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...

Zoozoozoo : A journey

 Today is Sunday ,  May 1st 2022 and yesterday i was invited to my daughter's school to witness a small function.  My daughter Suhani was born in 2007 and the day clearly flashes in front of my eyes when she got on to the auditorium stage for her first annual function during her LKG class . I had dressed her up in a beautiful purple frock . The auditorium echoed  with the sounds of claps as the team LKG stepped on to the stage and took their positions as couples . Their teacher had blushed  everyone's cheeks pink and golden. The song started 'Zoozoozoo......we welcome you ......' and the kiddos started twisting their hips and legs holding on to their partners . Awww...it was such an adorable performance that a mother couldn't control her tears .  Watching some  kids who forgot their dance steps and wanted to just run here and there on the stage was fun too !  Yesterday was the day when she again marched  on to the auditorium,  this time ...

Uplift your mood

 My evening today was not good . I was doing all domestic chores in a  burdened way. I tried watching some  movie but it couldn't interest me . One of my colleagues called to intimate me of  some upcoming duty. That further pressurized my bad  mood . I wore my shoes , put on my headphones and got ready for a walk . After walking for around half an hour and listening to old bollywood , my feet took me towards the splash pool where children were enjoying . I removed my shoes and sat there at the edge of the pool dipping my feet into the water. Watching me , one of my friends also came and sat along . Both of us sat for quite  long on the edge of pool - chatting and dabbling our toes in the water. This cooled my mind and uplifted my mood .  You need to find  your own ways to uplift your mood as and when required . Music , Dance ,Good food , Laughing , shopping ,picnic ,  playing any sport you like , painting , talking to someone , chanting a man...
