Nirbhaya

निर्भय तुमने बहुत सहा ,उन्होंने कुछ न कहा तुम चुप चाप कराहती रही ,यहाँ लाठियां बरसती रहीं तुम सदा के लिए सो गयी ,पर जगा कर गयी हम सबको छोड़ गयी इन आँखों में सैलाब,शर्म, गुस्सा और दधकती आग त्राहि त्राहि सब ओर,यह कैसा समाज, ये कैसा समय तुम्हारा बलिदान अमूल्य, पुकारता निर्भय, निर्भय   - मीनाक्षी ( 29 दिसम्बर , 2012 )

ज्वालामुखी

ज्वालामुखी  बरसों बाद फूटा है ये ज्वाला  जो मैंने , तुमने और हर लड़की ने सहा है  अब न रुकूंगी मैं , अब और ना सहूंगी मैं  दामिनी हूँ मैं , शक्ति हूँ मैं  मैं ही जननी हूँ , मेरा तुम पर उपकार है  आज हुआ ये जो बलात्कार है , यह उसी जननी की अस्मिता पे वार है  काली हूँ मैं , अब वेह्शियों का करना नरसंहार है  संभल जाओ , यह तुम्हारे दूध को ललकार है  हिंदुस्तान हो गया था कब का आज़ाद , पर आज भी यहाँ का आदमी घिनोनी सोच में गिरफ्तार है  कुंठित हूँ मैं , की आखिर क्यूं ये आदमी हो गया जानवर से बदतर  ऐसे आदमी होने को धिक्कार है , धिक्कार है  - मीनाक्षी ( 24 दिसम्बर , 2012 )

What a rain!

Rain You came, washed off those stains That everlasting pain Grudges flowed, down the drain I am left wet and pure,  It's you, I am sure What a rain! - Meenaxi

During my bedrest in the expecting months, I relaxed, took a breath and first time ever in my life realized the beauty of rest and happiness. Earlier,I consciously remember there was something on the agenda always to be worked for and achieve and win, pretty much happen

The First Lady in Green

The First Lady of our Home “W here do we get our vegetables from ” I asked my 4 year old daughter in my regular practice of making them generally aware of their surroundings. Mama, “ from Sabziwala uncle ”….prompt came up the reply from the little bundle of curiosity. She expected an appreciation, some gesture to get applauded for her knowledge. I nodded in accordance not to dissuade her spirit to answer, but the response of my question startled me …of how limited her knowledge is and I am the main culprit. I have not exposed her to the wonders of our dear Gaia, the earth. The disturbance caused a severe insomnia followed by a plan, but I was apprehensive. Being brought up in the industrial city of Haryana and now domesticated in the jungle of concrete, it was a herculean task to teach by example. To succeed in a unknown territory also carried the risk of failure, that too in the role of a mom, it’s not quite easy to share your failure with your kids. It was easier to teac

The art of faking

Dazzling diamonds on its exterior, Yelling brand showcasing being privileged,  Inside, just a tissue and visiting cards Sufficient to wipe off the embarrassment naked Insides of a pompous purse, Of a wanna be celebrity, lost and caged.

Key to freedom

Key I knocked everyday on that door, With hopes to stand as a winner, In meditation, In Imagination, In Prayer Hopeless was not me, Victory was a bee, In my bonnet, the only love sonnet On a sunny day, door got open, Curtains were raised, For long this dream I chased, I can’t believe what I see, No, the winner is not me, Bravo!, Defeat is my key, To set free

Those Nine Months & Genie

Internet is fun You have got twins! Radiologist announced to me and my husband, the result of my first ultrasound. As glamorized in films, in real life, we didn’t dance and gifted the Radiologist with my necklace with joy immediately, but we were pleasantly surprised, bewildered, stunned for a moment. Mixed feelings of joy, surprise and apprehensions, of having two babies together flooded our inexperienced minds towards parenthood. This twins word spread in family through various Oooh Aahhs, wow, jackpot, OMG and all sorts of exclamatory comments. At that point of time, me and my husband were working together on the same project in an IT company, my role was crucial as a technical architect. I had to put a hold to my work as our doctor prescribed me complete bed rest, leave the job and to remain in lying position 95% of the time, even sitting was not allowed except food time. A 360 degrees transformation was needed to our lifestyle. A girl outdoor needed to be confined to tota

What’s your Legacy?

What is our legacy for our children…Material or Memories? Childhood stays as the most cherished and beautiful phase in anyone’s life. What our kids would reminisce most about their childhood? How our kids would remember us eventually? Let us take a moment to ask ourselves and reflect? We are struggling day and night for securing a better future for our children. In the process of facilitating them a luxurious lifestyle, pacing up with peer pressure, somewhere, life itself is getting missed. Your children need your presence more than your presents. ~Jesse Jackson The early years are the formative years, casting an impression of living a life. Are we setting the right example? These formative years develop a strong foundation of a kid, cultivate into an emotionally secure human being. So the involvement and the attention required from the parents is the most in these years. When we remember our childhood, the most endearing moments are our happy times with our parent
