Tears streamed down her eyes, one racing the other...

HE had made her cry, for the umpteenth time now. 21 long years of togetherness and all she had endured was an ocean of humiliation and sadness camouflaged by the sprinkles of his “so-called” love. Heavily menstruating at 45, seeing her children move away from home, losing all interest in her existence: weren’t as tormenting as the sharp, taunting words that had pierced through her soul, yet again.

HE was a great man too, one of name and repute in the society but little did the fickle world know of the reality that lay beneath his fakeness. The cheapness and pettiness that he had inherited from his ancestors had only been nurtured over the years. He’d get wasted on several nights and rant on life. Narrate every disgusting thought that lingered in his brain cells. The superficial love for his family and shying away from his children’s responsibility were his prominent traits. He sure funded them but money can’t parallel any emotion, can it? 

HE disastrously hurt the woman, who loved and cared for him the most, trampled upon her self-respect with immense pride and reduced her to nothing but a slave bonded by the meaningless vows of marriage. A single action that displeased the tyrannical majesty would unleash such wrath that could devastate any mortal. His allegations and threats were as hollow as him but his word was to be respected like a commandment

-too lethargic to wash my hair today

-feeling lazy AF to hunt for a shower cap

turns on the faucet with utmost precision...

One wrong turn and BAM... Your hair is all wet!

It is inevitable; the only constant known to humankind - CHANGE 

Is it really so? For better or for worse, does it hold significance for you? Does it affect you? 

Or is it too overpowering to go unnoticed? 

From the ever evolving planet Earth to the minutest scratch on you, the government of a nation or your husband's taste, world's population or the neighbour next door, Change spares none... 

One would suggest you to observe around yourself but first look within yourself. Is stagnation your sole motto? 

Does a transformation boggle your mind? Or have you become indifferent, toughened by the sands of time? And, is complacency, your strongest skill set? 

A puny little word of letters five,

yet essential for this world to thrive.

The presence of which we gladly ignore,

its absence lands us in bloodshed and gore.

Peace isn’t attained in some global conference,

‘Coz you still crib over your neighbour’s fence.

You don’t find peace in yoga & meditation,

for that turmoil hasn’t ceased within.

Some may find it in a noisy place,

others feel distressed even in solace.

Hoisting white flags, releasing white doves,

What difference does it make when there’s no love.

The martyr’s widow prays for harmony and peace

but all she was left with is his uniform’s piece.

Treaties are signed, debates go on forever...

Me: Skipped breakfast. *rumbling stomach*

Sam: PLEASE lend me money ASAP. A severe crisis has struck. I'm about to cry...
