GENERATIONAL MOTHERHOOD


I looked at them with surprise,

A grandmother rearing her mother

was a prize,

With her broken teeth still she

would smile,

To see her daughter has walked

a mile,

I was young but I saw what

nobody did,

The love in the elder woman's

eyes still exist,

Every mother give love to her

helpless child,

But these days the thought of a daughter

caring for her mother is wild,

A daughter who has been cursed

all her life for being a woman,

A daughter who has been second

from her brother in her whole life-span,

The daughter is always by the side

when mother becomes weak,

Then like a child.. daughter's love

is all she seeks,

when my great-grandmother asked

for some salt in her food,

I can see in her eyes the temptation

and the brood,

Like a child there she was.. a more-or-less

mirror reflection of me,

When I ask for something and my mother

smile to disagree,

There may or may not be any love in their

Brotherhood,

But there is An Ocean Of Love In Our

Motherhood.......

Meri pehchan hai kya, Kisi ki beti kisi ki behen hu me, Meri pehchan hai kya, Ek viklang shareer hu me, Meri pehchan hai kya, Wo kehte hai parai hu me, Meri pehchan hai kya Wo kehte sab par bojh hu me. Me bahut likhti hu, Par wo meri pehchan nhI, Me apne liye sochti hu Par wo meri pehchan nhI, Jo wo kehte h, Wo meri pehchaan bn jaata h, Jo me kehti hu, Wo bas unsunaa sa ho jata h, Meri pehchan hai kya? Koi mujhse ye sawaal krta nhi Meri pehchan hai kya? Mujhe koi viklang kehne se darta nhi, Haan hu me viklang, Par mere sapne apaahiz nahi Haan hu me viklang, Par mere iraade apaahiz nahi, Wo kehte h ki tum aise kyu chalti ho? Wo kehte h ki tum aise kyu bolti ho, Sawaal p saawal h . Jawaab deke thak chuki hu, Jaao baatado inko ki me inke liye jee ke thaak chuki hu, Padhti hu, sochti hu aur likhti hu me, Ab Yahi meri pehchan hai Na aurat hu na viklang hu, Ek lekhakika hu me..... Ab Yahi meri pehchan hai..

The Long Walk

Pulling up myself up the floor, I was 14.. when I learned to walk, Walking without support was a family dream, That I didn't thought could ever come true, I sat there.. wondering how could people walk.. without falling back?, I sat here.. there.. Everywhere because I couldn't walk, I used to believe that walking was a gift .. that God forgot to shower on me, So.. I learned to compensate... Compensate the lack of walking, As walking was an unachievable goal, For someone with 60% disability, To the sense of listening and observing, When a kid first learn to walk.. He wants to discover something new, So did I when you learn to observe, I observed how people treated me, Some with love and some with ignorance, I realize people see me differently, I realize that they don't see my thought process, They just see the physical me, Pulling up myself up the floor, I was 14.. when I learned to walk, I could then just see walls, Walls that I could hold on, To move

If they fell in love with a person with disability

This is just a observation, Maybe I did the same, Once upon a time, Glorified someone, Who is in Love, With the person with a disability, I was at fault, But now I understand, How wrong was it, We often do the same, To someone who's the better half of  a differently abled, We don't realize that, It's their Right, To have a regular relationship, To have fights, To get the time.. To understand each other, We don't realize, That we are wrong at our part, Why should we do that? Everyone has some broken pieces, That can't be glued, Yes, we can see an overt disability, But do we know, What's going on inside? All we are looking at the abled person helping a disabled, It's sacrifice in the eyes of the society, The abled person becomes a Hero, In the eyes of the society, We tell them, You are great, That you choose a differently abled, As a life partner, The abled person is often seen victimized, You are so brave, That you choose a
