An Innocent Query
Hey dear mother,
The clothes hanging up high,
Seem to be enjoying more than us.
Don't they look free and relaxed,
Whereas, we are struggling.
Struggling to find a roof over our head,
Call a piece of land as our...

The Carousel
Childhood was a nightmare for her,
As she didn't enjoy.
Nothing was normal like others,
As she was the sole breadwinner.
Her family, dependent on her,
She forgot to enjoy life.
Money, care and security
Was all that her little mind...

The Masked Reality
The drops of rain trickled down her face,
Peeling off the makeup layer.
Aghast were the people who saw,
Purple spots as the mask uncovered.

Just like our pure love,

branches in winter.
Nature rejoices

So was it for this little one,
Who was confused with his identity.
To the world he was a 'HE',
To himself, he was a...

Mother’s Love
She smiled silently,
As wholeheartedly she cooked
But for whom, you know?
Maybe her parents
Or, wait, for her dearest friends?
Or her spouse who's tired?
No, her smile speaks more
Of contentment and pure bliss
Of feeding someone
Who's a part of...

The wood to carve you,
Is chosen after high scrutiny.
It's worshiped before being chopped,
To give the majestic shape that you carry.
You're treated next to God,
Revered and respected by all.
The villagers that owns you,
Love you like...
