My answer to "Why is learning important to you and how has it impacted your life?"

Has anyone imagined how would it be if there is no education at all? I have had first-hand experience and let me give you a virtual-reality experience… There lived a family – mother, father and two kids. The father (henceforth referred to as the ‘hunter’) wakes up right on time to start to work (a sedentary one, of course!). The wife (called ‘attendant’ in the ensuing lines) wakes up early (Nah! She cannot go to work – no one ‘offered’ her education) to attend to all the needs of the family including keeping her husband’s (yes! Coz it’s her duty!) things ready for the day, cooking, cleaning, washing clothes etc. Yet there is no contribution on the other end, just snaps and yells. She tolerates, in fact, feels guilty, that she had not performed her duties right. She feels sad and she regrets for being a bad wife and sometimes, a bad mother (that is how she is induced to infer) …that’s how she has been trained. And that’s the training her girl will get too. The attendant was ‘taug...

Hi beloved, wake up!! nothing to fear- the sky's way up......:-) The flutterer little whispers out with a tickle... The bloom adorable, keeps gloom, grumbles, frowns, hushes, and convincingly, blushes... Blossom blossoms... smiling at her dear, only to be retorted by fingers that dared her slaughter.....

Out and about

A rocking song Goes on and on Dancers hopping And bopping With the beats At their feet. Lights flicker And seem to bicker Who is bigger! The air is cool To chill every duel. Shouts and cheers, Sorrows so mere, Pitch up and above… Ah! there goes a scared cow!! ‘Aargh!’ the thunder roars and halts their soar. Out comes The joyous group With their bliss droop. Towering high Was the moon light, With the stars twinkling, At them, winking. The night’s breeze Offers the desired freeze. The song so silent Soothes their tired bend. There was their party Calm and darting In the less felt planet- The nature, the life.

A cry for life…a calm life

She sails as if her sole pains… yet she talks as she walks ‘I shouldn’t disturb my child, I make no sound, not even mild’ With her sweet burden But light at heart, She thinks and admires God’s wonderful art That dwells in her…. As she does so, She is pained To part go With her life, Part of hers, into this universe. Oh! Yes! The little one Knows it too… Just hear him moan! The world hears it And laughs At the lovely kid, Never knowing his weepy bit. His cries Of fear and solitude In this war, so huge, of time, money and par. ‘Ma, why show me this world so bright, my body gets hurt by the false right in light, why can’t it always be GOOD NIGHT!!’

Life’s worth living, and dying too!!

High up on the tree, Knocking the air With spree, The tiny sprout. The cute newborn On this lovely morn sways and giggles in gay. Fresh and bright Such a beautiful sight. Eager to learn with playing yearn, it beats its foe with just a turn. It grows And swirls With sorrows In whirls. It crosses great oceans, Both of Thorns and bacons. It’s colours fade Yellow from jade. Its veins go weak With its minds meek Breeze seem storm Fierce in its form. “Enough, dear wind. Do me a favour. Hold me in a bind And please, never devour. Allow me to float down And down. MAKE ME REST, IN PEACE!!!” The dear old leaf Gets buried with grief.

The thirsty me

With life evaporating, I lay on the little prickles……. My pulse with its sinuosity, Broadens and trickles, To break into a wide smile… “Look out!! I’m stretching still- into a long mile!” I blink Rather slowly Feeling my sink Into this barren land… My ears Stay awake For every sound it bears. Oh, please, never forsake. Save me from this bake. Yes! I can hear it! My head ascends To the hope, a bit, to register my last trust, praying, it might not be dust. Awesome fingers, raised me. A bold heart bore me. Two silent eyes questioned me. I showered on them my dryness with mine, never the less. As Desert-unseen Tear floods Wash my veins, Pearls of elixir Moisten me And stirs To fall as the longing drop From my once dry eyes… “Oh, my saviour, the wonderful gift you just offered was the sole one I searched this whole place for. I thank you first And last For quenching my ...

Bliss- just a fuel!!!

Rising with all its might for the bottom making itself light... Flying through the ocean of thoughts and feels, getting lean but building huge spirits, as it thinks about its abode, the horizon pinks. Higher and higher it goes, with happy fluttering toes... 'Hurrah! My friends!!' it yells and screams.. with all the joys in which it dwells.... Hugs and cheers recieve it, the happy songs it hears.... As sudden as its reach, The floor below quakes, and down it falls, with all its friends and allies..... Down n down it goes... with unheard screeches this time.... with no one to haul them up.... Not Pleasure, it's nothing now, just a treasure... never believing Sorrow, it's the one waiting the burrow... Kept falling until plunging the hard earth awaiting- no bounce back!!! Oh! Rain drop! everytime i think of life up you pop!! Your hard drive Up and your fast dive down... LOOKS A LOT LIKE.................................... OUR LIFE!!!!!!!!! Free Hit Counter

A wait to depart...

Placing each feet following the other, enduring the heat the sand exposes... I had to move on, i said to myself... Relishing the cool shadows, my own, and watching the rows- their destiny... It seemed like mine -endless.. The sun scorches. But i am in the deepest dark- never mind brightest torches.. 'Oh! my...' Awakened, I felt someone I was revived by, someone else apart from me.. She whooshed on my feet, silent and strong, me blessed by the meet. flowing thro me like a silent cherub bewitching every lub and dub... That awesome second lasted hours and hours together making me fond of all the joy and sorrow of this new bond. Then here's a sudden haul on my soul quivering my stature tall.. I am getting drained of all the bliss,peace and truth and being left alone with pain.. Pain alone and to its fullness... How long was i to moan? All my life...? For this same essence of me now, battered and with no offense, had once shone with the brightest spirit and care in this now-dar...
