Ms. Matchsticks and Denial At Its Best

Ms. Matchstick loved the sounds he made the second he was done. In fact that was one of the most manly and yet vulnerable moments she could ever find in him. It was familiar and it felt like home and that is all that mattered to Ms.Matchstick in the end of the day. 

But, one of the worst feelings is her having to hide her heart and head because she could she it in him. He was a boy who thinks he can, not a man. Things would scare him easily. 
He did have an old school charm to him though. While reading The Broken, Ms.Matchstick remembered everything that was misunderstood by him. How he shooed away her thoughts, her pleas. Sometimes, you can't just go right up and say; ' Hey! I am a little bit crazy '. 
But, Ms.Matchstick tried t make up for all her issues. She made a good home for him. Made sure he had everything he needed at his reach. At least she made for the piece of self loathing shit that she was. In either case, at least Ms.matchstick's did not shy away from her monsters. She befriended them. 
If only he was mature enough to grasp that. Abby's journey in The Broken reminded her of how she struggled every day to not let the cats in her head take over. And, as every day Ms.Matchstick survived, only she knew how hard it was. 
She quietly went and made her a glass of gin and tonic and sat beside the open window wondering, was his love worth turning away from herself? Was he worth all the pain he had caused? Was he really worth the ignorance he came with? 
Could she really tell him how she feels?

Ms. Matchsticks and Soma Chakraborty Who Manufactures Rapists

Image
Ms. Matchsticks wastes time on social media because it is fun. But, sometimes she stumbles upon something that makes her stomach curl in disgust. It's mostly when she sees a woman excusing 'rape' of other women. In 2019, this woman is not a product of patriarchy. She is the definition of how men become rapists. Men are not born rapists, they are manufactured along the way, by mothers like these. So, Ms. Matchsticks wrote this! Her name, Soma Chakraborty ! A lady who is apparently a music teacher and also is a rapist manufacturer by day and night as we see. You will see in the live video below on what exactly she had to say to endorse 'rape' on women based on their clothing. Shivani Gupta - The victim of a horrible and gross abuse still stands tall in the video below exposing how women endorse rape in our daily life. How women who are mothers, wives and are educated pushes for the rape of women based on clothing. Must power and love to her! India is w...

Ms. Matchsticks and the curious case of Brotherhood

So, here is something fun today. Apparently, the world runs on some kind of brotherhood. For whatever that ever meant, thought Ms.Matchsticks. As if it's a cult upbringing between men to be told of the ties they share all through their human lives. It would be a good thing, had we been asked to join this manly club 33 too you know, Ms. Matchsticks almost said out loud. I mean, there has to be a limit to how many rooms she has to sneak out of, to avoid further collaboration with the extraterrestrial ideologies of brotherhood. Because, God forbid, what if she started to see the light in such cult ideas. Can happen. But, wait time to shove the panties in her purse and quietly eject herself from this room, she had to spend the night in. it is absolutely funny to see the force of brotherhood that settles the tug of war between sexes. Is it ever worth all of this? Isn't it easier to just nod along, Ms. Matcsticks wondered while she kissed his dog and tiptoed out. After all, ...

Ms. Matchsticks and The Surf Excel Holi Ad

Image
Like most unwarranted and hard lined outrages, the Surf Excel Holi Ad outrage is absolutely misplaced. ms. matchsticks have been seeing way too many hard liners turning anything and everything in to a narrative that fits their religiously devised politics. What about this ad that really bothered people. Some hard liners say that the Muslim boy needed rescuing. Some say that it represented a media stereotype of Hindu festivals. Some had a problem with the word 'daag'. That apparently is insulting, even though all these hard liners will be giving their white kurtas for wash after Holi. Because, let's be honest! Stain means daag. After Holi, the colors are stains on your clothes. And, stains are good here. Stains often remind us of the most beloved times of our lives. it reminds us that we breathed life in to our mundane chronicles. So, yes 'daag' is good. So, what is actually wrong with this Surf Excel ad? Because, the hard liners have their outraged back...
