Today I was not well. I could hardly stand. I still cooked palak paneer and rice and chapati for family. My kid loves Spinach. She should be eating more fruits and veggies. She eats only strawberry. And oranges once in a while. 

My husband also demands only potato most of the times. He eats a apple slice. Not even a whole apple.

He should eat all kinds of fruits. But convincing him is a big task.

When I got my first salary, my mother had warned me that I must spend enough on fruits. She said the same when I was getting married. We both should spend enough on fruits. What a Mother she is ! 

Just too perfect as a woman. One of the finest you will see on this planet. I want to make her proud. 

That would be difficult because it is difficult to impress her. 

Same with my husband. Very difficult to impress. People spent lockdown times in watching web series. He watched all the interviews of all the scholars and intelligent people all over the YouTube. And also interviews of all great artists and sports persons. 

If you ask him the name of a singer, he will tell you the singer name as well as who played the tabla, the flute and the keyboard also. His hostel friends would tease him if he knew the spot boys name also. 

It keeps me grounded to have these two in my life.

 I had a long day today. It's really late. We visited my kid's school today. She had a practice session for her annual day. She enjoyed it.

We then went to McDonald's. We do not fond of fast food. Today we visited McDonald's after almost 4 or may be 5 years. We sometimes order pizza but not a fan of fast food. She had muffins and we had veg burgers with fries. We ordered chocolate shake for my kid but ultimately we only had to finish it. 

We came home. We had ordered two muffins. We brought the leftover muffin home. My daughter kept eating it and her daily food which is paratha and dal rice was compromised. 

We also allowed her to enjoy her long weekend. But then she asked for food at 1.30 am in Night. She would not sleep! I had to cook paratha for her at 1.30 am and she ate 2 whole paratha. Now she is sleeping peacefully. Fast food never makes you feel satisfied. Empty calories! You have to eat your regular food. 

The whole day was busy in my weekend tasks. I played my favorite web series on headphones and finished all my household chores before 11 pm today. I don't play songs these days. I listen to movies & web series. 

That was my day today. I learnt today that when God delays his blessings its actually not a delay or Its not that he wants to teach you patience. It's actually the knowledge of TIME. 

He knows the exact time when you should be blessed and he does the same. He does it at the right time only. It's only because we do not understand 'TIME'. Our understanding of this concept called 'TIME ' is very limited.

That's why he is called Mahakaal. The lord of TIME.

 Again late today. I had some office tasks to finish. I came across a very touching post on internet today.

It said _ An individual falls in love thrice in his/her  lifetime. First love is a crush. You are very young when you fall in love for the first time. Neither the other person nor you have any serious courage for this love. Off course, there are exceptions.

The second time you fall in love is a really tough one. It breaks you into pieces. Like literally it will break you to your core. It will completely ruin you. Destroy you. It teaches you about the world. About life. It's a painful transformation.

We are talking about serious relationships here.

Usually, the third love is the one whom you marry. Now at this point of time, the other person also has learnt a lot in his/her life. So one is serious & a bit responsible too while entering a relationship. So this third love is the one when  you get a lot of support and you too become a support for other person. 

Life has a habit. It wants to prove that she is the boss. It has strange ways of making this declaration. 

But I found this post very interesting.

I had a very long day today. I am going to enjoy the weekend. 

Jai Gurudev,

सुकून की तलाश अभी जारी है

हर चीज आसपास है
भागदौड़ जोरशोर से जारी है
पता नहीं कैसे लेकिन

सुकून की तलाश अभी भी जारी है

लोग साथ उठते बैठते है
खाना पीना जशन रोज रोज है
दोस्त की गाली, कुल्लड वाली चाय

दो रुपये वाले सुकून की जगह

अभी भी खाली है

सब सुविधा है,सुनहरी रौशनी है, 
शिकायत करने का मौका नहीं

झिलमिल तारों के नीचे चांदनी की ठंडक हो 

ऐसी रात का इंतज़ार अभी जारी है

अमीर होकर खरीद ना पाया
सुकून बडी मेहेंगी चीज है
बनावटी पौधे लगाकर इंसान को 
मौसम और बहार की आस कायम है

मजाल है  जो किसीको सुकून से जीने दे
इंसान बहोत आगे निकल आया है
किसी और को सुकून ना मिल पाए 
इसीलिए चौकीदारी का काम जारी है

अपने घर से निकाल ही दिया है 
इंसान ने सुकून को बेघर कर दिया है
जिसके घर मे सुकून अपनी छत ढूंढ़ ले 
ऐसे धनवान की तलाश अभी जारी है

मुक्ता 

साक्षी

Fresh feel करो, Happy feel करो
पहले feel good करो
बाकी सब संभल जायेगा
अपने आप ठीक हो जायेगा

अभी के लिए मुस्कुरा लो,

अकेले ही खुश हो जाओ

ख़ुद ही खिल जाओ,

खुशबू से छा जाओ

बाकी सब अपने आप

 गुलज़ार हो जायेगा

बाद मे जो होगा वैसे ही ठीक हो जायेगा

दिमाग का दही बनाकर चला जायेगा
बिलकुल वैसे ही जैसे अब तक लेकर आया है
रुलाकर, सिखाकर समय निकल जायेगा

बहती नदी की तरह बहता जायेगा
रोकने से नहीं रुकेगा
रेत की तरह फिसल जायेगा
अच्छा और बुरा दोनों चला जायेगा

कोई नहीं जो रह जायेगा
काला और सफ़ेद हर बादल चला जायेगा
आकाश हमेशा की तरह अनछुआ रेह जायेगा

तुम्हारी तरह साक्षी बनकर रह जायेगा..

