I feel…
I have become a women
When I finally started to control  expenditure
I have become a women
When I finally started trying for a job
I have become a women
When i could bear being away from my parents
I have become a women
When I could somehow stop myself from crying
I have become a women
When I  could stop myself being emotional often
I have become a women
When I’ve been addressed as Madam
I have become a women
When I finally started watching adoor gopalakrishnan’s movies
I have become a women
when i finally could catch a train and reach home alone
I have become a women
When I started advicing others
I have become a women
When i started reading kamala Das’s novels
I have become a women
When I finally started browsing Kerala Matrimony.com
 
Now when I have become a women
Why do I still run around my mother
Complaining about food,water and climate here
Why do I phone her frequently,
Why do I still feel like seeing her and miss her a lot
Why do I still tell her that im trying to control expenditure
But iam not able to…..
When will I become  a self-sustaining person???
 
Sigh..
