The little Joys

The sweet pain felt
After holding her for long
Just because her tiny feet
Hurts her to stand or walk.

Running around the house
Pretending she is faster
Than me, to see her smile
To hear her say ''I win''!

Letting her sleep peacefully
Not to let anyone disturb
Playing her all silly tricks
To see her fill with wonder.

Patiently I wait and let her
Play with my hair
And smile as she climbs
On my shoulders.

Above all it is the little joy
Of having a tiny niece
That makes you melt
And crumble with love.

And the sorrow that fills
To know that very soon
Holidays would be over
Back to the weary office.

Floral ring!!!


Steel wire rings


            Finger Rings have always been a great attraction for me. So I worked on to make simple ones with easily available materials... and ended with these...
   
             Loved the steel wire concept(source:internet)
 
            Simple and easy to make design.

Change desired

To be lonely and forlorn
In such a huge planet
Bubbling with people
But still none to care

Searching for a soul
That would always care
Never back off nor leave
What the time maybe

Would be desperate like
Searching for blue seas
In the wide stretched
Unending n' forever sky

Why do people forsake,
Forget, and move on?
Act like total strangers
Never known to the other?

With the stare on the face
That says ''I don't see
Someone standing infront''
Gazing into the empty space

Is it sin to say to the other
Words of true apology?
Embracing each other
As fellow human beings

Oh! How good it will be
If people live in peace
Compassion and love
Harmony and joy will rule...

Land of Eden

The beautiful land of Eden
Where the love flows as river
Love adorns it with its fruits
The land of ultimate perfection
Nothing is found to lack there
Innocence rules the land
What would ever go wrong
In the very place of wonder
Where happiness leaps about
But right there in the middle
A blemish in the garden
Flaw in middle of flawlessness
Stands a tree filled with lust
Coated with a lustre of curiosity
Inviting harm, danger and curse
Stands the evil in disguise
The tree of good and evil

The Child

          Mr.Liuko was a very wonderful gentleman, in his late thirties, with an olive green complexion that beautifully matched his jet black hair. His simplicity and humble nature was displayed through his dressing sense. His compassionate nature reflected on his face, throwing a ray of love, that complemented his looks. He was a very feeble being, who couldn't even withstand a chicken being slaughtered. He seemed to understand even the complex concepts of nature. He was working as a professor in a nearby college. Science presented itself as a pleasant hobby to him. He spent most of his time in a tiny laboratory which he had constructed at his backyard. He was not only well versed in science, but was also a man of compassion who believed in the invisible forces that drives humankind. His life was a well planned and well equipped one. Neither he was poor nor he was too rich. God had provided him what he required.
         Liuko lacked nothing in the world. He married the girl whom he loved right from his childhood. Koihe was just 10 years old, when she first met him. She had the face of an angel with hazelnut colored hair. Her pink face gave her an ever-blushing look. The way she dressed, showed the classic atmosphere in which she grew. Liuko was two years elder to her. Both studied school. It was during a science project, they came together. Koihe had some serious problems with her science projects that Liuko helped her to solve. As the days went by, both realized that they were made for each other, and they said their vows. Years went by, and everything went on so wonderful but one thing that made Koihe, his wife feel so terrible. The want of a child.
          There wasn't a single hospital they did not visit, nor a Chapel in which they did not pray. But somehow the fruit of a child was hidden from them.
          This sorrow began to take over Koihe so badly. She was wearing away her health. Nothing that Liuko did pleased her. She felt ashamed whenever someone asked her about this. Liuko felt terrible for her. He just wished everything would go on fine.
                                                  *********
           Akila had experienced the same pain before. It wasn't something new to her. She knew what to do and how to do. Being a mother of three girls, she was well-versed in giving birth. Her thoughts rummaged through her childhood. Growing up in India, in a not-so-modern state, had left deep scars in her heart. She was subjected to gender discrimination right from her childhood. She knew how her father hated her for being born as a girl. She despised the gods everyday for cursing her to be born as a girl child.
            She was getting ready to go to the hospital. She knew very well that her husband wouldn't come. She always considered him as the very next avatar of her hateful father. She felt that she was the happiest, on the day her father died. But once again the gods cursed her by giving a man similar to her father as her husband.
             Once again her thoughts circled back to her father.
             "Daddy, can I go to school with the brothers?"
             ''No school for girls! You think money grows as a plant? you stupid girl! Who do you think will do the chores?"
             Akila packed her things into a basket and started walking towards the road. The 'past' was always a great burden to her. But greater was her present problem. She knew her husband wouldn't be pleased if this is a girl too. She remembered how she fought with him to keep the first three girls alive. Tears clouded her eyes. Now she had neither money nor strength to fight for another girl child. She was considered 'impure' for giving birth to girl children. The condition of her girls was worse than her's. She had lit up 100 candles in the temple and prayed for a boy child. She wouldn't be able to come to the temple for two months. All because of the impurity customs of women. She hated herself for being born as a woman in India.
            The nurses admitted her to labour ward. She was afraid to call her husband. She knew very well that he supported female infanticide.
             Hours later, the child was born. A girl child. She felt something crush in her head. The child was a beautiful girl. The motherly love was overwhelming. She cried ''I love you my child!'' and kissed her. She had atlast made up her mind regarding what to do next.
             When her husband came, she talked to him about selling the baby. He looked sharp into her eyes and said,''We will not sell her for money. But we will give her away.''
              Akila took the baby and laid her near the pavement and hid herself waiting for someone to come and pick her up. Time was flying and nobody cameby. The baby started crying. She couldn't bear the cry. She started walking towards the baby. Just then, a car stopped by. Akila went back to her hiding. A stranger who looked like a great scholar, stopped the car, came out, and picked up the baby.
                                                ***********
              Liuko saw the baby crying and tried to hush it. The baby became quiet. Akila knew now that her baby was in safe hands. Liuko looked around and saw no one. He was well aware of the custom of abandoning girl children.
              Liuko brought her home, called her wife and said,''Dearie, I brought an Angel home.'' He saw the childish smile in her face as she said, ''God remembered us and has sent us an Angel. We will call her Angelica.''
               The light of love did shine brightly in their house. The wave of happiness swept not only the Liukos but also the heart of Akila.

