The Mother knows

When does a mother feel proud about her child ? 
Is it when the baby walks for the first time ? 
Or is it when the child calls the mother for the very first time ? 
No, it must be when the child runs wildly with glee. 

Ever watched a mother caress a baby ? No blemish or mask.
A pure emotion that awaits a definition. The very next moment, 
The baby leaps out of the mother's reach. Who can contain the 
breeze of  childhood and innocence ? The mother watches. 

At every birthday, a cake is baked. The guests change, children too.
When does a mother feel proud about her child ? Is it when 
The child attains adulthood ? Or when the first earning is put in 
The mother's hands ? I do not know, but the mother knows. 

It is every time the child smiles, every time the child speaks,
Every step the child takes, every hurdle the child crosses. 
Every time the child runs to her for a missing button, some 
Advice or even a hug. The mother always knows.

MRS DESPATCHER(PART II)

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS POST… Eighteen months later…. I was beginning to like my work. It was a challenge sometimes. I had learnt to go beyond boundaries. The dreams which had eluded me once, were dawning as reality now. I had my taste of success and as they say nothing succeeds like success. I had developed a knack for solving my own problems. One day , I chanced by a couple who were seated in a corner of the quaint little coffee shop. I couldn’t believe my eyes…. Divya and Sandip…here of all places. I couldn’t help but confront them. Divya was warmer than ever before and Sandip… I knew he was feeling a bit coy..its so typical of him. But I was more than surprised when he asked me to join them. Though I didn’t refuse, they found me going after five minutes. I invited them for lunch on Sunday. It was a fine Sunday morning and my guests were sharp on time. Divya offered me help in the kitchen and I chose not to refuse. My books kept Sandip busy. She could read my mind and went on with h

A s I was walking , C hoosing the hues of life, R ainclouds made an appearance O n the sunny sky above.

YOU....

Sometimes I yearn for you, Wish you could comfort me When I’m down, caress me When tired. I look for you everywhere- All I see is evil. Hands to kill my innocence. Eyes that cut deep into my soul. I cry. Bitterly. Hoping against hope I’ll Discover you someday. Place my head on your bosom And weep out my sorrows. I die a million deaths In my quest for you. Dreaming lazily about our Enamouring encounters, Amidst peace and plenty. Bestowing each other with love- Unheard and unseen ever. The romance ends one day, I lose you to the world. Again its solitude for me. I look for someone else like you And the longing never ends. I realize the elusive truth In my last breath. I should have looked within me. You are within me. In my imagination. So pure, so dazzling that The Maker dared not infuse You in the real world. He knew you would be Tarnished, scathed by vice. You are a dear part of my life, Very much within me. All of us are the enchanted Musk deer. PIC COURTESY:Google
