Crisscrossing the lanes of
the joyous city
sampling phuchkas by dozens,
marvelling at the bindi Patta
being sold for less than a rupee,
Sporting the shankha and pola,
eyeliner on my upper eyelids,
I went to look for a perfect
Tangail cotton saree
that would transform me
in to a Durga -
alluring, beautiful
and truly valiant
to slay the demons,
always full of mischief
lurking deep within me.
