Women are always described as kind and caring, Multitasking and always sacrificing, Would you not agree that it should be human nature? Not merely a female gesture, Besides her job, she deals with food, childcare and parents, In this agitation, she has no self-care or relaxing moments, House should be a shared responsibility for all who live there, When everything is put on one shoulder, how can it be fair? We teach our daughter household chores, but not to our son, Ever wonder why she has to be the responsible one? We must end gender-based accountability, A task that isn't gendered is equality, Support her in breaking the stereotype of being sensitive like a flower, Have a desire to see the women in your life to lead in places of power, If she can be happy to see you grow and pray for you to achieve your aim, I don't understand why it's so hard for you to be known by her name, The technology we have built has more equality we can exclaim, Regardless of who ...

 In response to watching a movie for the first time, I wrote a poem. I would like to thank  "Rocketry: The Nambi Effect". I hope Nambi sir this poem reaches you. Probability of innocence Movies has always something to take away, Reality of our world it convey, Investing in science and technology is not waste of money, Without advancing we wish to strengthen economy that's funny, Patriotism is not about hurting someone listening to a news, It is bringing out the truth behind it than hurting the accused, We need to stop judging a person on hearing a bad story, Forgetting the good deeds of past and their glory, On baseless accusation some people start violence,  Even forgetting the probability of innocence, We live in a world competitive, But it doesn't mean we should be insensitive, If we cannot help a person in his bad days, We have no right to call the person disgrace, If one is accused doesn't means he is at fault, Have patience for the truth to unfold, The perso...

 I don't know in future where I will land, Only today is in my hand, After a long time, I am with you, So I want to appreciate this time without any due, On your wedding anniversary all, I want to say, Ma and Pa l am trying my best to pen it down in my way, I am grateful for both of you in my life, Like a responsibility, you stood by me in all my strife, Even though sometimes we have a different perspective, But in the end, we come to a conclusion collective, Like you say that is what a family does, We respect each other's opinion without creating fuzz, I know something about me you like to be changed, I too have complaints about the way house is arranged, But in the end, we know life is a wabi-sabi deal, That's why as a family we stand together in zeal, All these years we have had bad and good days, But you both made sure we don't travel in different ways, It might be just sheer luck that I got you, But better parents than you no one I knew, Words might fall short if I...

There are many moments when I wish to speak, But I stay silent because I know I am weak, Not physically or mentally I could fight this unknown, But as a 'human', to that victim something I own, Her bawl with pain haunts my dream, She asks me "Isn't this an inhumanity's extreme?"   I couldn't say a word there, And I tried to disregard like I didn't hear, I know within a few days everything will be alright, By watching a stand-up comedy I would feel light, After all, I am not a revolutionary to bring a change, But now this mature thinking is not working that's strange, Might be because I am a woman I couldn't ignore it anymore, My blood boils when someone asks "What did she wore?", All I want to ask is," How could you justify such a heinous crime?" Don't support the culprit with your conservative beliefs all the time, Even if she was a whore, "Her no means no", know it! Think log...

* This poem is a part of "Whiskey In A Tea Cup" anthology book Each day before I sleep, I introspect my life deep, Looking at the future and riding through the past, Remembering the moments which I wished to last, The future I am heading to, About my dreams that are due, Things I did wrong, Where I stood strong, Things I left behind, Each decision that my today designed, Sustaining the exams that create a storm inside, Moments when my priorities I had to decide, All the sacrifices I made, Years studied waiting for the day it's price will be paid, The time when for job l left my parents alone, How hard I worked so today an identity I own, The joy of no more my expenses are born by Dad now, Adding contribution to the household makes me wow, Once I couldn't leave my house for a day, Today I visit it like a vacation stay, It seems one turns wise with growing age, I learnt from failures in life's different stage, No more I am the kid who spoke...

कुछ समझ नहीं आ रहा, क्या हो रहा है यहाँ, आज खामोश है सारा जगह, अफ़सोस बस यह है कि हम भी है एक वजह, कल से बहुत उम्मीद थी, मगर वक़्त से हम हारे, आज समय इतना है, मगर गिन रहे हैं तारे, चिड़िया जैसी कैद हैं, एक जगह दिन रात, आज समझ आया, वह बेज़ुबान जानवरों की बात, अजीब है हमारे कैद होने से, खिल गए दुनिया के रंग, अब लग रहा हैं कि, हम बेवफा थे, ये धरती के संघ, अब तक लग रहा था कि, हम ले जा रहे है देश को आगे, मगर अब समझ आया, सिर्फ अपने स्वार्थ में हम भागे, हैं तो हम इतने भी, अच्छे नहीं, लेकिन अब चाहते है, कुछ करे सही, देर ही सही, चलो आया तो होश, बिखेरा है तो, अब सवारने में लगाएंगे जोश, इन मुश्किलों ने सिखाया, क्या होता हैं बरकत, सेहत के बिना, कोई काम का नहीं दौलत और इमारत, अजीब यह हैं कि अभी है, सब आधुनिक, फिर भी नहीं कर पा रहे है, सब ठीक, बदलना तो हमें होगा, उसके बिना कुछ नहीं कर पाएंगे, चिकित्सक और दरोगा, दुसरो के लिए नहीं तो अपनों के लिए ही सही, माना कि हैं पिंजरा मगर घर से निकलेंगे नहीं, बस इतनी सी हैं बात, क्या आप देंगे, इसमे मेरा साथ ? ~ मर्लिन थॉमस
