BRUISED AND TATTERED!!


Bruised and tattered!!

I have struggled enough,
I have had enough,
My plans keep getting foiled,
All the hours I toiled,
They go in vain,
Down the drain,
Yet again

I am left begging,
I am left wanting,
Now completely bruised and tattered,
My life’s in shambles,
Help me now,
Help me recover,
From this shock,
From this pain,
Support me now,
Support me please.

Be patient, just wait,
You’ll get your due soon,
This is what my folks say,
This is what my friends say
But as usual,
Fate plays spoilsport,
As another vital task,
Slips out of my hand

I am left begging,
I am left wanting,
Now completely bruised and tattered,
My life’s in shambles,
Help me now,
Help me recover,
From this shock,
From this pain,
Support me now,
Support me please.

I keep asking,
Why me and only me,
Every single time,
But I get no answer,
I get no reply.
Doesn’t anyone care,
About the number of hours I fry,
In the scorching afternoon sun?
Doesn’t anyone care about the hours I work,
Late at nights, even early mornings?
I have been waiting for my turn,
Since the past nine years,
But as usual,
Fate plays spoilsport,
As another vital task,
Slips out of my hand

I am left begging,
I am left wanting,
Now completely bruised and tattered,
My life’s in shambles,
Help me now,
Help me recover,
From this shock,
From this pain,
Support me now,
Support me please.

Who is to be blamed,
For this miserable condition?
Is it my own fault,
Or just my poor fate?
Why do our elders teach us,
God helps those who help themselves,
Why are we taught,
Work hard and you will succeed.
Why are we taught such lies,
Why are we shied from,
The harsh realities of life.

I am left begging,
I am left wanting,
Now completely bruised and tattered,
My life’s in shambles,
Help me now,
Help me recover,
From this shock,
From this pain,
Support me now,
Support me please.

I have struggled enough,
I have had enough,
I too have dreams,
I too have ambitions,
I want to be rich,
I want to be famous,
Even I want to achieve,
I want to receive,
Praises and accolades.
I too want a stable life,
I too want to live,
At least one day,
Without a smirk,
At least one day,
Without a frown
I want to enjoy,
I too seek happiness,
But life has always given,
Pain and unending distress,
Every single day,
For the past nine years.

I am left begging,
I am left wanting,
Now completely bruised and tattered,
My life’s in shambles,
Help me now,
Help me recover,
From this shock,
From this pain,
Support me now,
Support me please .......

To you , my mother!! Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator. Thank You, for everything you've done, I need you, I really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I remember a day of the past, When you held my little finger, Took me to school the very first day. I was crying, terribly upset, Coz i didn't want to stay away from you. I remember how i used to cry, When every morning you went to the dispensary. I needed you then, i need you even now. I need your guidance, your advice. I need your backing, your support. Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator, Over the past few years, You've become my guide, my mentor, I need you, i really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I am indeed very lucky, To have a mother as sweet as you. I am indeed very lucky, To have someone who cares for me, Who appreciates my achievements with glee, Yet equally stern when i am wrong. You have a heart of gold, my mother, Please stay by my sid...

YOU HAVE ENRICHED MY LIFE!!

You have enriched my life!! In an era where happy marriages are an illusion, In you I see love so untainted, so true, It is pleasantly surprising and gladdening, And I feel so lucky to spend my life with you, The twinkle in your eyes; the caring look on your face, I see, as I open my eyes every morning, I feel your soft hands gently stroking my forehead, The moment is beyond doubt, refreshing, I feel excited while coming back from work, Knowing someone’s eagerly waiting for me, And as we sit and share the day’s happenings, All my worries vanish; I feel happy and free, Sweetheart, let me hold you for a moment, And let all the memories flow, From the first time we met, the first time we kissed, To the birth of our children, and seeing them grow, The times spent with you have been priceless, And I can’t imagine living even a day without you, Dear, your smile mesmerizes me even now, I can spend my whole life merely gazing at you. I feel like praising you all the time, For you are a ...

DRAVID: THE UNSUNG HERO!!

Dravid: The unsung hero!! An epitome of perseverance was he, A man of resolve; like a wall he stood, Weathering every belligerent storm with ease, Every single time, without an interlude, An epitome of ethics, an ideal sportsman was he, He made us believe, cricket’s still a gentleman’s game, For rarely he shouted, cursed or resorted to unfair means, Never did we see him bring our country’s reputation to shame, An epitome of selflessness was he, A man who would have walked on fire for his team, He did everything he was asked to do; and more, He would die saving someone else’s life, it does seem, An epitome of humility, a true altruist was he, For never in his life was he seen flaunting his records, Preferring instead to be a shadow, an unsung hero, A man who served; without expecting rewards, An epitome of loyalty was he, Like a mother loves her child since birth, Every step he took was in the interest of the country, Yet who never r...
