Being a Girl~III (FINALE)

Children are known as the reflection of God because the innocence of their heart and purity of their soul is equivalent to divine. This is the reason that whenever a child smiles in the sleep our elders say they are having chatter and natter with God. This makes me smile as well now because I so love children. I have never seen anything more pure and beautiful than a child smiling in his sleep. No matter how stressed I am or through whatever pain I am going through when I hold an infant in my hands my stress melts down and I forget everything else in the world. I am in joyous mood once again.

But still I believe and you all will also definitely somewhere consent with me over the fact that a girl child is more caring, more thoughtful, and feels the pain of near and dear ones more deeply just because it is her intrinsic nature. Though she has been crafted with a soft façade but her heart is even suppler in comparison to her soft structure. The charm she spreads around with her soft giggle can melt even the most rigid hearts. Her cheerful laughter and innocent gestures can lit up the solemnest environment and diffuse life in the gloomy situations.

But her beautiful heart always has two sides. If one is meant to bestow all love and care the other side is very tough and she knows very well when and how to hold her family and relations at the daunting times.

This truth that children are equivalent to God is so beautiful but while growing up and through all the years that I have crossed all I discovered that there is still stark discrimination in being a girl and being a boy. Even after ages while our society has moved ahead in their thinking and actions but the basic predicaments and hindrances faced by a girl has only improved marginally. Why still today she is answerable for every action? Why still today she has to justify her dreams and thoughts?

Why still she has to compromise? Why for every wrong and unethical incident happened in her life first finger is pointed towards her? Why do our society and the opposite gender forgets that apart from giving and giving she is also an individual who is so complete in herself and she has her own dreams, her own set of beliefs and her own likings and disliking as they have.

No matter what she does and how much she does there is always demand for more from them, while fulfilling those demands she always looses herself completely and when her family and its happiness becomes her priority and she never does this with any obligation. She always does this with utmost grace and delight. This is just a miniscule example of her humility and wisdom which is inherited in her by Almighty. She is actually ascended on this earth to hold this world because God cannot be himself present here for holding his complex universe.

My writings on this topic may never end because a girl is an ocean, no one can ever ascertain all the shades of her enigmatic personality as well as the intensity associated with that personality. I believe no one can ever unlock the pain, hidden strengths and mysteries inside her ever~ to know a woman you need to know and feel her “SOUL”.

History is evident that though the stronger, graceful and most adorable among the two genders she has yesterday, she is today, and she will tomorrow pass through the testing times and always be an exemplary to the generations till this world exists…

I still say- Is it task being a girl someday? Just try to exchange the role for a day….

All love and care in HIS heart crammed

The passion in HIS prosecution

To craft the wonderful creation

Made to bestow love with hilt

He forgot to invest the brains

In the reverse creation

 

Being a girl you are inclined to all risks

You need to tussle and juggle

To explore and create your way in

You cannot speak your heart right

Your actions are on the plunk

You need to justify till the end

You are finest in your deeds

They will try to pull you down

By using ways lean and mean

As your self-respect is your crown

They will bring into play the actions

So that they can show you down

They will try to engage you


In all the callous scuffle

You may lose the hope

You may lose it while you tussle

Fools thy forget the basics

You only possess the tender façade

These simple games of mind

Is the games you play everyday

They forget you are brave by heart

They forget you have tough brain

Still they always end up

To foster the acts of foolishness

To mess with the GIRL OF TODAY!!

Being a Girl~ I am Proud~ I am Blessed~ I will never exchange places…

 

WHEN I WAS LOST IN ME....

WHERE WAS I WRONG?

Sometimes you are so deeply hurt that no matter what happens around you and no matter the major responsibilities you are shouldering at that point of time in life you just do not care. You are so high on emotions that you are ready to toss anything and everything in life to set things right but all you can do is nothing and have never felt so helpless. You may have realized that no matter what plans you make, what dreams you follow or what if you are a very successful and filthy rich person on earth you have to bow your feet in front of powers of someone who is above all our ALMIGHTY.

You are not in your control because your SOUL is hurt. You are so shaken by the unexpected betrayals of LIFE that nothing just nothing in this world can calm you down at that point of time. No hugs, no condolences, no empathy works out in your favour at that time because you are in the control of events and emotions. I don’t know that who was the scholar who once said that TIME is the biggest healer and I thoroughly believe that person was absolutely right, when nothing heals leave it on time and let the time heal.

No one in this world can ever answer that why THIS happened with you. You interrogate yourself thousand times and try to find your mistakes even though intentionally you are never and nowhere wrong. You try to push yourself hard to forget those events or moments or the person related to those events. But, are you successful? No. You are not. More you push yourself to be out of something you are actually pulling yourself deeper into the emotions and pain related to that event and you actually end up hurting yourself more.

You get sage advices and sympathies from the plethora of relatives and allies but I feel none of them can ever do well to your situation because they all will leave to their respective places and on their respective work after few hours or days. Because they all understand your pain and problem but they do not feel it with the similarly intensity your soul is hurt.

So who is left?  Have you ever pondered over this?

There is an old adage by Sant Kabirdas of Indian origin- “ Jaa Tan Laage Vo Hi Jaane aur Naa Jaane Koi”.  Meaning- “Only the body or soul which is hurt knows and feels and no one else can”.

Everyone can cry for you for sometime or they can sympathize or empathize or in addition, they can lend you some help but they can never do anything more than this for you and if they see you are continuously grieving even they will turn their back to YOU.

