They gave you a name tag, "INDEPENDENT", But aren't you more like what "IN--DEPENDENT" is, They gave you the tag, "#REAL", But are you what "RE-AL" is, They call you "STRONG", They call you "DIVINE ", They call you "BOLD", They name you as "SHRINES", They call you "A BETTER HOME", They say that you are given all rights, All rights parallel to the moustached guys, "MEN", But are you strong enough to take a stand? To go out there alone and fight, Fight with a weaker body as they say, You know we are categorized right away from our birth, To rest in arms of parents and then a "Better" Man. Where are we making the world depend upon us except for "PROCREATION"? Where are we taking the stand for a larger action? Aren't we being the ones calling us "KALI'S and DURGA's or say NARAYANI's"? Aren't we the same to let us being torme...

SHE (AGAIN). She can be soothing as honey, Piercing as a dagger, The society treats her like a machine, Machine with breasts and vagina, A machine to please the humans called "MEN". I ain't talking about the men who worship Durga, But those who lust over the hidden nipples of that clay sculpture. They think it's their signature on us, They treat us to get their semen out, And once those eleven minutes are over between the legs, They retreat, Retreat from the trillion promises they did. One batch treats us like the escorts for their crave, The other class treats us with the eyes of disgust. Even if you are a virgin, You are impure, They say, " You talk to boys, Sit with them? " "Oh ! Such a whore." You see these marks on my body, Yes they can hurt you, Your biological self, But how did you forget the trans soul you have, Who's fighting on your behalf ? You are the nectar once taken, in delusion, You are the axe that ca...

THE MANNEQUIN (I). Though at times I want to dress in green, But as my built says, Obedient is what I have always been, And I am known as the Mannequin. I am the one who observes you all bit by bit, You come to our home, And by silence is how I greet. I see faces and faces all day long, Some tired,some exhausted, Some happy and some in gong. Every day, every hour,  and every minute the faces change, They flashed and went and flashed and went. But once by a glimpse, I remained startled for a moment, The feeling emerged in me, Felt like my biggest achievement, It was a face unknown, With sharp noticeable features, He went to the side departments to get the purple covers. Though always the faces came, went and altered, This was the time when just one face mattered, I so wanted him to enter the department of clothes, Where I was standing eagerly waiting, And this one thought of not being able to see him again kept me bothered. When my tickling sensati...

YOU! You know what is it, You know how is it, You know how that works, You know how it goes. You know it already! He has set it in you, The ability to know. You are aware, Better don't pretend. You know they are going to judge, The world is a stage where judges always may not be even, Some mean, some gross, Some exact and some overboard. But you know that this world is diverse and are diverse the thoughts and talks, So let them say, But leave no space for you to be provoked. You laugh, You laugh at yourself and there it goes minimized in others, You play around with self and you leave them with zero gap to dump you out. You criticize you, And you leave them the thinnest strand of talk to find, Then you may see the pleasure is actually divine, Crushing without crusher, Firing without bullets, Cutting without knife, But still there is pain. WORDS! They are stabs of scars irremovable. They are marks of the devasted land they leave. If they say, Do...

Some days I feel the touch of this gusty waves of wind on my face, It at times brings me my childhood stories of playing hopscotch and the biased running race, Where I used to win all the time as I was playing alone. This flutter sometimes brings me the scent of you, The scent of my dreams, The scents of the deserts and the seas. It reminds me, I have oceans to cross and mirages to tackle in balls of sand. I look at it. I let this whirl touch me, I feel you every second as you give me force to breathe, You have always wafted by my side, Danced along my joys and have brought in songs to my tears, You have wiped them off to blow when I had fears. I have that vintage connect to you, You make me nostalgic of some things I have never have had. I feel in you the glee of making others jovial. I feel in you the fear of being fierce at times. I feel in you strings that tickle my heart, I feel in you the grief you have of when someone is hurt. I let you touch my face, Or ...

I love you not because you are pretty, But because you are short. I love you not because you are demanded, But because my heart throbs when I am with you. I love you not because you are lonely, But because you add on to my being alive. I love you not because you like Bollywood movies, But because you are the tune I feel like humming all the time. I love you not because I am striving to get love, But because you shine like morning in my weeping nights. I love you not because the clock fleets for ageing, But because you are the time I want to freeze in. I love you not because you are the topper of the class, But because you make doltish acts while walking. I love you not because you like lighted chandeliers, But because you can be the moonlight for the veiled room. I love you not because you are curvy to every angle, But because you are the breath I feel freshened when taken. I love you not because you are the daughter of some merchant or man of power, But ...

Just a mist of water, And a fog of snow.  Just a calm of fire, And a dust of crystal. Just a flow of rocks, And a pause of time. Just a spark of simple, And a simple sparkle. Just a way of trillions, And a footstep of none. Just a laugh of dumb, And a numb of chatter. Just a piece of moon, And a whole of half. Just a day of one, And a show of lights. Just a hush of wind, And a blow of earth. Just an Illusion. ~Akankshya Das. 🌸

What good does this crimson do? When this heart lacks to feel. What beauty does this odour fill in? When this ticker is full of void. The thorns now grin bigger and bigger, Each time the eyes see them they get tingled and prickled. Each time the void decides to load up, The vines set already, Pull the sinker for the world to shrink out of the bosom. Now the ticker is set on mode fearsome, Fear of being itchy to the muscles and bones, Fear of entering to humanly zones, The biggest fear to face the faces of these demonic clones. Even if now the crimson melts down to blood, Or hounds my void fierce, Won't affect it any, As it is already blocked. Blocked by stagnant rotten emotions, Duelling with constant betrayal rotations, Darker than night that place has become, Blocked by scattered pieces of trust and devotion. Ointments can never make this nice, And now, words won't suffice. A broken flower is always a twig which is crushed, Fo...

