Lamb's Query

"Oh! Shepherd my lord
Where are you heading me in this ferocious storm?",
 The Little lamb's eyes had the sturdy glitter even during the visible upheaval around.
It was all the outcome of the unflinching faith that he bore in his tiny heart that
whatever may happen the robust arms of the Shepherd will as usual prove his sheath.
Since the little one was born those arms had  constantly guarded him from the strong winds and hounds.
As long as, he was held high by his vigorous Shepherd the lamb was blindfolded by a staunch trust that all pieces would fall in their respective places.
The Little one wasn't  worldly wise to fathom the plain fact that one outgrows the cradle be it of hands or wood.
The time was ripe when the Great Shepherd had to be ready to handle the newborn the other little lamb.
Since, he has others in queue as well to be fathered.
Before he could apprehend 
the Little lamb for the first time touched the uneven surface of the chosen wilderness, 
Still the faith in the hand that had just let him down was unfaltering and sound.
He looked up in dismay, 
But the good old Shepherd was already on His way.
The Little lamb for a while tried to follow the vanishing silhouette behind,
But soon he tripped and shrilly cried in vain,
he had no anticipation that what awaited him was the greatest pain.
The comfort zone,
his safe heaven was just a mirage, 
The real life was going to be for him for sure a strife in the wild,
Since the wilderness had hidden challenges, 
The grass of course was fresh and green
But wolves were the undisputed rulers of the deadly wilderness. 
The only two visible outlets were either to submit to the voracious wolves,
or to hide his skin behind the savage growth.
The third one the invisible one was the most difficult to tread upon.
It was to brave the outcome and fight out with his fate,
by shunning his basic soft ways.
The Little lamb had still the unanswered query if he had to be left aloof to scuffle why so far he was taken care of?
Little one had the little knowledge that he couldn't stay little forever.
He had to grow and grapple ,
Plummet and ascend,
and the principle of the wild, ' Survival of the fittest' he had to comprehend,
and that only then the salvation could be hauled in that cruel wilderness.

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...

Fire

Fire, fire, fire, Can I dare to beg of you to be hired? Hired by someone as fragile as me, A timid soul, afraid to set herself free. I know I am too timid to dream of taming you; It is idiosyncratic, perhaps, to think this through. It is in no way wise to walk these lines, Yet your fierce companionship my spirit designs. I want you by my side to help me burn away All that is negative, all that leads astray; All the weeds in the dying, diminishing garden of my life, All the bitterness, sorrow, and silent strife. The effigy of greed, of need, and all that dares To kill fine human values and replace them with snares, Needs to be set on fire, yet I feel My weak bones lack such divine zeal. Though I aspire to rise like a phoenix from my ashes, To emerge renewed after life's cruel clashes, For that, you must become my ally, A force within that will never let me die. Fire, you who are a symbol of both death and resurrection, Of destruction, creation, and sacred transformation, You graciou...

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...
