World is filled with darkness of troubles, you just wait for the light at end of tunnel, Taking clue on terror you just remember the God almighty.

Whose God is big, whose small, what's the point in these talks?
As many hands you find, just raise them folded, head bowed.

How many left, hour many died, who is alive, who gone, what will you do by these counting anyways?
Just be thankful that you are still there,
and till you are there just praise the Lord.

You are born a human being,
repay your debts of being one,
Be a ideal of humanity and raise the bar by caring for lives of all.

Don't raise questions for your tomorrow,
You never know who will come to help you in your times of need,
Do not make your list of forgiveness long unnecessarily.(1
)

Times are too tough,
Read all the books Gita, bible, kuran and Gurmukhi,(2)
If possible try and help the animals too.

Don't become a joke for someone's coronation,(3
)
Don't become meaningless character in someone's book,
It's time to write your own story,
Full your own book with ink of peace and love.

You have got to live, be thank full,
Embrace the lord,
As much as you live recite the name of God.

Few hours from now
A new dawn will arise,

Few hours from now,
New hopes will blossom,

Few hours from now,
The whole gloom shall disappear

Few hours from now,
The world will be united in joy,

The world was never one,
The borders, the states, was created through civilization.

The shackles of names of countries
Disappearing under oneness.

So much love is around
All hatred disappeared,

People now have care
All selfishness gone.

No one can say I rule,
No one is spared

Even the crown Prince
Cannot claim his rule.

Let the dawn bring
Cheerfulness
Meaning
And laughter

Coz' it hurts to see
Earth crumble up in despair.

It's a New year in most of India today.
Prince Charles tested positive for Covid 19 today.
Generation growing up today,
Feeling the pang inside,
Feeling the urge to do something,
That urge they never
felt until tonight.

The kids have seen it
all in one go,
Their history books recreating all scenes,
The epidemics of pasts
all zooming by,
The partition trauma they saw with immigrants moving,
The thousands of death
they saw happening,
No wonder they grew
a lot in a week,
Innocence making
conviction of becoming
something one day.

Kids today learnt the careers and career paths,
They understood the reason
to study,
to earn,
to contribute
to the society,
They have grown a lot tonight with clear meaning of purpose of being born.

The generation that
grew on technology,
Never really understood much of old beliefs,
Washing hands,
feets, mouth seemed
unreasonable burden,
To eat fresh veggies to increase immune system
was out of question,
Tonight they have become intelligent  that books
couldn't make them,
Immunity and germs they have learnt a lot.

I thus pray to God,
To let them be alive,
hail and healthy,
Let them be unscathed with this horrible disease,
These kids will become the future tomorrow,
They will read the history that He created,
Let them be least affected Dear God, for they can lead the human race forward,
Not many from us will
move forward in this
turbulent time,
But let the kids go forward and live a long life,
For we have given them all the knowledge,
that Noah might
have known on that ship
to create a fresh world!

Let them be happy and shiny,
For they have to believe You existed,
We have filled them with all the prayers,
They will carry the legacy of human kind forward.

Last stanza of a long poem of mine.
One can conspire
And become one
Against the one
Who began the brood,

One can aspire
To break the bond
Against the one
Who bought around
.

One can inspire
It's future progeny
To become similar
When time comes,

One can desire
To save the wrath
Against the ill
He plans to act
,

One can be assured
Nothing of the sort
No mercy for
conspirators
In the end,

Showing ignorance
Doesn't help either
Actions done on your
name are counted too
,

Make sure no one
uses one as tool
For one is responsible
For one's soul,

Hell and Heaven
Is both on Earth
One have to answer
All the questions here
,

When the time is good
Perform better deeds
When the time will come
Destiny will speak,

Deeds of past
Pay for the future .
Actions of today..
Decide Tomorrow
Better
Or
Worse

I was a Prince too,
Albeit, without the crown,

I was a sailor too,
My first love being sea forever,

But when we became one,
I chose to sail in your eyes till eternity,

Always by your side I remained with strong support,

Today, I am sorry dear,
I have to go.

