Ek Aur Tapasya

There are people who are born nice and sober,

But I am not one of those.

It is a dreaded dark night,

I’m sitting outside my house.

Oh sorry! It’s not my house, no, no, not at all.

We, I mean we women, are caretakers.

Not watchdogs, we are just housekeepers.

TAPASYA too is a woman like many of us

Who took full care of the house, every dweller of the house.

Even then, today she is thrown out of her house like garbage.
