Tropes

Growing up,
Hindi films showed us
Only One trope
Of A frustrated woman

That of an unmarried woman
Jealous of A married woman's happiness

How Sad for an adolescent girl
To believe that is all There is

And to not know
That There are So many other tropes
In real life

Of the girl With A childhood boyfriend
Who envies the freedom to flirt
Of the woman who Never earned money
And envies the freedom to
Buy your own Snacks and cosmetics
Of the 'Happily married' woman
Who would rather Do Anything
But go home to her Marriage

How the times have changed!
