Teaching and learning are two sides of the same coin. Stitched with the same loin. A good teacher is a life-long learner, An attentive listener, a caring, daring dreamer. Good teachers can invoke love of learning, Great ones incite a quench, a subject’s yearning. Solidify foundations and roots, Without fanfare or toots. My mother, my … Continue reading Teacher and Learner
Slowly but surely when life makes us behold, Turns and events of our parents are getting old. Seeing their medicines grow, walks slow and a stick to hold. Something in us also changes-silently- untold. We see how fast things mold, Time seems heartless and cold. Circle of life is not just a fact, Its a … Continue reading Time Flies
I closed my eyes and when I opened, My daughter grew from three to thirteen. When did my chirpy child, turn into a wily teen? Where did time fly? Between school and swimming classes, Time went by! Between bakes and cakes, And visits to lakes, Time went by! From laughs and jabs, To unending questions … Continue reading Three to Thirteen
Peace-first in thought, And then, can be brought, To word, action, reaction-the entire lot, Slowly, covering us whole- leaving no spot. Our minds are fickle, Distracted by a trickle. Can easily be disturbed, Worried and perturbed. Composure is an acquired trait, It takes practice and patience not to bite every bait, Tranquility of body and … Continue reading Peace
As our children grow, One wishes time would slow. Yet, like a river, in a rapid flow, Time takes no holiday to halt or know. To its wishes we can just bow, Memories and moments are all we can stow.

Unpleasant days can spill into the night, Disturb serenity, sleep and show their unruly might, Cause and consequence playback and trouble like a blight, Twists and turns instead of shuteye are not … Continue reading New Story
Pondering again on women's day about inequality effect, Pressures of juggling home and work are not hard to detect, High time we recognize these imbalances and help deflect, And take serious action beyond recognition and reflect. Societally, we cannot be oblivious to this grave reality, Women’s short and long term wellbeing is not a banality. … Continue reading Equality
Listening to one’s instinct, Voice within- unique and distinct. Can help guide in ways succinct. And help break shackles of mind’s precinct. Hunches are not easy to recognize and receive, Only with patience and practice can one believe, And slowly begin to experience and perceive. Bounties unbound that rarely dupe or deceive. With so many … Continue reading Instinct
With head bowed and folded hands, What should I ask the lord of all lands? Foremost, my gratitude for all your blessings from beginning to encore, Thanks for your grace, felt beyond story and lore. Before I ask and plead for more, Your benevolence is my life’s core. May I forever remain grateful, Stay where … Continue reading Gratitude
From appearances and achievements, To offsprings and occupations, We all have fallen prey to unhealthy competition, One of the worst amongst human affliction. Why is this habit-an easy bait? And such a destructive and debilitating trait? Besides creating a recurring restless state, It dissipates relations and friendships at a fast rate. How does one keep … Continue reading Comparison
