Stereotyped


Don’t let the stereotypes typecast you
Into a little girl,
Who can play only with dolls and not toy-cars…
Who can’t play cricket,
Just because they say it’s a boy’s game…

Into a young teenage girl,
Who drops out of school sports team,
And joins dance classes instead,
Because it’s graceful enough…

Into an adolescent girl,
Who is stalked over and over,
Until she gives in to be in a relationship,
Because that’s how the popular movies define persuasion…

Into a corporate lady,
Who fears to be aggressive for all the right reasons,
As she might be judged as "too bossy" for all the wrong ones…

Into a girl turning to a marriageable age,
And is supposed to leave her job,
Because that’s how she is supposed to be,
A care giver and not a bread earner…

No supernatural power will come for our rescue,
The supernatural is all within,
Recognizing that supernatural is the super power…
Don’t let the stereotypes typecast you,
Just be the person you want to be…

Melting Moments As this semester is passing away, I am actually a bit anxious about the life coming ahead and at the same time am a bit sad about the one am going to leave behind. Winding up has always been difficult for me, but this time it is going to be heart racking. This place has actually made me what I really am today . Met new people, who have now started defining my being, their presence actually define my fun, and their absence make me feel miserable at times. And suddenly I’m realizing that most of them will not going to be around anymore . It seems as if the movie is approaching its “the end” and a sequel is about to be released with a whole new set of characters and is going to be shot at a completely new place.   From my personal experience I have learnt that long distance relationships are difficult to maintain and it makes me a bit apprehensive about the changes in the configurations that are about to come. It seems as if an era has passed away but in a c

RIVER RAFTING @ RISHIKESH

Recently I have been to HARIDWAR, in the abode of holy Ganga for our training cum touring at BHEL HARIDWAR. There we had so many bizarre experiences. Each day opened up as usual but ended up with a new experience sometimes pleasant, sometimes bad, but each time leaving behind a whole lot of memories to cherish with. Be it the TUFAANI NIGHT…which took away my sleepers or be it the one with the mosquitoes when these little creatures kept buzzing into our eardrums each time we tried to sleep.  But the best and the most memorable of all was the RIVER RAFTING, the first adventure sport of my life, which I feel is worth sharing with you all.    Just imagine the freezing water of GANGES trying to push your boat off just as the bull does to the cowboy, truly ASTOUNDING , I know it sounds crazy when you listen but when you do it trust me no other experience in your life can beat this one at any cost . It was a beautiful Sunday morning which took us to RISHIKESH , about 25 km from HARIDWAR. W

गर्मियों की छुट्टियाँ

दो महीने की लम्बी छुट्टियाँ , दादी और नानी के घर पर बिताती ... रात को दादी की राजा- रानी की कहानियों में , खुद को  राजकुमारी मान कर ,  अपने ही सपनों में खो कर, सो  जाती ...    सुबह उठ कर, नानी के संग पूजा की थाली , फूलों से  सजाती और  उन के भजनों, के दो-चार शब्द  जो समझ आते, उन के साथ गुन-गुना कर बड़ी  खुश  हो जती ...  दादा के संग बजार घुमने जाती, और पड़ोस के चाचा की दुकान  पर   बैठे, लोगो को,  राम- राम साहब कह के,  उन से चार  टॉफ़ी पा कर , अपनी फ्हराक की छोटी-छोटी जेबॆए भर  लाती  ... दोपहर को नाना के संग ताश खेलती,  और कागज के गुलाम- बादशाहों  की  अनोखी दुनिया में खो कर, नाना की गोदी के तकिये पर,  सर रख कर सो जाती ... शाम को चाचा- चाची और मामा-मामी,  वाले दीदी-भईया के संग  लुक्का-छुप्पी  खेलती, और सब को भाग- भाग कर पकड़ लेती ... आज भी खेल तो वही  लुक्का-छुप्पी   का  चल रहा है, पर गर्मियों की वो   छुट्टियाँ , खुद ही जाने  कहाँ  जा कर छुप गई  हैं  ... कि मेरे खूब खोजने
