"I want to be a princess!"
An fairytale lover dreaming of the grand waltz across the checkered ballroom floor. Twirling and twisting with a gentle curtsy dip. Wearing pretty pretty gowns.
Adorned in embellished jewels... Wait no!... I would just like a simple tiara. Nothing too extravagant. 'Let's see... Aha!'
A simple glistening bracelet charm pinched in with a simple hair clip, hiding my scar and my fears... 'All done :)'
Where was I ? Oh yes!
I don't want to be a simple doe eyes princess though. People often mistake fairytale lovers to be deluded in their romantic haze. Dreaming about the true love's kiss.
But that's not me.
No.
Because in this life, true love is a rare myth. A beautiful dream only a lucky few survive through.
So why do I want to be a princess and not any thing else ? Because a girl can dream of pretty dresses but not of the prince.
Just like Cinderella.
The most misjudged character in the whole Disney lineup. Koi use samajhta hi nahi. Aise kya dekhre ho ?
Haww! You don't believe me ?
Come with me, I'll show you. Promise to keep it a secret.
*clears throat and gestures in her imagination*
"Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the kindest of them all ?"
Mirror (affectionate): Why ofcourse! It's you my dear. Meri pyaari princess *pats her head*
Akshara (irritated): *whispers* Bade papa apko mera naam nahi bolna hai! Mai princesses ki baat karri. Please stick to the script. *clears throat*
*Aarohi shaking her head in the background*
Sorry! I think my mirrors a bit broken. Let me try again.
*gestures again*
"Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the kindest of them all ?"
Mirror (booming): Why It's Cinderella ofcourse! The tales of her kindness ranges far and wide.
Akshara (excited): Can you please share some, please ?
