Fading Memories

What is with this smile Mamma ? 
It follows me everywhere, in good times
And in pain.
During journeys and at nights I rest.
Remember how you read me my
Nursery rhymes and the alphabet Mamma ?
Remember how you waited for me
To arrive from school ? Our banters
And the laughter that followed.
Look ! My library is bigger now,
Almost as large as that of yours.
Yet, I long to hear a lullaby from you.
Sing to me Mamma ! Just like
You did ages ago.
Don’t walk away like that Mamma !
See, I am your little girl in tears.
You taught me how to fight my battles
But weren’t you my shield ?
I am you girl, grey and portly,
But I still need to hear my lullaby.

ILLUSIONS OF REALITY...

The more you point out my mistakes, The more you are drawn towards me. The more you try to hurt me, The more you bleed in your heart. The more you run away from me, The more my memories haunt you. The more you want to forget me, The more you are reminded of my presence. The more you want to chase me away, The closer I come to you. The more you hate me, The more you end up loving me. The more you call me an “illusion” The more I dawn as the reality of your life….

CONFESSION OF A WOMAN...

When I'm born,I'm jeered at.When I'm a child,I'm made to believe that my reason for existence is somebody else.While I'm growing up,I'm discouraged to question.My brain and heart are numbed.I cannot die too,since it will bring infamity to my family.People would say,"At this age,what could have forced her to terminate herself ? She failed to materialize her fantasy.Such bad morals." I fast for the well-being of my father and brothers.When I outgrow my frocks,I'm let off to another household.There, I work for others, without pay.I have children but they treat me like a door-mat.Here too,I fast for my husband's and childrens' long,peaceful life.When the man of the house,who happens to be my "husband" dies,I shed a part of my soul.I have no right to live then,I just breathe and sit in a corner.Rest of my life is spent in praying-for death.They say, "Woman needs a man.In childhood,its father.In youth,its husband and in old age,i