Till we meet again,
See me in oceans and sky,
You will find me sailing through.

Rest in peace,
Prince Phillip Mountbatten.
Hugging is that exercise
That melts the heart away,
Hug your child a little more
To melt those blues away.

Kiss the babies cheeks
A warm kiss on forehead,
Just to cheer that sullen face
And to pamper with all the love you have.

It's a tough time we are living in
No future prediction can be true,
Don't leave anything for tomorrow
Just finish all the task today.

Share the childhood
memories
Pen the thoughts somewhere,
Let the world know,

That you are a fighter,
And the fighter you will be tomorrow.

Each time it rains
The memories of past flash backs again..

At the ending of the day,
The class ends,
The rain begins,
Heavy and forcing,
Rushing and gushing,

And she walks out carelessly ,
Starts her bike and rides in the tide,
Drenched, soaked, wet and refreshed,
In the rain, the memories ignite.

Chirping kids so rare,
Untrained kids rarer,

Young parents these days
See perfection
in everything,

A child blabbering
not appreciated,

Crawling before walking
not expected,

Trophy babies
Designer babies
Show stopper babies
Everywhere...

I hardly find merit
not influenced by
parents anxiety...

I hardly find a parent
not tensed at exams
of a child..

I worry for future
of kids for they are
not groomed to suffer..

Tensions are taken by parents..
Kids advised to take a chill pill..!

I worry because in life
kids have to grow someday,

All tensions of practical
life kids have to deal someday..

Till when the parents
be umbrella to problems
of a child...

Why not let them
live there life?
By just being
there to share..
To advice
To care
But not cover

By being there
With them to
Develop
&
to grow a
BETTER INDIVIDUAL..!!

Had been to my daughter's school today for PTM... parents worry so much for upcoming events... That to in Grade 1....
I told some of them... Teach kids to be strong.. not excellent.. any excellence these days is parents excellence... Wait till kids perform themselves....!!
And .....

This is the charm of an artist...

Give him a stone and he will return a Gem.

And..

This is the greatness of a poet...

Give him philosophy he will return a necklace.

And...

This is the beauty of special child,

Give him smile he returns it unconditional.

If someone mistreats you,
You don't REACT by foul mouthing...
Spread forgiveness instead..!!

If someone hates you,
You don't REACT with hatred,

One can't control the way others speak to them... They speak with their teaching, upbringing, background, wisdom.

But one can control the way was REACT...!!

Another message for my daughter..!!
On her question, how should I react if someone's foul-mouth with me??
Last year with a heavy heart...
We moved in to this new house..

Human emotions are so confusing..
I am in a country far away from my own,
I don't connect here though,
Still when it comes to moving
First old temporary house seems more mine than the other new one..

Strange..

When we came here,
The house was full of trees..
But strange things happened...
Each day my daughter came back with tiny red beads with no holes in it...
They were perfect red beads
Triangle in shape, slight elevated in the middle..
Each time she came with one my curiosity grew many fold...

After few months. . We got the surprise of our life..
The trees with tiny leaves had brown dried beans..
The fully dried beans had split open and stuck out from it
Were the same red 'beads'.... Today was found they were 'RED BEANS'..

After searching the web.. And settle the curiosity
After breaking each dried beans from the tree..
After storing each red bean..
I found out they are beans of RED SANDALWOOD..
The strange fact too..
In The old times..
Due to uniqueness and perfection of shape
Jewellers used it to measure gold!!
In my quest I found
The seeds are valuable even today..!!

But for me and my daughter it was a treasure of our new house
Memories building for a 'new temporary house'
To make it a loving old house,
The new house which was call "forest"
For it's various insects, bees, & multipedes.. Both brown and albino,
We finally forgot our old house..
We started loving our new house..
Almost after a year we moved in..
We love it equally if not more..

Orange hue of Gulmohar,
Saffron colored palash
Hanging golden laburnum,
The beauty I had lost!

