A Painful Question

Oh! Pain can you tell me why are you so painful ?
I know to many the very first line would be no less than nonsense twaddle.
But l won't mind and to you pain my question would always be the same.
Why pain begets pain?
Why can't your topic if taken by someone under your grip be patiently taken by the rest?
Why your mere mention makes the people around spin in a competitive race?
A quest to prove that more than the one who mentioned your name whole of the world around is in acute pain?
Why when you find a new prey,
Why when you have a new target,
People around can't act as a comforting balm rather than searching for testimony of your presence in your fresh target's medical reports?
All fingers are pointed to the credibility of the lab or to the medicine prescribed by the physicist.
The person caged in your grip feels as if he has committed a crime and gallows to hang him are readied behind his back.
But there are a few diamonds in this world's painful coal mine.
It's the parents, siblings, life partner or true pals who can see your tears behind thick liner or Kohl and judge your pain behind make-up veil.
But this gem list mostly ends  as soon as it starts.
Now one last painful query dear pain
Why and how you become so vocal?
Why it's so difficult to conceal tip toe of your
Sandal's heel?
I have taken a lot of care to explain your explicit reign now in lieu it's my right to get a blessing from you the new guest in my bones and veins.
As l know human forms dwindle and crumble when their feet step in forties, you promise me strength to smile, to bear, to move , to face and fight  with you with fortitude while trying not to exhibit you publicly as long as it's possible.

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...
