New Woman

Blast from the past.
Year- 1997, Poem- New Woman !!!!

Oh Beautiful ! 

You are the woman who has risen,

From the fettered graves of slavery.
Guiding your pain 

Through the closed walls of your inner horizon.
You have nurtured a tempest 

With the ashes of your cindered reverie.

Pioneering a path where you shall never return
To the mourning realm of your heinous past.
The awakening of verve could seldom be deferred.
You had to move places as the dice was already cast.

And now,
You are empowered to swallow freedom in your ravenous trap.
And to carve the words which were stifled from being spoken.
Incinerating the cultural norms and sacrilegious scrap.
You have scorched the rules meant to be broken.

One of my favorite painting Artist- Amrita Sher- Gil

Amrita Shergill, an eminent Indian painting artist, a stunningly beautiful woman with amazing talent. Amrita's art has influenced generations of Indian artists and her depiction of the plight of women has made her art a beacon for women at large both in India and abroad. A classic artist who flawlessly imbibed the complexities of her life within her beautiful paintings. The beauty about her work is the intricate yet innate marination of modern sensibilities with traditional values.
Of all her beautiful paintings, I liked this one.. It is a self painting nevertheless there is something about the picture and her expression that makes me want to look back a million times.
