Challenges For Our Nation

I salute my nation since l am a proud lndian.
An lndian fortunate to be born in the biggest democracy.
An lndian blessed to tread upon the land of the great hermits and sages.
All the above is what we have learnt since infancy.
But, don't you agree our India has still a long way to walk ,
If in terms of meeting the scales of international progress we talk?
A question constantly rages and torments us all,
When would we greet that golden appointed hour when our great nation would become a super power?
Believe me if we dive deep and down,
Trust me if we try to delve and draw a conclusion,
We would for sure comprehend that lndia our beloved nation has not one but multitudes of obstacles.
India our sweet nation has not single but multifarious challenges to brave and erase,
To be on top of the pedestal to be one among the super powers.
To count a few stumbling blocks,
The first and foremost challenge that needs immediate operation is the fact that our nation hosts the biggest army of ill-fed starving people around the globe.
The gap between 'haves and haves' not which is with every passing second increasing,
is of course  not really so very easy to bridge.
Second is 'me and my' on the social and communal grounds.
Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent Almighty must be in tears to witness the clashes in name of  the caste and religion.
Until and unless our nation is strong enough to break the religious shackles ,
There is no chance for it to be on top of the world's topmost glorious pedestal.
Third is the vested interest of those political parties which rather than working as a chain to connect the whole nation,
Work and act as a chain saw to sever all connections to feed their filthy interests and motives.
 Fourth terrible block at present is the throat slaying inflation,
Where a common man is unable to buy even potatoes and onions.
Where the price of petrol and diesel is sky rocketing.
And it has become difficult for vehicles to run on the roads,
 Is it possible in near future for us to book a seat among the developed mighty nations?
Fifth and one of the most frightening  block is that huge chunk of  the young incompetent men power.
Which is trapped in a virtual world,
Which is prisoner of electronic cells,
Which loves late night parties, pubs and drugs,
Which is wasting in fun and frolic its each and every precious hour.
Last but not the least spirit crushing challenge before our nation is to handle its boundaries  the land around which is occupied by the neighbouring nations ,
A few of which have always daggers drawn towards us,
Who off and on cause atmosphere of emergency in our nation by their efforts of insurgence.
But here we must conclude 
That challenges in front of our nation may be countless but success without strife and struggle is meaningless and fragile.
Let our nation's reins be in the hands of wise and prejudice free by being responsible voters.
Let's be ready to extend our helping hand for the poor and down trodden.
Let's be ready to guard our borders in hour of need.
Let's be ready as citizens to shoulder the responsibility by being sensible.
Let's be simultaneously  aware of our rights and let's be keen to perform our duties then we will soon see that dawn when our nation will sure be holding the magnificent crown of being a superpower.

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...
