MAA

Everyone has a story
She also has one
Dusky beauty and smiling tons
Her pockets are full of fun
Simple loving and beautiful she is
Ready to help and ready to sink
Solitude she likes,hopping around too
Full of life upto brink
Oceans may tremble
Earth may break
Her strength is never at stake
She keeps smiling
She keeps fighting
To see what is life
Look into her eyes
To know what is sacrifice
You have to live her life
Not everyone is lucky to have her
She is Mother of everychild
She is protective
She is possessive
Fighting for us
is what she has always done
Loving her is easy
And best thing to be done
Mothers are angels
And I have one






MMS


All of us have been through a common phase of being a student where we were taught about two things-one natural and the other man made.Everybody believes in the fact that natural things are made by God.For example-Trees,rivers,landscapes,water and one of the best of all living beings and man being the most intelligent of them.Talking about man made things we have many things like home,roads,bridges and one of the worst things is “Distinction” between people on different basis.These distinctions are caste,creed,religion,colour,thinking,good and bad deeds and many others.Every one of us is facing one or the other distinction everyday.Well this was just the introduction of what I wish to share because I want to remind everyone  about our ‘Utopic Society’.Our society has few norms and believes to judge people and their deeds.And it never forgives or understand those who commit mistakes.

From past few days I have been watching Gumrah (Channel V) and MTV Webbed(MTV).I am fond of these story based series.And after watching few episodes I felt the need to pen down my thoughts on what I have seen.My spectrum of thought rested on INTERNET.No I am not going to talk about its pros and cons.We are already aware.Rather I wish to talk about something else.I am talking about MMS(Multimedia Message Service).Its a trend these days.Making videos and uploading them for fun.But sometimes it takes away someones life.And this isn’t cool.


Todays youth and specially teenagers are very sensitive.They face many things in school and colleges like peer pressure,not being cool types tags,ugly looks,being a geek and many more.It may sound normal to us but for them it is not.These things leads to stress and to change there image they do things which ultimately lead them into a mess.Well I want to focus more on MMS.We might have heared about MMS being made of people around us and how it goes viral on web resulting in complete destruction of there life.


Tell me something… is there anybody on this planet who has not commited any mistake.The answer is ‘NO’.And its obvious no body wants to make fun of themselves.Like no one will upload there intimacy acts on web.Someone else who holds grudges with them will do so.


For people who are in a relationship can understand it better that they have some intimate moments with there partners.And they have it because they trust each other.What if someone breaks their trust?What is wrong at there part ?Is it that they trust someone or they get close?I guess nothing.It’s just few people have a tendency to cheat others and they think  its cool.They always forget ‘What goes around ,comes around’.It can happen to anyone ,anywhere,anyday.


90% people in this world criticise others for doing wrong things rather blame them if anything wrong occurs in their life.They get an abstract happiness in making fun of others unless the same thing happens to them.People understand things better when they face the same situation.I guess this is totally wrong.Sometimes truth is unseen and lie is what people believe in easily.


What is so special about human body I don’t understand.Eveybody knows what are the body parts and how they look.Still when you get to see them on web or MMS what makes it so exciting?Everybody is born naked.During our course of evolution we didn’t wear any clothes.God made us equal.It is we who covered our bodies.Then why is it an issue if u get to see it.


Why our society  is hypocrite? Why it is so judgemental?


No one wants to make fun of themselves.Why if something wrong happens to someone,we try to make there life more miserable by putting blames and making fun of them.Why can’t we ignore it and help them overcome there circumstances.They are already troubled.It can happen to anybody.It is perfectly alright because it just happened.Its “OK”.If you get time do read about Amanda Todd on google and try to understand what she went through.


Robert Frost said “The best way out is always through”.


I believe the greatest gift one can give to other is unconditional love and acceptance.And it is the most easiest and priceless thing in the world.It takes nothing.But a person who goes through all this should also understand that LIFE NEVER ENDS.It always gives a second chance.If you trust yourself you can overcome any mistake.You need to stand for yourself.


