WORD CANVAS

Born to breathe and fly high, The trapped soul was convinced to sigh. Opportunities blocked and never prevailed, She tried hard but often failed, Belonged to the side which was destined to be ignored, Not given a chance to alight and search a road. Reaching to her thirties, she learnt to fight and survive; Knew when to die and how to revive. The phases of life have a story to share, A lot more to cherish and something to care. Leaving the world behind she threw herself forward, Now she wasn’t downtrodden and no more a coward. Her life changed from night to day, it wasn’t a miracle, She learnt gradually, what to ignore and what to tackle. Being presently in a tough situation doesn’t determine your future, It never can suppress you, it’s only to nurture.

(Lipstick plays a very important role in the lives of women. One of the most important one is worth mentioning here. I tried to give it my perspective n hope it conveys what it is meant for.) Felt like a  meadow or a heap of hay, Whatever I've gone through the previous day, My lipstick for me handles these all Let that be big or of size  tennis ball. It covers my pain, No matter I go insane It lets me feel fluky, rejoice and play, Whatever I've gone through the previous day. The shattered, the broken or the puzzled me, It abets open the sightless  to gape or see. The red one, the pink and the purple gloss, They love, complement and never betray Whatever I've gone through the previous day. To peep out of the confinement they show me a window, And stay as a comrade in my high and low. Anger, frustration are not mine to pay, Whatever I've gone through the previous day. (Pri)

थक हार चल पड़ी हैं उम्मीदें दबे पाँव, पा न सकीं वो वाज़िब सी लगती कोई छाँव। हो न पायी साँझ, ना हो सका सबेरा, किस ओर ढूँढ़तीं वो अपना कोई बसेरा। मुरझा गयी हैं साँसें एहसानों का बोझ ढो के, खुले आसमाँ से मिलने को उन्हेँ क्यूँ है कोई रोके। ना मिल सका बसेरा जो होता तेरा मेरा, तू डाल गया है गले में बन्धनों का फेरा। आजमां चुकी है किस्मत जितना था आजमाना, ना तू हुआ हमारा ना हो सका ज़माना ।

जिस पल की तुमसे आस बँधी थी वो क्षण कभी ना आया था, मध्य चाँदनी रात के तुमने  अपना हाथ छुड़ाया था। तुमपर था अभिमान मुझे मैं दम्भ पाल कर बैठी थी, सुघड़ सलोने भाग्य पे अपने इतराती सी ऐंठी थी, सहसा मेरे इन नयनों में अश्रु बादल छाया था, मध्य चाँदनी रात के तुमने  अपना हाथ छुड़ाया था। पहर दोपहर सारे मेरे साथ तुम्हारे कटने थे, हास्य- रुदन सब तेरे मेरे साथ तुम्हारे बंटने थे, ढल गयी संध्या छिप गया चंदा खगवृंद कोलाहल लाया था, मध्य चाँदनी रात के तुमने  अपना हाथ छुड़ाया था। मन में तुम, क्रंदन में तुम थे, लाभ- हानि, यश-अपयश तुम थे। प्रतिपल मेरे आर्द्र दृगों में प्रतिबिंब तुम्हारा पाया था, मध्य चाँदनी रात के तुमने  अपना हाथ छुड़ाया था।

तुमसे दूर नहीं पर ख़ुद के पास जाना चाहती हूँ, अपने सपनों को रंग और उम्मीदों को उड़ान देना चाहती हूँ। आँकना चाहती हूँ खुद की क्षमताओं को हर तरह से अपनी हिम्मत और  काबलियत को न...

  Success isn’t only to get a good a job, Be able to shout slogans and gather huge mob. What makes us powerful Is to control our anger, Tame it, nurture it and use it as a changer. We ignore our values It has been found often, We burst everywhere and Start arguing now and then. Rather than shouting To be the winner of the time We should wait for the Exact moment and save the words dime.                                                                          Priyanka D Anugrah

I work late night and my schedule is tight, Sometimes I get filled to my core but I never  wish  to fight. I am talented, I am genius and I have the caliber, Yes I agree and appreciate that I am a teacher. I am proud to be one, who is never tired, Though sometimes I feel trapped but yet inspired. Trapped because I am not allowed to be unique, Still I believe I am worthy to be geek I am always concerned what my students are up to And what's the matter Yes, I do agree and repeat I am a teacher. Monthly PTM's I attend with zeal, I am always ready to welcome parents And of course their squeal. I am friend of my students and I am their foe, I know exactly how to make buns of the dough. I know how to tame them to sensible creature, Yes I agree and repeat that I am a teacher. I support them in distress and in torments big or small, What awards me, as a conclusion is their smile that's all. Some of them respect me some absolut...
