An Angelic Star

On March 28, seven decades ago
Pre-eminent Lord with His pious hands
plucked an angelic, the purest, the brightest star from His supreme galaxy which had long adorned the crest of paradise and made him go.
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.
The angelic star would superficially bloom
constantly while subjected to the greed, jealousy, heartlessness,cruelty and pretence and would inwardly gloom.
While sucking life's lustre from the angelic star all his four crystal balls grew rosier and brighter.
Oblivious to the fact that only companion of the God's star was comprehending that he was gradually turning pale, his sap was drying drop by drop.
The Pre-eminent might have realized two decades ago that His Angel, His innocent star had already borne more than what was his share.
Therefore, He pulled the invisible string of His making which made the Angelic star move.
Shocked, bewildered,shattered and broken,
Four stars grown mature in an instant that day felt cheated.
They cursed the Almighty for a while
gathering  pieces of their hearts moved on the lit trail left by the departed Angelic Star.
The angelic star who now shines in the Heaven....
I doubt doesn't even realise that his traces, his four shadows round the clock for him pine since long and long.

Papa

One more year has slipped by Of course, now there are no more audible cries. Yet, the pain of your departure is still acutely strong, Nothing can be done to rectify twenty two years old wrong, When you were quiet aware of the chiming of your death gong. And decided to suddenly without any prior intimation to be forever gone. And those final twenty four hours seemed to be so heavy and long, when from human form you were turned into ashes who was once so strong. Alas! that day,  It wasn't you who were solely  gutted in that so called holy fire, So much more was turned into coal and tar, Your younger ones' innocence and elder ones' desires were with you for a while gone. With you gone, Suddenly the warm gusts of this dreary world were chasing your progeny. But law of life is to keep going, Day or night, Dawn or dusk, Alone or with people around, With or without you, Life moved on and is still moving. But though physically missing  Yet, you haven't been completely forlorn....

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...

Mom

Motherhood is the most beautiful and satiating moment of every woman's life. The mammoth task of rearing a child becomes the sole driving force behind every woman once she attains motherhood.One of the most beautiful moments of my life was also undoubtedly when l had 21 years ago seen the face of my first born for the first time and another was when the Almighty had blessed me with my younger born 19 years back. Since then the centre of my life became the two children born to me. Day in and day out a silent prayer for their health and well-being goes on in my conscience, and that's what every mother does. My profession the sublimest one i.e teaching has mostly female staff who have a strong motherly instinct and are thus able to relish strong bond with the students. Present day teaching demands rigorous in-service trainings. The teachers like me attended various workshops from time to time in order to enhance their skills. During these workshops we got to interact with the teac...
