Dear Daughter


You are born
As a baby
I am born
As a Mother

You needed Care
Your mother to be there
I grew responsible
I had you to share

You were naughty
Always wanted me to play
I relived as a child
To stay Happy Everyday

You wanted me to teach u craft
Brought my talent out in art
You wanted me to dance
My deep rooted hobby, u gave me a chance

You wanted all my time with passion
I gave away myself to you
Forgot all worries & tension
You wanted to go out & play
I got loving friends everyday

You got attractive and received people’s grins
I was known by you as a mother of twins
You wanted to go out and play
I got new society friends to meet everyday

I owe this peace and happiness to you
Our home full of laughter and giggles all through
You are my lifetime friend and your love is true
I want to bestow all my love and GOD be with you

You are growing everyday
Being a child to a girl
I am growing everyday
Being a woman to a mother

Are You Working ?

Are You Working? ......In any casual gathering, party, meeting, the inevitable question hits me sometimes like a lightening instantly after a name exchange or so in few secs and sometimes it slithers like a serpent after a chat of few minutes of introduction etc.….And now when I get attacked, I am prepared,  I start with my historical background to earn some respect for my present status of being just a housewife and gradually declare my current status…. So are you working? A woman mostly befitting the 'working' criteria asks! Oh yes, more than ever! I am working 200%....Although I have worked for 10 years in IT but now as a mom of twins I am working more than I have ever worked and please note that there is pure heartfelt joy in this current work. With no complaints and lot of love as remuneration. What about you? Are you working? I usually ask to be courteous and feed the ego.. I am an investment banker, a program manager etc…and the answer comes with a proud po...

Homeless

This post is written to follow the theme of experience with ‘ Encountering the Other in Language / Place’ on the BluePrintReview Blog carnival( http://www.blueprintreview.de/lapjoin.htm ) , emphasizing on the other, and in the process of seeking, a different perspective evoked where the other-ness could not be found. Picture credits - From Freedom Collection on Favim.com Where do I belong? What place, what language? What is foreign to me? I am here Always was, I am ancient I was a volcano, a boulder A fish, a sparrow or a squirrel Today, I am a girl You make me bow Attach me with a custom God Fence me, limit me Introduce me to fear Free me, let me fly I am a cloud A rootless, homeless floater Of no shape, no race, no color I just change, stay forever Don’t tie me With your sacred thread No sprinkling of holy water From the purest world I have emerged Been tied to the strongest Chord of umbilical Into t...
