My Choice!

My Body...My Mind...My Choice

To wear the clothes I like even as my spirit roams naked.

My Choice…

To be a size Zero or a size 15

They don't have a size for my spirit and never will.

To use cotton and silk to trap my soul is to believe you can halt the expansion of the universe

Or capture sunlight in the palm of your hand

Your Mind is caged, let it free

My body is not, let it be

My choice…

To marry or not to marry

To have sex before marriage, to have sex outside of marriage

To not have sex

My choice…

To love temporarily or to lust forever

My Choice…

To love a man or a woman or both

Remember ‘You’ are my choice

I am not your privilege

The Bindi on my forehead, the ring on my finger

Adding your surname to mine...they are just ornaments.

They can be replaced.

My love for you can not

So treasure that!

My choice…

to come home when I want.

Don't be upset when I come home at 4 am.

Don't be fooled if I come home at 6 pm

My Choice…

To have your baby or not.

To pick you from 7 billion choices or not

So don't get cocky

My pleasure might be your pain.

My songs your noise

My order your anarchy

Your sins, my virtues

My choices are like my finger prints they make me unique.

I am the tree of the forest; I am the snowflake of the snowfall

You are the snowflake!

Wake up! Get out of the shit storm

I choose to empathize. Or to be indifferent

I choose to be different.

I am the universe...infinite in every direction!

This is my choice!

This video has nothing to do with killing a man's pride.
All that has been verbalized in this video has been acted upon since times unknown, but one woman's graceful voice, her elegant demeanor, her composed expressions and her welled up eyes in the last shot...create a stir amongst people who have less or no idea what it is to be touched and what it means to go through depression due to hollowness created by another. This is not completely from woman to a man. This is from a woman to the society, which includes men and women, who can never figure out what it takes to be alive, even when there are several things in this world that you can not connect to!


Love and Respect to all the team members of Vogue!

Nirupama
