I AM COMPLETE!

I am complete! 

I am complete all by myself.

I need not any 

man nor any woman 

to make me feel complete !

I am complete all by myself.

I don't need that "Fair and Lovely" nor 

do I need that "Fair & Handsome",

to get a fairer tone.

No, a skin tone 

can't decide my fate.

It can't all of a sudden boost me up and land me a job.

But some self esteem definitely can.

I require not to attend 

any zumba sessions 

nor any gym or health clubs 

to get in "shape".

Nor do I require 

a "diet control" 

or some extra carbs 

to gain some extra pounds.

I am happy with my 

extra plate of biryani.

No, I don't need to lift those weights, 

all I need is some extra mayo in my momos.

I don't hesitate 

to wear "pink" in public.

Nor do I hesitate

to dress like "a man"

I don't hesitate to roll up my sleeves in public and 

nor do I hesitate 

to hold my lady's purse.

I need no approval 

from this broken society 

where a women's character is questioned 

when she comes back late.

And a man 

dropping her home 

is just another "slave". I need not a man

to pay my bills.

Nor do I need any woman 

to cook my meal.

I am complete all by myself 

and need none 

to depend on.

I need not any approval 

for what out fit I wear.

I don't become your "bhabiji" or "behenji" 

if I wear a saree or a salwar.

I don't become a "babumoshai" 

when I 

wear a kurta and payjama.

I don't require a miniskirt 

to impress you,

nor do I need a double knot and a western suit.

Oh no! 

I don't need that Raymond,

to become a complete man.

And nor do I need that 

saree or lehenga 

to be the perfect bride.

I am what I am.

Complete .....

All by myself !!
