Perfect family is a myth.

 Perfect family is a myth....

When the members laugh and giggle,

They share the stories of their success and struggle,

When kids in the house smile as they play,

When, together the family eats and prays......


The elders are given respect,

Such family has delightful prospect,

Grand kids listen to tales from grandparents,

Lullabies are sung, every night, inherent.....


Happy faces are seen in imperfect frameworks,

Holding onto each other tightly, gains some perks,

Mistakes are meant to happen but everyone owns them,

Not blaming each other and causing mayhem.....


Can you help me? Isn't a strange question to ask,

Nor is it inferior to seek help to complete task,

Together, is how people are bound,

Close knit, is best fit that sounds.....


Family gets together for photographs, once in a while,

There's chaos to line up and smile,

Who stands where? And who sits next to whom,

Total mess it is, but a piece of heirloom......


Traditions are carried forward,

Sometimes willingly, sometimes awkward,

But simple alterations seem fine,

Nobody loses a fortune to afresh define.....


Dinner tables are filled with chats,

Arguments are bound to happen, this and thats,

Not always there's harmony in thoughts,

When five fingers of hand are different, there ought to be twists and knots.....


When there's clamour, that's when a home feels full,

Without people squabbling, it's just dull,

Opinions would always be diverse,

But for sorrowful heads to lean, there will be strong shoulders, in times adverse......

Hand in hand, the members will progress,

Perfectly or imperfectly, but the problems will be addressed,

Trust and faith is the key,

There's always us, not just you and me.....



Perfect family is a myth,

Family should be happy, even if perfection is level zilch,

Giggles and chuckles, over and beneath,

With echos of laughter reaching zenith!


That's how a family should be who cares if it's perfect or not?

Which diagonal lane?

 What should I wear? The most customary question that haunts every woman. And it was our school reunion after, nearly 20 years. So I had to look my best. It's a different high that you get when you are confident among the school friends and classmates, whether it's carrying yourself dignified enough or it's conveying that you've attained a position for yourself. Specially to the ones, you used to compete with. When, I never compromised on my rank in school, how could I compromise on my appearance and presentation to the same set of classmates? So I picked up an elegant dress and accessories to match. And Vollaa! I was ready to go. Driving your own car to the venue is dope on another level. I didn't know the locality so I switched on the maps. The 'Map lady' started with her instructions, in that monotonous voice. And let me tell you, the way this foreign woman pronounces Indian names of roads, it's sometimes hilarious. You've to keep looking down, zo...

Longing for December!

Image
Those chilly winds.... Those cold nights..... Those pellucid skies.... Those snowy aisles.... I long for that December, I dream and always remember...... The warmth of the quilts, The cosiness of hugs.... Sipping some hot coffee, Flavours of vanilla, chocolate and hazelnuts...... I long for that December, I dream and always remember...... Silent nights, Long walks.... Quick bites, Short talks.... I long for that December, I dream and always remember..... Birthdays, Holidays, Christmas and New years, Celebrating with friends, close ones and dears.... Love the wintry weather, Wrapped up in a sweater....... I long for that December, I dream and always remember..... JUI.
