Mother's Day 2010

It starts somewhere in her mid twenties,
When you were born, and that young lady
Was awarded a salutation of 'Mother',
The most respected role,
Despite being the toughest, in this universe.

She forgo all her freedom and worldly pleasure,
Just for your undiluted smile.
Even how many times you pee'ed in nappies,
Still you can find those nappies somewhere under her pillow.

She let her interests take a back seat now,
Spending all her time for your upbringing,
To feed you and make you strong,
Still you always complain about the food and other stuffs.

She empties all her saving for your future
Even though she does not earn single pence.
What she had collected is now spent on you.
And you still complain, she does not give you enough.

Now she is in her 60's,
Her health is frail,
But still no one dare to mess with her
The strength she holds can't be deterred by growing age.

Have you ever seen her heart of gold?
Did you ever thought what made her to smile even in the pain?
When was the last time you appreciated her?
Was there a single moment when you have met her without guilt?
What did you did to a smile on her face?

Now she faces the pain of negligence,
And time disappears very fast,
Tell her something you always like to say,
Make her smile before it is too late,
You never know, when she will move to a new role,
And then even your own life will cease to exist peacefully.

Life in six yard

It all started when I was six,
I was fascinated by the six yard,
Which my mother used to put on her
Though I didn't knew how she can put,
She looked splendid but with grace.

When I wore six yards for the first time,
I was looking beautiful,
I was only six at that time,
And my mom asked me not to do that again,
I got angry.

Again I wore six yards,
I was looking gorgeous,
I was only 12 at that time,
And was preparing for a function,
And my mom asked me not to do that again,
I got angry.

The charm of the six yards,
Made me to wear that again,
I was looking stunning,
I was only 18 at that time,
And I was preparing for my farewell,
And my mom asked me not to do that again,
I got angry.

I wore that for the last time in my parents' home,
I was looking attractive,
And I was feeling nervous,
I was getting ready for my marriage,
But this time, mom did not asked me not to do that again,
This time she just smiled and gave some words of wisdom,
My soul was sobbing, but my heart was upbeat with the celebrations,
I was not angry.

Now I wear it daily,
Today I understood the importance,
Now I empathised the responsibility,
Now I realised the real pleasure,
And the pangs it brings,
The strongest can wear it,
And the time makes me strong.


But still I am angry,
As why I was not able to understand this earlier,
How can I be so dumb?
Why always I understand so late,
...Oh my lord!!!
Let me be the girl in my next life,
But let me not be short tempered,
Let me not be so arrogant,
Be at my side and always show me the path,

...Oh my Child!!! ...Oh my Child!!! ...Oh my Child!!!
I am always with you,
I always show you the path,
I am there to take your sorrows and pangs,
You just see me in six yards!!!

The Culprit Sheep

A sheep is an animal which is stated to be the most gentle even though it has horns to fight. Still you will never see sheep fighting with fox and because of this reason sheep always got beaten and eaten. Now think of a sheep revolting and not heeding the threat of fox. Let me narrate you one such story.

It is a story of an educated sheep, which has done in bachelors in engineering, joined a big corporate house which is stated to be based on the so called values and ethics. This corporate was having the so called foxes which just only knows how to extract the wool from the skin of the sheep and later on eat them for flesh.

But the projected image of the big corporate was of a caretaker where sheep are fed and just asked to shed the wool. The difference in the real and the projected image creates an uneasy environment among the sheep.

But what else can you expect from the foxes and the sheep; both were working according to their behaviour.

Now comes the recession and the fox turned into an ugly predator, even without feeding the sheep, these foxes were just culling them for their meat and flesh business. The time was good for foxes as they take the name of recession for every step they take, whatever it was.

The time never remains the same, and the clouds of recession started moving away. A very famous phrase is like ‘once a dog eats bone, he will never forget to eat it’ and the same happened with these foxes too. They were in no mood to treat the sheep in a good way and culled them and produced eating delicacy. Foxes grew more powerful with the passage of time in their own world, but as the time has improved, the sheep also got the new opportunity to explore. As the sheep tried to escape the fox world, foxes started accusing the sheep of misconduct and of disloyalty. They started to make the separation of the sheep from the big corporate painful and started putting all sorts of blames on the sheep.

At last the sheep raised his horns, which till now it never used, and shown it to the foxes.

The response was so amusing and terrifying for the sheep. The reply was ‘you are harassing me and we will take severe action against you.’ What a way to treat the sheep, even when sheep has just shown his horns and not done anything else.

At last the sheep was branded as a culprit and allowed to go with the tainted image.

What else you can expect from this organization of values and ethics.
