Beware ! They are contagious

  • Sometimes I feel the need to expose myself , need to defend myself and the need to protect myself.Whenever I feel layed down,I search for doing things that motivates me instead of making me more vulnerable to it.I love my mom and the Internet for that.My mom is a struggle survivor from the young and the internet is my stress-buster.Lots of inspiring quotes and videos to find.Yes,I believe that a little word of hope provides the strength to move on.Quotes like "What you sow is what you reap " is very true.Whenever we do things ,we don't think of the consequences after we have reacted.They may be worse if we have reacted in bad way or brings in good fortune if we did reacted in a good way.Ah! lots of lessons learned and still learning on my way.You may feel that I am true when you read the below post .(The last para submitted for Sunday 160)

    Beware ! They are contagious


    Walking with heavy heart on the road
    thinking about my life I sigh
    a cute baby with turner's syndrome
    playing ad mist her home
    turned at me and smiled
    The smile on that baby's face
    it’s so contagious
    I smiled back



    Here comes the soaps episode after episode
    seeing ladies at home and office tormented persistently
    the anxiety in their voice  made the place
    so angry drowning in
    that sadness in me
    it’s so contagious
    I started to react, crying

    Coming home I saw my spouse waiting for me
    happiness drained when he caught me
    complaining life and
    hurting my ego
    I felt the edge to defend myself
    it’s so contagious
    I striked back at him

    I was returning home after a long trip
    back at home my parents and friends
    hugged me tight
    their love and smile 
    filled that place with colours
    I felt very wanted
    it’s so contagious
    I reciprocated back
    Whatever or However we may be with our list
    Of Love or Hate, Happy or Sad ,Egoist or Altruist
    They are like virus-very infectious and
    Beware! They are contagious

    Lord Hanuman-Acrostic


  • golden Heart Lord Hanuman
    flies Above the blue sky
    through Narrow clouds
    to Unlease Sita, Lord Rama's love
    is Majestic in his powers of
    breaking All the barriers and
    is Noteworthed for his devotion in helping all





    The Above poem is written based on a picture prompt by Magpie Tales.I can identify the Lord Hanuman in gold lying on a soft blue cloth (sky) with white perals (clouds) around and so my poem took shape in form a Acrostic' HANUMAN' .Read  it again and you will get to know more .

    Targeting my dignity
    I clasp to my life

    The Seven Wonders of the World

  • A poetic form - Tanka

    It is a Japanese poem of five lines, the first and third composed of five syllables and the other seven.Syllable is the count of how we pronounce a word.For example, poem is po -em counting to 2 syllable and wonderful is won-der-ful counting to 3 syllable.Tanka is in the form of 1-2-3-4-5 lines with 5-7-5-7-7 syllable.In my poem I write about the magnificent man made constructions in Tanka form with free style writing.

    Celebrating Diwali



  • Happiness from everywhere fills the air
    All young and old awake early in morning
    Painting the entrance with beautiful kolams and
    Preparing to celebrate this joy of uniting with relatives
    Young ones are noted of roaming around with sweets in both hand

    Dancing around ,the whole family celebrates this day
    Inigniting candles , praying god to keep them happy everyday
    With sweets exchanged between relatives and friends
    An evening  begins with bursting crackers and colourful fireworks
    Lighting our home and our life anew burning the negatives to ashes
    Indicating the joy of giving and receiving for days to come


    HAPPY DIWALI !
