Raise your voice against the hand



Why do I shy, when I have to cry?
Why do I fear; when people are near?
Why am I trembling; when I see the one I love?
Why is there no respites; only tears
I have longed for happiness for a while;
I have learned to steal smiles at times
The darkness has been profound;
But my heart always got some respite
When he went out; in a few hours I lived my life
Then came the pandemic; which tore me apart
Virus or beating my fate was written in dark
I cried and shouted all in vain
His frustrations were all to blame.
Don’t get me wrong he loved me too,
When he kissed my eyes he bruised.
Now I am not sure will I survive?
But, I know for sure I don’t want to live this life.




With the lockdown, we all might be happy to be safe at our respective homes but for some, it is the nightmare each day.
The cases of domestic violence have risen since the lockdown and abuses against children are on the rise too. The dilemma for the abused is weather to save themselves from COVID-19 or the abuse.
The only way is to ask them or help them to raise their voices and inform. Please be aware of your surroundings and help those in need. You never know when a single act of you can save a life.
Please stand up and ‘Raise your voice against the hand’.
Feel free to comment on any resources that are available out there for help.

Happy Birthday My Dear Friend

“Happy Birthday my dear friend, you have aged beautifully. Wishing you many more glorious years.” “Thank you for your wonderful wishes, but aren’t you a bit late today? I mean the whole world has wished me in morning.” “Yes, sorry for the delay, this year your birthday has brought more sleep hours; you see.” “ Yes, indeed.” “So, 68 it is. Tell me about your experience of the period of time” “ Hmm; so it has been a difficult journey…for being conceived for 2years, 11 months and 18 days my birth was a difficult task. I am happy that a veteran like Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was given vested with it. I was happy to be in the form I was born; my documents were beautifully handwritten in calligraphy.” “Wow; that is amazing. You truly are special.” “Indeed, I am. My features were inspired by kids of other nations; to give me an in-depth character and wholesomeness.” “Really, that is unique. You have seen so many generations; so many people and so many changes, share some insig...

Art of living So, I started with my blogging again. Every day I planned to write something beautiful, something extraordinary, something that stood out; so as to tell the world “ I am BACK ”. But, suddenly life took a 360 °  turn and all my plans went down the drain with the new Virus in town. Suddenly, the talk changed from future plans to survival at the time of the pandemic. Quarantine became the new norm, while plans of travel turned to name random names to the rooms of our house. During this sudden shift life became the most valued assets, long lost friends became a daily call and time became a commodity freely available without any restrictions or speed. So, life is on a halt now and so are my plans for a celebratory blog. Hence, I decided to simply pour my heart out on this one. This quarantine period has definitely taught me ways and means to live my life and not to merely exist. Over the past I have learned:      Life is full of ...

Bring your own Blessings (BYOB) Let us begin day two of the challenge with the letter ‘B’. I have been thinking a lot about the topic for this one and after many cancellations finalized the above. Now we are mostly aware of BYOB an urbanized version of going Dutch or rather getting your own drinks to the party. This is basically a system of sharing expenses and also giving the sense of being a part of the party. Okay, just kidding it is none of the aforementioned and is the basic way of partying when everyone is practically broke. So, moving on from parties and hangouts. Oh, the nostalgia ! Just like we can share the burden so that we can enjoy a party of a hangout, we can share the burden of sadness and negativity by simply bringing our blessings with us. Blessings are a beacon of hope in the vast ocean of negativity. They are prayers of a better future, a way to assure someone that ‘this too shall pass’ Now, the question is how we can bring our own bl...
