Never underestimate
the plain Janes
Some of them are miraculous
Others are meticulous.
But for sure,
they are not ridiculous
And all of them are real,
not fake even an inch
Some of them are real and raw
like the unpolished diamonds
But diamonds are diamonds
Solid, Real and Intriguing
and others are pristine and true
like dark woods or
unfathomable seas
Deep, awesome and curious.
But for sure,
they are not phony,
no, not even an inch.
So,
don’t misunderstand the plain Janes.

I had to choose between
Him and my dreams
Obviously I chose him
because,
Once upon a time
He was my biggest dream
And I knew
If he is with me
I can see many new dreams.
I had to reshuffle my priorities
so that I could stay close to him
And every time I did it happily
I changed with the changes in his life
Because I knew
Once upon a time
He was the only change
I wanted in my life
And I knew
If he is with me
I can change every change
into a new opportunity.
So I deconstructed myself
again and again and again
Just to be with him
I know loving someone this much is strange
but
He is my happiness
He is my love
And you know
Love is blind
happily blind…

I got the shock of my life last night
When my mother saw me but failed to recognize.
Once strong like a mountain, now she is ill and fragile
Parkinson’s has taken a toll on her ability to survive.
Oh! What have you done to the woman who used to thrive with life?
Her once capable hands shake continuously
Making her unable and reliant; and this perturbs her profusely.
Her once high and proud head is now drooped habitually.
Her once unwavering and kind eyes are now all vague and lost strangely.
Oh! What have you done to the woman who faced every odd so bravely?
When I called her “Mamma,” she turned her face to me in vain
And tried to grope in the dark to get a signal from her brain.
I heard the angry pitter patter on the window pane of cold winter rain
I felt the cruelty of old age and tried to hide a tear of pain
Oh! What have you done to the woman who taught me not to feign?
Oh! Dear God! Something changed in those senile but still beautiful eyes
My mother narrowed her gaze on me, it felt like getting the most coveted prize.
“Don’t cry, don’t be afraid, my dear,” she repeated her old advice
Her words broken and unclear but still so wise.
Oh! See this woman who never fails to rise and shine!
You can take away everything from a MOTHER, You shoddy,
But not the MOTHERHOOD, embedded in every particle of her body.
This is the post excerpt.
Hi there. I have started this blog to talk about life: the highs and lows, the ups and downs, and the bigs and smalls. I think we all agree that life is strange and it’s the biggest surprise in itself. I consider myself as a serious observer of the mystery called LIFE and I want to share my observations with all of you as there are many who think like me. So I want to take some time off from my awesomely busy schedule to give a thought to life. I welcome whosoever wants to come along on this adventurous journey.
