There is a Paro in Every Girl - Page 4

When I was Paro's age I was terrified about getting married to someone I did not know at all.

But I understand there are many girls who look forward to this event in their lives thinking the man they are going to marry will be their knight in shining armor.

I think Paro is a little of both right now.

She tells her mamisa to close her up in a box and never let her go which indicates her anxiety. 

But then she has reconciled to her fate. What else can she do? She is not in control of her fate, is she? She dons her mother's shaadi ka joda, dancing around her small room.

Her best friend is Rukmini the blue butterfly. Why? Does she want to be free like her and fly away to a land free of all the murkiness?

Beautiful post, Rima. There is a Paro in all women.  Her hopes for the future, her dreams and her nervousness- isn't that what all brides feel, irrespective of their age at marriage? Sure many wouldn't twirl around, but that's just her expression of her joy and excitement.
