    In A dream of glass bangles the speaker imagines that his mother would have worn such bangles and when his father dies she becomes a widow.The theme of this poem is about the connection between glass bangles and marriage life or love. The sounds of bangles are also associated with women's actions as wives, and mother's. Bangles are considered a compulsory marital symbol, and glass bangles in particular are a sign of suhaag, or marital auspiciousness. Along with sindoor, nath, and mangalsutra, bangles indicate the married state and the husband's continuing life, and are consequently used in many poems and songs as a stand-in for these things. Their intense associations with marriage mean that bangles, among other ornaments, must be forsaken by women at the onset of widowhood. This has led to the ritual breaking of the bangles. Bangles are always connected with women's life cycle roles.Poet Agha Shahid Ali notes this enchanting connection in his poem A dream of glass bangles .
