In response to Reena’s Exploration challenge and ONLY because I wanted to write a Tautogram!

🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

Only when I try I can improve right? 😬

P.S: My daughter is asking me: Mamma are you really posting this????? 😂

The skies cleared,

After a heavy bout of rain,

And just before celebratory rainbows,

Could adorn the mighty sky,

Deep and clear,

He popped her,

An engagement ring carved from peerless stone,

Knot of eternity,

To be bound forever,

Taking in her hand, fainted.

44 words.

Time steals my eyes as

Ageing loudly ticks months, years

(If ears miss, don’t hear)

Clarity of vision dims

Physical sights swim…submerge

~

Adjustments tire…yet

Unexpected treasures gleam

Heart’s blindness redeemed

Spiritual sight grows clearer

Sterling vista, nearer Home

Don’t be frightened to see the whole wide truth

Not by denial or closing one eye

Shine a light on you child, enjoy your youth

Things happen for a reason, don’t know why

So just enjoy the ride for miles and miles

Be enlightened come what may, don’t be shy

Sometimes high, sometimes low, accept trials

Have to reconcile all contradictions

With some stat, we’d do it with own styles

We’re entitled to live, that’s our mission

Just don’t be rude and cause pain to others

We all have different definitions

Open our eyes and see all life’s wonders

Even if the journey’s not that smooth

See all the flaws, cultures and colours

We’re only human, we don’t know the truth

We could only try but then we could sigh

The right way or not, and then we could choose

So in the end it’s up to us to choose

‘

‘Everyone’s life has a

Bunch of knots,’

Deasy told Brennan.

‘Smart fellow chooses

His knots wisely.’

‘Besides which,’ Brennan replied,

‘He has to be wary of

Knots others try to

Foist upon him.

Those are never the

Right ones.

They can never

Be untied.’

ऑंखें बंद कर लूँ तो भी तू नज़र आता है
टूटे आईना-ए-अना में तू नज़र आता है

हुई मुद्दत हमें तेरा विसाल किये हुए
फिर भी हर कल्पना में तू नज़र आता है

कोई हमसे पूछे क्या मज़ा है जलने में
परवाना हूँ शमा में तू नज़र आता है

कभी तो तू छत पर नज़र आ ज़ालिम
यूँ तो चन्द्रमा में तू नज़र आता है

मिलता है हर शख़्स देने तसल्ली अमित
या हर सांत्वना में तू नज़र आता है

What do I see..
What I want to see
Or is it the reality..
What do I see..
Layered truths
Or layered lies..
What do I see..
A seperate sense of me
Or a sense of ego in me..
What do I see..
A souless me..

For Reena’s Xploration Challenge – prompt 177

Being judged is about another person reaching a conclusion about you, based on limited information available, and applying a logic which you are not comfortable with.

It should not matter really, unless the labelling starts affecting your family, social and professional life.

I’ve worked in an organisation, where the Chief routinely used foul language in meetings and conference calls. But there he was – refusing to help a lady with family problems, who was also known to use foul language. Given that the behaviour of both was equally deplorable, it mattered who wielded higher power.

The premises of ‘being judged’ then shifts to a power balance in families, society and workplaces.

POWER EQUATIONS

Who is in a position to inflict damage?

• The rapists who say ‘she asked for it’.

• The bosses who decide that a certain employee does not fall in line, talks too much or befriends people the boss…
