Life must go on!

-




When I look at you
I look back at life

How it varied…
In different phases
How it altered
In different segments

Were you same
Who changed faces?
Or
Were you different?
Who appeared same?

I recollect all those moments
Being a Dad’ little girl
I remember all those times
Being with a free young mind

Tender thoughts...brilliant ideas
Life was all so perfect
Being a girl was all real fun
Being a woman… never a smooth run

Growing up brought different shades
Not only in thought…but even in deeds

Sometimes others...sometimes dear ones…
Everyone traded for their console
Everyone treated with same feel

I don’t think anyone ever tried…
To estimate the esteem of me…a woman
A daughter…a sister
A wife…and a mother
A woman who give life to them
A woman who makes their life so live

But I know …I...do!
How worthy I am…
I look back at myself
I pat on my back
Move ahead in life

Because…I know
Woman = Life
And life must go on!

Life must really go on! Amazing poem, showing the different roles women have to take on through life! I can only imagine how tough it must be! I should be lucky being male, females have much more trouble to go through life!

A powerful call out to be an individual and have pride no matter how social forces make you invisible. I experienced too that switch over from being a cute novelty to being gendered and stereotyped. How fortunate those who find an equal partner in this world!

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!
