We are?..

We love to wake up late, and  lounge comfortably amidst the disheveled blankets.
We love that steaming cup of morning coffee, and the butter biscuits and potato buns that accompany them.
We fret over the most trivial things, like mismatched shades of bags and shoes, or misfit accessories..
We quibble over demigods and heartthrobs, and  vindicate their acts with  fierce tenacity
We go on unimaginably outrageous ''diets'' aka starvation phases, and end up indulging in biriyani and brownie
We haggle to our heart's content, and end up being deceived by the conniving shopkeeper..
We are credulous, foolish and easily beguiled..We think with our hearts , and feel with our brains.
We get confused and stumped by simple predicaments, we bemoan at insignificant losses..
Our mind says ''Who cares?'', but then our heart retorts,'' You do, stupid''..
We surpass  Ingrid Bergman and Audrey Hepburn when it comes to acting and pretense,
We can pull of an effortless veneer of joy, and simulate equanimity with unparalleled  ease..
While our hearts bleed  in anguish and languish in ineffable pain..
We cry and smile at the same time, we celebrate and mourn..
We submit ourselves to adversities and let Him steer our boats..
We  love like there's no beginning and no end, unconditionally, selflessly, unassumingly..
Spite and vengeance never blemishes our soul, and envy is that which we know not..
We are everything and anything feminine, but we do not flaunt our womanhood like diadems..
We honor ourselves, and guard our chastity like precious gems..
Modesty is our adornment, and humility, our ensemble..
We do not destroy one's deen, rather we complete that of our other halves..
We love, and sometimes hate, but we are loyal, and miles away from infidelity..
We laugh, we shed tears, but are never neglectful of  our duties..
We compromise, we sacrifice , we give up ..
All for the sake of others..
We are like any other women..
But that piece of cloth on our heads..
Is what sets us apart..
We aren't angels, we are flawed and imperfect..
But within our imperfection..
lies bountiful beauty...
and so much more, that one would never expect..
