Start Talking!

Eight is what we are now Come on everybody, take a bow! Oh! Spare us the horror Don’t ask us how? Corona that hit this year Burnt our heart and our rear!  😜 Life came to a halt all of a sudden Everyday it felt, like a new burden. But then we recovered well And decided to ring the happiness bell. For we cannot keep a frown Although we could not hit out of the town. Within the four walls, with ma and pa We started our dances and singing la-la! Carrom and chess, piano and guitar Whatsapp and facebook, Insta and Twitter! Thats how we started to enjoy our days And out came the bright sun rays. Weather, be it gloomy or sun Could no longer hold us from having fun. Baking and Icing, cooking and cleaning  We started focusing, only on winning. Computers we started, Coding was fun Apps after apps, we made on the run! Vaccine is what we are all waiting on Let’s hope it arrives before all are gone! Life is not the same with having a face cover Feels like a ship, which lost its radar! Mask...

The virus that’s new In manifolds it grew! Starting in China, and spreading its tentacles world wide It has taken everyone on one dangerous ride! Corona is its name And, it has got all desired fame; Must say, the people are really lame Please understand, its no tic-tac-toe game!! What is its origin, what is the cure No scientist has no clue, they ain’t not sure. The doctors and nurses are helping the patients endure People’s safety is their prime concern and that they quite ensure. The police and government are doing their best Can we at least ensure we do the rest? The minimum that’s required from us is just to stay indoors And, bring a halt to the trend that now seeing up soars! Little bit of ache, cough and fever Almost like flu, but corona is the cager; No other virus could push the world behind door Its impacting both, the rich and the poor. Looks like the world is crushing down The smiles are all, but turning into frown ...

This has been quite a year Off it went, in full gear  ⚙️  ; Six just flew It would be so short, we wish we earlier knew! Mommy has joined office again, Papa, as usual, just pretend! I now know to figure out ways To make both-of them bend and shower me praise. Time, Money and multiplication that’s new in the course  Kannada as third language, govt has enforced! EVS is full of topics that charm Learning to keep myself safe is better than any harm. English is now full of comprehension and grammar I wish to be a teacher, definitely not a farmer. All professions are noble, nothing against it What I make of my life is, but my treat. Computer is fun, have always enjoyed it Tux typing and all, never had to quit; Hindi, O my That being my second language, Can never say bye  👋 !! Teachers make me stand in the class at time, Naah, I am not naughty; But talking is my crime!! But then its in genes  🧬   Paternal...

My kid is in class 1 of a renowned school in Bangalore. We started with this because it was closer to our place. Not that we had a great feedback about it. We thought, a school is a school. And a teacher is a teacher, a guru - someone worthy of respect. Alas, our whole concept of school and teacher had turned 180 degree up and down once we got to know the ground realities of this school. We started with JKG. The teacher started showing colors right from the first term. My kid had been a sharp kid. The very first couple of months into the school, I saw her performance degrading. During the first PTM, I checked with the other parents how their kids were doing. Everyone had the same idea that their kids were only getting worse. First I thought maybe kids are taking time to adjust. But no, what shocked me was couple of students were doing well! Really well. I was of the thought - wow smart kids! I wish that was true. Finally turned out the teacher was taking private tutions for those ki...

CAB: the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, passed in December 2019. The Parliament of India amended the Citizenship Act of 1955 to grant a citizenship status to the Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan, who entered India before 31st of December 2014. Why Assam is reacting: The earlier date was 1951 for the rest of India and 1971 for Assam. Assam was already bearing the burnt of 20 long years as compared to the rest of India. Does the rest of India even understand how many more of migrants are already considering Assam to be their home due to that 20 years difference? Do you understand how the Indigenous  people are suffering? Do you understand that the illegal migrants are known as ‘mia’ and we, are known as ‘Axomia’. Do you know that these illegal migrants have made a mockery of our ‘Axomia’ culture and that very word and says that Assam means ‘Assam for mia’. Seriously? Do you understand that we fear we would lose our iden...

The feeling I get thinking about the way you did touch me That touch, without you actually touching me; Just the way your eyes captivate mine Oh God, would I ever be fine! Every time I look at you, I can't help feeling happy My whole being start singing songs and body goes all preppy! The moment I see your lips curling into a smile Be rest assured, my heart stops for a while! Why do you slow down your pace? Am I too, like one of your other race? Do you feel any heaves when you do see me? Or, is it only me, who feels you are the key? Do you get nervous when I am around? Or, is it you just try to hide your frown? Do butterflies flutter in your tummy too? Or, what I am expecting is too good to be true? Let me just wake up now To reality, let me bow! This cannot ever be true, why am I even thinking of how? My life is already in different row!
