Nurturing Thursday- Stop Digging Into The Past

‘Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave ‘
I know
I can’t change
anything in this world:
anything which is fake
or
the attitude of people towards life,
towards the environment, poverty, religion
and their consumption of nature’s gifts
without sharing equally
I do not approve
either
nature’s law of death
why make people
in old age
vulnerable
why not they can keep
their innocence, fearlessness, and cheer
like a child
till the end
then let death come
with all its novelty
to carry on nature’s law
and allow them to go slowly, gently, peacefully, graciously
down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
I wish I could say:
and I’ve not resigned
but
what ho!
I have no power
no voice
no choice
though
I make a lot of noise
but here I resign.
What else can I do
except changing myself

My niece’s wedding preparations: henna ceremony.
‘Aiburobhat‘ loosely translates to Aiburo (bachelor) Bhat (Rice). The ceremony thus celebrates the last Meal of a bachelor at their own place. In many Bengali families, this ritual is most common.

CAPTION PROMPT
This is perhaps the easiest challenge that appears in this space.
तुम मुझे किसी फ्रेम में फिट नहीं कर सकते
छोटा, बड़ा,
त्रिकोने, चौकोर
आड़ा , तिरछा
मैं सबसे बाहर निकल
हवा में फैल जाऊंगी
तुम मुझ पर कोई भी ठप्पा नहीं लगा सकते
हिन्दू, मुस्लिम , सिख ईसाई
जैन बौद्ध
या कोई भी
मैं बस एक इंसान हूँ
इंसानियत धर्म है मेरा
चाहे धर्म, परांपरा , रूढ़िवाद के नाम पर
चाहे मुझे जलो
फांसी दो या ज़हर पिलाओ तुम मुझे मार न पाओगे
मैं सिर्फ ये तन नहीं
इन सबसे परे
एक स्वंतंत्र
हवा, पानी, सूरज,मिटटी का मिलाजुला रूप हूँ
अनंत
जिसे न कोई बांध पाया था
न बांध पायेगा
मेरा व्यक्तित्व
जो मुझे इन सब दायरों से अलग कर देखेगा
बस उसे ही समझ आएगा
———————————————————————————————————————————-
एक उलझन
थोड़ी सी जगह चाहिए थी
किसी के दिल में जगह बनाने के लिए
किसी को दिल में बसाने के लिए
बिखरने और बिखराने के लिए
फैलने और पाँव पसारने के लिए
पंख फैलाने के लिए
तभी तो उड़ान ले पाती
क्या सिर्फ प्यार
जो बाँध कर रखदे
एक खांचे में
काफ़ी है
व्यक्तित्व में निखार लाने के लिए ?
Om Mani Padme Hum
OM MANI PADME HUM means wishing this universe is full of awareness, high acknowledge and acting with good deeds, lets our awareness leads us out of suffering and use our compassion the help to the others, make a better world.

Perspective
I have changed my perspective
till now it was
thank God!
the glass is half full
now
I see the glass half empty
worried
horribly
if our attitude
towards
misuse and
wastage of water
continues
soon
we will be left
with the empty glass

Reena’s Weekly Exploration Challenge #108
Welcome to a poetic week!
Poetry touches the soul, and has the power to impact
thoughts and lives. Only a writer can appreciate the craft of making poetry
whatever it is – be it a game of rhyme, syllables, structure, choice of words
or a free flow of thoughts.
I’ve chosen two short pieces of iconic poetry, which are
given below. However, your task is not necessarily to write a poem. You can choose any one line out of the
seven given here, and use it as the first line for your piece. You can choose to end the piece with another
line, but it is not a compulsion.
As usual, there is no restriction on length or format of the
piece. Write a post on your blog, and copy-paste the link here. If you are
choosing a pingback, please check if it has worked. There have been instances