Blazing sunrise,
Golden sunsets,
Silent lakes,
Nature I
took for granted!

Family meetings,
Friends get-togethers,
Laughter and fun,
I wish, I had attended
some more.

Lockdowns, Isolation and
Corona,
Bought reality in my thoughts,
Small frictions and meaningless anger,
Busy earning the useless money,
Stole my days of life once lived,
My carefree time enjoying
nature & its beauty!

I promise, now the priorities will change,
Life will never ever be in the back seat again!

Gulmohar and Palash are Indian ornamental flowering trees both referred to as Flame-of -the-forest. Both have intense golden orange colored blossom flower just like cherry blossoms.

Gulmohar - Royal poinciana,
Palash - ******* teak, Parrot tree.
The drought just ended,
Rains are flowing in,
Green pastures everywhere,
Life becoming to bloom,
Gloominess of the world ends,
With rain washing all sadness,
Darkness of uncertainty,
Cleared by the drops of rain,
Thoughts of world ending,
Erased by new flowers blooming,
The pain of being away
Fading with the joy I see around,
You will be mine in some time,
Soon we shall reunite for fun and smile,
Though this distance is painful,
But with each passing day,
It strengthens our love,
The more we are apart,
The more we become near,
These long days of loneliness,
Will make our life different,
Coz’ now we know the pain being away,
So we will cherish the moment of togetherness,
The joy of being with each other,
Can only be felt when being away,
You are more near me now,
Than you were when you were here,
I am more in your heart now,
Than, I was when we were together

Sparkle in Wisdom will be my pen name here.... :)
In a corner of a room lying is the table,

A vase placed on it
A chair besides it,
A cot placed near it,
And
Me sitting on it...
Each morning,
every evening
This is the look of
A room which has
White walls
And glass windows.
The room that's in the corner of the big full house ...

House is filled with voices,
And cooing of babies
And whispers
And laughter
With people that are mine,
With guests that are visiting...
But the white room in the corner
Have just me and my silence.

Its not happening
with me alone
It has happened with many
before me,
It will happen with many
after me
Some will call it fate
Some will call it compulsion..
Sitting here alone
I think,
I have learnt to live alone
I will manage my remaining
life alone
But my son and after him his son
Will they be able to live in
old age alone like me??

Some have all the living relations but house is lonely,
Some don't have any one around and house is silent
Those born in my time have long gone
Those death do us part had too gone away
And I am still alive!!

I write sometimes on the table lying beside
Sometimes a poem
Sometimes old memories
List of old friends
Those who are still alive
Those who are no more...

Here,
I am waiting to become a
photo frame
To be adorned on the wall...
Though in a photo frame,
but waiting to be part of colored walled that's main room of the house,

I am waiting to be once again in the center of whole voice filled house,
I think,
The day I am hanged on the wall of colored room
Knowingly-unknowningly I will become part of there talks too...

I have lived a long time in this white walled room,

Maybe then I will leave this room
Maybe now I will leave this room.

#OLD AGE LONELINESS
.
The bread and butter that I eat,
The parties and fun that I treat,
The outings and gatherings that I visit,
Do not give me peace and solace.
.

Each day I see poor become poorer,
Each day I see pain in their eyes,
The house girls moving around,
Lost jobs due to pandemic,
Their husbands too have no work,
No construction happening anywhere!
.

When I plan to cook something luxurious,
I loose my appetite,
I feel the hunger felt by the poor,
I change my menu subconsciously to simple.
.

The guilt is deep in my heart,
How I wish I could help each one,
How can half of world celebrate
and other half left to die?
How can one part enjoy
and other part left to suffer?
.

.
Is not pandemic same for everyone,
Rich, poor, old and young?
Is not death a certain future?
Why then there's pain for some?
&
Enjoyment for another section?
Is not this time a reminder of our duty to share,
When country is surrounded by toughest time ever?
How can people laugh and enjoy,
party and roam around?
When,
W are well aquainted with
The plight and sufferings of humans around!

