A salute to Reshma

She is no soldier but she fights like one
She lost her eye to acid attack
But held on to her dreams.
The acid burnt her body
But wasnt strong enough to penetrate her spirit
She is the one who the world salutes and hates those bloody brutes

Her suffering and cries bring tears to my eyes
Her glory makes me feel proud of her
She is someone I look upto for courage
She makes me feel tiny infront of her valour

I salute all the women suffering her fate
I seek forgiveness on behalf of a system that fails to protect their rights
I pray the animals who did this to her may rot in hell forever
May no one go through this pain again ever

She walked the ramp as a fashion diva
She faced the paparazzi with elan
She unfurled the wings of her dreams
To live the life she deserves

I wish you all the very best young lady
May all your dreams come true
May all the nightmares you have suffered so far be far far behind you

Live life like a queen
Rule your kingdom of dreams
Be strong and spread your spirit
Making the other ladies emulate you

Thank you for your example for the world
Thank you for overcoming your circumstances
Thank you for making an entire country proud
Thank you for your message to the world clear and loud

Nature calling!

There is a tiny little compass within us, our conscience, the keeps giving us signals. There are times when it keeps warning us of the dangers of the city life we are living. It gives us hint of being at home when we are in the middle of nature. We are all like tiny parts of the nature we are so foolishly moving away from. And that's why we feel so much at home when we go to these places. We are parts of them - the air, the water, the soil, the fire that makes us us. Not the iphones and fancy toys we are so attached to these days. Let's make it a point to live closer to nature. To breathe pure air. To drink water unadulterated by modernism. To think thoughts that are pure and in tandem with the cosmos. There is a monk within us. Why do we hide him? Why do we not listen to him? We must. Before it's too late!

2020: adios amigo!

The year 2020 was cruel to most of us, but it taught us many positive lessons. It made us appreciate and be grateful for all that we have, and realise what we really need in life to be happy. It was a lesson needed for the world to reboot and rethink of its priorities. It reminded us that we have been making the mistake of using people and loving things when it needs to be the other way round. It made us realise the importance of the people in our lives - even if they are the people who do mundane jobs in our households and whom we tend to take for granted. It also made us realise that our wealth can't protect us from the virus or a calamity, but our fellow humans can; the great work done by the medical fraternity, the workers who helped us stay alive during the lockdown, was truly commendable. No words can really describe how grateful the rest of us are for these courageous selfless servants of humanity. I hope we have learnt the lessons and learnt them well as a race, as life ten...

Hey gorgeous

I find you beautiful not because you are good looking I find you beautiful because your eyes share the same pain I see in my own I find you gorgeous because you wear the look of a fellow traveller longing for the train to arrive in the station soon I find you irresistable because I see the fountains of joy that soothes my heart in your eyes as you look at me I find you stunning because you are imperfect and scarred just like me Let's share this life Whatever little is left of it Let's laugh and cry together Let's celebrate the scars and toast the time together as finally we have the chance to be with each other Let's not give up now Let's not wait another lifetime to quench the thirst our souls feel for each other Comeon let's approach the future together Like a pack of wolves chasing a prey And let's feast on moments we conquer  for ourselves...
