To see yor face
You took my hand and drew me to your side, made me sit on a high seat before all men, till i became timid, unable to stir and walk on my own way; doubting and debating at every step lest i should tread upon any thorn of their disfavour.
I am freed at last!
The blow has come, the drum of insult sounded, my seat is laid low in the dust.
My paths are open before me.
My wings are full of desire of the sky.
I go to join the shooting stars of midnight, to plunge into the profound shadow.
In destperate joy I run upon the dusty path of the despised; i draw near to your final welcome.
The child finds its mother when it leaves her womb.
When i'm parted from you, thrown out of your household,
I am free to see your face.
-From the works of Rabindranath Tagore

DONT
Don’t be too loud. Don’t talk to the boys, they are crazy. Don’t be too flamboyant. Don’t be your true self. Don’t be friendly with everyone, people will take advantage of you. Wear proper clothes. Cover every bit of your body. Don’t let any skin show!
Do you enough Kurtis? Do you need more salwar suits? Walk properly. Don’t be over- confidant. Don’t roam around alone in the city! Take someone with you. Ask any girl. Don’t trust the boys. Decent Girls always wear salwar suits. Don’t let your Bra strap show! Hide it! Come back right before 9.30 pm. Not a minute later!
Its 9.31 pm….look at the clock! How Dare you come late! Talk to the warden now. Don’t wear skirts. It excites the Boys, bare legs. Don’t ask the shopkeeper for whisper ultra in a loud voice, always asked in a hushed voice! Wait for the shopkeeper to wrap the packet in a newspaper and then in a black polythene bag, so that no one can see what you are buying! Don’t sit on Bikes, roads are very unsafe. Don’t lend money to other people. They wont give it back. Don’t talk to much to anyone. Don’t let people convince you to do anything. Don’t listen to those roadside commentaries. Don’t Drink, Girls shouldn’t Drink or Smoke. It doesn’t look good. Don’t be Rude. Be Tactful. Don’t be trusting of anyone. Don’t talk back to anyone; they’ll only be provoked more. Don’t show your feelings. Be Professional.
DON’T BE!
