Woman 2 - Shalini Stands Straight And Tall Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon

Woman 2 - Shalini Stands Straight And Tall

Rating: 5.0


Shalini stands with confidence like Delhi's Kutub Minar,
She walks firmly with heel power,
She talks passionately loud and clear,
She holds her head high with no veil or cover!

Shalini is an Indian city woman walking straight and tall,
She is determined to move forward without a fall,
She is ready to work hard and to take a call,
She has her will to dress and adorn like a doll!

Multi-tasking has become a way of her busy life,
Many errands, yet, a loving daughter and a plucky wife,
Managing her office and staff with an efficient drive,
Multi-personality, cleverly avoiding many a strife!

Never underestimate Shalini's might,
Never give her chance to hit back or strike,
Never enter into an argument or give her a mike,
For she would blast like a nuclear ‘Shakti' burning bright!
