FB and Blog-friend Ganesh Balaraman posted this amazing photograph of daybreak in Bangalore, possibly during the recent havoc wrecked by the North East Monsoon .
The photo kind of brings to life the perennial situation for women in India : at the end of the day, a lonely mental fight against all odds....

She stood
her mind overcast
with dread.
Alone,
facing an upward climb
in a once bright
and colorful happy world.
Brave and solitary,
apprehensive
of the
imminent black
surrounding her thoughts,
she looks up
at the cool breeze,
her only ally
in a clouded world.
"Lose not
your hope",
she heard,
"This too shall pass.
Nothing can hide
the warmth
and glow
that defines you..."
And with a powerful nudge
to the
goonda cloud,
the breeze,
went away,
to gossip with the leaves...
her mind overcast
with dread.

Beautiful as always! You never fail to amaze me! Wishing you a lovely weekend.