Pandemic diaries
The Sahel Sahara is deep, big and vast,
Golden desert and sand dunes past,
Camels and shrubs hidden bones beneath,
Dry, rigid and lifeless.

But,
it gives much needed life to the Amazon,
The desert storms from sahara deposits minerals in Amazon.

The lifeless big mass brings to life the biggest life forms,
The dry zone creates the rain forests.

Nature and it's mystery unsolved yet curious.

When discarded from all sides.

The bad things happen & pass by,
Leaving behind the inumerable loss,
Leaving the tears for the left ones
Leaving the memories of good times....

The scar remains,
reminding each year,
of the horrid event ,
of the saddest moment,
Loss of parents,
loss of a child,
Loss of the home once built with so much love and pride.

Loved ones gone leaving the cherished moment spent together,
Contemplating the loss,
counting the worth,
The unseperable truth,
unchangeable destiny,
You are to live now to show the world
of pain the pain you felt,
To tell the tale of your once beautiful world...

Tsunami wiped it away,
9/11 smashed it away,
m
Major stebacks takes seconds to happen,
Seconds of horror leaving life time to live in its effect
but all this tells us
* Life has to move on...

There's always light after darkness,
There's always hope to live on..
Ee aren't God to design destiny,
But by smashing in pain we can glorify the destined

Pain has its effects & there's no pain-killer
But to move on us important,
Time is the best healer they say
To move on whilst adding a chapter to one's life
Is tough but a must taken decision,
Sorrows come and pass-by,
Times fades the pain,
You have memories to treasure..
you have to decide what to remember

To remember-
The merry time spent together,
Making relationships,
Building home to live,
The togetherness the love,
The laughter,
The fun..

OR

To remember-
The black day,
the 'second' that ended everything...

Do not sulk over destined 'second'
Instead live with happy treasured Love-stories,
Love story of your relation with each member of your family,
Smiling or crying is one's self decision.....
But life has to move on....


Life can't be wasted on
Second That Shouldn't Matter!!!

There is always a you in him,
And a him in you,
I see a lot of him when I see you,
I see a lot of you when I remember him.
I become satisfied when I see you,

Because my eyes search for him,
I am searching for those glimpses that brings him out in you.

I am reaching out to your your cheeks,
In desperate attempts to feel him,

I look beyond your eyes, deep,
Just so that I can see him within.

You remind me of him,
I had one before you.

You complete me,
But he created me,
long before you came,

You fill me with emotion,
That he stirred in me,
long before you existed,

You make my life complete,
That he started with his footprints, long before God sent you,

You try to bring smile on my lips,
That he started to draw,
before he decided to call it quits and left us forever,

And so, my little angel,
You are now left to fill in for the two.

When my world was collapsing,
You came as a pillar,
When my dreams were fading,
You came as a light,
When my thoughts became blank,
You filled it in with color,
When my smile started dying,
You became the reason for me to rejoice,
When tears in my eyes overflowed,
You bought solace in them,
When I started feeling lonely,
You bought life back in me,
When my mood became emotional,
You made me practical,
When I missed terribly my people
You mimicked each one for me,
When darkness came near me,
You bought brightness with your presence,
When I felt it to be end of road,
You showed me new path, new goal,
When today I think of you,
So many emotions surge in my heart,
Love, Gratitude, Guide, Philosopher,
The best one though is last to come,
Coz’ I make you my dearest friend,
You have given me so much I can never repay,
But promise I make, to be always happy,

Believe in yourself,
Aspire to reach the top,
Love yourself more than anyone,
Praise yourself everyday,
Be happy, smile, enjoy..
Just believe it's for you.. you are born for...!

Don't wait for someone to make it better....
People are too many, reasons aplenty..
Don't wait for someone to bring SMILE on your face..
No one should limit you,

Don't bind yourself in rules.. Just grow...

And don't ever depend on anyone, or any face..

When I touch my bed,
Lights go off,
My heart starts beating,
My mind stops working,
My eyes doesn't close,
Still I dream,
I dream of you...!

