S for Shikara Stories - # A to Z challenge 2017

In this A to Z challenge , I am attempting very small verses of poetry for all things that are at home or office which are either showpieces or left there for its own reason. I am imagining that each of it is telling its own story !


Is there another sight ?
As beautiful as what I see in this eve's twilight;
With so much glee and teeth all white
I sway the roar with all my might ;
Colors in its infinity , in this land
Can I pack it all away with a magic wand?
Dip my hand , in the blue of blue
Swaying my way , dancing to you;
Flowers bloom in a fingers touch 
Will time not stand , standstill as such;
This little ride ," Shikara shikara"
Will be me with till the end of an era;

I am fertile (#InfertilityNotATaboo)

I am fertile, I now have a 7 seven year old - sounds obnoxious , isn't it , well that's the truth and I find it very weird every time I get to hear this told to me "Thank God, all went well for you and you have this child , not many women are lucky". A land worth millions does not promise a yield, industries which has lived a lifetime cannot predict their next year  - For God's sake , I am a Woman human and I was not born with a tag. I mention the WOMAN in particular, for , the four people who live around my neighborhood only seem to have time to find my missing tag. I indeed thank the almighty for the bundle of joy he has given me , I am here to narrate my first hand experience of my friend with whom I have lived through one of her most unreasonable phase. Her wedding was the most talked about in our circle, she got the guy she loved, she had the best job, she was at the peak of her career, a dream wedding , a dreamier honeymoon in the alps( All comments on...

Reel of Feelings ( A- Anger) #AtoZ Challenge

A- ANGER I knew I was one , it was just 6 weeks and there was a long journey ahead of me . Have I done right in listening to that voice who enticed me into this..yes into this . I heard someone calling "Latha ...Latha..is everything fine" and then it was a roller coaster ride, an experience of a free fall, some back and forth, a flattening , a vacuum , a rush and then stillness. And then the voice again, "So how is it?", I said I want to come back , this is getting a lot stickier than you told me and that was absolutely not the deal we had. It laughed and spoke with its usual calmness "It has just begun my dear , the deal is for a lifetime , she is a lovely human , with her your journey will become more beautiful and in the next few minutes you will know how she feels for you". That word again "feeling " I thought, I am happy feeling happy was what I was saying when there were not one but 3 voices. All was broken, "Are you sure", ...

And it made the difference - Write tribe festival of words #4

Was it in her womb or in the flowers bloom ; Up in those valleys travelled , in the moments that left me baffled ; In the smile of a tender face , all those tears I shed in those phase; What was that which made the difference ; it was the time I learnt to be creative Am I the one to inspire which is what I aspire; Are you the one who inspired and never gave in to what you desired; Through the dark tunnels and the lit up sky , quite a contrary is what I sigh ; What was that which made the difference ; it was the time I learnt to be creative Noises that I hear all the time, in this world of brain that is mine; Words out of a voice , where the need is just for poise; A life worth a million dollar , all it requires is love and valor; What was that which made the difference ; it was the time I learnt to be creative Will we ever meet , O supreme , in your space so sweet; Colors is what I see as far as my eyes could sting like a bee; This is what ma...
