THE COV-HEROS…….


We get so much of time during this lock down,

But we only moan and frown,

That economy will fall in a blink.

But  do we ever pause to think?

There are people who don’t have a grain of rice to lick,

That people who are affected by  the pandemic.

They constantly have their tummy grumbling,

But the sight of their will power is truly humbling.

They are the people who will save us from this calamity,

They will fight the virus with humanity.

They are the daily wagers and the farmers,

They will fight with will-power filled swords and armours.

They will lift the economy when it will be in zeros,

ALL HAIL FOR THE COV-HEROS!


WHEN YOU THREW ACID ON MY FACE…….


Yes,I agree,you threw acid on my face,

But I don’t need beauty in life to ace.

Yes,I endured terrible pain,

But got something more precious in gain.

The acid you threw,did’nt cause me a scratch,

For wherever I go,my dreams hatch.

Your acid did give me quite a scar,

But sadness is now very far.

I don’t care if I am not beautiful as a doll,

Still I am the same person when I enter the hall.

People cheer for me when I shop in the mall.

I do not care for beauty and grace,

This is the story that started ,

When you threw acid on my face.



MY MOTHER………


As I wake up,a strand of hair brushes my eyes,

I open my eyes to see my mother ,

Who is the voice of truth in this world of lies.

She is the one who beside me

Stands strong.

And she will always be with me,

When dark nights are long.

The place around my mother,

Is positive and cheerful.

Every sad moment,

She makes it joyful.

I love her warmth,

And her cozy hugs.

She is just like the lioness,

Protecting her cubs.

QUESTIONS WITH GRANDPA

Image
There are two characters, grandpa and his granddaughter Shashi. 1. WHY CAN’T TREES MOVE ?  It was the first question Shashi asked. “It was a long time back when trees could move. But they were mischief-makers. They used to poke animals with their thorns or whack animals with their branches.So all animals went to the good witch 🧙‍♀️ of the forest   and told their troubles. The good witch enchanted the roots of the trees and they couldn’t move. She cursed them that they will be troubled until they do something good to compensate with the trouble they stirred.”said grandpa. “ But what good did the trees do?” asked Shashi , puzzled. “They give us oxygen and take in carbon dioxide. So it won’t be long before they start walking again.” explained grandpa. “I can’t wait for it !” exclaimed Shashi.  2. WHY IS THE MOON IN THE SKY?  Asked Shashi . “Long back there was no moon. People were afraid of the dark nights for witches , evil   spirits prowled in the dark. So, god made

THE FIRE OF ENVY

  Cook your gruel on your fire of jealousy, it cooks faster. Wow, what a proverb I have made! But is it a proverb or a scientific topic? Whatever it may be, what an achievement it is for me! Probably, I would get the Guinness World of Records for the greatest discovery. It will be really superb to show-off my Guinness World of Record to the rest of the students in my nursery. A four year old getting the award is unusual, but who cares? Only if I knew how to convert envy into fire, then my gruel would cook the quickest on my fire. "So w hat are you dreaming?’ my mother demanded breaking into my precious thoughts. Parents always interrupt at the wrong time. ‘Nothing,’ I lied as we reached the shoe shop. Not any shoe shop, it was a famous shoe shop.                  I proudly strutted inside, while surreptitiously craning my neck to see if any passer-byes  were watching me enter such a famous, high-class and posh shop. Unfortunately, all were so preoccupied that nobody noticed. What

Time

It runs,it gallops,it flies with the wind, It goes away like a free bird. It stops for nothing and nobody, But it does makes itself heard. Through the fields and above the trees, It rules over the whole universe. Dancing among the flowers and leaves, It goes ahead but never on the reverse. It never ages, But only changes, Overturning luck and bad phases. With a soft touch of its ageless hands, It wrinkles people’s young faces. Though invisible,it is undeterred. Time does makes itself clearly heard.
