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

Humanity is lost!

We lost ourselves when our quest was overtaken by greed. First, we wanted to learn - the earth, the oceans, the skies and then we wanted to own them. We invented toys of mass pleasure and mass pain. We got religion and creed. And we got lost in all these. We stopped being the wanderers who wanted to cherish nature. Enjoy it's gifts.  We started challenging the almighty the creator. We lost. We are dying as a race. Dying with the burden of civilization that offers only stress and agony of loans. Sitting in one position we are destroying our body the greatest gift of nature. We don't deserve to be called the smartest of all species. We are the most idiotic of all. We are dumb. AI is taking over. We will be lost in machines soon. They are our future. We cease to be us soon. God bless us!

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!

Love is all around me!

I remember this peppy song from my childhood with these lyrics love is all around me, everywhere I go...I have forgotten the singer, the lyrics and everything about this song. But these few lines have stayed with me all these years.  Truly, if we look around, there is so much to love and be grateful for....from the view of the rising sun from my balcony, to the books I read, to the food I eat and the energy I feel within. It's beautiful. The whole universe is within us and there is so much to be happy about....only if we truly open our eyes and see. Life is so tiny. Today we are alive but tomorrow we may not be. So why not inhale all the beauty around so that when we close our eyes in the night, we feel the divine bliss within and cherish it, without a regret in the world. It's a beautiful life, I feel pity for thr people who waste it hating ! May God bless their souls and may they too learn to see the beauty all around, so that this earth can truly become a beautiful place to ...
