क्योंकि तुम अब तुम नहीं।।

तुम जो थे वो आज नहीं,

मै भी अब वो नहीं, क्योंकि तुम तुम नहीं।

बचपन में तुम जो थे, वो तुम रह ना सके,

उस बेबाकी को तुम्हारे आस पास के लोग सेह ना सके।

तुमने सोचा, इनमे है मुझसे ज़्यादा समझदारी,

क्यों न मैं भी सीख लू थोड़ी दुनियादारी।

बड़ा पाठ पढ़ाया इस संसार ने,

जो बचा था वो सिखा दिया दिल के संहार ने।

अब खुशी औरों में ही ढूंढोगे न तुम,

क्योंकि तुम तुम नहीं।।

Family : First Job for every Indian Woman

Family : First Job of every Indian Woman...

The birds chirp, waiting for the grains..

The plants need watering...

The phone kept beeping, and school bus is honking...

No bread  left for toast....

The milk just spilled over... 

Ah  Shit..

The maid has not arrived today, 

The breakfast is still not ready,

And she has  tiffins to fill.

Can u please iron my shirt first, a voice came...

The laundry heap increases day by day...

Groceries can wait...

Mum, my homework is still not done..

She also has to go early to school.

There's a workshop in the school,

She don't know how to manage.

Her mother in law is here, 

To ask medicines for backache.

A call from the bathroom

“I’ve forgotten the towel ”

Her  shoulders aches

And she  has no one to tell.

Her eyes are heavy and sober.. 

With last night's long presentation..

She don't remember the last time

She had been to the parlor.

She even forgot to iron her saree..

The bus honks again, But before that she has  to pick the  toys that are scattered.

She don't remember 

When she spoke to her sister.

Can't recollect the moments

when she chatted with her mother.

-----------------

She is  not a  feminist, 

She is  not an  atheist, She is 

more than a housekeeper, 

a mother and a doctor.

She could be an orator,

a painter, an artist,

a singer, a poetess,

a traveller, a photographer, a calligrapher, a cyclist,

a writer, a musician.

In fact she is doing part of everything for the kids..

The last time she tried something at writing

just to find her ability, 

The child scored badly ...

And then we know what followed exactly...

So next time the kid got a gold medal.. Bang..

Everyone praised his father's genes

She tries to  remember her trophies and medals

which no one had seen...

She don't know what her daughter 

Will do after growing up.

But she is  sure that these responsibilities

will never stop to follow her.

Marriages are made in heaven

Love is a fairly tale.

 Every working woman

has a different story to tell.

So, whenever you look

At a house that's tidy,

A child who is happy,

Intelligent and healthy,

Remember, it's the woman behind 

Who sacrificed her sleep,

her degrees, her passion

her ambitions and needs.

Give her a pat, a word of praise,

a ear to listen, a helping hand

It's always a woman 

who makes the house a home.....

To all brave women's around....

शायद अब कहीं सांस आया है

गंदे नालों से भी बद्तर हो गई थी यमुना,

हम रुके तो इसे सांस आया है।।

धुंआ-धुंआ हो गई थी दिल्ली,

अब जाकर इसे सांस आया है।।

जिंदगी भागती सी नजर आती थी, 

अभी कुछ देर की लिए ही सही

पर हम  ठहरे तो इसे सांस आया है।।

समझ नहीं आता था धुंआ है या धुंध,

शायद अब जाकर कहीं सांस आया है।।

 दूर भागते थे घर से परिवार से,

अब अकेले पड़े तो दूर के रिश्तों को भी सांस आया है।।

सांस उखड़ी उखड़ी  सी रहती थी सबकी,

अब फुरसत से सांस आया है।।

मच्छरों के सिवा कुछ ना दिखता था,

अब तो परिंदो को भी सांस आया है।

धीरे-धीरे बदरंग  सी हो रही थी जिंदगी,

शायद अब फिर से कुछ रंग भर जाए।।

बच्चा बच्चा खांसता दिखता था मुझे,

आज बूढ़ी अम्मा को भी सांस आया है।।

Dowry

#MustRead

According to me, Dowry means a big amount of money paid to buy a bridegroom for a girl, to have a licensed husband. Just like we purchase vegetables from the vendor and use it according to our wish, so in that way after buying husband, a wife should use him according to her desire, but nothing happens like that. A daughter’s father betroth her to a guy with dowry in hope that he and his family will love, respect and take all care of her after marriage, but everything seems fake. She is mentally, physically and even financially harassed by her typical, down market husband and in-laws. Some families in Haryana, Punjab and many other states it is openly done which is visible, but in many places, they are internally tortured, so it gets lime lighted very rarely. In this case, what could a helpless, innocent girl can do, if she goes and makes voice against them, their rigid stone-hearted husband and his family treats like an animal and force her to commit suicide.

For this reason many daughters don’t want to marry when they observe the worse cases of women after their married life that don’t get freedom and rights to come out of the cage of their in-laws house.

Brutality of our society doesn’t end here only. Women who are not interested in marriage as they don’t want to compromise with their liberty of joy after wedding, nobody is there to support her wish, as the family feel a women life is vague without husband and children. Can anyone tell me if some are not ready for marriage then why are they forced to do so, they are educated, self-dependent and can survive on their own, so why she can’t live according to her own choice.

Now it is on us to decide whether we want a son like Kasab, Nirbhaya rapist on whom the world is ashamed of or we want daughters like, Kalpna Chawla, Lata Mangeshker, who are pride of our country. Till date a women has played pivotal role of a mother, daughter, sister and wife, so think if she gets a chance to work for the development of India she will definitely prove herself like Indira Nooyi, Isha Kocchar, Neeta Ambani, and many more who are beautiful example for our country’s pride. So, educate your daughter and let her fly in this open sky freely, who knows one day they will also make you feel proud.
