The poem created by me is based on a haunting and powerful image by Han van Meegeren.
My moral ingress began with His hands on my forehead. A loveless young woman, in the custody of a natural passion, fleeing from the one ordained as my keeper to the one with the invisible halo.
Forbidden- the lashes and stones in my name. Reassuring- the voice of the one who walks among mortals. Now, Fates don’t intervene and the reasoned audience with our Messiah in flesh keeps me safe.

Let me say this odyssey of comeuppance should be my own birthright and other kith and kin of my sex must administer me clemency, common sense and fair judgement.
Drawing lines, a woman’s morality, even letting the slip of a word with another man without her conjugal chaperone in attendance, is like some divine judgement, jarring, spineless. The judgement from other men turning Madonna into a fallen harlot.
So in the name of the one who walks amongst us, The messianic one, draw me to the lot of my kindred’s breasts and let them decide my course when your congregation leaves town and the lashes and stones return, to exile me.
I launch myself, with a searing, soaring passion for all domains verging on the writerly and creative with a beginner's appetite here and that's how I believe in adding meaning to each day. A lucky mascot of literature, cinema and culture, I come riding on spirited wings from the emblematic city of Lucknow where all those reside and thrive. My breeding ground and my mindscape all are committed to these three life forces. Cinema. Culture. Literature. But the biggest and all consuming parent to these is life that breeds them . There is the discovery that comes from expressing yourself, clear eyed and even mystical, when you come from a city like this. I am here to expand my worldviews, share my earliest inspirations and evolutions and go with the flow through the most accessible outlet there is : writing. Conventionally, my biography is that of a degree holder in English literature encompassing Undergraduate, Postgraduate and M Phil years and every possible experience of learning finer points of knowledge . I have already taken the plunge of creating a solid base for my works by publishing my poems and articles on the renowned worldwide community/ writing sanctuary Wattpad since 2015, a platform which is a miracle for anyone pursuing so much as a flash of wordplay and thoughts to spare. It has redefined my life and allows me to go strong. You can read my works there under the username MadMenWearingFedora / Prithvijeet. That is the springboard that catapulted me to a confident vocational revival. So here I am. Both originality and novelty are the key words to define this eternal student of life. So with the tip of the pen blessing my head and a new vigor, I welcome you all to my realm. AN AWADH BOY'S PANORAMA beckons.
