His Universe

My first poetic piece:

HIS UNIVERSE

I just can not take my mind off
and feel so embellished
and so fortunate
that I have him
that how he greets me
off the work,
recommence our day
cold winter out
flurrries dancing in the wind
two arms wide open
waiting to embrace his universe
his universe, me

Women of the World

I used to wonder when I was younger that if everyone sees things just the way I see, if everyone thinks like I do, if everyone has feelings like I do.

I realized it later that yes, everyone can, at that moment I realized I got matured! It's such a beautiful realization! Realization that you understand more than you used to! you don't need any proof for this, it just comes to you, with experiences, with age.

I was very fortunate to get showered with love, care, fun we can think of during my childhood. Not many women are so fortunate in this world.

I was reading Jithu 's blog and started thinking on being a woman in this world. It's not easy to be a woman! I hear from many guy friends of mine that if they were given a choice, they'd have selected to be a woman, because women's life is so easy and simple! These dear friends of mine have not seen all the facets a woman has to go through, that's all I can say.

We just celebrated women's day a few days ago, but this world needs much much more than that. I just read about this little lady- Gulsoma, I was tearing by the time I reached the end of the ARTICLE. These women need our support, I can not even think of the things she went thru during her 4 to 11 years of age period. May god bless her.

I was watching Dr. Wayne Dyer's Inspiration lecture series on TV recently, they had a woman- Immaculee Ilibagiza from Rawanda in the spotlight, who survived the Rawandan holocust for 3 months without any physical movement, starving in a bathroom.

Eleven-year old Gulsoma from the above mentioned article, Immaculee make us realize that the world is not a dreamland we think of.

The least we can do, contribute to a cause of woman's day is send some warm supporting words to them..
