Guest Post - The Trigger


This poem is contribution by my teenage daughter - 

Ms Snighda Sharma. 

An engineering student who likes to play guitar and write  poems when she is not doing the regular teenage stuff. 😈





The Trigger

whoever said t'was supposed to be easy

trying to find your path

create a life of your own

remove the shackles of your binding mindset behind

whoever said t'was supposed to be easy

never pondered enough

on what is like to find the trigger

that binds you to your old habits

preventing better ones to flourish

whoever said t'was supposed to be easy

never struggled or slogged

never had sleepless nights or wandering thoughts

never held a pen or lifted  a weight

lived as easy as a feather's touch

little does he know

that feather or nail

hold equal weight

struggle is struggle

however small however great.

कुछ स्वाल कुछ बातें - न बाप बड़ा , न भैया

न बाप बड़ा , न भैया  दोपहर का सूरज सिर पर आन पड़ा है लेकिन हमेशा की तरह छत का एक कोना धूप से परे  है , तीनों भाई बहन एक बार फिर उस  कोने में बैठे किसी चर्चा  में मशगूल हैं । सालों से इस कोने में बैठ तीनो ने कितने ही राज़ खोले और उतने  ही फैसले  लिए । लेकिन आज माहौल कुछ ज़्यादा ही संजीदा है।   बडे भैया धीमे से बोले-" मेरी मानो मत करो ये सब , सिवाय क्लेश के कुछ न हासिल होगा"। मझली बहन झट से बोली - "आप पीछे हट रहे हैं , मुझे  पता था , dad  के सामने बुरा नहीं बनना चाहते न "? छोटा भाई बोला - "भैया dad को tinder और  instagram पे मैंने  spot किया था , fake profile बना कर chat भी किया था । आप सोच भी नहीं सकते मेरी मनोस्तिथि , माँ को तो बताना ही होगा । पता नही और क्या क्या करते होंगे"? बहन जोश भरे स्वर में बोली - "बिलकुल  , कब तक माँ यों ही झेलती रहेगी , क्या कमी है माँ में - सुन्दर है, dad से ज़्यादा qualified है, high court के judge की बेटी है फिर भी पूरा जीवन केवल त्याग किया कभी अपनी इछाओ कभी सपनों का " बड़े भैया अपनी सिगरेट के धुँए को देख

Sometimes Silly Sometimes Sweet Short Stories #008 Letter To Son

To Son, With Love Published by https://www.verseskindlerpublication.com/ Dear son, It's not every day I do this, Don't even know where to start and how to convey but I have waited long enough to say. Clichéd phrases you'd be anticipating ~ Grades don't matter, and your academic excellence doesn't define you. I want you to be a good human being, that is all. No, my son, it is all nothing but a lie. The world out there is hard and fiercely competitive, There are wolves to tear down before you realize, And hawks to drop into the abyss. You are either a winner or a whiner. It's OK to follow your heart and fulfill your passion, But there should be enough food on the table. Having a heart of gold is OK, but your pockets shouldn't be empty. It's okay to hold on to pride, but fortune comes at a price. It's OK to miss the bus, but heartbreaks aren't easy. Work hard, for there aren't any shortcuts to success.  My dear son -

Yay, yay, yay, it's the 8th of March! My FB profile is updated & Whatsapp has changed. Send forwarded re forwarded re forwarded messages, wishing everyone a Happy Women's Day! Adrenaline is rushing through me, and  I've been waiting for weeks to flaunt those Zara dresses with mineral makeup in place. So much to do and so little time . I will probably skip the seminar on domestic violence and visit the rehab center, too! To attend a jewelry exhibition and have a free Mexican lunch. An all-women club social in the evening is where I want to win free passes to the movie Pink! Excuse me, what did u just say? How different is this Women's Day from the last several ones? Did I cheer, inspire, or promote at least one of my tribe? But why should I even try? I didn't spend my husband's money on grooming sessions for ground-level work. For that is the job of AN AVERAGE WOMAN!
