Examination of Life

Sessions on sessions
Start and end.
Classes after classes
come and go. 
The young,  vibrant visages of the students glow.
Beginnings are stress free. 
Alas! That joy isn't there to stay forever. 
Tests after tests,
units after units,
Periodics after periodics,
Mid Term to Pre- Board,
Pre- Board to Final,
life of students have so many gears.
From Kindergarten to Primary,
Primary to Middle, 
Middle to Higher,
Higher to Higher Secondary, 
passing classes after classes,
a child has to grow.
Challenges are thrown 
which are sometimes easily ,
Sometimes with a little effort are met.
Pressure is put
and Pressure is handled. 
Ultimately the small shoe size converts to the standard size.
Out of school premises soon the child realizes,
that from the pond he has taken a leap into a river,
The river of a back breaking competition.
The tougher is the examination at this juncture,
Since , the toughest is yet to be savoured.
Years after years skills are gained,
and whichever is the first opportunity to open the golden gate is grabbed.
Time is to mint the money 
While, life seems sweeter than the honey.
But,  wait ,wait, wait because within a month one is aware,
That this time plunge is out of the river straight into an ocean.
The ocean full of crocodiles and sharks 
Which are round the clock eyeing upon them to gulp them if they fail to make their mark .
Targets after targets are set,
deadlines after deadlines are defined.
Somehow,  almost all learn and before they could realize become a sprinter of a never ending race.
If  professional life is managed well
personal life gets affected. 
If expectations of all are met,
One's own dreams and desires are crushed.
Gradually this exam is also cleared,
when how to make a perfect balance is comprehended and implemented , at this toughest juncture. 
It's that point where if once a student halts and turns
to take a break, 
to inhale a breath, 
 nostalgia sets in
and by now a grown up person  realizes that life so far as a whole has been a battlefield difficult to win.
Then one ponders and wonders
wasn't life far so smooth, 
far so cool,
When in routine only one dress was worn i.e.the tidy school uniform ?
When there was always someone to teach and guide.
When there was always a bell to remind ,
Which was the right moment to move to the next subject.
The examinations  once they feared the most were so simple and easier to pass,
when syllabi was fixed,
When parents were there to take care of everything and all students had to do was to comb and set their hair.

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...