When loneliness covers me,
When darkness surrounds me,
The silence of night around me,
The sound of insects chirping aloud,
In this silence my heart speaks aloud,
Your name it shouts,
for you it calls...!

When I start to sleep,
My eyes start to rain,

I just keep thinking how CLOSE we were,
I just keep thinking how FAR we are,
Yet I believe one day we will meet
And in that meet eternal bliss will be  till eternity...!

Dreams are something I live on,
With open eyes I dream of you,
Thoughts betray me,
Love kills me,
Distance destroy me,
Rules bind me,
Loving you is the best thing ever happened to me,
To be loved by you would have been divine...!

Wait is what is written in my destiny,
Wait is what I will do,
May it be week,
month,
years...
Still,till infinty my eyes won't sleep,
My heart won't stop dreaming,
My thoughts will always have you in them,
And as the night falls,
And the lights goes off,
My head will touch the pillow,
My eyes will flood for no one to see.....!

You are my life,
my soul,
My soulmate,
You are everything I have,
You are everything I want to have,
You made me complete,
You made me woman....
You made me woman madly in love,
My destiny will change to occupy you,
My wait will be fruitful
Sometime,
Someday,
Somewhere,
Some how,
We shall definitely meet.....!

Till then...

Did you see a special child,
Moving on its own
Waiting for a smile from
strangers faces around!

Did you see a special child
Sitting in the park
Waiting for the ball to come so
He can give a pass!

Did you see a special child
Sitting near the lake
Waiting for the fish to be caught
In the fishing rod straight!

Did you see a special child
Moving it's wheel chair fast
To catch that metro rail
Which is about to depart!

Did you see a special child
In your child's class
Sitting in a corner waiting for acceptance and cheers!

Did you see a special child
In your neighbor's house
Waiting to be befriended
By the whole society!

Did you see that special child
Whose innocence is unbound
Smiles are genuine
And eyes are pure shine!

Unfortunately,
It's 'not' you alone who
did not see him..
We tend to not register
there presence,
We deny to register
there existence
I haven't seen a special child
till my 28th birthday.

Till I became a mother of one...
That day a mother was born
A special mom of a special child...!!!

Then I became friends with
Many such special mom's...
Beautiful kids became

And the special journey

Cerebral Palsy.
You see that innocent eyes,
That smile which
doesn't mean much,
That twist in the face,
That moans and cries,
You here those sounds
And try to understand,
The meaning of sounds
The silence,
The blabbers.

You try and gather
Your wish and wisdom
To bear the pain
Of his and yours,
You arrange your emotion
On sections and shelf,
The fun being a mom..
The pain to see him
bed-ridden..,

The joy of being a mom
The pain of having
A special son..!



You meet people
You try to dodge
Those
Haunting eyes
Questioning eyes
Inquisitive eyes
Expecting eyes
Advising eyes..

Which want to know
Each single thing
That you don't want
to answer,
Yet you start again,
The story from the birth
The things gone wrong
The joy you have being a mom
The life being tough,
And,
The life's satisfaction maximum..

And you dread to hear
the words that will follow
You try to be deaf
and run away
Yet,
Slowly you hear
The questioners whisper...
The listeners views
Forced upon your ears .
It's painful to know this,
It's painful for a mom,
It's painful for a child
to be like this....

You want to shout
Your lungs ripped out ..
A mom can never have
pain to serve her child..

A mom is a mom
always a Mom...

Yes,
May be the child is in pain
and that's wrong..
May be God had his own plans..
May be God felt the child
is in better hands.
But,
There's s no point explaining..
As a mindset cannot be changed.

Opinions can be plenty .
But,
A bond will be unique
A special son of a
dearest mom...
No comparison,
No comparison
No compassion
Is ever needed..!!

A bond of Mom with her special son.
Each time public travel raises plenty questions
What happened
How
When
Any scope of being normal
Etc etc...
Teach kids

Sharing
Not
Offering

Endurance
Not
Obstinance

Maintaining
Not
Throwing

Securing
Not
Spreading

Jo­ining
Not
Breaking

Propitiating
Not
Petulance

Love
Not
Anger

Sympathy
Not
Partisanship

Rich by heart
Not
By currency

Teach kids humanity,
Human
Better human
And
Better future
All will be made
by itself.