मुक्ता 

...तब जीतना जरूरी हो जाता है

सबकी ख़ुशी मे अपनी ख़ुशी मानकर भी
जब तुम्हे नीचा देखा और दिखाया जाता है

     ...तब तुम्हारा किरदार जरूरी हो जाता है

साफ दिल और सच्चाई को तुम्हारी
जब कमजोरी मान लिया जाता है

    ...तब तुम्हारा सामर्थ्य दिखाना जरूरी हो जाता है

पीठ मे छुरा चलाकर सामने से फूल देनेवाले
जब छुप छूप कर तुमपर लांछन लगाते है
    ...तब तुम्हारा जीतना जरूरी हो जाता है

किसीका अहंकार जब सारी हद पार कर जाए
काला मन किसीका देख जब कोयला भी शरमा जाए
    ...तब हीरे को चमकना जरूरी हो जाता है

नफ़रत इतनी होती है कभी कभी
के मन मे नतीजे का डर नहीं रहता
तब तुम्हारा भी निडर होकर
लड़ना जरूरी हो जाता है

तुम्हे रिश्ता जरूरी लगे
अपना कर्तव्य और प्रेम बड़ा लगे
लगातार माफ़ करते करते फिर 
तुम्हारी अच्छाई को कोई
गुलामी का मायना दे 
    ...तब तुम्हारा जीतना जरूरी हो जाता है

समय आनेपर समझ आता है

के तुम्हारा कर्म क्यों जरूरी है

विनम्र मन को भी स्वाभिमान

जगाना जरूरी होता है

तुम लाख विरक्त महसूस करो
दुनियादारी से
चाहे जीतना विषाद करलो
महाभारत मे अर्जुन का
शस्त्र उठाना जरूरी हो जाता है

....विजय जरूरी हो जाता है
....बेहद जरूरी हो जाता है...।

मुक्ता 

Closer Than The Breath

 
When you say you are closer
To me than my own breath
So far, it was just a poetic expression
Until today when I  realise its depth

Before I breath in my tears
Before I laugh out with tears
it's you who check me out
Ensuring my survival
with either kind of the tears

Closer than the breath truly
Gloomy day, happy or moody
Unknowingly I did judge you poorly
We are closer absolutely
closer than the breath

After I breathe my last

I will have you as my companion

Surely this is also not

 just a poetic expression 

Such an Assurance this is

that you are closer to me

than my own breath

I am not lonely 

whether alive or dead

The inner voice of mine

My guiding light

you are closer to me

than my own breath

Most ignored & taken for granted

Loved & trustworthy Friend

In true sense a soulmate

you are closer to me

than my own breath

Mukta 

My Friend

You hold my hand
Take me along
I dont really care
If the journey is long

The Rhythm of my life
You are my life's song
Let there be as many storms
With you beside me
I will stay strong

You are a friend of mine
A rare true companion
Even after losing sometime
I feel like a champion

You will be there for me
Even if I go wrong
You are my true shelter
You are where I belong

Friend, I let you down sometime
You continue to stand strong
Someday I want to make you proud
Just so that I hear you applaud

I see the value now
My priceless possession
Better late than never
But I do realise your significance

My Friend , you just stay around
I will feel safe and sound
No matter how wrong it gets
With you alongside,
my life will surely rebound

My Friend, I lack words
To say what I feel for you
Words are so small
For a princess just crowned

I should not play with words
Its meaningless chatter 
Your friendship makes me feel astound
And thats what really matters

You just hold my hand
And take me along
I just dont care
if the journey is long...

Poem- Mother

 

A poem on Mother they said

Language was no barrier

As if the entity 'Mother'

Actually knows some barrier...

Religion caste color 

Nationalities even species

This one entity

Remains universal

Baby ducks follow her, 

A baby monkey clings to her 

A baby kangaaru's VIP seat 

None of them needs a trainer

Stretch marks and labour

Meal and medicine timer

A bit Loss of health and hair

Sleepless nights for a toddler

Moods and craziness of a teenager

Basically Mother is a all knower

Strong & steady like a Rock

Delicate like a flower

She is definition of love,

True Strength and Valor

Mother is a mirror image of almighty

So many God Mirrors surround us

Her keen eyes look after this universe

Divine omnipresence is actually all about her

Only an alive mother

Can sustain a living being

Sun & mother earth 

are surely not dead entities

Mom, Grandmom, mother land 

& mother tongue ..who can forget them

Mother nature keeps bestowing 

Without asking you to repay..

By the time you understand 

the meaning of word 'mother'

You are already dealing with

Your own little monster

Even if a male 

You are no less a mother

(Sometimes even better)

as You are made up of both

Half a father & half a mother

So now you are a mirror image of god

Caring for your honey little angels 

Suddenly you have become a living legend

And Not just your mom's little angel

Mischievous smile of your mom and dad

Will show you how karma have returned

Little bundle of joy in your arms will tell you

How easily this world is conquered
