Lamp Of Hope

Keep the lamp of hope lit
As power of silent prayer is
Unfathomable and impossible to beat.

Initially you'll feel you are forlorn
And your path, your terrain is uneaven, rough and tough.
Remember, hundreds of hands are folded in prayer and will brighten up your way.

So, keep the lamp of hope lit.

Autumn may be around
But it can't forever stay
As spring will for sure bloom and come your way.

Don't forget to keep the lamp of hope lit.

Howsoever, strong may be hurricanes or storms,
Good wishes of not one but many will be your shield.
Therefore, infront of dense darkness of dismay you don't have to yield.

That's why keep the lamp of hope lit.

Remember, even tightly closed doors are helpless and have no power
Remember, that not even hundreds of hinges on them can bar the light.
As the chaste ray of hope will trace and make its way from crevices and it will reach out to you .....

Just make sure to keep the lamp of hope lit .....

    Apt vaccine pen-demic booster you have injected via your poetic syringe filled with optimum blend dose of prayers & wishes generating antibodies that will for sure not only travel the crevices but will break unlock the hinges that we ourselves kept locked..
    For sure the dose is time tested... Who says we need to invent one....?? I took one while reading the verse.. Keep healing with your blog medicine potions as we fry on the pan.....the devil pandemic..... with your medicinal poetic pen...and making us realize we shouldn't self-quarantine ourselves..

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...

Tribute to Father

TRIBUTE TO FATHER IS AN EFFORT TO GIVE WORDS TO ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES IN DAV (ONCE MY HAPPY WORKPLACE), JASWINDER SIR'S FEELINGS WHO OF COURSE, ACKNOWLEDGES A MOTHER'S CONTRIBUTION BUT WISHED A FATHER MUST ALSO GET HIS DUE IN HIS CHILDREN'S UPBRINGING. I HOPE JUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE THROUGH  THIS SMALL EFFORT.  At times ,cold as ice yet comforting and balming, hard as coconut but sweetest at core that's a father's pretenceless heart, sturdy as a mountain an unshakeable support, rough and rugged as a road that for sure leads to  the beautiful resorts, Such is the beauty of a father's love. Love that makes no audible noise, That mostly abstains from public display of affection, But round the clock makes sure that the fire beneath the hearth of his home shouldn't ever extinguish, Works like  an ox, Doesn't mind what it takes blood, sweat or tears Every price for his little ones' smiles he is willing to pay.  Often misunderstood,  often underestimated,  oft...