Change will come,
When we change
When we change our habits,
Kids will learn from it.

A BETTER WORLD WILL
BE CRAFTED
...!!!

We met not so long ago
But I can call them ages away

We grew closer
We talked like buddies
Endless questions
Full of emotion

The memory so vivid
The fragrance rigid
You owe me nothing,
No grudges,
No parting whispers,
We just drifted away
As if we never met
..

But today I tell you
That one last thought...
That passed through my mind,
When I saw you from distance..
I knew that moment
We will not meet again
I knew that day back then..
It's going to be last time..
I will never see you again
..

I wanted to tell you
I wanted to warn you..
But
Then you always laughed
at my intuition,
And
I also wanted you to part happy,
With no tension of good byes ..
The emotional things you disliked,
The love in your eyes,
The smile on your lips,
The care in your voice,
The pain in your embrace,
All vividly,
Rigidly etched in my heart
.

I so wanted it to end that way,
As all those would also be YOUR last memories...
Wherever you are,
With whom so ever,
I am sure when ever you
remember me,
And you do remember me, I know,
I am sure you still smile on the silly songs I liked ...
I wanted this ending to be just like it happened
...
Though I did not time it that way
But nature takes it own course...!

With no warning we parted our ways...
Let me say you GOOD BYE...
That one last time
!!

This is the only difference!

In the middle of life,
In between the chain of thoughts,
Free flowing ideas,
Weaved up intense in my heart...

In your thoughts
I sit,
gazing the sky beyond,
Huge, blue deshaped sky's deep blue color,
It's deep like thoughts,
Gazing intently in horizon I sleep in slumber thoughts...

I sleep with you,
I wake up with you...
But you are not besides me..

This is the only difference....

When my eyes open,
I see your little innocent face,
But when I touch it...
The feel is not thr...

That's the only difference

My eyes wells up in tears...
My head's rests on your chest..
Your hands touch my head...
But I don't get that feeling of being touched..

That's the only difference

You are there yet not there...
That's the only difference

You try to bring smile on my thoughtless face
But your eyes cannot see that smile..

That's the only difference

This is the only difference.....
If you see a special child.... You will understand the feel of the above write up

It's a translation on my Hindi original though

When a complete quadriplegic child is around you... You can feel every emotion in him yet... He in not there...

He touches you... But the feel us not thr...

I cannot describe that feeling.... You have to find it to understand...
.
There's an apartment,
In front of my house,
All with balconies facing mine.


None has a green hand but one,
& that entresol is full of life.


A combination of frondescence brings life everywhere,
Pegions & birds sits on its roof,
Feasting my eyes and ears full.


A small 4'/6' space used so very intricately,
A garden in the edges,
&
It's a working space too,
With clothes line and washing machine.


Big green tomatoes,
Red peppers,
Lemon grass,
A big red Jasmine flower,
Abundant cherry tomatoes,
A small Mango tree,
A gooseberry tree,
A bamboo tree too
They all fill and fit in that small space.


The dedication of family amazes me,
Their empathy for plants fills me with gratitude,
They don't pluck anything,
All veggies and fruits ripe on plants,
A green cherry tomato turns red on the plant,
A green pepper turns shining red,
Jasmine blossoms on the tree till it withers,
It's an amazing thing,
It's patience and pristine.


The mezzanine in front of mine,
It's life in itself,
The otherwise dead apartment,
Comes alive just because of this foliage.

I see a special child,
Then I see another one again,
Then I miss my own
Which brings so much pain.

I try to find the story
Behind the complexities of the child,
I try to share the agony
The parents bear daily.

I try to convince them
They are not alone,
There are many like there kids
Hidden in this big world, shadowed.

I go to them and talk with them
Try bring solace,
They are blessed to have a child
As beautiful as there own, with grace.

