I was enchanted with the character of Chanda, the fearless and independent high profile escort from the movie DevD, the new age adaptation of Devdas by Anurag Kashyap. I placed myself in her shoes and wrote this poem from her perspective. Finally she has Dev in her life unlike in the earlier movies where the alcoholic lover dies. <br /> <br /> <br />My journey from socks to cigars, <br /> <br />Hybrid of the orient and the west. <br /> <br />An MMS scandal-lost honour, <br /> <br />A dead father-fearless candour, <br /> <br />Ruthless mother-made me wander. <br /> <br />My sojourn from elitist locales, <br /> <br />To Delhi’s high profile brothels. <br /> <br /> <br />Rejected by society, <br /> <br />Found a new world of fantasy, <br /> <br />From American school girl to a spoilt pansy, <br /> <br />Donned roles of variety. <br /> <br />In an alien world, <br /> <br />Everything sold, <br /> <br />Led life a bold. <br /> <br />Biking up with books, <br /> <br />All they wanted is my glances and looks. <br /> <br /> <br />Amid wigs, jigs and talking in tongues, <br /> <br />I saw a psychedelic Cupid without wings, <br /> <br />Snorting coke, drinking whisky, <br /> <br />Free, fanatic and frisky. <br /> <br />Lost in love was his fate, <br /> <br />I became his forbidden mate. <br /> <br />In passion he lost himself, <br /> <br />In him, I found myself..<br /><br />Supriya Choudary<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-name-is-chanda/
