Perception

Perception

And if you think it's all about

Having a sweet tooth;

Rossogolla, sandesh, nalen gur

Then scratch the epidermis,

Dig deeper beyond the subcutaneous;

Your perception will change,

As you peel off many layers,

That goes to make up the persona,

Of the Bengali woman.


Don't ever be mislead by

Her quiet demeanour;

If push comes to shove,

Can raise quite a rukus,

Shattering the myths,

Held against her.


Don't be mislead by

Her looks 'Plain Jane';

For she downplays her assets,

Has no pretensions.

Need be, can put others to shade

With her classy tastes.


Don't be mislead by

Her lack of participation,

Can bring down the house,

When put to the test.

Her confidence in self,

Cannot be shaken.


Her white red bordered saree,

Red bindi, white and red bangles,

Red sindur shining in her parting;

Is just not all about being a married woman,

But also one who can hold her own,

In the company of men.


And if your perception

Still remains unchanged;

Crawl under the skin

Of a Bengali woman;

You'll find her roots

Are deeply embedded,

To the bedrock of

Her Indianness!
