Being a woman is easy. Being a lady takes insane courage!

Being a woman is easy. Being a lady takes insane courage!

Courage to hold her own when she's broken into a million pieces, too tired to even get up.

Courage to manage a smile when she sobs into her pillow, nights after night.

Courage to look away from the unpleasantness she's subjected to.

Courage to not react when it’s most difficult to.

Courage to not shy away from saying what needs to be.

Courage to be dignified when she has been deceived.

Courage to hope for new beginnings when there's despair all around.

Courage to have the grit of a tigress when nothing’s going her way.

Oh, yes!

Being a woman is easy. Being a lady takes insane courage!

He...


She consumed his senses for most of the years He had known

He speaks of worldly gains to get over his pain

Every now and then He sees her mane curving softly on his face

He longs to shield her

Sing her songs of his victories

Amidst a hundred men He feels her hand

On a cold morning far and wide He sees the arch of her back clear his sight

On harsh days He makes a pillow of her chest

Every day He tries and struggles hard but cannot see her face

They say He took the wrong turn where memories fade….

Bit Of Me, Full Of You !


Bit of peace
bit of hope in the air

I fill my heart with your memories 
& bring you here.

Bit of nostalgia
bit of sorrow in the air

I fill my eyes with your dreams
& bring you here.

Bit of me
full of you in me

I fold my hands
& bring us near.