There is always a solution to any problem.If something wrong happens on net one can talk to their elders and specially parents.One can take help from police.One has to keep faith that this situation can be handled.For people who play with emotions of others are definitely not normal.They need help. If someone knows the difference between right and wrong that person will definitely not do anything wrong.But if someone doesn’t know it then who are we to judge it.What we need to do is make them understand this difference.Most of us have younger brother and sister.It is our responsibility to guide them about what is right and wrong.


If you are reading this just think what if all this happens to you and you are not at fault.So don’t watch such things or let others do.Dont make fun or judge others.They can be innocent.

A Meeting

Yesterday was a good day.I woke up late.My father was reading newspaper.My mother was busy in kitchen.My sister in law was knitting a sweater.Well I am waiting for an angel to come into our lives soon.I smiled.As I went outside I could feel cool breeze.It has just stopped raining.I went out to see the oleander tree infront of my house which is haven of few beautiful birds.Thats how my day started yesterday.

I came inside and had tea.

Mom:Go get ready fast we have to make a visit to Doctor.
Me:What I just woke up....Ok fine let me read newspaper atleast.
Mom:Always finding excuses lazy....
Me:Yawning and moving insisde out.Lets get ready.

So I got ready had breakfast.So I was on my way with Mom and Bhabhi.
Receptionist(To my Mom):Doctor is very busy today.She has to operate two cases after half an hour.Wait for sometime.We will let you know.Today many patients have come.
I am still yawning.

Mom:what about ultrasound?
Receptionist:The expert will come after 22nd Ma'm.
Mom:Where else can we go for ultrasound.
Receptionist:She named few places.
I am still yawning.In my mind[Whats wrong nobody's available these days]

Mom:Lets go to place X .
Me:Ok fine.As if I woke up from some dream.
We reached to a diagnostic centre.Took appointment.The receptionist over there asked to wait for an hour.

For a change I dropped my cell phone at home.Small talk started amongst me mom and bhabhi.It suddenly turne into group discussion when another lady jumped in.Topic was "My increasing weight".Everybody is busy giving tips how to loose weight.I am slightly unintrested now.I changed my seat and now I am sitting in front of a huge glassdoor.I could see many parked bikes,sky,people walking on pavement.I am an introvert so no point talking to strangers.I started observing people around me.

[Believe me group discussion is still on].

A lady with two childrens is sitting infront of me and she is just not intrested what her kids are doing.A young man is helping his grandfather to climb stairs.Few couples are chatting.Many people cming inside and going outside.

Now an hour has ended.Still we are waiting.My excitement to hear my would be nephew or neice heartbeat is getting down.If ever youve seen an utrasound going on you can probably understand.I wished to see the baby inside by Bhabhi's womb.But I have to wait.

I just turned my head too look at the gate.

A beautiful lady came inside with her son of 3 years of age.Trust me he was cute.I am fond of kids.He reminded me of my Nephew.I looked at my Mother.She smiled.
He sat with his mother a few seats away.He was energetic and lively.He caught my attention and I was smiling.My mood suddenly changed and I started enjoying his childlike innocence.
How cute.He looked at me and came near me. Two seats were vacant beside me.

Boy:Where should I sit?
Me:Sit beside me.He offered a handshake.I was amazed.I shaked hands with him.I took him in my arms and made him sit on my lap.I looked at her mother.She was smiling.Two mens came near his mother and sat beside her.Probably one was her husbandand the other one was a relative.

Me:What is your name?
Boy:My name is Y.
Me:In which school are you studying and which standard?
Boy:He answered my questions.
[I was lost in his innocence and was really happy with him]

Me:How many friends do you have?
Boy:Five.

[Meanwhile his uncle came and handed him a packet of chips.While his parents were busy talking.I thought his mother might have come for some diagnosis.His parents moved out and I could see them through window pain.They were a sweet couple.A handsome man and his beautiful lady.]

Me,my mom and bhabhi were busy talking to the kid.
Boy waved hand to his father.When I saw them I could see her mother crying and his father too.They were consoling each other and wiping their tears.I couldnt come to a conclusion.The man turned back and waved his son.I smiled too.

But what's wrong?

