The Lost Flower

A happy family, a dream prince who will love you till the last breathe and some respect is all that a girl desires when she envisions her life after tying the eternal wedding knot. She steps into a new house and tries to make a family with love of her heart and magic of her hands but in majority of Indian families she is brought in on the basis of a predetermined matching check list as a multipurpose product. There is a saying in the Indian society “A girl enters her in-laws house in wedding carriage and leaves with her funeral.” her whole life is dedicated for her family after her marriage. A father proudly donates his daughter’s hand to a new family whom they hardly know with hope of her happiness. However how many of the Indian brides are really happy in their matrimonial relation. Some sacrifice on their career, some give up the relation with their own parents, some on their hunger, some get physically abused and some mentally harassed.
Losing her dignity
Killing her happiness
Keeping her mum
Bearing hundreds of hurt
Deep her heart
She continues on her wedding vows.
Because she is not expected to break her marriage and there is no one to support her as she is already been donated in the holy matrimonial fire. When she breaks free to claim her rightful respect and dreams she is labeled as a witch and characterless. She has to undergo a agnipariksha ( test of fire) to prove claim her happiness which she hardly gets.
