The Woman

During Peace
Delicate as a bubble,
Fragrant as a flower,
Translucent as mist,
Alleviating as a shower,
Divine as a deity,
I am a woman.

During Turmoil
Ferocious as a fire,
Robust as a volcano,
Stout as a rock,
Savage as a storm,
Untameable as a flood,
Wild as a tigress,
I am a woman.

During quest
Inquisitive as an innocent child,
Sharp as an eagle,
Versatile as a penguine,
Colourful as a rainbow,
Dynamic as seasons,
I am a woman

During spiritual behest
Vast as a desert,
Deep as an ocean,
Calm as a sage,
Serene as a hermit,
Pure as a prayer,
I am a woman.

During hour of crisis
Strong as a fort,
Protective as a shield,
Reliable as unshakeable faith,
Firm as a resolution,
Personification of courage,
Queen of stealth,
I am a woman.

Glimmer of hope,
Light of the institution called family,
Captain as well as anchor of the ship christened a home.
I am the creator,
I am the curator,
I am the benefactor,
I am the sculptor of the civilizations,
I am a woman.

In this world full of negativity,
 l am the gust of optimism .
In this world full of pain and misery,
I am the  cure the real elixir.
In this world full of want and greed ,
I am the incarnation of sublime sacrifice and Charity.
In this world full of venom,
I am the only antidote, 
I am a woman.

I was carved to create, to paint, to design, to direct, to dictate, what is the best and perfect,
Because l am a woman.

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...
