I read that as "Her nonchalant hair loss" and I'm like, "Whoa! where's this poem going?"

A good one, though.

if you consider this flattery, i am surprised. if you consider this as 'understanding' women or even your loved one,i'll laugh. even if you consider this poetry, i'll ask you to read a little more. clearly you want women to always be fulfilling some or the other function for you as mother, wife, girlfriend whatever...wholly disappointing...wholly regressive.

Anonymous, yaar, it's a nice poem. The most common roles that women all over the world fulfil, more than any occupational roles, are the very natural roles of mother, wife, child, friend (putting sister in that poem would have been a bit awkward). What is regressive about that! What can be more powerful and progressive than being a mother?

Balaji, dude, as a working woman whose femininity is often suppressed, I liked this!

But you should make the following addition:

Her demand for equal opportunities,
Her ability to work long hours at the office,
Her 3.9 GPA
Are just indicators that she's my equal within.
