What happens when your daughter is getting married? Surely, you are happy but somewhere down, you are deeply nervous too. ‘My daughter’s wedding’, the title poem of this collection delves into the heart of a mother who, in the midst of celebrations, worries about how life will treat her little daughter after she ties the knot. The poem looks at systemic patriarchy that allows no notion of equality even when a woman is educated and financially independent. A number of other poems highlight the conscious and unconscious bias against women and talk about the way patriarchy shapes the many contours of her existence. There are yet other poems that are soaked in nostalgia, colored with sepia-tinted memories, wistfully remembering the times gone by. By turns thoughtful, moving and provocative, the collection is a fascinating potpourri of different themes.
