Dr Rita Malhotra Honoured

Dr Rita Malhotra, poet delegate from Delhi,  was honoured by The World Congress of Poets, 2019 with their honorary Diploma, in recognition of her noble quest for women's equality and dignity through poetry. 

Leela is sixteen

a year limps by in nano steps

as leela the widow

remains a prisoner

in the messy, confined core

of everyday struggle

carrying the burden

of invaded virginity

and ostracization,

leela the widow turns 16 today

in a faded white attire

the customary tears

dried up long ago

when destiny deceived

dazed emotions lost colour

through sinking sensations

on the painfully pious bridal night

when her glass-shattering shrieks

broke the consciousness

of the unity of her being

when oozing red spread its

slow tentacles to engulf

the fragments

of kaleidoscopic glass bangles

her dream-bangles

Leela the widow turned 16 today

As the candle of life

Burns at both ends

Leela continues to remain

The distorted face of tragedy

her silence has no secrets

monsoons do not sing

 broken stories pile up

into heaps

of abuse and abandon

as leela the widow turns 16 today