Nobody knows.

His uncle came in and said,"Come Son,lets go for the checkup".

I was shocked.What??I thought her mother might have come for an ultrasound or something else.What's wrong with this baby?He is too young.

Boy:[he looked at me with affection]Ill be back in two minutes.
Me:I couldnt say anything.What has happened to him?He is perfectly alright.Why his parents were crying?Now his uncle took him inside.I couldnt figure out which room he went into?
X-Ray,CT-Scan or somewhere else?

Meanwhile my Bhabhi's turn came for ultrasound.We had to go inside.The attendent asked me to move outside.I was seriously annoyed.I wished to see the baby.How rude these people are...Anyways I came outside and was searching for that cute little boy.I couldnt find him.I went inside.A technician was viewing images of an X-Ray.It seemed to be of a young child.It showed few black patches near his right chest and left ribs.I was fully concentrated on that image.I asked him what does this black patch mean?He said I dont know.

In my mind[What are you doing here then?]

He must be knowledgeable enough.He was simply not intrested in telling me.I figured out.Doctor came in and talked to him.Said something which was greek to me.I came outside.
I found that Boy's uncle going outside.M y eyes twinkled in hope if I could meet Y again.My mother came out with bhabhi and said lets go home.I will collect repots tomorrow.We reached near exit and to my happiness Y came inside in his uncle's arms followed by his parents.I looked at him happily.He was crying and was unwilling to go for another test.I said I am going baby say goodbye.He looked at me with tear filled eyes.He smiled an d said goodbye.

[I didnt want to leave from there.I was attached to him.But I had too]

I asked my mother to ask his mother what has happened to him.I waited outside.

My mother came out and said:There is a mass outgrowth near his left chest.Probably a tumor or cancer.I was dumbfounded.I looked inside but couldnt seee him.I said nothing to mom and bhabhi.I was on my way to home.I was still and silent.But my mind was not.

How come he is ill.He is just of 3 or 4 years of age.I could not do anything for him.I could not even hug him.My heart was full of sadness and pain.My mind stopped working.Why him?

I came back home and prayed to God.Please save him.[And if you are reading this pray for him.People say wishes work better than medicines.]

I just couldnt stop thinking about him.His face came infront of my eyes many a times.I am so helpless.I didnt discuss about it with anybody.And when nothing works only God can help I believe so.

[I know I ll never be able to meet him again.But I wish to see him someday roaming around my city at an older age.I may not recognise him[no chance].May be Ill be crossing a road and he is coming from the other side[young and handsome].My eyes might rest at him and next moment I am on the other side of the road.I might have forgotten everything then.But may be God is listening to me right now.]

Life is full of pain,sorrows and miseries.Still it promises to give back happiness and love.And thats how Life Go's On.A friend of mine told me whenever you are sad or find life meaningless just think you are not only for youserlf but for others too.You can help them.Bring a smile on somebody's face and you will find meaning of your life.Same way give some time to others.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Memory lane


Sitting beside the window,
Waiting for the dawn
Drizzle all around
A soft breeze ……
It pushed the door to my memory lane…
Leaving me with a smile

[FLASHBACK]
Lightening and thunderstorm...[dusk]
I have left for my nest
Accompanied with mates and heavy downpour…
Ohh! What a beauty?
The wildness of rain…
Complete chaos …but I am at peace.
Moving towards my nest and finally a few paces away…
A shadow appears…. a ‘Man’….soaked in rain,
Shivering in cold with a smile on his face….He says “Are you ok? I was worried.I have been waiting for you”
[I am numb ]
He is my “Dad”
….The  clock strikes 3....[wiping my face]
The smell of earth :so fresh,so pure!
[Soft breeze unlocks another door]
It was a bad day! really it was..
Heartbreaking are few truths
Gathering,I was,few pieces of my strength
Difficult it was to walk in rain...[submissive I am to its vigour]
Few paces proved to be miles
I left attempts and broke down
Realised why they say,
‘Rain will hide your pains’
But a soul in my nest knows it all
After a voyage I came back
All broken,shattered I am…
Trying to mask my state
Lying down…
[Submitting to the cycle of conscious and unconscious]
In conscious….I feel warmth of her closeness to me
She is beside me for me
Loving,protecting me..
Without questioning me…she told me’Hey its me’
She is my “Mother”
Its dawn...[I am back]
Finding the meaning of life..
Life is love-Enjoy it!
Life is a promise-fulfill it!
Life is an oath - value every relation you hold!
And priceless are Parents-treat them as God!





