Mum, I couldn't let you go!

Every morning just before I wake up, I can hear you,

Every night after I sleep, I can feel you.

They say you will not be seen anymore,

But trust me, I see you every moment in my core.

So, mum I still couldn't let you go!

Every small thing around takes me more towards you,

Your hugs, your kisses, your shoulder is what I miss most of you.

Those words and talks push me more to hold on to you,

They say I need to now live without you.

But, mum I couldn't let you go!

Those unlimited talks I want more and more,

No one else can be as close as you were.

You were the one who understood me always,

Your ideas on how to live life pushed me in many ways.

So, mum I couldn't let you go!

I keep scrolling through your photos all the time,

But none of them come alive like your smile.

I needed you in my every sorrow and happiness,

Because life is tough and no one else can bring that easiness.

So, mum I couldn't let you go!

You were the most beautiful and strongest woman I've ever seen,

Your boldness made us fearless in every scene.

You fought like a warrior till your last breath,

But it's hard to believe how life plays to death.

But, mum I couldn't let you go!

I want to see u always maybe only after I sleep,

It was you who never left me to weep.

They say your blessings will always be with me,

But I never imagined a life without you, the way it could be.

So, mum I couldn't let you go!

If ever you come back as a mother on this earth,

I wish to be the child to whom you will give birth.

Mum, it's still hard to believe what happened in the past,

Your every memory is so fresh and will never last.

So, mum I couldn't let you go!

With love Mum ❤

Are we gender biased when we always expect male member or fathers to be the first in the 'responsibility list'?

The word 'man' or 'father' sounds so heavy that it automatically builds up an image of a person who should be the most responsible member of the family especially living in the patriarchal society of our country. Do they have a choice? No, a man doesn't have choices. In most of the families around, a woman may choose not to work or be bound to do so but a man has to go out to arrange for the daily bread and butter. Whatever position they may be holding in their job, from a clerk to a CEO, they learn to lead, manage and create a balance! They make sure that not only the needs but the wishes of the family members are fulfilled at every point in time. T o bring smiles to your faces, they buy the best for you and cut short their desires. No, money is not the reason for cutting but it's their concern to give it away first to you. They think about fulfilling your wish list first and keep their own at the end. They are ok to wear that same shirt again to...

Happy Father's Day!

Father....the quiet strength when the world feels too loud, the tired eyes that still smile when you walk into the room, the hands that built dreams while silently hiding their own. His love; he may not show but it's in the way he holds back his tears so you can be strong. It’s in the long hours, the missed meals, the quiet sacrifices you never saw ; because he never wanted you to! You may think he is emotionally strong but he feels everything.... Your pain becomes his burden. Your joy becomes his purpose. And even when he’s tired, broken, or afraid, he still stands tall for you! Hold him tighter...because a father never truly leaves rather he lives on… in your courage, in your kindness, in every quiet moment where love speaks louder than words. On this Father’s Day, let’s celebrate the man who stood tall so we could lean... The one who gave us roots to stay grounded and wings to fly.. To Dad...thank you for being our first hero, our forever guide, and the heart that never stops ...

Happy Mothers Day Mum!

Every evening as the sun sets, the encroaching darkness scares me as if reminding that you’re no longer here… I close my eyes then, and in that darkness, I can only see your smile, dispelling my fear! A single ache in my body invokes memories of your tender touch… When the world can’t heal deepest pain, just a thought of you can do so much! Though others surround me, your absence remains profound… The emptiness is so much, as you know mumma, you were my world! Life continues to progress, but I yearn for all moments again if I could move back once.. Every day, my prayer is not to God but to you, to relive the warmth of your unconditional love! Happy Mothers Day Mum! Forever missed, forever loved♥️🙏 11 May 2025

Encompassing Life!