I believe it is time, you, and someone who is forever with you whether anyone is there with you or not. GOD! Did you ever realize you are getting closer to God and your belief is getting much stronger because those events have drawn you closer to HIM. 

Again I would like to mention a wise saying by Sant Kabirdas- “ Rahiman nij man ki vyaatha man hi raakhe goye, sun aithlahein log sab baant naa leve koi”

Meaning-“ You should keep your grieves hidden in the corner of your heart and should not portray in front of everyone because this world is very mean they will not share it rather they will make fun of your grieves”

Yes I believe in this so much because as my moments and events of happiness are mine so are my moments of pain and events of failure. Both are equally my treasure. They are just not to be shared with anyone and everyone. They are very special to me.

With the passing of time HE gives you a real insight of all the happenings in life and how each and every small event was so well planned by him and related to each other to mould your life and take out best in you. You need to take in charge of your emotions and nurture your pain yourself to give your life the new direction...

As an old adage says- “ Aag mein tap ke hi sona kundan banta hai” which means- “ When gold is continuously smouldered in fire then only it turns into precious treasure”.

More you dwell in HIM more he will develop and discover the wisdom in you and your growth will be so profound that the worldly charms will not be able to touch its height easily.

Needless to mention a saying by Shri Shri Bhagwat Geeta- “Whatever happens is for good”. This line has a very deep meaning as it is related very deeply to our lives. Whatever happens is for good yes and it includes all the good and bad events because behind every pain there is a lot of gain. All you need is to explore.

I can sit and write on this for whole night but I would like to continue about this in the next part of my article but before I end I would like to share something small from my personal experience.

Born and brought up under the watchful and always careful eyes of my parents, they have inculcated great vales in me and I always take pride and wear them on my sleeves. My mother always listens to devotional songs early morning and as I too get up for my daily chores, I am grateful to her that my day also starts by taking HIS name. 

That day a line stuck with me and it was as follow: “My child! Do not worry so much about your worries because I am more worried than you. O! How beautiful was that and now these golden words stays with me forever as I know someone is more worried than me about my problems.

With each passing day my love for him is increasing only because I know he is the only TRUTH is this world which is devoid of all logical reasoning and questioning.  

The dark night

Scars on soul

Were shining bright

Clueless and dismayed

 By LIFE’s

Impetuous betrayal

My feet carried

To the cathedral

 On next turn

In the profound

Graceful silence

I cried my heart out

Wounds were green

I was blue

In our fight

I continually

Interrogated YOU

Every path I traversed

My eyes were set

On the destination

I came across turns

Look at my love

For you GOD

Instead to blame

I always asked YOU

Where was I wrong?

WHEN I WAS LOST IN ME...

WHEN I WAS LOST IN GOD

We all must have been through tough times in our lives when we experienced the most unexpected happenings. The events would have shook our core and there would have been a time when our soul must have cried profousely. We must have felt that this is what the worst that could have happened to us and now from this point our life will never be the same. I believe many would of us would have felt so.

We would have fought with our creator continuously with only one question- Why Me?

Our creator loves us so much that at times to open our eyes and clear our blurred vision he gives us sudden shocks. These days of pain and moments of disdain is actually the time when we get introduced to our real selves and we realize our real capabilties. He is our creator and his every creation is very special and close to his heart. It is just a miniscule effort from his end to see his children read his omens and pave their path to success and happiness for lifetime. We realize the justification of his actions at a later point of time in our lives and get more closer to him. AMEN!!!

 Dreams were lost and shattered

To never see light of the day

I fought with God

How can you abscond?

And leave me forlorn in middle of the way

Game of proposals and disposals going its way

Molding my future silently in your elegant way

The cultivation of my endeavors

Strong prayers the reason of persuasion

When fears were spying to chase my soul

How can you abscond?

I cried alone when I couldn’t figure out your trace anywhere

Silence dignified and personified was your way

I was indebted when I saw immense glory all my way

God I know we fought

All the way through this event

My pain reflected as tears in your eyes

Yes we are best comrades

And can always mend the ways

Yes God you have paved my path with gold

Enlightened with profound glory all the way all the way!!!

WHEN I WAS LOST IN YOU GOD!!!

Blissful n Ironical Story of My Life: With Love Dedicated To God

Blissful Story of My Life

Today it was the ripe time

While HE decided to descend me on earth

Plunk me in your womb

He could not overcome the nostalgia

His heart cried because- “I was his child”

He crafted my structure with his own hands

He blended innocence in every morsel

He whispered love in my ears

He blended humanity in my character

He effused humbleness in my blood

He embedded fellowship in nerves

He granted a heart to feel

His angelic bit was in every bit of me

His beauty blended in with every stroke

His face radiated with my innocence

He couldn’t hide the ecstasy of my purity

He was a proud creator today

Contented with his beautiful creation

I was his alter ego

He was himself present as SOUL in me!

Ironical story of my life

Just in this mean world I opened my eyes

Pure and innocent was my sight

I cried since my eyes met the strangers

Searching and missing you alongside

I know God your decision I had to abide

They bound me with the chains of religion

They broke me in pieces with boundary and region

They manacle me in lifelong relations

They at snail’s pace rooted social requisites

They hollowed me with temporary eruditions

I lost my novelty abiding social reservations

My soul is at complete unrest

My soul has lost its orientation

My soul lives a double life and cries for freedom

It rummages around for lost purity and innocence

With their petite wisdom you had sanctify

 They often dare to question your brilliance

Deep inside I know this is not my authentic side

My soul searches and longs to blend in you

To forever be by your side

God! Come your child needs you beside!!!

LET ME BE LOST IN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
