World of Words

Sitting in my room,
Squatting on my bed ,
Digesting the fact that solitude if limitless is not less than venom,
Staleness of the world was all around.
Is there anywhere where true solace could be found?
My thoughts were raging and roaring ,
The words of pessimism were shrouding the words of optimism ,
The words of optimism were as if hiding under the sad quilt of stillness.

Loftiness of the vocabulary of thoughts pushed me out of the queer madness.
The world of words was loud,
Defining and redefining itself.
I pondered how many words are piled on the humanity's shelf.
Words are multifarious,
Each and every word is a dexterous player
With a specific effect, purpose and an exquisite role to play.

Words can be cruel, words can also be kind.
Words can be bitter, words can also be sweet.
Words can be derogatory, words can also be motivating.
Words can be killing , words can also be soothing and healing.
Words can be devastating , words can also be creative.
Words can be fatal, words can also be saviour.
Words can be scathing, words can also be appreciative.
Words can be cold, words can also be warm.
Words can be scorching and scornful, words can also be cooling and balming.
Words can be misleading, words can also be elevating.
Words can be foolish and foul, words can also be full of wisdom and respect.

Words can cause tears, words can also bring smiles.
Words can break bonds, words can also give birth to life long relations.
Words can cause mutiny, words can also call a truce.

Words if used with caution are no less than a bouquet , a bouquet of fresh flowers perfumed and vibrant.
But if it's otherwise and we don't take precaution while picking the appropriate words.
They are not less than a bullet or a sword i.e. relation slayer and peace robber.

Selection of words foretells what one would be ;
A follower or a leader.
Someone to be avoided or to be made a favorite.
Someone despicable or dear.

And when dear all you'll go through this verse
A feeling for sure you might nurse,
That this piece of poetry is nothing but use of antonyms and synonyms,
A clever play of words but for a few like its scribe it's the thoughtful world of words explored in solitude without being thoughtful and tricky.

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...

Silence

Silence is serene. Silence is solace. In several ways, silence saves the savage soul. Silence is static, strong, like sky-kissing mountains circling a sleepy hill town. Silence is somber when it stems from sadness. Silence strives to sleep over sickening strategies. Silence confers the childlike sleep upon the soulful, while it steals the peace of the soulless. Silence smiles and silences all conjectures. For a few, silence is a sweet remedy; for others, silence is a malady. For some, silence is a question impossible to crack. For others, silence is the answer to every crux. For some, silence is a shield. For others, the sharpest knife, the searing scythe. Most times, aparently silence saves bonds. At times, it breaks them into forms unrecognizable. Silence wears the face of a silent sage, yet stands indisputed as  a symbol of untamed rage. Life screams. Death silences. silence is a voice in itself, raising walls too high for unwanted noise to climb. Silence is a misunderstood path...
