’s not the only thing she has lost...

On sleepless nights
She’s probably haunted
On the lucky nights
I’m sure she has nightmares 

Honestly
There is only an extent of pain that each person can withstand
But she suffers from the pain
She tires herself from the immensity of her pain
And she withstands it

She puts on a brave smile
She doesn’t share her pain

I’ve never seen her cry
It doesn’t matter

Every day I speak to her
I see the things behind her laughter

I know there are things beyond darkness in her heart
I know there’s resilience
I know there’s strength 
I know there’s light

Okay, the world crumbled upon her
But she will get back up on her feet

And she will be a survivor.

MOMS

There’s this pack of dogs where I live, and they’re my favourite pass time. They’re separated into 2 gangs, who keep terrorising each other whenever possible. Gang one: Gean (because he’s just like that fatty from ‘Doraemon’), Gean’s wife, DD (Desi Dalmatian), and Winnie. Gang two: Snowy (my favourite), Shawn (he’s the ‘Nobita’), Katy, and two puppies- Simba and Cutesy. There’s also Jesy, but she’s had something called a ‘hriday parivartan’ ever since Snowy left her for Katy… now Jesy spends most of her time in peace and solitude. 

Well, I’m really really observant with them.

A while back, poor little Simba and Cutesy were on the street when Gean was running to come and harm the little fellas. He does this all the time. Anyway, Katy saw that, and about the same time, there was a car which was approaching at a super high speed. But, she didn’t care to wait a second. God knows the speed at which she ran but she dived in front of the car, and in a moment, she safely reached her puppies and scared off Gean. Badass Katy! Wild or humane, moms are moms.

Moreover, I was going somewhere today, when I saw a truck like vehicle in front of our car. There was a lady in the open back of the truck, who had a little child and one infant with her.  The kids were so damn cute, so in the traffic, I kept observing them. That truck was probably not running very smoothly, it was making a lot of noise and shaking with every step. But the little cute kiddos were indifferent, carefree, just hugging their mom and their mom had her hands behind their heads to protect them. I couldn’t resist hugging my mum next to me.

Moms are gifts from God. Value yours.

A LIL PINK AND A LIL BLUE IN A LIL GREY WORLD

If the world is split into pink and blue
Come
Let’s paint it red.
If the world could be improved by creating walls
We’d be living in paradise.
And if the tall grey walls of castles
Define the beauty of the Earth
Tell me
Have you seen the beauty of our people?
One day, the walls will grow too tall
The world which was once green
Will appear grey everywhere 
And the walls will split the world into pink and blue.
We don’t want that, dear.
So come
We’ll paint the world red
We’ll fill the world with love
And our world will have an eternal glow.
The world will sparkle
The world will glow.
Come
Let’s paint it red.
Too cute to avoid!

P.S.: this lil girl’s swimsuit is the cutest thing on earth!

1+1

Together we will cross this bridge
Even if it’s burnt 
It’ll be alright 
If we hold each other’s hands
We will create our very own bridges 
Stronger than all the world’s ashes.

P.S.: A very small poem which I actually wrote months ago, but I read it often, since the situation has become worse. Why did I post this on a blog which is on feminism? I guess somehow this little poem of mine, in my head, is the soothing solution to all problems I face or see. Probably everyone is going through more than what is visible on the surface…

Everyone should know that it’ll be alright nonetheless🖤

BEYOND OUR LAWS

I don’t know if there’s a law against staring, but I know that almost all girls do wish that there was one.

Almost every girl at some point feels uncomfortable feeling shorts and certain dresses that she wants to. And I used to think that it’s our society that objectifies a girl by the length of her clothing, but as I have recently found, this is a problem across the world. A stare here, a stare there is everyday business, sadly. If I wore shorts and went out beyond my house’s gate, I would have to be prepared to tolerate the eyes staring shamelessly (which, by the way, is considered absolutely normal). And the worst part is, what is shameless isn’t called so. Instead, we are.

PETTY FREEDOM

If freedom could be granted on paper
All girls would be free
And all girls could be their own selves.

If freedom could be resting in my words
I’d scream my heart out.

But petty freedom lies in my attire.

Because petty eyes scan my freedom
As I scan my petty heart

Who was granted freedom on a piece of paper
Freedom, 
Which was taken away
By icy eyes and smirks.

A NOT-SO-LAZY WOMEN’S DAY

I was, somewhat lazily, planning on celebrating Women’s Day with a mere girl power playlist and reading quotes from the pools of messages. I had thought of writing something significant to post, and then again, out of laziness, dropped the idea. That is, until my dad showed me an amazingly emotional and empowering poem a few minutes back.

I was about to check the theme for International Women’s Day this year, in the morning, when I decided upon a very special thought: We should all have our very own theme for Women’s Day. This time, it wasn’t out of laziness though, because I did check the theme later! I decided that my own theme for Women’s Day this year would be: appreciation.

Every day, we see empowered women fighting their way through. We see them make sacrifices so that they can, one day, finally, make choices. Personally, I would like to appreciate my mom. I see mom to be an inspiration for me every day. My mom plays the most important role in making me who I am today, and I can say that I’m a feminist because of her. Moms work hard and they deserve all the appreciation I cannot even express in words.

Quite frankly, my mom smiles ear to ear each time I say that the food is delicious, which is almost every meal.

Also, UN’s theme for today is spectacularly empowering. “Choose To Challenge” is a way to say that you need to challenge certain things if you want a change. A change may be in the society or in anything that’s a hurdle to you. I find it relatable to self-love, in the way that you are beautiful and amazing the way that you are. People may call you names for who you are, and they may hate you for you, but if you are who you want to be, you have at least one person who loves you for your own self.
