Let’s talk… Dad

I fell down
And you held me
Wiping my tears
You taught me how to fight my fears…

I crawled, walked and finally ran
When I turned back, I saw you
Cheering and clapping
Saying, come on my child – you can..!

I never asked –
How have you been?
For no one more stronger
Than you, I have seen…!

When days were hard
And ends were very tough to be met
You ensured I had enough of everything
And you – were hungry yet…!

When I had to lean
You gave me your shoulder
When I became weak
You made me stronger and bolder…!

You never said, you loved me
But your actions said it all.
You were ready to sleep on the ground
To ensure I do not ever fall…!

Never did I make any efforts
To know your path and pain
But I always silently noticed
The wrinkles on your forehead caused by the stress and strain…!

I knew you wont share your story
For you fear, it will reduce your glory
But to me you will always be the same
Struggle and loss are just a part of the game…!

So today dad,
Lets come a step closer
Lets peep a bit deeper
Lets talk a bit longer…!

I have always seen you bare the load
I suggest you pass some to me
Together we can pull it better, may be
Give me a chance and we will see…!

I love you dad
Let me say it loud
I am proud to have you in my life
For you are the best man in my life’s crowd..!

The bicycle of your relation
Needs a bit of oiling
Lets release off the tension
Come on Paa, lets have a chat,
the weather is wet outside and
the tea to accompany our chat is hot and boiling…

I am..

I am laughter
I am the cry..
I am truth
I am the lie..!

I am me
And not what you see..
I am much more
Than known to you four..!

I am deep
I am peace..
I may be stressed
But may still look at ease..!

I am glory
I am fun..
I may be suffering
And choose to show none..!

I am divine
I am pure..
I may be hurt
And still wish to be your cure…!

I am so you
You are so me..
Then why should we assume
With only so much – we can see?

I am tough
I am hard..
I may feel scared
Still want you to have a guard..!

I am water
That takes its shape..
I am of the colour
That the situation has to drape…

You judge me not
For I may be more…
Always remember –
Each of the wave experiences
A different sight of the shore..!!!

Now I know…

Now I know
My walls speak
Forming a tune – with that leak…!!

Now I know
Why my plants die,
Not having anyone to wave them a hi…!!

Now I know
There are cracks on my roof?!
I am staying at home – this is a proof..!!

Now I know
How to sweep and cook
At my own house, where- and for what to look..!!

Now I know
The cost of oil and rice
Now I know
How to pick whatever is worth the price…!!

Now I know
Shopping for home utilities –
Can be exciting too,
But not really
When you wait at the billing queue..!!

Now I know
Why mom often calls (2)
She must be tired
Of speaking to the walls..!!

Now I know
Why my dad is irate
Dealing with retirement
After so many years of being in a busy state..!!

Now I know
My best friend is me
Yeah its me..!
I am by myself
Whatever the condition be…!!

Now I know
That when silence sings
You will no more enjoy
The buzzers and telephone rings…!!

Lockdown it is
That has made me realize
Life is so exciting
Loving and nice . !!

Thank you papa God
For you made me find
The only good thing
That a virus could bring…!!

So my dear friends,

While you are still locked down
You should look around
For many sweet memories that were lost
May now be found…!!!

And with this thought
I leave you right there
Stay distant to all
While with memories you stroll…!!

Womanhood

They denied us a stage
We created a whole platform for ourselves
They denied education
We formed separate universities for ourselves..!!

They said u bleed
Hence weaker you are
With our own will
We showed them we are at-par..!!!

They said oh girl
You can’t match up to us
We managed to lead them
Without any fuss..!!!

They tried to control
And said u have limit
We said we can Excell everywhere
And proved to win in any field be it..!!!

They put us down
We stood back stronger
They wanted to rule
But hey.. a Queen is already a ruler…!!!

They have always put hurdles
We crossed them with ease
Hey society –
Do you need some of our courage on lease!!! 😛

We women are power
We women are strength
Kudos to womanhood
Kudos to each one – by us who stood..!!!

As friend, as spouse,
As runner of the house,
As daughter, as mom
For her family she can bare any storm
As student, as a colleague
She puts her best leg at every league..!

Many roles to play
But she royally makes her way
She has proven herself enough
Regardless of what people have to say..!

Lets wish her all the best
For she demands only equality with the rest
Lets not pull her down anymore
Let her display all the talent she has in store..!!!
