I am Harka Bai from valleys of Parnagarh

A puppet in the hands of fate

I may fall down many a time

Yet I will hold my head high

Like a true Rajput lady!

I am a blind... partially blind

A mishap took our carefree days

The guilt she never got over

Still, that doesn't hinder our affection

She's my sister, a protective mother!

I am proud daughter of Jagat Prasad Singh

He, a faithful savior of Mughal Empire

Awarded utmost rights over lands

Securing our future, the Mansabdar

Peacefully retired four years ago!

I am little sister of Durga Bai

She, a marvel of nature, a warrior

Fought with all her might, till her last breath

Faking the farmaan thus saving the land

A guardian angel, truly she is!

I am an orphan forced to flee from motherland

Till a lone traveler stirred my desolation

He, a unsolved puzzle, twice saved my life

Kept on conquering my mind eventually the heart

Strange I felt his Haveli... a second home!

I am just sixteen year old in his presence

Ignoring all the warnings deeply drawn to him

Risking my life so the future of my people

Jumped into a canal - a hollow of no return

brought alive a complete stranger only to slay my sentiments!

I am godchild of Maharaj and Maharani of Bansi

Ran to their cocoon to find solace

Instead I found... Jijasa as my groom

I exposed his true color and he exposed my secret

At the end, lost the only hope I had, my godparents!

I am bride of Mansabdar Akbar Mahmoud Khan

He, the shrewd businessman once spurned my feelings

Unmasked as Mentor of sister's murderer

Returned from nowhere claiming his love

Only to takeaway my Pride... My people!

Yes I am the unfortunate heiress of Parnagarh

The last ray of hope for my people

I lost everything in the game of politics

Still I am trying and standing on my feet

Holding my head up so high!

As I read this exceptional work of art from you Chellam... as I read how you've weaved the life of... the trials and tribulations of this young lady... showing its beauty, many tragedies and ironies... all I can say for now, is that I'm proud -

Proud to have thought of writing this story and it's main character Heera

Proud to have the medium of IF to reach you all

Proud to have friends like you

Thank you so much... this is the most beautiful piece of art from you where HBAS is concerned...

Don't believe me? Think of this... your poem inspired Bindup to pen a Haiku, forced Periyamma out of hibernation and compelled Manu to write more than 1 line ... 🤗 What more proof you want? 😆

You're a ⭐️

Love you girls... 🤗
