Made His angelic star go and glow the earthly abode of a saintly couple. Years rushed by and in that abode the heavenly star with his aura created his own galaxy. Little did the angelic star realise that he was the sole reason of bringing smiles on the countenances of his companion and four little twinkling stars of his own galaxy. Tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes,famines or draughts of this myriad, evitable world he always bore on his back shielding his little ones. All hot gusts  bound towards his home The heavenly  star would bore quietly everytime loosing a little lustre. Always aspiring to make sure that his four stars would enjoy the bliss of cool breeze.

There was no hurry or worry after a tedious back breaking month. There was nothing pending at my work place. And, as far as my home front was concerned there wasn't any laundry mocking. Mocking to be tended nor there was any superficial household chore to curb my spirits any more. Realising well that ,that break, that leisure was not ever lasting but was like a miniature refreshing afternoon nap. Realising well that in a week there was going to be another U-TURN  and I won't find easily any nap or gap to give vent to my heartbeats by jotting down something , by removing my creative Pen's cap. My mind was blank as if my writer's instinct was in a famine  In the writer's soul there was a complete void or in terms of science there was a giant black hole. There was neither motivation nor imagination, there was no hint or clue from where to begin, there were no flowers or petals to make a garland, There were no beads to create a string. It was then when one of my dearest...

You were,you are and you will always be there, In the sunshine, In the sunshade, When day breaks and when the day is called off. You were,you are and you will also be there, Behind my smiles, Behind my tears, In all my joys and sorrows, During all my ups and downs. You were,you are and you will always be there. At times near, At times far, appearing and disappearing in fancies and fantasies, in thoughts and memories, You were, you are and you will always be there. Incarnation of the Almighty As parents,as siblings,as my kids As friends,as well wishers As my soulmate,as my life mate You are like Him the Prime Mover great You were, you are and you will always be there. Always giving ears even to what l don't say, Always doing even those things for me for which l don't ask for, Always forgiving and ignoring mistakes that l commit. You were, you are and you will always be there. Always there to hold me even before l fall. You who are as chaste and pure as fresh snow flakes. You who...