There is always A story behind The Story, There is always A painting behind The Painting, There is always A song behind The Song, There is always A tale behind The Tale, There is always A wish behind The Wish, There is always A wound behind The Wound, There is always A pain behind The Pain, There is always An eye behind The Eye, There is always A hope behind The Hope, There is always A lyrics behind The Lyrics, There is always A solitude behind The Solitude, There is always A silence behind The Silence, There is always A you behind The You. There is always A star behind The Star.  *All love and one* ~Akankshya Das (Scribbler)! 🌸

*YES WE BLEED* ~Akankshya Das. ⛑ Dear Periods, I know not how to thank you more, Thank you for entering my bag of bones. The moment you came to me, I knew I was someday a mother to be. Just like my mother had your gift as my sister and I, And her mother having her, Then a legacy going by. Yes, you are precious! Every woman -- the most defined feature of the universe, has your touch, While growing up It's like a chain - Goes on and on, Though gives pain, Is yet a bliss to entertain. I do bleed, And someday my daughter will, That's what our body does. Trust me, there's no need of making it a fuss or to whisper, It's a thing where you should be pampered. People, call it unnamed in public, Taboos you know! With taboos come myths unpleasant, Some, not to sleep on bed, Some not to touch the loaf of bread, Some not to touch the God under the shade. Some not to touch the pickle jars, To have it not rotten and by keeping it hidden, To prevent it ...

From the moment I knew that I was a girl, I realized my life not being easy at all. I knew there will be cuts, I knew there will be fights, Fights to struggle and survive, Fights to stand for the rights. I knew my body would have flaws, I knew my body would be craved for, I knew I would bleed each month with pain, I knew I would have a soft heart to be strained. I knew that I would be pleased with ease and honesty, I knew that I would have to be faithful towards family study. I knew that there will be a boundary around, I knew I would have to work double the ass to make self proud. I knew I would be judged by others' airy words, I knew people will influence me to like guys who are "studs". I knew that my opinion would matter a little less, But none of you know that this body is my bless. A bless of beautiful smile  A bless of strength, A bless of fortune, A bless of prosperity, A bless for giving life, A bless for happiness soon, An epitome of...

People say, "Silence is Golden", But I now choose the silver, the Speech. Lao Tzu quotes, "Silence is a source of great strength", But now I choose it to break, Break apart -- away and fade. Kept I Silence hugged to my breast, But away it kept taking my breath. Said Pythagoras once, " A fool is known by his speech and wise man by silence ", Take me to be a fool then, Because silence for me was slow poison, Silence for me was internal destruction. There was a time when there was brief Silence -- inside out, It was mind that was numb, And my emotions frozen. It was always quiet and chained, Now it screams to be free from lumps, Wants to be flying even if it's turning to silver from golden, the value. " When a man goes silent on his ways and plans, you must ponder ", they say. But this quietness now makes me feel like I have been self betrayed, By ME! "Keep shush!  No one must hear you", said my silence. But into a ...

Definition of Beauty? What is the definition of "B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L"?👼 People say "She is beautiful "! How is that judged? How is that declared? By the masks of make up or the layers of fake skin? By the traces of fairness and being fair? By the perks of soft touch and baby soft skin? Or by the length of the outfit and skin seen? How is "B-E-A-U-T-Y" even marked? By the "Fair N Lovely" company? By the "Hide-In Wrinkles" cream? Or by the "Treat your Skin" surgeries? When is "P-R-E-T-T-Y" a compliment? When you wear the most wonder OOTD? When you have zillions of mass behind you? When you have people flaunting their SM sites with your snaps? Or is it made! By the number of faces that smiled and still smile because of you? Is it complimented by the pimples that make your face even cuter? Or the black heads that make you differently attractive? Or is it "IN-BORN"! Flaws that made the ...

Half Gentlemen Not Beasts. We are dressed in a long coat and a noble pointed hat so tall, Boots some 48$ and With every branded outfits possible. Who are we? We are the half gentlemen not beasts. We belong to those respected societies, Where masks are our true identity. We have our own grooves, We are smooth in all our shitty crimes, But,  But tagging us demons? Are you? You bloody rascals! Knock off!  Because we are half gentlemen not beasts. We have all the civil rights, We have all the equality of opportunity, It is just our psyche that doesn't stop our hands, Hands from snatching some dupattas from her shoulder, From having her feel our nasty touch which she always denied. But, But we are half gentlemen not beasts. We can beat her, We can yell! We can rape, We can pound!  We can ask her to put her self esteem away aloof aside, We can buy her for hours to quench our thirst  But, but you can't punish us, We are respectable, Because...

Being a girl? How easy is it? Being a boy? How busy is it? Being a child? How playful is it? Being a woman? How fierce is it? Being a man? How valiant is it? Being someone? How chameleonic is it? Bitching about others? How pathetic is it? Who replies that "HOW"? Who answers that "WHY & WHY NOT"? Who gives us the "right" to talk about the "rights" we keep babbling about? Who are we judging when the world is a stage and every body is judged while playing there roles! Who are we? To puke something insanely bad on others, When we can't talk flowers! Who are we? To call someone *Fat, Thin, Skinny, Wheel, Whore, Slut, Bitch, Stripper, Streamer, Busted, Boobed, Crunched, Hottie, Chick, Satisfying, Sugary, Spicy and Salty*! So one to name that space isn't SUFFICE. Who are we? To name them again when their parents have already named them on their 21st day. Who are we? To criticize someone with a Murphy Monkey Or s...
