My Mom


You gave me life
Made me breathe
Made me walk
Made me talk
You held me tight
In your arms
Loved me
Cared for me
Protected me
My mom
Taught me
And when I didn’t listen
You even scolded me
My mom
I remember all these moments
And miss you
My mom
Just wanna say
I love you
Forever
My mom

HORRENDOUS EXPERIENCE OF TRAVELLING BY TRAIN IN INDIA

I was too excited as I was heading to my home, Agra. But as soon as I stepped inside Tapti Ganga Express my mood drastically transformed from a blissful one to cheerless. Firstly, as I saw the train boarding at Khandwa station I got petrified gazing at the throng of people at the doors of the train and inside it. I had to get inside swiftly as the train pauses there only for two minutes. I took my seat which was already occupied by two people. I wanted to tell the individuals to get up from there but in the entire coach the site was the same. A coach has 72 seats but more than 100 people were swarmed. The filthy stares of the men forcefully made me write about MY nauseating experience. I was getting bothered and started anticipating for the ticket collector to look into the matter. When I saw him approaching, mixed thoughts came into my mind. I knew he would do NOTHING about it. At the same time I imagined him as a dutiful Government servant who would fine all the extra people in the coach. Nothing like that happened and he passed away from the coach like a BLIND man. The carefree attitude of the Railways provoked and aggravated my frustration with the disgraceful stares of the men who made me feel insecure and unconfident about myself. I am posting a video which says, 
 MERA THARKI INDIA..Do watch it and ponder over it.


  The onus lies on all of us in changing the society. I am probably doing my bit by writing. As it is aptly said,
 PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD.
