STRANDS OF RAIN.

       

They pull out from clouds, 
high in the sky.
They come in millions, 
Can't seem to skip them.
They define elements, molecules and atoms.
Dots of fluid in a straight line, 
They travel from a distance beyond what the eye can see.
They are sometimes crystal and sometimes dusty.
They are like vomits,
giving us back our wastes.
Reminding us that our deeds, 
have a way of coming back to us.

Joy Of Motherhood

" She's here! What should I do with her? How am I going to do this? Where should I start from? Oh God, I can't. I just can't. She's cute but she's stuck with me now. I don't think I can do this."  Jay wouldn't stop lamenting. Her daughter has just been born. It was her first child. It wasn't an easy ordeal for her, but she didn't want to think about it. She's was protecting her mental health.  Her fears almost consumed her. Not until her baby was brought to be fed had she felt any connection. The moment her baby latched to her breast, it was a different experience entirely. One she will never forget. It felt like a message. One that said, "Hey mummy, I couldn't wait to do this with you. I am yours fully. I depend strongly on you. You are my mother and I know that. I wouldn't give up on you. I wouldn't let you go. I am here for you and I love you." Words could not express how she felt. She saw her baby's helples...

SEXUAL HARASSMENT

 It was in the year, 2004. She was in Junior class 3. A quiet and simple girl. The school authorities admired her. He was one of her school teachers.  A short man, who loves to use a short cane.  He was called Uncle E.  He had been her teacher since class 1. But something happened. While teaching in class, he wouldn't stop staring at her. It was too much that she got embarrassed. He would walk to her seat, put his hands on her shoulder, locate her bra handle, drag it up, and let it go. It got to a point, her friends had to switch seats with her, so short Uncle E's hands wouldn't get to her. One day, he said; " You are my loving girl". And other words that got her confused. She went home, told her mum all that has happened. Her mum got angry.  She reported to an authority in the school. One of the vice principals. He, the vice principal, decided to talk with the teacher first. But Uncle E told the principal to bring the case to the class to confirm all that had h...

PRAYING ON A WEDDING DRESS

 Well, I know what you are thinking. But that’s not it this time. It’s about something else. Have you heard of good intention, but bad execution? That’s the case here. It’s about Bee and Jee. They were close friends. Bee was a little older, but they were both within the same age bracket. Jee had a guy who was really obsessed with her. She was really beautiful, and he didn’t want to lose her. Now, you can understand his insecurities. She agreed to marry him. Bee was a strong support system for Jee. She did everything she could to make sure the wedding was a success. Bee wanted Jee to have the best wedding dress at little or no cost. She could get the perfect dress for Jee. She was really excited to see Jee in the dress. She wanted to see how it fit, if it needed amendments, or if they should search for another one. But Jee refused to wear the dress. Bee kept saying, “try the dress Jee”. Jee folded the dress and kept it in her bag. She said she had to take the dress home first. “Why ...
