Ms.Matchsticks and the Machine

"Bossy women! That's always a scary thing to have around"- Irene screamed from the other room at work. Irene was Ms.Matchstick's co-writer at the writing firm she was an editor at. That made Ms.Matchsticks start thinking about her new project. 'The Rise of Ms.Pants'. Is it that wrong that Ms.Matchstick as a woman should not explore the opportunities as a man should? IS it that bad that sometimes, just sometimes, women too like it just the way they want it? Ms.Matchstick Reads These have always been questions she used to ask herself. Why is she the bitch every time she says 'No', I will not be your doormat? Is it because they think her brain is smaller than theirs? She and Irene spent the rest of the day talking about all those penis holders who thought they were just too much for them to deal with. Isn't it funny that every time someone loses their footing to deal with someone larger than their lives, automatically confirms to the horr...

Ms.Matchsticks likes her coffee dark. Darker than coal. Why? Because, it is easier to make. Girls without pants...now that's a funny thought, Ms.Matchsticks almost spoke out loud. But, what really does she need? Sad! If only men realized, if only the society knew the power of a complicated woman. Enough with this now. Ms.Matchsticks needs to get her work rolling. She needs to set the world on fire. if only he understood, if only he realized that a chica needs her place. Sad. Again. But, she knew that nothing could build her heart except her. And, she stopped expecting men who think they will to help her find that place in the world. Money has never been an issue for Ms.Matchsticks. because, this chica knows what works. She knows how lonely it can get, and god she knows what attention means. But, how far could that get a brown girl living alone in a world where these very two elements go against her? Who cares! Ms. Matchsticks needs to move forward. This is the best part ...

“Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.” — Marc Hack Ah, the follies of literature Ms. Matchsticks thought while she read this quote. Clearly, Marc Hack never met brown men. Someone should take them and introduce them to the average Indian male smothered by their mother and trained to believe in the flawless slate of a woman's brain. She was doing all of those thinking while he was telling her how small of a brain she had for not keeping up with his broken promises. After all, why wouldn't he? It's the right bestowed by him, from his mother to make sure the rest of the women in the world would be lucky t...

Ms.Matchsticks always likes her life to be just the way she wants it. it is always easier to start off with. But, you know what really gets to the core of existence?   In a universe that is billions of years old and where we have all come out of single-cell organisms, the big bang and everything in between; being female has really stood out.     Think about it.   So, Ms. Matchsticks decided she will address this problem head-on. She will now learn how to female in 2018. As she played with the pages of the Oscar Wilde's 'Picture of Dorian Grey' and stared out blankly, she heard the phone ring.    'Not again' she whispered to herself. Hi Tina! Ms.Matchsticks replied taking the call, of course trying to be enthusiastic about the phone call. Tina was raving about this guy she had met two weeks back. But, Ms.Matchsticks knows these penis holders far too well. they come and go, boys trying to be men.   Tina finally hung...
