The Heritage of being a woman
Mukta Srivastava *
From the throne of Mughal Empire she traversed through the time
Acquired titles of queen in medieval era and of president in the time line....
She climbed the highest mountain range
Played role of daughter, mother, and wife & with every role the responsibilities changed...
She captured the market as CEO
She maintained her persona like a Leo...
When needed she even collected scraps from road
And also as an IPS joined the government board...
She cried in happiness & smiled in sorrow
Hardships were the only thing that she borrowed...
From Pantaloons Femina to Miss Universe
From Radio Jockey to some unknown nurse...
From Domestic driver for her kids to astronaut in space
There is no place left untouched by her grace...
She deserved appreciation not just on 8th of March
But every passing day that the scorching sun would cast...
