Motherhood



When I dropped her at day care today, she didn't cry. And even though I wanted her not to cry every time I dropped her there in the past, I didn't quite like it when this finally happened.

Today I realized that every time she cried going away from me , it gave me a sense of fulfillment.
Of course I felt shattered watching those tears rolling down her cheeks but the fact that she didn't like being away from her mom even when there were plenty of fun activities going around, just gave the mom-me an emotional boost.

However, today was a leap. It dreaded me for the day she would go to school, college and then someday she would move out and explore the world on her own.

Will I ever be ready for it?

बसंत





बारिश की धूप
गर्मियों वाली हवा

ना पूरा सुकून
ना मुकम्मल सज़ा

मखमल में लिपटी
खैरातों का अन्तर्द्वन्द

समझेगा शायद ये
बर्फ की चादर में लिपटा हुआ बसंत

Wanderer


When you cant solace
You distract
And distract more

When you cant bridge
You distance 
And distance more

When you stop believing 
You trust 
And trust more

The thing about these
Pauses...
Dilemmas...
Incompleteness...

Is ...

You wander
All  The  More.
