CHAIN UP NOT, WOMAN!: A poem by Bindu Unnikrishnan, Mrs Maharashtra 2023 ( Elite category)

Part of What is a Woman?  Series CHAIN UP NOT, WOMAN! By Bindu Unnikrishnan Break free of the invisible chain, Oh woman! you too are born to fly! Look at the strong wings you got, you might as well explore the sky. The tenderness you show, the warmth you exude You deserve the same, and of course, some respite Breathe some, for the laundry can wait, it is your monotonous life that needs the spice. Walk few steps, dance few more, listen to your heart, if it wants some more In this lovely weather, leave that chore, bask in the sunshine which men adore. Let him pack your picnic bag, while you go for a swim, or trek for a while, Let that dinner be a surprise for you, the way you always did for him with a smile.. Chop that hair and style it through, don’t keep it long ’coz he told you to, Wear the colour you always want, without conforming to your clan. It is difficult to be always righteous and true, you can be sometimes vulnerable too. Let the tears flow and make you light, the smile w...

The Experienced Seed by C Swathish

They tell me I should already know the road, though I’ve just laced my shoes for the first time. They laugh when I stumble, asking why I haven’t run a thousand miles yet. I carry nothing but tomorrow in my hands, but tomorrow is too light for their scales. They nod at old stories, wrinkled with years, and close their doors on voices still learning. It’s funny, really— to demand the fruit before planting the seed, to want a song that’s already an echo. I try not to mind, I keep walking, pretending I’ve lived a hundred lives, while I’ve barely begun this one. About the Author  C. Swathish is a published author and award-winning poet from Kerala. He writes about human experiences and society, using everyday moments to explore deeper truths. His work combines simplicity with thoughtfulness, offering readers a clear and reflective look at life and its contradictions

My Tummy Isn't Flat!! | Bindu Unnikrishnan

Article My Tummy Isn't Flat!! by Bindu Unnikrishnan "Unapologetically true!" Such was my response to an insensitive comment from a shallow, self-centered person. In fact, it wasn't just one person but a herd of self-obsessed women who undermine others, body shame them, and revel inside a bubble inflated by their egos and false self-images of perfection. Ironically, they are far from perfect. Their so-called perfection comes at a steep price. Some even remain childless just to keep their bodies unaffected by pregnancy, striving to maintain a flat tummy as if it were the ultimate sign of health. Just the other day, I praised a lady in her 50s. She was exuberant, a happy soul who wore a skirt and top with pride, showing off her outfit like a precious gift. And indeed, it was—a gift from her daughter-in-law. Her joy was contagious, her charm radiant. I complimented her generously, every word sincere. She was resplendent in that attire, her inner beauty shining through. Th...

Some Dark and Some Bright By Bindu Unnikrishnan

“When does the light appear the brightest?” asked Bhavna, the counselor and therapist at the Brightman Mental Health Center, to Shirin during her second session that month. November had always been a depressing month for Shirin, as if gray clouds covered her home from all sides, suffocating her. The dense clouds engulfed her apartment so completely that no light could penetrate. The air felt thin, and Shirin always found it hard to breathe. Her asthma worsened every November—it was a post-Diwali syndrome. Shirin took a deep breath and answered, “I’m not sure. What do you mean?” “It’s the darkness. Yes, that’s what it takes to see the light at its brightest—if you understand what I mean!” Shirin had been a regular patient of Bhavna. Bhavna knew exactly what Shirin needed from time to time—words of assurance, measured precisely like doses of medicine. Shirin had been diagnosed with clinical depression, mood swings, and anxiety issues. The diagnosis wasn’t new; she had suffered from anxi...

Ice Petals | A Poem by Ayana Kuttampalli

As I pin my words down To those pages I never thought to open, The lace draped windows of my room Welcomes in the cold wind; Unbidden to my heart. Flipping through some unwanted sheets Dredging those indelible memories I kept concealed. My aching heart lets out a cry Even the tears glaciate meanwhile the wind still blustering, Echoes of bygone promises still muttering. Skipping the unwritten chapters; My vision lands on the flower of love. Lost like me in the twisted lanes of memories Strikes as if it has stopped ageing The red petals are no more glazing A part of my kernel is iced and so the corolla It hasn't died and so haven't I. Surviving without hope is worse than dying! Making me realize the contrary of 'never' is a beautiful lie. About the Author  Ayana or in Latin we say 'Beautiful Flower' is a nature lover and an ardent admirer of human thoughts and emotions. Her poetic style is as unique as every existing star in the Universe. She believes embracing ev...

My Frozen Beauty By Bindu Unnikrishnan | Short Story

I kicked off my boots, my wet socks clinging to my frozen feet. The fireplace was dark and cold. Frantically, I searched for matches to ignite a fire but found none. Shivering, I paced the room, avoiding the sight of what lay before me: a transport coffin. Inside, the frozen body of my beloved wife, Mukta, lay at rest. Her still, stone-like face revealed no expressions, just as it always had. I could never read her mind or decipher the emotions behind that stoic exterior. Even when her eyes welled with tears, I was often left bewildered by her true feelings. Yet, my love for her was boundless. Perhaps I failed to express it in the way she needed to hear. We both struggled to convey our deepest fears and desires. Despite this, I cared for her deeply and longed to protect her. She was born to soar, constantly seeking new hobbies and rugged terrains, each exploration a quest for extraordinary feelings. I could never understand her wild spirit. At times, she would scream, and I could only ...