HOPE

It is like a see- saw
Sometimes up,sometimes down
So is time good or bad
Happiness and sorrows
Defining my mood.
But why I am so grave?
Infront of me are the open gates...
But why I am disturbed ?
That they might be closed when Ill reach near them
Such is my plight!
I am unable to express.
They say dont  run after happiness...its an illusion.
But what should I do to overcome my emotions?
Then I say to myself....
TIME FLIES....and things will change.

Sometimes..........

Sometimes words are small,
to say you are mine.
Sometimes words are small,
to say you are a beautiful part of my life.
Sometimes words are small, 
to say thank you for being by my side.
Sometimes words are small,
to say sorry for hurting you several times.
Sometimes words are small,
to explain how i feel when you are gone and when you are around.
I fight, I laugh with you.
I hate, I love you.
And I cry for you.
Sometimes words are small,
to make you realize what you are in my life............

P.S.Dedicated to my lovely bhaiya n didi

Self Realisation


I had never been into writing but today I feel the surge to write about something most of us forget to appreciate in our life i.e the "importance of our life"
I had many topics in my mind to pen down but I think most of us do not value oneself and people around consciously or subconsciously.Everyday we try to mask our fears,incompetency & in turn are carried away from our real self.We come across great lines and success stories of ideals but do we actually implement them in our lives.Do we try to improve our lives & of those around us?
Has anyone of us thought about 'valuing oneself' and appreciating what god has bestowed upon us?
We have become so pessimistic in our thoughts and approach that we always point out at the darker aspect of life-'what we don't possess',investing our time in activities which have no outcome.
Hardly few of us exploit their potentials to achieve what they exactly want.The determination,patience,will to succeed and hard work helps them to reach the zenith of success.
But the most important thing which they realize is there "self-worth" and worth of there surrounding.There quest to continuously improve themselves and make an attempt by helping those who are fighting with their misfortunes make them human.Everyone of us is provided with opportunities at different steps in our journey.Success lies in identifying the right opportunity in right time to succeed and this is achieved only when our lives are disciplined.
Our parents,siblings,friends and teachers guide us through difficult phases of our life.They makes us realize how we beautiful our life is and how we can make efforts to adorn life of those who need us.The crux is self realization of self worth.
We come across many people and situations which provide us with unforgettable lessons and experiences.It becomes the foundation of our metamorphosis in a complete human being.But the question lies in in our understanding of those lessons and in quality of humane we become-what we do for others and ourselves.
In yesterday's newspaper I came across an article which quoted about this year awardee for Peace Summit Award-'Roberto Baggio' an Italian footballer who turned into a social activist after his retirement from sports.Baggio who adopted Buddhism in late 80's has been at the summit of his career before turning his life towards a noble cause of humanity-'social service'.He made longtime efforts to raise funds for Haiti earthquake survivors.Worked for fighting against deadly bird flue.He also worked for the freedom of Aung San Suu Kyi(Myanmar's pro-democracy leader and Peace laureate)
Citing his example I want to emphasise and remind all of us about an individualistic approach in making an impression in life of those who needed his efforts to abolish their difficulties and generate an inspiration to live.Who can forget Mother Teresa's work for mankind.The philanthropists around us,who have continuously worked for others and realized their goals in life help us in appreciating our living and support system.
My question is -"When we have so much with and for us then why don't we direct our lives in the uplifting our dimensions and to satiate life of people around us"?
I have made an attempt through this write up to make everyone of us realize that we are living in a better condition from many of those even deprived of the basic requirements of life (like food,knowledge,home etc.) due to God's grace.So we should make an attempt to glorify life of those who need us an appreciate our own.
