SOMETIMES!!


Sometimes!!

A poem depicting the grim side of the work-life imbalance

Sometimes I don’t have time for you,
When other important issues encircle my head,
Dilemma my mind faces in such situations,
Sad my heart feels, but it all goes unsaid,

Sometimes I am not there to help you out,
To bring a smile on your face, to wipe your tear,
Helpless I feel, yet I selfishly expect you to understand,
Unconditionally, and every single time you adhere,

It’s been ages since we have gone on a vacation,
Long time since we have carved memories together,
I am fortunate we haven’t distanced away,
Lucky we don’t fight despite not spending time together,

You are the most matured partner I could have asked for,
Who understands my every emotion, every action,
To whom I never need to explain even once,
Who stands by me, like a shadow, in my frustration,

Sometimes I feel I am letting you down,
By not giving our bond the sacrosanct position,
Yet your reassuring gesture asking me to not feel guilty,
It helps me give my work due attention,

Always I feel, our world should be magical,
Romantic, mesmerizing; like the one we sought,
Where my mind is at peace and only you matter,
Alas! Realities are complicated; Utopia, life is certainly not.............

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...
