Metamorphosis of Familiar Faces-6

by Gayathri Devi Dutt
(Bangalore, India)

Impactful Anita


A workaholic, who had no watch
to keep track of time
co workers had to fall in line
to catch her work in time

Literacy and education the basic pillars
structured on gender railings
Bridging the haves and have nots
addiction intermittent and unremitting

several lines were drawn and
redrawn akin to a railway platform
the passengers bounced in were caged
To culture the trends of development
Among the stratified cross section

Embedded the family to work place
And vice versa circumstantially
Practiced and integrated core values
of empowerment eventually

Enriching the the sphere of work by a
Myriad Interventions was her forte
Transported and imported a
host of individuals and escorte

Activated the whole battalion
Inset and outsourced
Breaking the barriers and setting
a troop enforced

Incarnation of empowerment
empowered her network
injecting equity straightened
The tracks of haves and have nots.

Revolutionised the education sector
Implanting right to education
Treading the hard path
Braving the controversies

Never availed sick leave in
the breath of her entire service
the lack of awareness accumulated
damaged the body to the borderline

salvaging efforts failed she bid good bye
Leaving behind her legacy for the
prospective generations
to carry forward.
