R# RUN LOLA RUN

  Disclaimer: I am participating in Blogging from A-Z challenge 2022 and this is my post for R# RUN LOLA RUN

When I was young, the world was beautiful,  nice and green 🌴🌳🌲🪴🌿🌿🍀☘🌱

I was scared of dying and leaving the fun in between 🌺🌷⚘🌼🌻🥀🌹🏵💐

As I grew older it became a little less merriment 🙁

As homework and expectations took the place of enjoyment 🙃

I thought it was all temporary 

Once I reached adulthood, it will again be merry 🙂 

So till then RUN LOLA RUN 🏃‍♀️ 

The fun will soon return 


As I became an adult, soon came matrimony and parenthood 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

The need of the hour said to fulfil my duties as a good wife and mother should 🤹‍♀️

The sun still shone beautifully 🌞 

And the birds chirped happily 🦜🦜

 Yet RUN LOLA RUN 

So much still needs to be done ✔ 


Life was smooth, just a little hectic 😇

Till out of the blue came the PANDEMIC🤔

I wish it was an albatross and I the ancient Mariner😈

I could have easily shot it with my gun to keep the world happier.🙂

But it had come to stay 🙄

Many a life it wanted to take away 😢

So it was again RUN LOLA RUN🏃‍♀️ 

Since now Corona has begun 🧍‍♀️


As was told, it would go on its own 😐

But wave after wave it has only grown 😑

Vaccines in all corners of the world were administered 😒

With a sigh of relief, as Covid seemed conquered😏

That still appears to be a far cry 😢 

For which only our future holds the reply 🤔 

Till then RUN LOLA RUN 🏃‍♀️ 

The world ain't no more fun 😔


In between the Pandemic with its Persistence 😒

Some fools of nations thought it wise to challenge their peaceful existence 😬

All hell has broken loose since the War has begun 😒

In which the final victory shall belong to no one 🙄

Weapons, bombs and their thunderous explosion🤯

Humanity ending in damage and destruction 🤕

We all know the world is round 🌍

SO RUN LOLA RUN 🏃‍♀️ 

Till the world of your childhood is found .🏝🏝🏖🏞


LESSON LEARNT #

Be grateful if u could live just today 🌝

What tomorrow beholds none of us can say 🌤

REPERCUSSIONS #

 With this gluttony for power, we can't say where humanity will go🔥

Or will it end at the threshold of someone's ego☄

Just take one day at a time 🌈🌈🌀

One day everything will fall in place🤞 and rhyme😊

    Loved it … ur reflections and thoughts have the depth that the public needs to read rather than the exorbitantly paid woke writers like twinkle Khanna and Shobha de.

DRIZZLE TO DOWN POUR

Image
  Disclaimer:  I am participating in  Blogging from A-Z challenge 2022  and this is my 4 the post for  D # Drizzle to Downpour  I was in the first year of college. We were given a preparatory leave for our midterm exams. It was Monsoon time.  That day I had a project to submit so had to go to college. Normally my whole group of friends would board the bus together, but today I had no company. The sky seemed clear. I felt if I could get the bus at 8, reach college around 9, and submit the assignment, I could be back by 10 o clock. That way I could save the rest of the day for studying. I just took my wallet, put my project done so prudently in my bag and off I went.  I boarded the almost empty bus and took my favourite window seat. Whenever commuting to and fro, I have crossed the Howrah Bridge, I have always felt so relaxed. The cool breeze from the Hooghly river whispering in my ear always brought tranquillity and peace. The bus had great momentu...

FACE THE MUSIC WITH ME

 Disclaimer: I am participating in  Blogging from A-Z challenge 2022  and this is my sixth post, F # FACE THE MUSIC WITH ME  The incident to which I shall be relating. the series proving how big an idiot I am, took place at the World famous Goddess Karni Temple near Bikaner, Rajasthan. It was during our Autumn 😎 Break. My Parents and we four sisters were on a road trip to Rajasthan's holy places. It was the last stop, almost our journey's end before heading back to Jaipur. Let me brief you before we proceed, that Karni Mata Mandir is also known as the Temple of Rats with approximately 25,000 black and white ones, housed there. We were not expecting them to be dangerous, or scary. To be honest, I had imagined them in their nice warm cages, but no, as we entered, I was in shock. The sudden realisation that in the next 15 to 20 minutes we shall be surrounded by potentially thousands of RATS. We were told to be discrete enough not to step on, not even accidentally on a ...

A friend in need is a friend indeed! 😇

 A # A friend in need is a friend indeed TO ERR IS HUMAN😇 TO FORGET IT AND STILL MAKE THE SAME 🙄 WELL IS  HUMAN AGAIN 🙂 GRADUALLY MAKING IT AGAIN N' AGAIN 🙄🙄 YOU BECOME A MASTER IN THE GAME 🏆 Some mistakes don't have a noteworthy impact,  but a few change the course of your life.I shall be talking about both, till u feel, thank God you are after all not me. The first big mistake I remember was committed in my 4th standard,  I was 8 years old then and had made my very first best friend. 👭Her name was Kanchan. We had sworn to stand by each other through thick n thin . One day she informed me her telephone ☎️ ( that was the norm in the 80s and 90s ) was out of order and if I could register its complaint. I told her that I was unaware of the process. She gave me a number on which I was supposed to call and directed me on how to go about it . I agreed 👍.  In the afternoon,  I decided to do the needful.  I called up, a man's voice answered,  I t...
