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…

Theme Reveal #BlogchatterA2Z 2022

I started my blog five years ago and my blogging journey during these five years has gone through many twists and turns . I started my blog on self hosted wordpress site , learnt lot many technical aspects like DA ,  SEO and latram patram .....Blogchatter has been a constant friend ( plus a big support) since then ....I have  successfully participated in  #BlogchatterA2Z three times .....and wrote two ebooks too during the process . All this was quite exciting you know as I got to understand a bit of creative side of writing , made some new blogger friends , and became a proud AUTHOR of two ebooks .  In 2018 my theme was #Astitva where I wrote about various stigmas faced by a woman in our society . In 2019 I wrote under the theme #Prerna where I uploaded  some inspirational posts . In 2020 all my blogposts were related to the life of middle aged women (as that was the time I had just stepped into my forties ) . That was the time I came up with the book 'The Silv...

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...
