Midnight

At the stroke of midnight for most the date changes but for some it's life that changes.
every new day has a new story to be penned,
every new day has a new picture to be painted,
every new day has a new song to be composed .
But, for some at the stroke of midnight it is the time for a eulogy to be written in their memory. 
At the stroke of midnight for many a new life starts.
In the middle of night a new hope is born,
in the middle of night a new milestone is set to be achieved,
in the middle of night an unsolvable riddle , a mystery is solved.
But, for some in the middle of night an obituary note is inscribed on the headstone of their grave.
At bewitching hour for many destiny is jotted down with golden letters,
at bewitching hour for many certain blessings wait to see the light of the day.
at bewitching hour for many something novel and enriching is going to be produced.
But for some unfortunate ones at bewitching hour final decree is scribbled down with black letters and it's made sure that nib of the pen is broken.
Whatever may be in store at wee hours should be accepted without protest,
since the Almighty chooses the priviledged ones to taste the bitter,
 to bear the worst,
 to face the hardships,
to bear the distance, 
 to face the rejection and dejection
 to endure the pain of separation from the dearest ones,
to sail through the sleepless nights with the fortitude not all can boast of.

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...