The detectives

            
             Inspired by many detective stories, Kayla always had an ambition in her heart to solve mysteries, catch criminals, stalk the suspects, and at last (but not the least) to serve the nation. Reading detective novels gave her an assurance that she had the spirit of Sherlock Holmes or Perry Mason. Well, in her childhood, she always assumed herself to be Nancy Drew. But she had a deep feel in her heart that she could solve even the most difficult mysteries provided she had the right company. (She tried nagging her classmates only to become the laughing stock of the class.) 
             Would that stop our hero lil' Kayla to stop pursuing her dream? Absolutely not! Now, she became a fan of Enid Blyton's ''Famous Five''. ''Wouldn't be it so wonderful to have cousins who can solve mysteries along with me'' she thought. She now started going behind cousins requesting them to join her in starting a detective agency. She even named the agency as ''crazy cousins'' (she just loved the short form C.C. detective agency).
             Just as the saying goes 'Rome was not built in a day' neither was her detective agency! She had lots of plans (of course, unexecuted ones!). All she had to do was to wait for the opportune, moment to show itself up. And wait for people to join her (she is not Hercules to handle everything alone!).
             She atlast had her wish come true. Problem screwed itself up right under her nose! Kayla was sharing her apartment with her granny, while her parents stayed abroad. What exactly happened was, her granny found some of her jewels missing.
            Her granny was a typical olden era woman who believed girls can do nothing right. This screwed up Kayla to the extent that she became like a volcano waiting to erupt! This theft gave her the right opportunity to do the necessary and prove herself to the world.
             She drew the plan of her area, took a survey of the people living in the apartment, stalked them, made a list of the people coming into the apartment et cetera.. Just them she overheard her granny phone over to her cousin Jaime asking him to come over and launch a complaint in the nearby police station.
             When Jaime came over, she discussed the entire operation she had planned with him. He just laughed as if it was some child's play. He just made a complaint and kept quiet. The police inspector visited them, scribbled something on his notepad and went away. Unlike the other police officers, he was interested in taking a peek into the other houses in the apartment, on the pretext of providing safety precautions.
            That night, a few more houses in the apartment were stolen. And above all, Lily, Kayla's bestie's house was also stolen. So, the three brave musketeers set out to the nearby station to file a complaint on the Police officer. But, no one believed them. Atlast, they made a deal with the trios saying, if they showed evidence, they would take the right action.
             Jaime, being the eldest of the three, took the matters into his hand and set a few hidden cameras all around the building.
And also a few motion sensors was set up in the most unlikely places. Just as they suspected, they caught the police officer right in the middle of the act!
             They rocked the city and gained a wonderful name. The ''Terrific Teens''!
         
               For more of the Terrific Teens, stay tuned!
