Man = Woman =?

-




I don’t think….You are born different

You too have same things…As I have!



Two eyes one nose…Two ears one mouth

Two hands one brain…Two legs one heart!

Everything seems perfect…When I look at you

From a distance…I thought we two are same



But it’s only when I started living with you

I realized a woman is never equal to a man



You sleep... when you are tired

I sleep once I complete my chores



You work for running the house

 I work…it’s just for sake of working



You order …I obey…

I request…still you have your say!



You speak…I understand

I convey… you never get convinced



I may be putting more sweat

I may be having more brains

But it’s you who takes the charge

It’s you who becomes the boss



I have learnt every art of life

I have brought even “life” into life

But yes...
I am yet to learn the art of belief

The belief that makes me think that



Men and women are equal!




(For Poets United Mid-Week Motif ~ Equality)

It really IS not a very good feeling to think one is treated unequally, especially in one's own home.

This is sad but so true of many households where 'man of the house' is given importance and the woman who actually is responsible for the house being turned into a home is forgotten or taken for granted!

I see this everyday in my work. Now days it usually leads to divorce. Everyone suffers especially the children.

So tiring that this inequality is still sanctioned within society. I think it must be so tiring too to the men convinced to maintain it when a more human relationship is possible. I'm glad to see a poem on what, in the USA at least, is rarely in the headlines any more.

Friends are like memories

Friends are like memories Some good… some bad Some sweet…   some mad True you can choose them But it’s they who decide…. to stay or leave Friendships are like cyclic process You meet …you mingle You treat…you part No one is permanent No one is life long They keep coming and going Some come for a season Some come with a reason Remember…they are like memories In fact …with time, friends become memories You evolve… Your thought evolve… Your memories evolve Bad may become good Good may be become bad…. Seasons do change…reasons may differ Remember… Friends are friends forever Friends remain in memories forever For Poets United Poetry Pantry #293

Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din?????

-
Mukesh is my favorite singer. And when I am young….specially during teenage days I use to madly listen to his songs. There is a kind of magic in his voice with inexplicable sadness…. That use to take me altogether to a different world. There are n numbers of Mukesh songs….which I know by heart and can sing along! But this one is like the ultimate…..Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din! Whenever I listen… there will be definitely tears in my eyes…. by the time the song is complete! The voice, the lyrics and the music….no match at all! And today I don’t know why? after long... long... time I just felt like listening to it! All those …who are sensitive at heart can listen and enjoy! Kyonki…. ”Baadhe saukyamane bhaavana raanevoy! AA yeruke nischalaanandamoy…Brahamaanandamoy”! Learn Telugu if you want to follow it!
