Missing School Days

Bring those golden days back to me,
which I miss to an utmost degree;

Retard this time's pace so that I could see,
those wondrous moments of my life's tree;

Oh! those never ending gossips with friends,
and illogical discussions about the latest fashion trends;

On the bench we used to stand,
when tried to spoil the school's brand;

Keen we were to know the examination papers,
so tried to flatter the school teachers;

Loitering in the School campus was a common thing,
the only way to bunk classes and enjoy the School's surroundings :D;

Yet it is something I miss a lot,
those teachers who endowed me up with supernatural thoughts;

Now life has become hectic and increased its pace,
we have to struggle to win life's race;

Still I wish that glorious past to come back again,
impossible it is bacause life has moved to a different lane.

"An Eternal Flight to Heaven"

Another fine poem by me, read it :).......

Fly with your imaginary wings,
Over every dark and mighty storm,
Rise above all tornadoes and harm,
Till you reach the place where you find white- robed angels sing,
Yearning for eternal peace and joy,
This place is 'Heaven' where a Human seem to be a mere toy,
The Angels' world is a divine thing,
Giving forth the world that rapture bring,
Holy, holy is everything including life and death,
There is always a paradise within each breath.

Population Control -India's Biggest Challenge!

After every two seconds a new child is born in India, and by the end of the day 43,200 new-born babies join the population force! Can we afford to provide proper food, jobs, schools, housing and other basic needs to the ever-increasing population? Obviously, no! So why are we not taking concrete measures to stem the demographic tide? Population beyond a standardised limit gives rise to poverty, child labour, school dropouts, malnutrition, increase in slums and rise in communicable diseases.

India's population is very high compared to the global density. Can we sit idle as the population bomb ticks every second? India need to control population as soon as possible, and its need is more urgent than that of China. Some years back, India and China had the same rate of population. However, China took preventive measures by adopting One Child Policy and the rate of population was curbed successfully, while India's population continues to grow exponentially.

The law that China has formulated requires people to take permission if they want to have a second child, and pay to the local body compensation for the additional us of common resources such as road, power, health, etc.. India is still short of some policies, as there are no such policies yet enacted! It is often said that education is the best method in creating awareness among people people regarding small families. The education of girls is most important for this.

The idea of small family norm would be possible only when the mother is educated, children go to school, there is safe motherhood, child survival rate is high and there is easy access to affordable health resources and hygenic water supply. But are these basic needs available for all families? So long as our policy makers and political leaders are not interested in just providing the basic necessities of the people, population control will just remain a mere slogan!

Can we deny Human rights to women??

Right from the womb to the tomb, she has been carrying on both her mind and body the tell-tale marks of violence and discrimination caused by man, the Society, the outdated laws, the media, the politicians, the Government and the political parties, as well. There has always been a talk about human rights to refugees, the labour class, but have we ever paid heed to the basic human rights of which women are deprived of??

The discrimination and violence she is inflicted upon may vary from one nation to another, but the crux of the matter is that she is still Second Class Citizen all over the world, be it Afghanistan or USA. Perhaps, no Society and no Nation can claim that women enjoy the same rights as men do.

See how we deny the right to born to the female species! Female foeticide is becoming the best scientific method to easily get rid of the girl child even before she is born (thanks to the scientific advancements , though!). In collusion with doctors and clinics operating in big cities, they try to pre-determine the sex of the child to be born and let the guillotine fall if the sex of the foetus is female.

Even when she takes birth, she is not spared. In several poor families, the fear of the prospect of dowry resort to Female infanticide. So we deny the girl child even the basic human right to life!

Many girls are not sent to school because their parents are of the opinion, "there is no need of wasting money and time by sending their girl child to school, when they already know that she has to go into another family." This explains why female illiteracy is rising exponentially. On one hand, Universal Declaration of Human Rights and our Constitution provide for the Right to education. But how many of our girls enjoy this right?

Yet another social practice that comes in the way of girls enjoying the rights to education and health is the evil of Child Marriage. Child Marriage is still very popular in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Bihar and UP. Child Marriage deprives young girls of their right to education and prepares them for motherhood, before they are mentally and physically prepared for it.

None knows the real number of women and minor girls who become victims of rape year after year in our country. Official figures don't indicate the exact number because many victims don't come out in the open fearing social stigma. The victim is not supported anywhere and has to go through one trauma after another at police stations, courtrooms and the rest of her life. Thus she is deprived of the right to honour! Even in regard to inheritance rights, the women don't enjoy the same rights as men do.

The belief that men and women are equal in Society is more a myth than a reality. Government is not seeking suitable measures to rectify all this. The Supreme Court of India need to implement strict laws in this regard, so that plight of women don't become dilapidated. Women should enjoy all the rights as men enjoy, so that the World moves to a brighter future ahead!

You walked secretly into my life!!

Life takes U-turns at various junctions, be it any situation.........what's in store in can never be predicted.......somethings just comes as a surprise package, they are never expected........but yeah they come, stick to our lives, nd then its hard to forget them.......these things live forever!!!!......:)

Here's a small poem i wrote, and dedicated to someone who came to my lyf as a surprise.......don't knw where it'll go, but dis poem says it all......

Here goes the poem............

You walked secretly into my life,
Captivating and lovely to my mind.
I've never met u,
But i feel my world change.
I've never held you,
But my soul is born anew.
I've never heard u,
But i can feel your giggles and smiles.
I've never felt you,
But i know u are the orchard in my jungle.


You walked secretly into my life,
As my lady charm,
Now i know everything will go my way.
As my inner strength,
Now i know i'll leave no stones unturned.
As my guide,
Now i know the route i'll follow will lead me to victory.
As my motivator,
Now i know u'll be there to take me to the pinnacle.


You walked secretly into my life,
And all your pain,
I look as my own.
And all your fears,
I'll cast into the sea.
And all your worries,
I'll dig into the grave.
And all your happiness,
I'll multiply.
And all your sorrows,
I'll divide.


You walked secretly into my life,
And no matter you choose to stay or go,
My life is forever changed.
Just because you laughed with me for a moment in time,
And because i choose to love you for the rest of mine.
