Soak no more...

-
A lot has been happening around us. And in some way, almost everything that makes it to the news these days, is a story of the victory of wrong over right. Truth over lies. Hatred over Lies and Insanity over Sanity.

We watch the news. Our reactions range from the typical " Iss desh ka kuch nahi ho sakta" to "I want to change things but i don't know how." Our contribution ends there.

 We make sure that nothing has happened to the ones we love.Make sure that our little world is alright. Then change the channel and the thought is out of our minds.

This apathy is our biggest problem and not the crimes that happen because of it. The cause is our indifference and the effect is the increased rates of crimes.

I realize this as many of you do too.

So when  The Surf Excel Matic SoakNoMore Contest page on Indiblogger asks "What do you think of when you hear the words Soak No more" ?


This is what I feel.

Lust prevails, dignity loses,
Animal instincts come to the fore,
Hunger for flesh rules the mind,
Dignity commands, in lust,
Soak no more...
Corruption marches to the front,
Can't take it anymore,
Truth says, hear me roar,
Corrupt, fear for you life,
In corruption, Soak no more!
Hatred spread, love loses
using religion as the core,
Insanity rules the sane,
Sanity pleads, in hate,
Soak no more...

Lets Soak no more of the Hate, Lust, Violence and Insanity.

Every crime is man made and conducted. If only we keep a check on ourselves, our world will be a better place to live in.

Lets be like the Vibrating molecules of Surf Excel Matic that get to work to remove dirt without soaking. We have soaked enough. It time to remove the dirt now.

    We've to be like the vibrating molecules of Surf Excel, that was quite an interesting simile to sum up the write up. Indeed, it is the time for proactive action on individual scale.

    Great beginning and a powerful poem. Apathy indeed is one of the biggest problems in our country.

"Say you love me"

They slept close.Slowly, his hand slid inside her clothes.She didn't react, pretended to sleep.He touched her and it made her face him.She opened her mouth to ask but his lips stopped her.Withdrawing, he asked her, "say you love me", she could just nod.She does not remember what happened next except the excruciating pain enough to bring tears in her eyes. Next morning she asked him "I told you I love you then why did you hurt me bhaiya?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This post is an attempt to highlight the fact that child abuse is not something that happens in others houses only.It could be happening right under our noses, making us ignorant.It is not something to be ashamed of and swept under the carpet in the name of society.With a little awareness from our side, we can make sure that it doesn't hurt to be a child. ----------------------------------------------------------

Little packets of hope...

Things are not going your way, Black is more evident in the gray, Not a smile on your face, Nothing gives you solace.. Everyone and everything appear distant, In favoring you, luck seems hesitant, You feel time is not on your side, and there is nothing you haven't tried. Just when you think it can't get worse, Something happens and life seems like a curse, You stop smiling and give it all up, Not half filled, its an empty cup. I am the same as you, Having felt this,in times old and new. But now when i look and ponder, It all makes perfect sense, i realize in wonder. The cup was always filled up to the half, I found no reason to not laugh, There are little joys around in every season, Always believe everything happens for a reason. Just when you think its difficult to cope, Look around, You will always find , Little packets of hope!

I don't wish for a fairy tale....

Neither the red roses, nor the candle light.. No popping of the bubbly on a moonlit night.. I don't live on the rainbow, the huge castle isn't mine, long tresses are Rupenzel's, without the genie i do just fine! Not the sea shore bonfire, limo is too huge for two.. Dont want a life queen size.. only love n comfort will do! All of it is impressive but am not looking for materiality.. I dont wish for a fairy tale.. just a beautiful reality..
