De-Morale...

Gotcha moments...
Laced with multi-eurekas
Compoted in sugary sweetness 
Of the slog
That part of the stretch,
When one wants to give up;
But doesnt want to let go...
Of saying hello to the highs!!!
Hi's to the lows....
Of expecting and excepting
Of accepting and aspecting
The norms of a cultured 'Kumari'
Adding to the teachings
Of a well trained 'Bahu'
Of the urban household
Shunning the daily saga
Singing the independent raga
Of liberated adultery
Cross cultural biases
Multi lingual semi bred 'Sahibs'
And well endowed masters
Trying to keep...
Their keeps 
&
Their missuses
In place.... 
(where they belong according to them.....)
Either boosting their ego
Or
Seeding their breed respectively...
One managing their man-ness
Other their Social-ness
Appreciated
By pityful encouragement
Of the 'Bakshises' in kind 
Some in cash...
A few verbal praises here n there....
Taming the beast 
Controlling the chauvinism
Ruining the myriad of hues
Left in the corpse of sunshine
With fragments.....
Of commitments, attachments, infidelity, empty nests and faith....

Intertwined in the syrup of a mirage called home sweet home....
She is a woman...
Will it ever dawn upon us???
