A Mother's Pride

I could hold you in my arms for all of my life, I could see you smile all the while.
Your constant chatter could be my sweetest song, Your confident stride - A Mother's Pride!


Seems just yesterday, when you entered my little world,
Filled it up with joy, pride and happiness & countless cheers!!!


Never in my life was I so sure of wanting anything, except a presence of someone so special as is you!
You turned my life's little canvas into a colorful grandeur with your love, laughter and never ending natter!


It was only a wish I craved for, A wish to be blessed with an Angel to call my own,
An angel, whose compassion I loved, but the devil in her I adored!


We spoke, we laughed, we even fought & also cried. Only the two of us, made just for each other.
We cared, we shared even the innermost turmoils and came thru it all - like one victorious pair!!!


It was fun - all of it. It was a gleeful pleasure to watch your faltering step then and
It is an undaunted pleasure to see your confident stride now!


Between that faltering step and this confident stride,
I've witnessed your every milestone with the same twinkle in my eyes a and smile on my lips!!!


Your strength has been immense, your compassion is paramount,
When without a question to ask or a word to grudge you reached beyond!


Today, you have ventured into a bigger world, A world where you have to fly alone.
You carry with you the values we nurtured, the strength you garnered, the compassion we tended & the confidence you mustered!!!


There is no stopping you today, you have the spirit, the attitude and the Blessings-
Go far & beyond, spread your wings & soar up high and I, as always would look up with a twinkle in my eyes and a smile on my lips!


I know things would change, but the equation would never! I would still look out to hold you in my arms,
And long to see that beautiful smile, listen to that beautiful song....
When you come striding down my path with that confident stride, your home would always be your own,
When you would just want to rest your head on my lap and I would want to hold you just for a while :)

    A true and pure relationship where our smile and tears are connected with their happiness and sorrow
    Here love turns worry and care
    Still we want to see her open wings higher and higher in the sky

जब माँ 'अंबर' बन जाती है.......

            A few months back we were fighting for Mom's survival...had been in a frenzy of medical ins and outs. Had clung to every ray of hope that any specialist gave, lapped up all the possible suggestions made by the best in the Medical fraternity, only to make her life qualitatively and quantitatively better...an experience that I plan to pen down on some rainy day.But all that came to an abrupt stand still on the beautiful early dawn of 26th December 2011... She couldn't step into a fresh New Year which was just a few days away.             T he days that followed had an array of relatives and friends dropping in and staying back, trying to ease out our pain. After all, losing both the parents in close duration is just so unfair! The condolences did help a lot, will always be grateful for those. One condolence that struck a chord, maybe forever, is from my bro-in-law, Vinit from Delhi, who just sat thru gazing at Mom's photo....took a paper and a pen, scribbled s

Democracy – a farce?

We in India take pride in belonging to the biggest democracy! How cool is that!!! We’ve the power to choose the people who’ll ru(i)n our country, have the ‘ baap’ of all powers - freedom of speech to express ourselves without any inhibitions and all the other privileged powers that come with belonging and living in a ‘democratic’ set-up. We have a microscopic view of all the things that happen at macro level, we fight for injustice that happens at the National level (yes, we do that…thankfully!), always look at the bigger picture and debate over larger issues that may or may not affect us. No harm at all, in fact it only proves, we are sensitive, kind, caring, empathetic,compassionate, conscious, logical, brave, articulate, sensible citizens who have only good in the heart and well being in the mind for others. What then happens to the above attributes closer home? Our homes are the screens where we get to see the real life pictures. On one hand we have a microsc

A little about me...

Words always fascinate me, the written ones more so! Love flirting with words & can have a life long affair...Have 3 passions - Writing,reading & the love for life. Life threw many challenges, tested my endurance & checked my loyalty but the love for it only grew stronger! My strength comes from within, I can feel it time & again...when during every twist & turn, I still stand tall & firm & after every bend, I still smile & laugh...God has been kind and I know, I am HIS most favored child ;) Combining my these 3 passions, I plan to start this journey of sharing them with you all & convert my lonesome walk into a fun filled carnival of sorts!
