Voice to My Thoughts!!!

I came home with an extra pencil and eraser today, he picked me up, my dad, and put a hand on the left cheek and rubbed gently. It’s not good to take other’s thing, give it back tomorrow, he said with a loving smile. He pulled me closer, you shouldn’t do that again, he said and kissed. I was five years old. Who was I to listen to him? I was eating chocolate, looking here and there, hoping no one was watching me. How was the chocolate? He asked when I came home. Colours of happiness on my face replaced with a blank expression. He didn’t ask how I got the chocolate. He probably knew I must have stolen it from somewhere, from someone. He got angry, he wanted to slap but my mom couldn’t let him do so. I was just seven years old. He threw a few words in anger. I got more homework and no dinner. But who was I to listen to him? I was playing cricket with friends on the street. My father came from the office, watched us play for some time. He smiled and taught me the right way to d

Shhhh don't pluck the flower, they are watching us. Father gently pushed away his son’s hand from flower and told. Who is watching us father? His four-year-old child asked out of curiosity. His father looked above; the sun was smiling even though it was 12 in noon in summer. He had seen unbearable days of summer. He smiled back to the sun and made glace all around his farm. He was a farmer, working on his field, happily. That was the first time he took his child with him to his farmland. His curious child, as any child of his age would be, kept on asking many questions. Why this plant is small and this is big father? Why we have so many pipes running on field? looking at dripper inserted drip irrigation pipe, he asked. He replied very informatively on all his questions. But for once, he stopped, thought a little and looked around before answering. He had seen better crop in his life than he was looking at now. But truth is, he had seen much worst years as well. Looking back a

You kept on cutting trees and MOTHER NATURE didn't scream but now she is crying. Oh Human, wake up and smell the coffee. The Human Toll of Cutting Down Trees You kept on dumping waste in the ocean and she didn't object it but now she is shouting. Oh Human, wake up and smell the coffee. Mumbai beach turns garbage dump You kept on killing animals and she didn't even hitch but now she is screeching. Oh Human, wake up and smell the coffee. Humans 'threaten 1m species with extinction' You kept on polluting the air and she didn't even cough but now she isn't breathing. Oh Human, wake up and smell the coffee. Harmful Effects of Air Pollution You kept on degrading soil and she didn't even itch but now she is scratching. Oh Human, wake up and smell the coffee. If you keep on doing it, there shall come the day when you won't have water to drink, you won't have air to bre

Life of poor farmer from crib to death bed... I was in the crib, wondering about everything I could see. I saw blue walls of a cradle, I wanted to come out, but I wasn't able to.  I was on the farmland, wondering about what she was working on. I saw her in  blue saree, I wanted to play in her lap, but I wasn't able to. I was going to school, wondering about where the dirt road would go. I saw a blue car passing by, I wanted to have a ride, but I wasn't able to. I was working on the farm, wondering about when the drought will be over. I saw a blue sky above me, I wanted to have some rain, but I wasn't getting a drop. I was looking at her picture, wondering about when she will come back to me. I saw her blue eyes, I wanted to kiss her, but I wasn't able to.  I was looking at my child in the crib, wondering about when he will grow up and support me, He saw blue walls of a crib, he wanted to come out, but he wasn't able to. I was thinking of all these, wondering abo