I want them to believe me
How blessed they really are,
For the beauty in there child is
Not in the insane words they speak.

But the beauty lies,
In the eyes of the child,
In the smile of the baby,
In the trust she exerts,
In the belief they have.

The beauty of there child is,

Having the blessings of the God,
In being the chosen one,
The one who God bestows
His choicest trust,
In belief of the parent to be
capable to handle the child as
God's gift to the world.

The
Vast expanse of
Yellows and Reds,
And
Blazing Reds on greens
And greens becoming orange,
This magic occurs,
Under a clear blue sky
with white clean streaks.

Here Comes
Fall with
A loud cheerful greetings
A loving Hi, from beautiful natural bouquet.

The hiya and hellos
Of nature and beauty,
The valuable treasure
Of scene and dreams,
The serene paradise,
Of poets and painters,
The perfect blend of nature and imagination.

Welcome Fall,
Welcome Life,
Welcome Change,

Welcome to the Dreamers Paradise.

Inspired by a pic taken by my cousin of clean fall expanse in USA.
One doesn't always need
words to
hear,

A smile,
A nod,
An observation
speaks louder,

Sometimes silence is noiser
for it fills your thoughts,

An observation,
that runs
through your mind,
The vision,
that wires the brain,
In Such a way,
that
you start getting
attached
to the new world.

You think you hold me strong,
Strong enough to make me stand..

You think you are the power  
behind me,
Power enough to let me hold
my ground firm..


You think you give me recognition,
Recognition enough to have my name..

You think you give me directions,
Direction enough to follow your path..

You think you give me Identity,
Identity enough to name the relations..

You think you do me service,
Service enough to give me sanity...

Think again...!!!

I owe you nothing..
You give me nothing..


We share each thing that you give me..
I give you double all that you give me..!!

What do we call a thought,
That strucks morning afternoon & night?

What do we call a name one remembers every day in morning afternoon and night?

What do we call a emotion that keeps repeating this past 3 decades and still is going strong?

What do we call a process of remembrance that strengthens a spirit everyday?

What do we name a relation that do not have existence?

What do we call a bonding which today only exists in one's thought?

What do we call this existence of thoughts to be the lifeline of the thinker?

What do we call a thinker, a person living in illusion?

Call it anything,

But it's the only thing that keeps one to be
Positive,
Trying,
Spirited,
Achiever,
Motivated
&
ALIVE!

Had kept her alive for past 3 decades!

When we met,
We fell in love,
For me you were the world,
For you I was the destination.

Our journey began against all odds,
We were separated by religion,
In the country we lived it was the biggest sin
To be Hindu and Muslim
To be in love
To marry
To Think of living together.
We did all!


We fought with the society,
We fought with our parents,
We made
New friends
New home
New life
Thus Began...

For you I was your destination,
For me you were my world.
For us we were complete.

That day too...
We were coming home,
In the train that ran at high speed and in rain,

I asked you again
Am I still beautiful?
You said, you know none better than me.

I asked you again, are there any regrets?
You said, none that you could pen.

I asked you again, am I still your final destination?
You said, you will never need a new one ever.

You hugged me,
And
Kissed me tight
And
Then suddenly you

Pushed me outside
I died on spot,
You moved away with train,
I was left in the rain.

You have made me a final destination indeed,
At
The Tomb stone in Kabristan!

I read in news a month ago, a Hindu-Muslim matter couple were travelling in a train(Mumbai local) and boy hugged and kissed the girl and pushed her to death. A lady saw this, called the police and boy was arrested at next strain. The girl died on the spot.

Kabristan is the name of  Muslim graveyard in India.

Rest is fiction.
I need to share today a post dedicated to special mothers. The MOTHERS OF DIFFERENTLY ABLED KIDS

Today is the day a special mom was born.
I want to tell the world that when a special child is born, the mother doesn't know anything of his/her needs. She learns, she grows with the baby.

