What Will They Think?

Yes, we always do……

If I wear these shoes - too loud, too pink?
Oh, heavens above, what will they think?
If I tie my hair in a messy bun,
Will Fashion Police arrive and run?

If I carry this bag - not branded, you see -
Will society issue a notice to me?
“Madam, your handbag lacks pedigree!
Kindly upgrade your identity.”

If I dine where the napkins aren’t folded in swans,
And no one pronounces the “r” in croissants,
Will whispers rise with the garlic naan -
“She’s fallen, dear… completely gone!”

If I post no filter, no pout, no pose,
Just my own face with a normal nose -
Will Aunties faint and cousins propose
A workshop on “How to Impress Your Foes”?

We tiptoe through life on eggshell tiles,
Curating our laughs and editing smiles,
Keeping up with imaginary files
Of Joneses living in curated aisles.

But here’s the twist - the grand reveal:
They’re all as nervous, just as unreal.
Worried their curtain shade isn’t teal,
Or if their laughter sounds “too real.”

So, wear the pink. Take the bag.
Order extra fries - no guilt-tag.
Be gloriously odd, delightfully mad,
Because being yourself? Best trend we’ve had.

Let them think. Let them blink.
Let them sip their overbrewed drink.
While you — finally free — in colors you choose,
Lose the fear… and win your shoes.

If Biryani is what you want – eat it to your hearts content! Stop looking over your shoulder at the wieght watch police, your choice, your soul food.
Real or Fake??
Wandering isn’t being lost.
Doing what we like isn’t be abnormal.
Being comfortable in your skin isn’t being snooty.
Real is the new the cool!
