This new girl reminds her own reflections from a different time zone,
looking at the magazine she goes down the memory lane –
coming out of her father’s car, she looked like an angel in white frills and lacy gown.
Every man present that day wanted to be her partner for masquerade ball.
Girl with the golden tresses she was called then, eyes deep green ocean
Lips an arcs made for perfect smile, just out of fairy tale when he saw her for the first time!
Betrothed him next day, a match made in heaven – her mother said.
She’s was an overnight STAR – Duchess to a Royal Prince, photos, interviews, coverage all over place.
A life which just began a fortnight ago – full of hopes, aspirations, dreams..
shackled with heavy names and prefixes.
Sitting alone in this lonely castle of two rooms
she cries and wish – If I was Never Born.

Everything that glitters… not necessarily is attractive.

Oh God reminded me of Princess Diana .Soul breaking!
Wow, what a story
Great writing!!
Thank you Hiral glad you like it
That is the cost of being in the news and becoming a public figure. Everything is under public scrutiny. nicely done. Thanks for linking up with #FridayFotoFIction.
Princess Diana, sirf yehi naam aur face samne aaya
Bahut accha likha ??
True.. she was really captured under the stardom of being duchess.
Thanks Anitaji
The real picture behind the shiny facade – wish people could see it
Things are never what they seem, are they? This reminded me of Lady Di.
Thank you for writing for #FridayFotoFiction, Dipika.
Yes she was the inspiration behind the story. Glittery life, beautiful smiles royalty at it’s best but a saddened life ended up in duress.
Thank You Mayuri
It reminds me of Pricess Diana…who wanted to be independent but her crown bound her feet……
The reality of many shiny faces. Stardom of duchess ruled her.
Very beautiful shirt story. It’s actually a bitter truth. No body’s life is perfect..
Beautiful! I love it! ??Good work Dipika! Do you have some more?
Totally loved reading it… I could imagine her while reading… And yes.. Like you said everything that shines outwardly may not necessary have the sparkle inside
Thank tou Sabeeka
Beautifully written and it shows not all that glitters is gold.
what a wonderful poetic post ! all that glitters is not gold is wonderfully depicted here !
Thank you so much
Is this about princess Diana ..i could only think about her while reading ..very nicely written all that glitter is not gold
Yes about her and anyone who is bound in glittery world of glamour & fame.
Such a beautiful short story. Yes, not everything is perfect in life. Those shiny glitters sometime hide someone’s sadness and tears.
Thank You so much
We Mango people think the life of a Star is easy one. But reality is something diffrent. Loved reading this story thanks for sharing
Mango people ? you got me into fits here.
Thank You so much dear
All alone the lights of the world this is so heart touching post love your take
Very beautifully written ? Reminds me of princess Diana
Loved the writeup.. really heart touching and heart breaking! ❤
very well written dear! i loved it!
At the end, we all want different things from life. while everyone wished to have a life of a STAR, the don’t understand the price it comes for
Once again a beautiful story where you convey emotions really well but once again I couldn’t make the connect between the shoes and the story???
Haha.. glittery shoes are the personification of a STAR. A star who is a celebrity & entrapped in the glamourous life which she never asked for.
Very well penned Dipika 🙂
