In the complicated world, a simple substitute- "Freedom"
Mukta Srivastava *
Freedom not only means the chance to fly
It's a feeling of being free from all bounds when we touch the sky
Freedom not only means choosing the favorite attire
It means lot more than becoming free from these social wires
Freedom not only means choosing one's own partner
It also means living life thereafter with still taking decision on one's own matter
Freedom not only means choosing Chinese among 100 Thai foods
It also means enjoying oneself in the male chauvinist society, a dignified womanhood
Freedom not only means being free from anarchy
But it really means abolition of unjustified hierarchy
Freedom not only means late night parties
But it too implies understanding one's own duties
Freedom not only means being free from chains
It means staying connected with people and emotions same as land being so far from sky remains connected by rain...
