Kranti Trivedi : The Women who wrote for the Mankind!

'Her Kind'

- Anne Sexton

I have gone out, a possessed witch,

haunting the black air, braver at night;

dreaming evil, I have done my hitch

over the plain houses, light by light:

lonely thing, twelve-fingered, out of mind.

A woman like that is not a woman, quite.

I have been her kind.

I have found the warm caves in the woods,

filled them with skillets, carvings, shelves,

closets, silks, innumerable goods;

fixed the suppers for the worms and the elves:

whining, rearranging the misaligned.

A woman like that is misunderstood.

I have been her kind.

I have ridden in your cart, driver,

waved my nude arms at villages going by,

learning the last bright routes, survivor

where your flames still bite my thigh

and my ribs crack where your wheels wind.

A woman like that is not ashamed to die.

I have been her kind.

Likewise,Smt. Kranti Trivedi was born on the 28th of Sept. in the year 1930 in the state of Chhattisgarh, Raipur raised in the family of Pt. Ravi Shankar Shukla, the very 1st Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh.

The vivid simplicity of expressions in her writings, easy flow, and contextual relevance of the subject matter was evident in her stories published in popular Hindi magazines such as Saptahik Hindustan, Dharmyug, Kadambani, Navneet, Sarika, etc.

One of the most successful stories titled 'Phoolon Ko Kya Ho Gaya' has established its separate identity as being one of the 1st ones to be included in the manifestation program. She basically focused on the relevant issues faced by women which were among the cornerstones of all her writings.
