Distance

Ire was roaming out in the desolate street,
hand in hand with the haughty sarcasm and an equally hefty ego.
The lane of love it had chosen never to traverse again.
" Bridge the gap before it's too late", screamed someone from behind.
" who are you to deliver me a sermon?
Are you a voluntary preacher?" Ire screamed in indignance which is its signature style.
" I am the mighty distance. The more you  feed me the fatter l get," Distance smiled,
"The fog of doubt and distrust are two aides
that make me stout."
'A stitch in time saves nine' is the golden quote that we all need to be reminded on daily basis.
Once you go far 
Far from your heart's sole delight 
It would become harder for you to get back nearer,
howsoever, you may then with your destiny fight.
Life is short 
With our years counted.
Foes are countless while friends are few,
Sorrows are innumerable while joys are scanty.
Flower bedecked path is just a small  patch since highway of life in general is made up of thorns.
Try like a drowning man who catches at a  straw,
try to mend the wall of your heart till you breath your last though it may one day break like a twig.
If by chance distance is inevitable and unavoidable, 
Make sure it doesn't control your heart and soul,
Because then you will be having a beautiful cabinet in nook of your battered heart,
 full of wonderful memories to keep you moving till the day when like a leaf in the autumn season you will forever fall.

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...
