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!

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 ...

Broken

I feel like the kite that was flying high in the sky And suddenly the thread broke somewhere somehow And the drifting and dancing with the cool breeze started And then slowly the gravity took over dragging down and down and down The children of the area were too busy to run after me Probably attending some class for their future The onlookers didn't give me a second look Now I'm stuck on a branch of tree High up from the battles but not high enough for the breeze to push me again and again I am tied to the tree It talks to me about being grounded About the greatness in being rooted I don't understand it Because I have only flown all my life Never been tied to a tree I have only longed for the blue sky all my life Have only heard cheering when I flew high Now the rain gets me wet and soggy And the sun makes me brittle I wish the tree knew the joy of flying Wish I could convince it the beauty seen from high up in the sky The feeling of racing the birds hi...
