POETRY

Pliant mind

I met a girl
The conversation was pleasant
She was tall, elegant and brown curls
I thought she was good and decent.
Later I told my friends
          About my new acquaintance
               Every detail till the meeting end
                                           But by her description they showed reluctance.
They told me she was a cruel person
Lying, rude and god knows what
They wanted me to shun
Her presence as she was hated by my lot.
So I met her again
With preconception
I thought she was a pain
So I had unfriendly conversation.
Later I was talking to my teacher
Unknowingly this new girl topic arose
My teacher praised her
She was so good from head to toes.
Now I was confused
I talked to many people
And my decision changed
The image formation of her was not simple.
Then a though came to me
How come my judgment changed on her?
It’s so strange and I see somehow
It’s no fault of her.
I am so weak willed
That my mind changes with every idea I get
I am a chameleon
I have to be determined
To not form prejudices and preconceptions and let
People make my mind flexible.
I will meet that girl again
And start afresh also disable

Preconception that caused her pain.

Pink Is For Girls And Blue Is For Boys, Why?

Now it sort of like a norm with everything pink customized for women and depicting feminity whereas blue and darker colours depicted masculinity.   Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I have written in this platform but I am grateful to all of you who have kept coming to this page and enjoying my world.  As I was deciding what to wear for my birthday in May I saw this pink dress which I had bought for Holi which I hadn’t worn because of the whole pandemic. I was still searching if I could find something else I could where instead of that pink dress when a thought came into my mind, Why am I not wearing pink? Since we are born somehow it is seen that if it’s a girl everything is pink and if it’s a boy everything is blue. Even for gender reveal parties and stuff this colour coordination is used. As the child grows up from birthday parties to clothes to room colours, everything is either pink or blue based on the gender. I guess me not liking pink was sort of a rebellion...

Will Earth become a legend?

A big blue planet, lifeless and cold. It seems that nothing moves within it, when I view it from my telescopic window. Elders of our community tell us that this lifeless blue planet was called Earth. Lots of beings(living as well as non living) thrived on it. Human beings flourished and evolved on it. They used the natural resources present on the Earth to develop new technologies but human beings had a tendency to overuse those resources and then wanting more. This sense on unsatisfaction gradually led to depletion of the resources. Scientists and environmentalists persistently warned the human society but they didn't heed the warning. Some scientists and environmentalists started looking for a planet suitable for life.At last after continuous research they found a planet and started moving onto that planet. My grandparents were one of the people who agreed to go to that planet. After a year the Earth was destroyed due to floods, deforestation, volcanic eruption etc. like...

Sifting through the Past

Hello everyone It's been a while since I have posted anything.  While I was clearing my almirah I found old things of mine that I had created in the yesteryears. You feel so nostalgic when you view such things also you laugh at the fact that you once thought of such things and created them.  I always laugh when I read my old diary or letters I had written a few years ago. In that moment you also realise the value of time and how it is so fast. Also, while you are sifting through the sands of past (my father told me this line and I fell in love with it ever since)  you become grateful and thankful of what you've done, people who have helped you learn those things and it keeps you grounded.  Once a while I recommend everyone to go through old memories and be thankful for them occuring in your life. It will help you be proud of your life and help you be more grateful for it.  On that note I present you with a poem that I wrote 5 years ago which I discove...
