Appa

Every time I drowned in tears of sorrow
Your finger wiped them away

Every time I was in pain
Your heart suffered in silence

Every time I was weighed down by heavy clouds
You made my day sunny with your smile

Every time I was on the verge of losing heart
You patted me on my back and
Helped me unlock my true potential

Every time I crumbled in defeat
Your words gave me strength
To get back up yet again

Every time you planted a kiss
Your beard often pricked my cheek
I still enjoy it
Being smothered in love.

When I shattered into tiny fragments
You picked up every piece of me
And stuck them back together again
With the glue of love.


I could always pour my worries out
Share my darkest secrets deep within
And not be worried about being judged
For you were always willing to lend me your ear
A shoulder to cry on.

Every time I succeed
You were the first one to celebrate

Every time I was in need
You were the last person to leave

You accepted my quirks
And understood me deeply

Even if the world tries to crush me
I know you will stand by me
You always have, you do and you always will.

You were always the one
Who never showed your emotions

You were the father
Who always swelled with pride
In every mention of his daughters

You are that gem in my hand
The celestial gem with powers
That almost always went unnoticed
Like a pinch of salt in food
Constant yet forgotten.

Your words of strength and power
Stay etched in my heart
And ring in my ears always
Your words,

This too shall pass.

Splendid Sisters! 👧👧

Hi guys! The person who embraced my successes and adversities, the one who always gave me a quick tickle and who made me realize the purpose of life is whom I want to share about today. Dear reader, if you are an elder brother/sister to a younger sister, you should consider reading this. Most elder siblings resent their younger sisters due to their drama-queen attitude. That does happen, a sister can be a brat sometimes. But, you know what? They can be heavenly blessings. They are cherubic sweet little angels, ready to bless your day and mine with a captivating smile (and no sister can be as sweet as mine, I bet!) who are ready to sacrifice anything for the defence of yours. Even if they have to take the second pick, they (almost) never protest. My sister is no less. She is classy, cool, carefree, hardworking, ideal and witty, the perfect figure of the today's independent modern woman's characteristics. She has an unbelievable ability - she can maintain size zero with...

Saffron

The snow of the mountains, still Bear the scarlet stains of your final act, The crisp, solemn winter air of Pinglan, still Stands a witness to the last moments of greatness. Even on your human case crumbling, The brilliance of your sacrifice Shone through the valiant bullet wounds. No matter the ages that trudge through, The rousing drum of your strength, Bravery amid paralysing pain, Strength amid the chaos, The sincerity of your offering, Like that of the great Kunwar Singh, Will echo in my heart for a lifetime. Your willing welcome of the last second, Pushes me to transcend the trivialities of life, And readily sacrifice what man holds on to, For a purpose greater than myself Or anything that I call my own. The unfathomable love and pride you nurtured For the soil that we shared, Stirs my soul to rise to the occasion, And fight till the very end,  Even if it meant sacrificing myself. As you arrived home, after months of separation Wrapped in streaks of saffron and emerald, Our h...

I'm not a stereotype!

"Oh, that one over there seems dark; should be a Madrasi." "Look, these Nigerian apes are here too! Thugs they are..," "Don't cry like a girl, boys aren't meant to cry!" "Why is he in the kitchen? He isn't supposed to do the chores!" You might have noticed what is common in these statements. You're right. Stereotypes. Stereotypes can be a part of daily life, no matter who you are. It can affect how you share ideas, communicate and think about yourself. From a classroom to a delegate meeting, stereotypes can be everywhere! Sometimes, people consciously or indirectly label another person through prejudice. Judging another person without knowing them personally. Labeling is absolutely unacceptable. Every person is diverse and unique in their own way. Racism isn't new to us. Branding a person regardless of their character can reflect how you perceive people and your racism. Even if we don't mean it, we...
