Meena Kumari

ff the many names he gave me,

one was of Meena Kumari,

the legendary actress he admired,

not that I knew how to act,

nor was I femme enough to enact,

but he saw in me the ada,

meena kumari carried.

those moments,

must have been of,

admiration,

and a childlike innocence,

for he was born after,

she stopped breathing.

and yet towards the end,

he turned out to be,

no better than Kamal.
