Easiest way to be SMART in today's world

You are a smart person!

in writing articles,

in executing things,

in organizing event

at official meetings

at home work balance

and the list goes on..

Well I would be modest at the above compliment and would not like to take the entire credit for self but share this credit with smart devices that help me, and millions of others to execute their day in perfect or near to perfect manner.

Silent yet Powerful

Summer died that night.

Nothing was same in her house; each of her belongings were now placed in the garden for the people to see the last time. They were now flying to The International Peace Museum to mark a beginning of a golden journey. The journey Julia always dreamt for.

Few cowards silenced her, who were scared with huge social change about child trafficking would leave them jobless.

Poetry on Depression: An Expression less talked

Am I so complex in expression?

Why do people always act in suspicion?

I am same soul with heavy heart,

which is drifted from you miles apart.

Come, listen to me, hold me tight;

I am too fragile and things not right.

I Say YES

  I say YES to world of prosperity, 

which helps me move ahead. 

Shows me diversity in humans,

yet togetherness is harmonious. 

I say YES to world of beauty, 

where color doesn't decides duty.

Where no opportunity is biased, 

efforts are measured and praised.

#CuttingPaani Pasting Happiness : 6 Ways to Save Water

Today is 'World Water Day, Save Water' read the headline. But why? was expression of my daughter who read the one of the headlines of newspaper while picking it up few days ago.

Yes we need to save water, was my straight cut line packing her snack boxes for school.

But ‘Our Earth’ chapter of General Sciences says earth is covered by 70% of water and 30% land, then why save water Mamma, which is in abundance. I explained the importance of water and its preservation and shortage in short to her, as she had to board her school bus.

To my surprise she watered the indoor plant with the water left in her bottle when she was back from school. This made me sure that children takes the lesson very quickly and do their bit.

Shine Without Limits

They say, “At this age now I have no paths to choose”.

Do people really believe now there is a dead end for my dreams?

Shutting all the exterior noises “Nyma eyes fixed to the waves and its unique synchronization with sound”.

An Itchy Affair-Top Mosquito Borne Diseases and their Symptoms

We have always heard of demons in fiction stories but the real life demons hover all around us be it indoors or outdoors.  These itchy demons are none other than mosquitoes, which make our life miserable. Be it at home or outdoors with friends and family, we are at some point bound to wake up with itchy red marks left by mosquitoes.

Recently one of my relative and close friend fell prey to dengue and they both were hospitalised for few days and later weeks of rest suggested. While talking to them the point triggered to me is that they both were unaware of the symptoms of dengue. We all rush to hospitals for curing the disease but we lack in identifying it. If symptoms of a disease are known one can act accordingly in quick time, so this post talks about symptoms of the disease caused by little demons.

Am I Perfect?

I work hard day night

Manage tasks as a knight

Gather my strength to fight

With all odds for future bright

I am perfect from tip to toe

My mirror is clear without any dew

Everything from here is accurate like an icing on the cake

No flaw to appear in any of the take

But when my heart looks out of window

I see many staring with questions in meadow

I am startled to stand without any clue

I then walk to them to get their insights & views

Dual Bonanza - Cracker-free & Crack-free Diwali

Diwali, the grand festival in stature and emotions is completed, and I must say this year it was refreshing Diwali for me and for my family. For past 10 years post my marriage being nested in Delhi, NCR I have been celebrating Diwali here. And I must say this year was a best Diwlai as it was celebrated in its true essence. Celebrations in overall were focused to the rituals mainly and least time devoted to crackers.

Painted Diyas

For past couple of years I think people only concentrated and connected this festival with burning of crackers and purchasing as many crackers as they could. Diwali is not meant only for that...it is the festival of love victory togetherness. This Diwali was all the more special as I was away from the medicine kit too. For me the whole positivity of the festival looses its charm if anyone in the home fells sick. And past years were doing preparations of pooja and concurrently checking prescriptions of doctor. It was quite disheartening to have a family member running with low energy in a festival that we wait for whole year.

Fun @ Blogosphere

I lit up the flame to write

To share with the world blogging was right

It provides a tremendous platform

To create learn share and perform

Wall - My Healthy Partner

Home sweet home was once upon a time a perfect phrase for everyone but in todays era it looks like we are living on gas chambers that could burst anytime. And these culprit gases are polluting the air so much that we are not far away to lead a #MaskedLife at home too.

Jittery reunion : Mixed bag of Feelings Poetry

My heart beats faster as ever,

as today I gonna feel same shiver;

which I felt when I entered the world,

with my attitude and stood with herd.

 

My eyes searching a friendly face,

or may be a one with smiling trace.

A kind gesture today was important,

as this will set my ship with merchant.

Open Letter to Friend who turned Stranger

How would you feel when one of your close friend turn in to stranger. We have expressed feelings on this subject in an open letter.

You were mine all along

With you I crossed many milestones

With you I always felt strong

Now no path to be shown.

You grew with me tiny tender to tough

My friend with you every vital step I took

But alas you don’t look the same stuff

Weathering with time changed your look

Why you can’t be rigid forever

Do you really need a pause or complete stay?

I can’t carry you in such state

Gear up dear together we need to fly away.

With respect I bid you goodbye

A friend to stranger you now sight

Oh! Dear Shoe you seem now a different guy

Alas you left me with time.
