Lockdown Thoughts 2020

 When a virus hit and  the world had to be locked down in 2020 i had wriiten a post which i want to share again today with few more thoughts added.  

****

Lacs of  people infected  and lacs of deaths, 

Breathlessness and helplessness

is filling  the whole world with tears .

A common grave for the ones who left , 

for social distancing not at all matters there. 

The pandemic virus is giving many fears.

In this critical time,  

God has kept  me in good health , 

along with my near and dears.

Shouldn't I be thankful for my health ? 

****

Hungry stomach and Zero  money ,

Some people walked   hundreds  of kilometers

to reach  their shelter  ,

there’s immense  panic among the poor.

By HIS grace , I am away

from the worries of hunger,

which many others have to bear.

Shouldn’t I be thankful for my food ?

****

Everything is locked down .

And in the silence around,

 I do  hear pigeon’s coocoo

but never see peacock’s tail quivers,

He just screams in kaakaa ,

as if nature’s future plans he hears.

Birds , Hills or the  shapes of clouds

 I have the time to appreciate  NATURE 

when the beauty appears.

Shouldn’t I be thankful to the Nature?

****

No urge to shop , no online food 

No househelp  for looking forward to.

 I am  knowing myself from near 

The lockdown is becoming a life lesson  too .

‘Living with less’ is the skill 

I would always like to adhere to.

****

To maintain social distancing with humans ,

I am moving  closer to 

watching seeds in my little garden grow .

Drawing ,Reading  or Calligraphy ,

The art is becoming my meditation 

which helps me bear the fears

 & keep my little heart  clear .

Shouldn't i be thankful for my innate ability of art ? 

****

In front of my little temple  ,

when I sit with closed eyes , 

Countless  thoughts come and go .

HE never created religions or boundaries ,

HE just created brains ,

& seeing humans use  it for biological  war ,

Maybe HE also is feeling  stunned

&  doubtful of  his own creation  power .

The pandemic virus is giving many fears .

Praying is the best I can do.

As HE is the LOVE 

to whom we all belong .

HE is the ENERGY

who can turn things around !

Shouldn't i feel thankful for my Belief in the Divine Power ? 

I am sharing this post as part of #BlogchatterA2Z month long writing challenge

    It was a painful period - two years of the pandemic. The survivors have a lot to be thankful for. Your lines remind us of that.

    A difficult period of fear and isolation for everyone. It was a nightmare situation and we are all thankful to have lived another day…

A letter to my Kitchen

 Being a woman i also spend lot of time in my kitchen whether full heartedly , half heartedly or not at all heartedly . But in any case i have to go in my kitchen off and on . Today I feel like writing a letter to my kitchen. Dear Kitchen    Hope you are living a fulfilling life with all your jars filled to the brim with wheat , rice , pulses , sugar , tea ,coffee and cookies . I also hope that your sinks are now empty and clean unlike the last month when maid was on leave . Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly .  Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you . Now you are grown up as a teenager and so you should learn to be responsible and maintain your hygiene .  It feels good when my family agrees on khichdi and your cooker does the job   in  just one whistle . But you just don't cooperate when they demand Chole Bhature and you also start giving me tantrums . Remember ho...

Why do I write ?

 I have been writing a blog for the last five years and many times people question me why do i write . Well ! I don't have an exact answer . But whenever someone has asked me this question ' Why do you write ?' i have answered in the form of some question only like 'Why do you go shopping ?' or 'Why do you love to  go  on vacation?'  Actually the basic answer is that it feels good . It makes me happy , contented and also a little proud of myself . The feeling when i boasted about being an author is incomparable . May be you don't read me but I keep writing for myself - to reflect on my life experiences and learn from them. Earlier i used to feel depressed when people didn't read me but now it's just between me and my blog . Writing  helps me connect to my creative side and helps increase my vocabulary also. Writing provides an escape when reality becomes too complex. I like to write because it allows me to focus on a subject  and helps me relieve...

Test Yourself with 10 Random questions

It's good to analyze yourself to  know about your positive points as well your limitations So why not take a random  test today ?   Here are some questions which you should try to answer to yourself only and i request you to do it mindfully. 1. How are you feeling today ? Energetic , Stagnant or bored ? 2. Right now , are you thinking about today , yesterday or tomorrow ?  Remember today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday . Yesterday is gone . That was past . Learn from your past but don't let the past disturb you in the present or hinder your growth in the future . 3. In the past few days did you talk something good about yourself ? Daily you talk a lot about others but do you talk about yourself too ? Sometimes we  have a tendency not to boast or talk good about ourselves even when we have accomplished something . The way you talk about yourself makes an impact. Always speak  empowering words about yourself, "Whenever you think of beautiful ...
