Watching tear-jerkers
makes her cry like a child
tears flooding down her eyes
often getting
identified
with agonies, pains and dilemmas
being undergone by a
character in serials and films.
Watching a devotional film or serial
with the appearance of
a god or goddess, on the screen
being enacted by an actor
in glittering costumes and ornaments
often with a halo around his/her head
keeping her eyes half-closed
she gets up from the
chair with folded palms
and offers prayers before the screen God or Goddess.
Watching an action-thriller
makes her grit the teeth
and clench her fists
identifying herself with the hero or heroine
who reduces the villain to
a heap of pulp after a long fight.
Forgetting her identity
with clenched fists,
she hits the wind
or someone seated beside her.
Watching full time comedy scenes
in serials and films
often drives her to
burst out laughing incessantly
the entire length of
the film forgetting the surroundings.
Watching art films
which drag on like a snail’s progress
forces her slump into the chair
fall asleep like a baby.
With time for News bulletins approaching
she turns off the
TV and relaxes
comfortably throwing her
eyes to the outside world…………...
