Moms are exceptional!

 She is a tornedo and at times a cool breeze,

Brimming with a smile, her face is at ease,

Her "It's okay beta!", soothes all the anxieties,

For all occasions  she has emotions and expressions in varieties,

Voice modulations is her bayen haath ka khel,

Right or wrong, unhesitatingly, she will tell,

Her cosy embrace is where I want to endlessly dwelve.....

She is particular about certain things

And for the rest she is totally understanding....

Mom she is, full of love,

To me my comfy cove!



I know, I know, all of you would say that all moms are the same, so what? But it takes patience and endurance for eternity, to be a mom. And my mom isn't an exception.


Cooking for her kids, looking after all their needs, yes, all that she has been doing since ages. But some peculiar incidents are memory plus, in my head.





I remember, I was disqualified from a running race in an inter-school competition, after winning the first two rounds. They said I wasn't participating in the right age group. I felt dejected in front of all other participants. Mom fought with the organisers. And proved that I was qualified enough and made sure I took part and won. She never left me for a single moment, she cheered throughout and boosted my confidence.


She's such a mother, who would never accept injustice of any kind and retaliate, to make things right.

Once, she was on her way to work, riding her scooter. And someone from a bus, spat out from the window. Her dress got stained from the pan spray. She stopped the bus and lectured the concerned person for his not-so-celebrated deeds. I'm sure that man has never in his life thought of spitting pan again.


My mom can literally be a Jhansi- ki - rani sometimes. Be it for her kids or her family.

Hurriedly taking my grandpa to the hospital, bravely, driving alone, when he had suffered a cardiac arrest and my dad was at work in some other town. My grandpa was out of danger because of her presence of mind.

Her decision making skills are outstanding. She never did a corporate job, but if she had, it would've been a different story.


Trying to be a mom like her is difficult. I don't even try to imitate. Yes, inspired!, that I'm. Even at this age, she is on her toes, willing to do all the work by herself. Never saying a 'No' to anyone asking help.





What amuses me is that she is happy with even smallest things in life. She never demands expensive gifts or lavish meals for her birthday. She never expects much from others. But is happy even if we gift her our time, exclusively for her. She wants her daughters to visit her and spend lots of time chit-chatting with her.


"My daughters are my greatest possession", she says. She isn't a fan of jewellery but wants us to be her gems.


Mumma! You are the real 'Midas' who has transformed us into what we are today.


Thanks Mumma for everything!

Happy Mother's Day!

Diary 2024

  And 2024 ends..... What a roller coaster ride!  Every year passes by and the new year comes afore, leaving you with something and making you leave something.  It would be quite odd if time doesn't indoctrinate our minds. This year taught me so much, like the previous one and the prior ones too! I have learnt valuable lessons thanks to 2024. The year was challenging, demanding yet gratifying.  What I grasped this year would be exemplar for rest of my life!  The fear of losing your close ones, leaves you petrified. While the close ones are battling, struggling with all their mights, you feel helpless even when you have honest intentions of support. Mental support, yes that can be given in abundance, there's no ceiling to it. But the one you intend to support is going through so much that sometimes just being there, showing up is also helpful.  Sleepless nights, nightmares haunted me for days. But then when you see them valiantly striving and vanquishing the...

Moira : Bound to happen! Chapter - 1.

She was sitting on the bench under the huge tree. Its extensive branches covered few more benches around. The park was a hangout place for teenagers. It was a playground for children and a perfect site for the exercise enthusiasts. People jogged, wearing headphones, determined to shed those extra kilos and be fitter, sticking to their new year resolutions, was a familiar sight here.  Yuga wasn't feeling the vibe today. She had left home as usual, early in the morning, in her tracks and tee to run a few miles, but after three rounds she just sat down on the bench. She saw an old lady taking rounds, walking slowly, but with vigour. The tree was shedding it's aged golden leaves. One such tanned foliole fell beside Yuga on the bench. She picked it up and let it descend on the ground. She switched off the songs playing on her phone. With air pods in her ears, she sat inert on the bench. She closed her eyes and could hear the birds chirping. "They are so happy even at the break ...

What's your plan?

 "You've to score good grades at school!" "You've to do your Olympiads!" "You need to have a co-curricular activity or some sports activity!" "You should be able to dance or sing or play a musical instrument!" Oh my my! So much pressure on these little one's learning to adapt and traverse the lanes and by lanes of this complicated world. "But its a rat race! He/she needs to figure it out sooner. Studies, career, universities, the stress builds up as they advance into their grades (classes), isn't it?" Yes, true. It's a tough task for the coming generations. Population is ever increasing. Even though the colleges and courses are increasing in numbers but we have no say on the quality of education they impart. Also the leading universities and colleges are always the first priority, obviously. So the newbies are looked down upon. Also the reservations hinder the paths of many. Well, so what score is a good enough score...
