Perfection is a perception. For me perfection does not have
any defined dimension- She has a golden heart, she carries a diamond personality,
she wears wisdom, she smiles just on the perfect line. Her dance moves could
not be more adept, 'Oh laila' how could she have such a face, perfectly contoured
features, she walks like a gypsy, she wakes
up in perfect poise, even in her lowest mood swings she disperses superlative
lingo , her hair stretches in perfect streak at the middle of the night when she
turns the other side, she gets off the crowded bus with her eyes radiating sparkle,
the symmetry of her kohl rimmed liner stands perfectly in cycle, just "1-inch" below her eye balls though there had been a few pushes, kick stick movements with fellow passengers while returning back from office.Her Boss would never look at her with his curved eyebrows, he knew she could move mountains perfectly( clients were just mere mortals)
The home front-It is an epitome of a perfectly piled up living and non living species. She opens the
door, she had tucked the clothes in symmetry perfectly buried at the right hand
corner of the left hand side of the drawer, none had moved a bit from their
lined up position, the books looked at each other from their spacious corridors
inside the book shelf, they had a 2 -inch distance amid themselves, they too
were perfect in their task of maintaining a perfect decorum. The kitchen was
another place- may be it exhibited Godly attributes.
Knock at the door, the kids were home, two little monsters “oops”
two perfectly trained little super kids. They came, they conquered the
cupboard, the clothes still remain at their perfect settings, the kids know exactly
where to find the clothes, the shirt aligned to the right side rests in stoic discipline long after the kids had gone, kids had their meals ‘perfectly’ rejoicing the
mother’s recipe “karela “ “ lauki” singing sweet nothings about the health
benefits of “karela and lauki”.
Buz, huzz, tuzz, reversed gear, blah blah blah,abra ka
dabra... perfection turned upside down, whizzed, sizzed, hush hop, oohlala...I
stand there ....perfectly berserk,
ransacked territory on the upper shelves of my head, just below the eyes had
kohl rimmed eyelashes, black patches running towards the nose, the kurta was
blue, the kurta had been looking for a perfect match but the trouser always
betrayed her spirits, yes they were 'blue'. The perfect blend ;)
The metro ride was as heavenly, the pigs even spoke in a
better pitch, back home, the house was delighted as ever to find its master who lost her way every day just like her clothes ,
they yearned to be in perfect alignment
with colours or even pairs, lost in the rumble, in their crazy delight they
were “perfect”. Books, they too
enjoyed every bit of their romance with playmates, caressing the other
pages, sitting over, hugging, indulging here and there free as a "free soul". This was my house.
I suddenly look at
the mirror, I seek perfection but I smile, I laugh, I scream, I fondle my hair
and there I say " I still am perfect”.
"I love it that way, I make
blunders, I make errors, I scream, I dream, I yell, I shout, I lose, I win, I live,yes I live".
“I am perfect to me “ The mirror yells too "The perfect Woman"
Looks like the entire family is perfect, not just woman!
