Written Affair : Her Beautiful Eyes

Her Beautiful Eyes is a poem about a blind girl... usually when we see a physically or mentally challenged person, we tend to be biased towards them. We think that those people are incapable of thinking, behaving or doing things the normal way... But God when takes away something from someone, he makes it a point to bless that person with other strengths. In this poem, I've tried to bring out the fact that even a physically challenged person is as much capable of doing normal things as we are... here the blind girl has same mysteries, same questions, similar dreams in her eyes... but we cease to notice them coz we are so full of our preconceived ideas...


No one saw her beautiful eyes...
No one saw
The depth in her eyes,
No one saw
Her curious eyes,
No one saw
The secrets hidden in her eyes,
No one saw
The questions rising in her eyes!


No one saw her beautiful eyes...
No one understood
The mysteries of the depth,
No one understood
Her curiosity towards life,
No one understood
How she hid her secrets,
No one understood
The questions in her eyes!


No one saw her beautiful eyes...
No one seemed to notice
The loneliness in her eyes,
No one seemed to notice
The pain in her eyes,
No one seemed to notice
The sad expression in her eyes,
No one seemed to notice
Her craving for the truth!


No one saw her beautiful eyes...
There was so much to be seen
In her beautiful eyes,
But those eyes could not see...
For she was blind!
No one ever noticed
Her beautiful eyes!

Generations have grown up outside the shadow of the communal killings and mass displacement that shaped the contemporary history of the subcontinent. Despite being born into a family affected by the Divide, artist and oral historian Aanchal Malhotra too had thought little about the Partition until she encountered objects that had once belonged to her ancestors in an Undivided India.
