What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger! #GoFigure

Being strong is her bane today...
But once upon a time...
Being strong eluded her ...
What with societal norms...
And orthodox thoughts...
They still exist but...
In a subtle manner ...
Under different guises of support...
But none the less...
Barricades and obstacles to being a strong woman...
DO EXIST...
They tried to kill her ...
Under different pretexts ...
If they couldn't kill her physically...
They tried mental and emotional torture ...
They thought they had succeeded ...
Yet, she emerged from her ashes...
Bigger and stronger ...
Fir what doesn't kill you...
Makes you stronger ! #GoFigure

She's but a fool... Slut in a slit! #GoFigure

She's but a fool ...
Whispers in the corridors...
Whispers in the ladies powder rooms...
Whispers amongst his coursemates ...
Why does she strut around...
Like a proud peacock...
For what she doesn't deserve...
She feels the glory of her predecessor...
As her own...
She came much much later...
The hard work, sweat and toil ...
Was her predecessor's , not hers ...
She's but a fool ...
Wearing a slit doesn't make you a lady ...
It makes you look like a slut in a slit ...
Don't cut your own throat ...
And you call yourself a counselor ...
Hahaha! Joke of the millennium ...
Slut in a slit is most apt ! #GoFigure

He's a good actor... #GoFigure #DoubleInnuendo

Observing the trial of Johnny and Amber ...
She clearly can see ...
How Amber was manipulated to react in the way she did during her marriage...
Johnny is a great actor and she can see the skill with which he's playing the innocent victim ...
Garnering sympathy by painting the wife as a horrific beast ...
She recalls ...
She relates ...
Men too can act as victims and get away with murder ...
Especially in India ...
It's a man's world ...
Domestic abuse victims aren't given the justice they deserve ...
Abuse isn't just a physical scar. ..
It's years of social emotional torment ...
The scars of which aren't visible but ...
Take a toll on a woman's psyche ...
Leaving her scarred and traumatized for the entire life ...
No one blames the man and his family for driving a woman crazy ...
They act innocent ...
They are protected ...
The second wife is led to believe that lie ...
Sigh! It sucks ...
A woman is a woman's worst nightmare and enemy ! #GoFogure

Of Crushes Of Childhood And Blunders Of Youth !

From mooning over Joel Harlow from one of the Mills and Boons novel to Rahul Mehta based on Joel Harlow, a figment of her imagination ...
Somewhere in that gorge of stepping into being herself...
She was lost between the crushes of childhood and blunders of her youth !
Shyly smiling at Rajesh Karpe's antics in the classroom to giggling at the naughty tricks of Kinshuk Rakshit ...
Somewhere there ...
Swooning over Tanveer Shah from another section ...
And actually really having feelings for Donald Duck ...
That's what she referred to him as , Pratik Sarkar...
Teased by Reena Sinha when they saw him getting off the potty coloured yellow fiat car of his father every morning...
She grew up without actually growing up ...
Till she met Prabhat Tickoo ...
Her shy glances and his boldness...
Taking her pen away ...
Whilst she dabbled in poetry about him...
The ice cream at Breach Candy ...
Dropping her off to college in his scooter ...
The awkward silence in the old lift with shutters ...
Losing him finally to his career in aviation and Mamma's boy syndrome...
Porus getting her chocolates and Siwatch declaring his lovevon rose day with the epithet... See your watch tell the truth before the strongman blows the horn...
Such innocence of the teen years ...
Being pursued by Arun Singh and shying away from men...
Raghu , another one of Mamma's boy...
Manish Bhandari just another mamma's boy in love with her ...
But, she chose the blunder of her youth ...
A regret that punishes her to this day ...
An infidel that ruined her life forever! #GoFigure
She's come a long way since then...
In the 52nd summer of her life ...
She remenisces with a smile looking at the rising Sun in the horizon ...
A lovely story to tell...
Tales of the light ...
Tales of love and loss ...
But beautiful stories full of anecdotes...
Funny and filled with laughter ...
A youth lost ...
A silver sunset gained ! #GoFigure

Just another real story from the past !

On a cold night somewhere in the North of India...
The Phoenix was taking a bath ...
The lights went off...
It was dark in the bathroom...
Phoenix was covered in soap sud top to bottom...
The water in the tap turned ice cold...
Then the water stopped running...
She was gripped in fear ...
She suffered from claustrophobia as it is ...
And, now this ...
Somehow she managed to dry herself ...
Dressed and ...
She came out ...
What does she she ?
Her father in law had switched off the electricity mains and the water mains ...
She asked why...
And her mother in law replied...
Your Dad doesn't pay the bills ...
So make do with what you get !
She was stunned...
This was just one of the incidents of the many that happened...
She tried telling her husband...
But, he was in cahoots with them...
He was having an affair with a woman from another community ....
Under their approved watchful eyes...
She wasn't aware ...
Till very late ...
Very very late ...
The Phoenix reduced to ashes ...
Destroyed by her very own ...
Just for the insatiable lust he had for his carnal desires...
Just another story...
From one of many ...
That bespoke her death ...
And rise from her ashes ! #GoFigure

The Betty Broderick Story...

From start to finish...
Frame to frame...
It's her story ...
The Betty Broderick Story ...
Every sacrifice Betty made ...
Every instance in her life ...
Dan's infidelity...
Dan's betrayal of Betty's trust ...
Dan's ambitions...
Betty's letting go of her own desires ...
Every bit matches with her story ...
Just in another era and decade ...
She sees herself portrayed in the web series ...
She knows it word to word ...
As her own story ...
Her infidel husband ...
Her losing her mind ...
The stressful situations ...
Him implicating her falsely ...
Her run from pillar to post for justice ...
Yet, no justice given ...
She relates to The Betty Broderick Story ! #GoFigure

Prized Possession ! #GoFigure

She clings to him...
As if he might slip away...
She knows the truth...
Yet chooses to ignore...
And, she sticks to him...
Glued in all the photographs...
Proof of her insecurity...
Telltale signs...
She doesn't trust him...
Yet, he's her trophy...
To flaunt around...
Oblivious to the fact...
He plays her downright...
Right under her nose...
He has fun...
And she doesn't know...
For she's content with her prized possession...
As he's happy...
Rolling in her millions...
