Respect Durga


Respect Durga

 Durga puja is the festival of respecting and worshiping Durga. Generally, we forget to respect her and end up only worshiping her. 

I saw a girl of 13-14 years near a puja pandal. And mind it she was wearing a kurti with leggings. She was happy, it was evident from her face that it was her favorite festival. The place was congested but her eyes found their way to look at Durga’s idol and admire her. Durga, a female which everyone of us worship. She has a trishul in one of her hands. She is believed to be serene and composed until and unless someone tries to lay hands on her dignity. She uses her trishool to protect the world. While the girl expressed admiration for Durga, she felt someone trying to lay hands on her self-esteem. She was too afraid to turn back and face what was happening, so she chose to move ahead with her mother. 

She again sensed a touch which felt like a thorn. This time she turned back hoping he’ll be shamefaced of what he did to a girl who must be the age of her sister. Her hopes were shattered when she was unable to see a glimpse of shame on his face, instead he had a smile on his face which was the symbol of credence that whatever he did was right. This happened because he was taught to worship Durga but not to respect her. 

After reaching home, she wondered if the trishul in Durga’s hand were for the protection of the world or for her own protection.

      Let's not get into this "Not All Men" debate. But I agree to a part of your comment.

The Unpredictable Life

The Unpredictable Life His body was lying cold and lifeless on the hospital bed. It seemed as if he had attained absolute peace. His wounds were not healed, but they didn't hurt anymore. It looked like he had made peace with his wounds and broken bones; the wounds decided to not hurt him anymore either. The scenario was exactly the opposite around his lifeless body. He was at peace but the people who were in love seemed to have lost all the peace. A grieving mother asking his son to wake up. The broken bones were ready to cause discomfort again once he wakes up, but he decided to not wake up from his peaceful sleep.  A sister standing beside her mother, trying hard to console her but failed miserably in controlling her own grief.  A brother who did all he could to save him had nothing left to say or do other than to hide his tears and stand still like a pillar to not let the family fall. All he could do now is to make arrangements for the last rites of his brother. There stood...

The Desolated Soul

  The Desolated Soul You know it's hurting when the smile has abandoned your way; You know it’s hurting when you don’t have words to say. You know it’s hurting when you spend all day sleeping; You know it’s hurting when you can’t put an end to weeping. It is the chapter of our lives which some of us have left behind; It is the chapter of our lives which some of us are still writing. Isn't this an ordinary depiction of normal human survival which some of us have left behind and some are still trying? Hurting is a part of life like gaiety. The only difference is the first one comes effortlessly and refuses to pass. You have to endeavor to heal and still there will be a trigger point which may ruin all your efforts. The second one is arduous to bring off and goes within a blink of an eye. How does pain feel like? It feels cold even if you have swaddled yourself with a duvet. It does not let you sleep even after shutting your eyes for an eternity.  When you find yourself hurting, ...
