Shackles

Father and Family

"I growing up
I loving amma and appa
I hitting my anna
I playing hopscotch"

The girl looks simple but is very smart
She can count numbers and lovely sanskrit words in her brother's note
She was joyful girl
Until her aunt destroys with her ploys and manners

"She grew up very well!
What is wrong in giving her to my brother
Just a 20 does'nt matter like pity well
Now is the age for her and my brother"

"I think you're right!"
Says her father to her aunt
What do you think sister are you alright!"
Says to her mother

Her mother had a confusion
Is this right for this generation?
Questions arise like none could have
Can she have time!She has to learn many ways one's like should have?
Can she work like I could do?
Am I doing the same mistake my mother had to do?

She was all wrong
Her father would bang
Not to my brother
She always hangs

"She is so tiny
She is my pie
She is my world
When I had no one I know."

She couldn't think more
She was not ready for anything
"Perhaps she should go to gurukul too"she insisted to her father
Father slaps and there is a big bang

My girl tiny girl
My vakula My abarana
She thought to herself.
I can't leave my special ornament
I can't leave my mouthful ornament
Which is why she is Vakulabharanam.

She had many choices
She had to something
She can't see her mother cry
She can't leave her mother die

All paths opened
All paths locked
Don't know what to do
Gurukul is her choice

Her only thought was greatness
She only had to work with her smartness
She can't leave her enjoyment
What to do what to do.

Nani,Nana,Dadi,Dada
All are up to the proposal
One one no one asked her
She is not coming
She is not coming!

No one listens to her
Everybody is forcing her
Her brother being helpless
Her mother being hopeless

Now she had no choice
When her mother and family are at stake
Her father lost many
Giving her daughter clears many

Now what would she do
No one knows
Until she finds a way out
To balance her father and family
