When I said women are stronger than men
Everyone started asking when?
I said some women have their names for centuries
Then one said they only know to pick blueberries.
When I said about J.K Rowling
Everyone started brawling.
When I talked about Emma whatson
They got confusion.
I said about Kalpana chawla
They said hola
I was confused.
When I said mother is the best
They said she is the queen of her nest.
I understood no one can be like a Mother
I am a girl whom everyone think low,
But oh no, oh no I am not low.
I too can do everything like boys,
From reading and writing to making noise.
I can become a great dancer and do ooh la la,
I can be an astronaut just like Kalpana Chawla!
Doesn’t matter whether I speak Bengali or Hindi,
I can become a famous prime minister like Indira Gandhi.
Equality between boys and girls is the biggest matter,
You don’t have any right to make our dreams shatter!
Grown-ups, please treat us equal,
When given a chance, we can do things wonderful and unusual.
PORTALS SUPER GIRL.
With portals my super power is on increase,
The bullies now easily I can tease,
All evil till the end I can freeze.
Help all the oppressed,have a good square,
Slow down the speedy world for care,
Low stressed,more relaxed all be there.
Available I'm always for woman upliftment,
With Kalpana Chawla in space I make amendment,
Meet Maya Angelou in her apartment.
Newton,please,please, invent a law of joy,
Hey Goblin,you've done enough crime,O boy,
Witches, your characteristics will make you shy.
Phew!! I fly,take children to Charlie"s chocolate factory for ride,
Assist all chores for people to get holy time with pride,
Short is life,goodwill after all will eternally glide.
P.S- Portals is a magic entrance from where you can go anywhere very fast.
The movie X MEN -Days of the future past, is about portals.
Kalpana Chawla-1st Indian woman to go on the moon.

NEW GANGA
[Written after the sad demise of Kalpana Chawla & her 6
co-astronauts in a space crash on Feb 1,2003]
The sky is the limit...
Nay, I must travel beyond ;
My name is Kalpana ,
I'm the sprite of imagination.
With the boom of Columbia
Myself kindled to glow like a star
Unfortunately you search me
In Texas debris.
No bones, No blood, No cells
No sign of corporeal remnants
Why do you mourn and condole
When I'm away from funeral pyres??
Amidst the stars, planets and satellites
I live in the breath
Of a New Born Bear*
In the sky stretching from
Karnal*** to Florida.
Fetch if you can
I must descend like the Ganges;**
I would be your New Ganga.
*Refers to great bear constellation
**Refers to the holy river.There is a religious belief in India River Ganga was brought
from heaven by Bhagirathi . River Ganga is regarded as Goddess .
***Refers to birth place of kALPANA in India
