Gist of the poemPoet describes how a women deals with the
difficult situations in her life even past fifty. The poet presents Indian women and their problems. Life of a middle-class women is nothing but a non-stop toil ,ceaseless struggle and tiring journey. Even after fifty years of age , still she is a girl at heart. Though she has travelled a long distance in life , her little feet are not fatigued yet. Her distasteful smile makes everything smooth like the moonlight that smoothens everything. She faces all difficulties with a child’s innocence. The poet saw her after a long time and the women talked to the poet in her usual intensity with a grey hair and also the hollowness of the bubbles rising above the stream of her life.
