Because it’s hard to say in Person!



We need men. We- mothers, daughters and sisters need men to raise ourselves. Most important role of any men is of Father. And that the bond of father-daughter shares is indescribable. I am not that type who would keep posting pictures with dad on Facebook or WhatsApp. Even I won’t hug my dad just to wish him Happy Father’s Day. And I might not want my dad to read this post also. So here it goes; my feelings for my dad.

Dearest Dad,

You are the only man in my life who loved me before I was even born. Loved me before I could open my eyes or speak anything. I am now 22 but your love for me still remains intact. I have always looked up to you, I want to become like you. Even as a child, I loved your attention; running behind you everywhere. I still remember the day when I changed my school, how you came till my classroom to drop me and ensured that I had a place to sit and someone as a classmate to make me comfortable. I still remember how those eyes were filled with pride when in every course, in every test, pretty much in anything when I excelled. Today when I get upset over my boss for talking in a harsh tone with me, I know you are always there to listen to it and make me understand. You know I love you the most because every time I met with an accident I was so afraid to call you, and when you would ask me the reason, I would end up crying by seeing you. You have till now never raised your voice when it comes to your daughter and that is I can easily share everything with you. I am so proud of the fact that you respect my every decision regarding studies or regarding marriage. You have never forced me for something. All you wanted is me to get excelled in whatever I do in my life and be independent to accomplish my own needs. On this day, I still remember the days of your struggle still providing best education in best school to me. You had to earn at age of 16 to survive and still you managed to get a degree on your own terms. And today you are so successful. Still I hate it when you don’t get yourself anything. And that is why even if once in a while you get yourself a phone or a car we are so happy. Every son should learn from you how to take care of his mother. I still know your endless sleepless night while grandmother was sick. You are the best. And dad, I promise you one day that I would get you a big car; would not let you pay for my weeding and under me you and mom would live a comfortable life. At least you deserve these after providing me the best education. Thank you isn’t enough for anything.

Yours loving daughter,
Pranjali

Good Morning Ma’am!

“A week in Mumbai”; with this shock I confronted myself. 3 rd outstation in 3 rd year of Internship. And yes I was the senior of two of us going for the office trip. A part of me was excited and a part of me tensed. And there was responsibility on me. The 1 st one probably to catch train on time, followed by reaching the right destination. Finding a lesser known destination is toughest in Mumbai. The time came. My train was scheduled at 10. Things were going on right! And I arrived on time despite the not-at-all expected rains in the month of May in Ahmedabad. But to my relief because of the rains the weather turned so good. And the journey started. Upper berth and book to provide me comfort, with cell phone; enough for whole night. Only a few more hours until I was there. The night passed by with hardly 3 hours of sleep and the station arrived. I was half dead by then with 8 hours of journey. Finding transportation is not a difficult task in Mumbai even at wee hours. The city...

White Walls

I still stand staring at those white walls, They say it did not depict any color at all How could I explain what I saw! Years had passed, but memories were still raw There was so much to it on another side, Surreal it felt, felt like rules I had to abide Relations I nurtured and cared became sour, I knew it ended even if I tried until last hour! Now that the wall was built to separate, That day I knew it was time to regret Everything felt apart, realized it was my mistake, I only wished if Life could give me a retake. I still think about trying all the ways, Even where every deed of mine turned grey That name will be swept away by another windfall, But I will still stand staring at those white walls!                                          ...

Titleless

When you feel trapped inside and all doors get closed, Everything moves against the direction you supposed! When life loses faith and brings despair, Even a best friend's voice cannot repair When the journey you begin seems so far, For other it ended and you aren't still at par When the clouds of darkness surround your head, You know deep down enough is being said When your dreams you feel are too high, You want to laugh around but you sigh It may seem permanent and force you to give up, That is the time my friend you must cheer up! Don't you think you lost, your time may come soon Believe me, your hard work one day will get opportune. P.S. My first try to writing poems
