THE ROOF



Roof meant everything, windows and doors were out of discussion,
Luxury lost its meaning, basic need was the home,
To live was the motive, when living the time had tore apart everything
Because Roof meant everything, I know how it means to be homeless!

Numb was my heart to succumb the back stabs
Deaf was my ears to hear the untold
Dumb was my tongue to utter any of the words back
Because I know the pain of being homeless!

Never thanked enough for floor that I slept
Never blessed enough for the help that I received
Never felt eating food was so hard & digesting words were so tough
Because I was homeless that time, I know how it feels to be so!

Strong was my will to face the odd, strongest was my mind,
The hour of need was my emotion and balancing it was a mission
Situation it was, to learn the surrounding, to understand the human
because I was homeless, a roof meant everything that time!

Sympathy was I hated, Empathy was what I needed
cock n bull stories cooked up, life is worth the cacophony of stories I meant
Karmas -I believe boomerang, my negative ones are cleared so far
as I was homeless that time and I know how it feels to be so!!

Unlock The Wardrobe!!

Washing machine seemed whispering to the tap with a wicked smile - "Same faded ones" The tap appeared saying  -"once again??" with a wrinkled eyebrows! Detergent was crying "These are already faded - how can I make them fader again?" I looked at the clothes I was dumping to wash They appeared talking "how nice the ones resting in hangers" We are the ones kept lying half folded for easy access! we are picked directly from the string where we will be still drying said the other! They seemed questioning "Why we are being used the whole day??" I am missing the perfume sprinkled cozy partners said the machine! still waiting for the colorful ones to treat them better! I am in awe with the freedom they get beach washed in machine and sun-soaked dance in air to get themselves dry up! Little did they know how lockdown felt!

Corona Lockdown - Day 35 - 28th April 2020

It was a good day. Cloudy day and the day was filled with many activities. Many a time we think we are inside the home and are locked down and are not going out these days. But the new positive possibilities are hidden at this time. I am putting myself a few questions. Am I learning anything related to the field of my work? Am I giving my dedicated time to people in my world? Am I doing the things I have been hidden under the carpet many times? There are many more queries inside, are we giving a separate dedicated time for answering each query that we had within. Time to analyze and retrospect our own self. My day looked like this. Breakfast: Veg pullav Lunch: Had the same I made for breakfast as it was pending. Dinner: Chapathi, dum aloo, and pudina chutney. Dessert: Egg pudding Meditation: I did complete only the evening meditation session today. I had an important call at noon so I couldn't attend. Work out: Liking this time now. As I usually take up in the evening p...
