Wowman

She preferred to sleep longer than usual 

Her cravings were unlimited, her hunger pangs 

To binge eating , more casual…. 

Then abrupt mood swings , to keep a check 

To have only salads, nuts and protein shake …..

Her weakness for  late parties often 

After a hard day’s work, why not? When there were friends, sudden…..

It’s okay to have some vodka and beer 

To live a life where’s nothing much to care…..

Carrying herself like a ‘diva’…… she was stylish,trendy, shopaholic fashionista! 

Some highlighted hair 

Some tattoos on body…. here and there….

Some puffs of extravagant cigarettes 

Really nothing much to regret……

Late nights were routine, 

She knew how to enjoy her post teen!

And……

Then the most memorable day was there 

She got her  soulmate, her dream partner, someone to be around and share 

A conjugal life to boast for…..

Everything was perfect….like before……

Even though married, she kept enjoying her free flying life 

Truly she was a picture of the’corporate boss’ and a ‘privileged wife’!

Those short, long dresses, perfumed and scented, to show off 

Red lip liners, kohl eyes and eyebrows…..

Painted nails and stilettos……..

Her happiness knew no bounds for the life she chose!

And…….

Slowly….. the weather changed quietly 

On that lucky day….. she became a mother of a baby girl 

Life took a turn,Her motherhood started to unfurl ………

It was amazing to hold her little gift of miracle 

To listen to her cooing and crackles…..

Gently some noticeable changes in her

Quick naps, heavy meals, she started to prefer 

No more sleeping longer, no junks to ponder 

Happy  to be healthy…..for the baby 

No more parties late at nights….. 

Though quite often she didn’t feel bright 

Only quick chores….. for her daughter 

Now her child was her only weakness 

Wanted to conquer the world for her 

as she couldn’t care less…

Often forgot to colour her hair , to tie them neat

Lipstick, nail paints, perfumes took back seat 

No more tight fits and no more high heels 

Hard drinks long forgotten, she became cautious on the wheels

A new ‘self’ realisation……

A transformation …….A ‘sea change’…..

Beyond any range……

A big transition from a bee to the mother bee 

Oh woman! You are PERFECT….. You  excel naturally!!!
