Happy New Year 2021

 This year restricted us in ways

 we never would have thought,

It gave a time to think, to pause

To many it bought sadness a lot

There were times we were blessed,

Realizing we had food on table,

A place to sleep, to hope, to rest

Someone to love, and health stable.

With all seen and done till now

As we all move ahead in unison

Remember the good and the bad,

But don't ever forget the Lessons.

Happy New Year everyone😇

- Thought By Me

The flowers of Gulmohar

So My Mom got small plants of 'Gulmoher' home.

People told her, it won't be of much use since Gulmoher flowers never grow in vases.
She heard them, but she didn't lose her enthusiasm.

She got the soil changed, trimmed the stems,    nurtured them and cared for them for months.
One fine day, Flowers of Gulmoher bloomed in those vases.

Nurturing to achieve Excellence is my Mom's Core Skill. She made an engineer, a journalist and a wild life researcher out of 3 mediocre girls for whom she was told very much the same things.

But she Knows...
Love, Care and Faith can achieve Miracles.

We don't need a Women's Day

When u make fun of our
discomfort in a crowd,

You don't know the sleazyness
We have dealt with around,

You think we've had an easy way?
We don't need a Women's Day
-----
You can joke about our clothes
How much we have in number,

But you don't know we have to
Figure ways to not be  vulgar

There is a roving man's eye always
We don't need a Women's Day
--

Be dutiful, keep a low profile,
Wear decent clothes, keep ur shame

Don't do this, don't do that yet
Threats to women are the same

Learn the 'Not to get Raped' ways,
We don't need a Women's Day

---
If you really want to do truly
Something for us in some way

Lookout for the lone females
You get to meet every day,

Teach your sons 'Respect' everday
Till then,
We Really Don't need a Women's Day.

Thought By Me

Heart broken by the 'Justice delayed'  in Nirbhaya case.
Its totally not a Happy Women's Day this time.
