A CHAPTER

Kisses!!! Good byes!!! Smiles on the lips and tears rolling down the eyes…….

There comes a day in every parent’s life when their child starts going to school. All instructions given along with pamper and love. The little ones are groomed in school uniform, ID card, with a water bottle, napkin. Parents are sceptical how their child would react when they leave their child’s hand and hand them over to the teachers in school, when the gates close, when they are out of their sight.

The school is new to them - the walls, the chairs, the tables all new. The child is happy to see the new environment, new faces, new activities and new friends. The child completes the day and it’s time to return home. The child is happy and returns with a smile having loads to share with the parents. The parents eagerly waiting outside the school gates, eager to know all that happened and a non -ending chat goes on and on with the routine of school life.

15 years pass and you face a similar scenario once again. Smiles, anxiety, hope, faith along with all good wishes and prayers……. Saying all the best, wishing good luck …….

It’s exam time. All instructions are given along with faith and love. The students are dressed in school uniform, ID card, with a water bottle, handkerchief and pens. Children enter a board centre and parents wait outside, wait for those hours when their wards are out of the exam hall. Parents are dubious how their child would perform and lead them into the board centres. The gates close, they are out of sight.

The child gets busy with reading the board exam paper, planning their content, recalling their knowledge and writing at their best speeds in the best ways possible. Time’s up. Parents are waiting eagerly outside the gates to pick up their child with leaves sanctioned. This routine again goes on for a few days and then we bid adieu to school life.

A new chapter begins……..

Creator of Universe

Creator of Universe Amazing creation!!! Isn’t it? Nobody has the slightest of the idea of how the nature is created, how man came into existence. How life is generated and how the plan of livelihood is imposed upon all living creatures. If beauty of nature is managed by God, then disaster must also be planned by him. Aren’t we only puppets in the hands of the Almighty? The year 2020 is captured by the virus – Corona. Pandemic Covid-19 has hit the world. Lakhs and lakhs of people are getting infected and are dying. No cure has been discovered yet. The almighty has all reasons to punish people who destroy his creation. But, why the innocent? Is destiny playing a role?? The almighty has not made any two things same in this world. If there are floods at places, in the same season, at the same time there are droughts in other places of the world. If some places are covered with ice and people are seeking for warmth, there are deserts too… where people crave for every drop of ...

A prudent lady

 A PRUDENT LADY A dark skinned young lady Struggling to attain an identity,  Becomes a pal and a mentor  Builds confidence and scuffles hardcore;  The rays of the sun shine on her A glow on the face befells her, She achieves what she pursued  And success leads her to the altitude;  The patient lady knew the art of balancing  Between the atrocities and her worthy associates, Both demanded her partiality  But the placid lady didn't compromise;  Although words from her seemed harsh sometimes  But she lotioned them within no time,  She didn't mean to spoil the harmony  But position has its adversities; Understanding, caring is all this prudent lady is,  Graceful and giving this amazing lady is. ~Chaitali

Poetry on Children

-
  Blessings to treasure 👧👦 Children are innocent Children are bold, They have a great endurance Their heart is of pure gold.   They are soft with skills intruded, They are tender with talents impinged, They are lovable, they are delightful, They make our lives absolutely blissful.   They are the makers of today and citizens of tomorrow They are free of prejudices and free of sorrow, They are responsible, they are gritty They are our asset, they are our legacy.   They are respectful and peace loving They are obedient and trustworthy, They are a blessing to treasure; Their worth is impossible to measure.   Chaitali Gupta (self -composed)
