LET DOWN 


When a woman, is physically beaten or abused, she really  feels let down. 


Harsh words wound her heart n soul beyond repair; that's when she really feels let down. 


When her own, ignore or ridicule her, feels she very hurt; she really feels let down. 


When her intelligence,  skill, capability are ignored becauseofgender; she really feels let down. 


When male siblings are given undue importance, just becauseofgender; she really feels let down. 


After being a loving caring daughter n sister,  when there is discrimination; she really feels let down. 


When her husband,  on whom she emotionally depends,  doesn't support her, she really feels let down. 


When her own kids are rude with her or ignore her; she really feels let down. 


PLEASE LOVE YOUR MOTHER, DAUGHTERS, SISTERS, WIFE, AUNTS; DON'T EVER LET THEM DOWN.

A WOMAN OR  AN ANGEL 


Tiny, cute, petite,  a fair beauty with  curly hair she was;


Simple, unassuming,  self-sacrificing,  a "karma Yogi" she was. 


Honest, dedicated, loving and caring,  she was. 


A sincere teacher,  extremely knowledgeable she was. 


Almost a mother to her  Grandma,  Mum, niece n nephew she was;


Later on my  darling mother, friend, philosopher n guide she was. 


If every mother is  sweet; to me, sheer nectar she was.


An epitome of love,  A "DEVI", AN ANGEL, she was. 


Mum, When it's time to reunite,  PLEASE COME,  TO ME  RECEIVE 


On this WOMEN'S DAY,  I  salute the best human, who gave me unconditional love.

HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY 


Dedicated to my dearest Aunt, Dr. N D Motashaw, a living legend. 


You were always, dearest Aunty, from childhood, my idol image 


Wondered I always,  how did you such inhumanly hectic schedules manage!


Your dedication, your  expertise, grit, were uncopararable, beyond my imagination !


Hardly ever could you,  a family function attend or go for a  movie or for a  vacation. 


Endlessly you worked, long hours, deliveries,  surgeries, OPDs, lectures,  conferences !


Patients came from far and wide, with  notes from  their Docs. or with references .


Grabbing a meal in your car, when being driven from hospital one, to another


In spite of all that pressure, your confident, dimpled smile was an aspect other.


A book I could write, if I, details mention about you n your work, that would be, my real wealth. 


But I end, with loads of love, warm hugs and all good wishes, specially good health.

ઘડપણ

ઘડપણ સિખવે છે માનવને, ઘણું બધું, જે સિખવતિ નથી એને જવાની;

કારણ, જવાની તો હોય છે તોફાની, મસ્તાની અને સાચું કહું તો, થોડી  દિવાનિ

આં ઘડપણની પીડા, કમજોરી, બેબસિ, તે અને  મે, ઘરડી  થઈને જ જાણી .

ઘડપણમાં, નાતવાન હાલતમાં લાગે છે આધિનતાનો, એક ભયાનક આભાસ

બે-ચાર ડગલાં ભરીએ, ત્યાં તો વધી જાય છે હૃદયના ધપકારા, ચઢી જાય છે શ્વાશ

કમજોર તન, કમજોર મનની સાથે ડગમગી જાય છે ઘણું બધું, ખાસ કરી, આત્મવિશ્વાસ.

ક્ષિન થઈ જાય છે જીવન ડોરી, માનવ થઈ જાય છે નિર્બળ, છોડી દે છે આશાની ડોર

આં ઘડપણ વીતે શાંતિથી , પ્રેમથી, રહે સ્વાસ્થ્ય બરકરાર, ઘટી જાય નહિ બધુ તન મન નું જોર

છોકરાઓ આપે પ્રેમ અને આદર, રાખે કાળજી, બસ નાચતો રહે મન-મોર.

THANK YOU O MAZDA

Wish I do not, to eat delicacies, on a gold or  silver platter;

It will perhaps make me egoistic,  proud or at least, make me fatter

Thank you I most sincerely  O Mazda,  for the rice, dough n batter.

Happy I am indeed with the goodies granted, n of course my bread, jam n butter.

Foodies we are, n granted us You have aplenty; nothing there  is to  complaine or mutter.

A sincere request I make to people like me; waste food do not, let it not go into a gutter.

Food, water n clean air, O Ahura, are Your precious gifts unto us mankind

Eat, enjoy and a little share we must, with others; this always must be on our mind.

Learn we  must, to inculcate n incorporate Your attributes; n to be grateful n kind.

A wee bit of effort on our part can save a lot of water n food,  which we willingly must.

Wish I could afford to refrigerators install, where people, the extra food could deposit;

May I kindly request RESTAURANT n HOTEL OWNERS to help out n do their bit.

The needy could use it, to their hunger eliminate; fill up their burning empty pit.

ભુખ

હોય છે માનવીને જાત જાત, અને  ભાત ભાતની ભુખ; ઘણી વિશેષ અથવા વિચિત્ર પણ હોય છે અમુક

હર એક પ્રાણીને હોય છે કોઇ નેે  કોઇ ભુખ; સૌથી વધુ જોવા મળે  છે, પેટનો ખાડો પૂરવાની ભુખ

પણ અમુક લોકોને હોય છે ઠૂસી ઠૂસી ને ખાવાની ટેવ, થોડાથી પેટ ભરાય નહિ, જોઇએ અસંખ્ય બુક.

દૌલતની ભુખને લીધે તો લડી પડે છે ભાઈ બહેન, બંધુ-સખા; બદલાઇ જાય છે સંબંધો, એવી હોય છે ઝેરિલિ એ ફુંક.

શૌરતની બી  હોય છે ભુખ ઘણાને , બનવું છે કોઇ ને જગમાં ઉત્તમ અને શ્રેષ્ઠ; બીજાને કહેવું છે, " તું મારી સામે ઝુક "

કોઇ પ્રેમીઓ ને છે પ્રેમ ની ભુખ પ્યાસ, પ્રીતમના  પ્યાર ની હૂંક, લાગે એમને મીઠી, જાને કોયલની હોય એ  કુંક

સૌથી હાનિકારક છે સત્તાની, ખૂરશીની ભુખ, આં પ્રાપ્ત કરવા  માસુમોના લોહી રેડાવે છે લોકો અમુક.

કોઇ એક વિરલા ને લાગે છે ભક્તિની ભુખ, પ્રભુ પ્રેમમાં પાગલ થઈ, મલિયું હતું કબીરજી,   મીરાબાઇ ને એ સુખ.

હે નાથ, મનમાં મારા સદૈવ ઉઠતી રહે હરિ નામની લહેર, માંગુ છું શાંતિ અને આત્માનુ સુખ
