Perhaps Poem by Aparna Chatterjee

Perhaps
We should be
Happy
She's now
Free from all
The stresses
Of life - from
Being an
Actress, a mother
And a wife

(Wrote this thinking about the recent demise of Sridevi. I couldn't make sense of it as it happened so suddenly in such mysterious circumstances. Her death has been a grave loss to her friends and family and of course, to her world of films and fans where she was and will always remain a superstar. I loved her in Lamhe (1991) . She was so superb in that movie. As her untimely death happened so close to Holi, the festival of colours seemed pallid without her. Don't know how many people celebrated. I was in no mood to celebrate.)

We can only give ourselves some sort of self-consolation that she's now free from all the burdens of life.

Perhaps it will make us feel a bit better about the void she has left in our lives with her endless absence.
