Mehndi in Hand

Mehndi in Hand

Dreams in Mind

A bride moves to an uncharted territory

In search of a home, sweet home.

 

Looks for another person

Who understands and reciprocates

Who accepts her and her family

As of his own

And keeps solemn vow

Of togetherness till heaven

And even seven lives therefrom

 

Marriages are made in heaven

But not all marriages have the bliss of heaven

Some turn to hell

Some turn to a lifetime of silent suffering

Some meet fatal and brutal end

 

There are debates whether marriage

Is still relevant as a social institution

In a world of freedom and liberty

But still life and marriage go on.
