Let's Ponder

Let's view,
Let's review,
Let's probe,
Let's ponder,
Let's in the lane of memory wander......

Seven continents,
 Seven wonders,
Seven seas,
More than 8.7 million species.

Six types of forests
Tropical, Mediterranean, Deciduous , Coniferous and Evergreen rain forests.

Four types of landforms
Mountains ,hills, plateaus and plains.

Four types of deserts
Subtropical , Coastal ,Cold winter and polar deserts.

Five different types of weathers 
Sunny, cloudy ,snowy ,windy and rainy....

Beautiful flora and fauna...
Endowments of The Prime Mover Almighty are multifarious and much more than many ...

Many was many 
As long as there wasn't any concept of money.
Money which in this day and age is considered to be sweeter than the nector or the honey ...

All species took
Only as much which was their due.
But there is one species which has disfigured the Earth's countenance ,
Which has discolored the Earth's beautiful hue....

Who has the brain
To think, to scheme,to justify ,to defy and to deny,
To take, to make and break,to steàl , to rob and to destroy ....

Whatever was a bliss
Was made to look hideous by him who has proclaimed himself to be the crowning glory .
But sadly whose ways are ruthless , lethal and gory.... 

By whom
Forests are cleared
Concrete jungles are reared,
At whose behest 
Natural and organic has taken a backseat ,
Pesticide fed high breed crop is grown..

But for human creed
There is no end to his greed .
His palate ,his hunger is deeper than the deepest well
Which nothing or no-one can satiate.....

From cow to hen
From monkey to donkey
From worms to crabs
From fish to snakes
From rats to bats
He has the capacity to eat them all.....

What to talk of devouring them raw
While they being still warm with life
He can gulp and chew using his denture in place of knives and utensils...

Instead of counting blessings 
Humans accumulated curses

Nuclear weapons
Chemical warfare

Countless ailments
Cancer, AIDS
Multiple flues
Swine,Bird or Avian
Deadly viruses like
Ebola, Zika and the latest Corona.....

Corona which has halted
All his trams
Metro , bullet trains and all his aeroplanes...
Corona  has brought to a standstill though may be for some time.... warning bells have been rung to show humans their true place....

To bring home the idea that he may try to act smart and play cleverly his role...
Yet in reality he is no better than the mice...
As now to save his skin 
He has only one way out which is to isolate ,to shut himself in his house or hole.......
Otherwise God knows would there be anyone left on this planet to count the corona toll............

Working Mom

  The title of this write-up may make no sense and might seem whimsical to some. Yet, I couldn't think of any other, though I did try to run the horses of my mind for hours to replace it with a better one. Anyhow, its content, I hope, is worth reading. This may sound contrary to me,a language teacher who always guided  pupils to choose eye-catching and gripping titles for their work. Yesterday, a phone call from my twenty-one-year-old daughter led to a discussion  about the parents’ rights over children. I, being a mother, feel that a mother—being the carrier of her baby in the womb for nine long months and then bringing the baby into this world with unimaginable pain has rights to advocate. I told her about how difficult it is for a mother to stay away from her children, especially toddlers. I shared with her the hardest choice I had to make when she was just one and a half years old and my elder child was  three. It was one of the toughest years of my marriage....

When Skill Meets Determination:A Salon, A Story and a Salute

Since time immemorial, both men and women have wished, ventured, and craved to look good, better, and sometimes the best. In every nook and corner of the world, whether in a bustling city, a quiet suburb, or a small village, salons and beauty parlours stand as testimony to this universal desire. With each generation, the dependence on such services has grown, shortcuts have become acceptable, and professional grooming has turned into a necessity rather than a luxury. This observation isn’t a conclusion drawn from research; it is born from personal experience with my twenty-one-year-old daughter. Having recently begun to manage her life independently, she is particular about her appearance and outlook. For the past three years, she has been living abroad and returns home every December for a month. During this time, she sweetly wishes to be pampered in every possible way. One such indulgence is getting her hair washed and blow-dried at a salon so that her curtain bangs remai...

Silence

Silence is serene. Silence is solace. In several ways, silence saves the savage soul. Silence is static, strong, like sky-kissing mountains circling a sleepy hill town. Silence is somber when it stems from sadness. Silence strives to sleep over sickening strategies. Silence confers the childlike sleep upon the soulful, while it steals the peace of the soulless. Silence smiles and silences all conjectures. For a few, silence is a sweet remedy; for others, silence is a malady. For some, silence is a question impossible to crack. For others, silence is the answer to every crux. For some, silence is a shield. For others, the sharpest knife, the searing scythe. Most times, aparently silence saves bonds. At times, it breaks them into forms unrecognizable. Silence wears the face of a silent sage, yet stands indisputed as  a symbol of untamed rage. Life screams. Death silences. silence is a voice in itself, raising walls too high for unwanted noise to climb. Silence is a misunderstood path...
