I were a princess. Not wearing gaudy gowns or carrying a wand in hand but dressed in colourful lehnga-choli and chunri, adorned with churis and jhumkas.... (sounds pretty much... duhh... right?) Actually this is a phase of life that I am going through. I am suffering from a "feeling-like-and-wannabe-princess" complex....
Reasons are countless viz. my rajasthan trip, after effects of its dreams and not to forget the just seen movie Jodha Akbar. Ok, yes, I am being a kid, dreaming bollywoodish but then comeon afterall who will backoff if one is asked to be a king or a queen? It's always fascinating. Just that these whishes have faded away amidst our peer-pressured-pragmatisms.
The magnanimity of the quilas, beautiful architectures, lots of jwelleries, colourful festivals, praises and hails, extravagant leisures and tons of pride.... what else can anyone dream about.
Viewing it from a different angle - King, authoritarian rule, armed forces, zeal of conquering and capturing, politics, wars. But if we take a sneak peek into our very own "today", won't we find the same things with just names changed - ministers, exploited citizens, nuclear threats, "greed" of power, warfares. Only thing that changed is the authoritarian rule. Now it is called DEMOCRACY. (omg! I really feel like laughing). Authoritarian rule in which the king is always concerned about the welfare of his land and its people is now a far fetched dream. Implementation of democracy was a joke on the face of the dynasties. Now the "Kings" are elected from among the people just not to bother themselves about the country and its people when they become "kings".
Talking about myself I really have thought about this a lot.
What if someday you wake up in the morning and see that you are living in a palace where you can sing, dance, paint, play, write do anything you like and live happily ever after!!! Okay I finally woke up and the morn light knocked me down. After a whole day's work, when I am tired and worn out...I still wish.... If I WERE A PRINCESS!!!! :)

good imagination about being a princess :)
i want to be a prince too and live in those magnificent houses if not for anything else and ride a rolls royce like AB did in eklavya
:P
but honey, you ARE a princess! ;)
you are a barbie doll of the deserts... Sand makes you nostalgic... dats wht i hv realized... neways... nice post... the comparison between 'Dynasty' and 'Democracy' was good....
P.S. 'magnanimity' has got nothing to do with 'enormity'... be careful wid ur gab and with ur typos here and there...
CHEERS!!!
now i get it. u r still under the influence of ur amygdala. yet to recover from some of ur teenage syndromes.
being an Indian citizen, one should never talk about DEMOCRACY...!
n as far as ur wish is concerned,... INSHA-ALLAH.
hmm.. u kno wat, i think u r more fascinated by the 'king' rather than the 'kingdom'!! when there's a king like hritik.. then who wont wanna play his ash!!! right!
waise i liked the satirical part pertaining to current democratic situation..

I agree with the comparisons made and the way it started somewhere and ended somewhere else.. :)
dis was a lovely read with a subtle humour to it :)
lovely read .. liked the way u entwined reality with imagination n also liked how candidly u portrayed ur inner desires n yet made a strong statement ... its
not childish at all ..good going

If any of your desires are still left watch Jodha Akbar then you wud die to be a princess....
