If Only I Could Turn Back Time… ❤️

If life could grant me just one wish,

I wouldn't ask for anything else,

I'd simply turn back the pages of time,

To a world that still had you.

Just six years back, to those familiar days,

When everything felt right anyhow,

When your voice was my comfort,

And your presence was my home.

Some things are so hard to believe,

That even today, my heart refuses to agree.

Life moved on, the world stayed the same,

But nothing, absolutely nothing, feels the same to me.

They say time teaches us to live on,

and life goes on, no matter the cost.

But how does one learn to live every single day,

When the one who made life beautiful is no longer a call away?

Every little success feels a little less bright,

Every happy moment misses its light.

For what's the joy of reaching the stars above,

When I cannot share the news with the one I love?

There are a thousand things I wish I could tell you,

A thousand moments where I still look only for you.

Sometimes I just want to hear you say all ok?,

To sit beside you and feel life the way it used to be.

I smile, I live, I carry on,

I play my part as the days move on.

But somewhere within, a little girl still waits,

For her mother to return, as she stand by the gates..

For in a world that keeps moving on,

My heart still lives in the days gone by.

And no matter how many years may pass,

I'll always be your little girl, reaching for the sky.

And if I ever get that one last wish,

Let it not be anything else...

Just take me six years back, for one more day,

To live that life again… the one where I still had you.

Or perhaps, if this life cannot give me that chance,

Bless me to be your daughter once again,

In every lifetime, in every world,

May I find my way back to you. ❤️

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...

Women-strong,fierce and free!

S he was already happy and complete, just the way she was. She knew how to fight her own battles, make her own choices and love herself the way she wanted.And anyone who wanted to win her heart? They didn’t need to bring a sword, armor or glorious words..they just needed to be real and accepting. In her story, she was the HERO…and that’s exactly how she planned to keep it.She stopped hoping for a knight in shining armor and started looking for her sword. She didn’t need to be saved, rescued or fixed.She wanted to quit and give up many times...but that wasn’t who she was or ever would be. Her strength and courage was forged in those same fires that ever affected her.She would keep living life fully, loving her people passionately and rising high like she was meant to do ...and in the journey she became strong, fierce and free...in the end, that’s what mattered most!

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 ...

Encompassing Life!
