HAPPY FATHERS' DAY!

-














When I was very small
I remember…
How you pulled my cheeks
And showed your love so tender

In evenings it was sitting 
On your shoulders
I discovered the streets
And how we talked about places of wonder

I remember once how I 
Cried for a sweet at midnight
And you, you immediately
Bought me that for my heart’s delight!

I never need to ask for anything
You always know what I want 
You are the dad of who 
I can always flaunt!

I always look upto you
If ever I feel low
I’ll never forget those handful of almonds and your words
Before my exam “blows”

Till now since I was one
You’ve been always happy and calm
Whatever situation you may face
You’ve always taught me to be the positive one!

Your dear hug
And that loving smile
Is the most comforting thing
I will ever find

I thank you so much
On this fathers day
I wish we always keep smiling,
And all happiness comes your way!

In A Poet’s Mind

-
I set out to write But alas! I could not find A topic that would suit The taste buds of  my readers’ mind I held my pen Gripped it hard and tight But it suddenly slipped, f rom my shaking hands, And my thoughts began to fight! If I write “this”, Instead of “that” What would my readers think...? And slowly all my hopes for a lovely poem Then began to sink I looked at the paper— White as snow  Blank as my mind But then, what happened, I also don’t know! As if pulled by an invisible force, My hands began to move Words, I kept writing  I didn’t know, which course my poem would choose Words and phrases just  kept  flowing in the form of ink As if those abstract thoughts  got  a realistic link! Line by line  The poem knitted itself  And new ideas kept filling My curious mind’s shelf After some time, I don’t know exactly when, I looked at the paper And realised, a poem I had written!! Poem writing.. I think...

The ONLY Way?

Hope for the Flowers (pdf) "What happens when a caterpillar makes a cocoon?" my father asked. "Umm.. Metamorphosis. Yes, that is what it is called. It turns into a butterfly! We've been studying this since Grade 2! " "But are you aware, not all of them actually become that fluttering creature. Many just die without realising that they can actually become a butterfly."and he read me out a book. The book 'Hope for the Flowers' by Trina Paulus tells the tale of Stripe, a caterpillar and his journey towards becoming a butterfly. An inspirational book, guiding us, the caterpillars towards becoming a butterfly. I wondered 'bout the world There is somethin' more to see Whatever I see around  Doesn't seem what is really wanted by me Yes, it seems so fascinating That place, the crowd is heading to where I don't now what is at the end.... But, everyone says it must be good  So, I will follow, and t...

Licking The Leak

I was out, after exams were (at least, till then) over... when my phone rang. After a dead tiring and and seemingly never-ending round of tests, exams and continuous night-parties with my textbook friends, that day was kinda paradise for me. Yes, then I picked up my phone and it was my Mom. "Yes...Mumma?" "Ah.. Riddhi, your Maths paper was leaked. CBSE says you'll need give a re-test." The salsa flavoured nacho chip fell from my hand and I said, " What!... Umm.. Okay." I know that is not the expected reply, but yes, that is what I felt like! For the past two weeks, the newspapers had become "leak times" and the Google was feeding me only with "leak updates"... There was now nothing unusual in it. This leaking business has become so much prevalent that I couldn't help laughing at my situation. Okay, take another test, but please, be careful this time, we won't give another one then. Education shouldn't be di...