When a special need child is born, doctors don't know the future, the baby doesn't tick the parameters, the child doesn't bother to follow rules set by normal people, accepted by world, a special mom learns it all by experience.

When a special need child is born depending on severity the doctor pronounce the verdict, considering themselves nothing less than God, they declare the child will be
Vegetable.(I was told this for my son, when he was 9 days old... I WAS A NINE DAYS OLD MOM!)
Hyperactive.
Blind.
Deaf.
Microcephaly.
Hydrocephalus.
Mild­ delayed.
ADHD.
Time will tell.
Etc, etc...
Just like routine

Imagine and feel, when a doctor tells a new mom all this, little do they think that the mom was a girl few months back, she don't even know how to care for "so called normal child" keep apart caring for a special need child.

The mom learns, the mom grows.

Respect and love special need mothers.

No compassion, no sympathy, empathy may be.

A small tribute to Special Mom, for them the world revolves around their special need child.

Trust,
Small word,
Hard to gain,
Harder to maintain,
Think hard
Before giving it to someone!!

Umeed


Waise tho bahut chota sa shabd hai umeed, lekin

--kisi ke liye zindagi jeene ka sahara ban jata hai

tho kisi ke liye zindagi main kuch hasil karne ka junoon..!!

Translation..

HOPE­..

Hope!! Though it's a small word..

But,
For some it becomes a support to live a life,

And for some it becomes a passion to achieve something in life.

Ur stare makes me still,
Ur stare kills me...........
when I look around I see u,
your eyes set on me I dare not see,
When I look down I feel u,
Your gaze set on me I dare not move.........
You have bundle of questions in ur look,
U dont speak u only look,
U have appreciation,
u have compassion,
U have care,
u have passion in that gaze of urs....
U make me wonder why u stare,
U make me wonder who is behind those eyes,
U make me wonder why u dont speak,
U make me wonder why do u have to stare,
U make me wonder who u r ?
U make me wonder why u r ?
wherever I go u follow,
I cud feel u,
I cud see u,
Amongst host of crowd I cud make out wherever you are...
U are still on one place,your gaze moves everywhere.....
U follow me,
U make me still,
Ur Gaze Assasinate Me....
I would like to go stillI would like to b killed for that one stare of yours,
I would be there 100 times,
I would be there for u to capture me in ur eyes,
For that one stare of urs............I would be captive for all my life!!

Old piece...10 years ago... Wrote this after watching some movie...

Sparkle in Wisdom will be my pen name here..
Yesterday,
School felt a bit happy,
The walls felt a bit loved,
The benches felt the touch of little fingers,
The ambience was full of chatter,

School is missing it's main ingredients,
The laughter,
the banter,
the hushing of teachers,

The queues,
the assembly,
the prayers in morning and in noon,

The lunch area is missing the smell of delicious food,
the craving,
the raving and the steps coming in and moving out,

Yesterday,
for few moments at least,
The place felt loved and lively again,
The new girl who is not too new now,
felt welcoming and believed the school is hers in true sense.

The cheers were real,
The friendship bloomed,
Never to end,
A relationship began.

Sparkle In Wisdom
Went to school yesterday to collect papers, went with the daughter and her friends came too, after seeing the love in kids after the meeting, wrote these extempore lines but seeing their love.
------------------------
Went to the old park
Just after a month's break,
But the park is renewed
With even the faces of visitors changed.

The complete make over it had got,
All new gym machinery in place,
It's used to be kids park but now all age group throng it plenty.

The place is busy as bee,
People waiting in que,
For the exercise is a thought
That has already made it's mark.

Now with feeling to get fit
People walk and jog
Cycle and abs crunches
abound,
Crowd is becoming young and sound.


I like to be here in morning and in evening,
I have made friends here,
I like to smile and spread joy,
With different groups that I meet here.

Mornings are of oldies and freer people,
Evening are younger more like me,
But I fit in both..
Morning I walk and listen to news,
Evening I watch my kids become smarter...

A visit to the park
rejuvenate my mood,
Just like a cup of perfectly
brewed latte coffee...!!
