A Prayer for You


I wish for you today - The sun shines 
Brighter for you, unlike any other day - before today. 
With harps of hope strumming to odes 
Of certain times of love & happiness ahead.

I wish for you today - A friend long lost,
Shall come back; to your surprise and heartfelt elation. 
And bring back those memories of summer days,
When you shared a cool lemonade or two.

I wish for you today - Strangers that smile
Unreasoned & unfettered. Let the birds & passer-by's 
Sing for you unbound; expressing their joyful excitement 
With placid thoughts in faith of our silent lord - almighty.

I wish for you today - A cup of tea;
You could sip by a placid street; that flatters your senses
To an instant churn of dancing temptations. 
I wish you a sip –a stolen moment, with you and yourself.

I wish for you today – A satisfying day; as it ends
Full of wishes fulfilled. A day as it ends in the light 
Of a starlit sky Where dreams are only reality doused 
In vivid colors, onto the canvas of life and its inconspicuous gifts.

I wish you sleep today, in assurance of a better day 
Tomorrow; where right’s and wrong’s are beyond you and are just 
Decisions you make which doeth not control who you are.
I wish for you today – Let tomorrow be a better day than today.

- Arun Raj

Men, take your Women more seriously !

Conversation after conversation that I have engaged with women I have been privileged to have the company of in my life, I have observed one thing : the innate power of a woman to endure pain – physical and mental, is by far unmatchable by men. And this I feel makes them more divine than human. If most of them have learnt to live with it then it is not out of feeling physically insecure of surviving without men, but an ability to see things beyond a man's sensibility can perceive – unconditional love. Observe this in their fights and protests, they will always prefer to not cause pain and any induced suffering. In complete contrast would be a man's position, which is then to take to arms and battle it out. Very few men have been able to understand the value of the women to the society and stand for there cause – Gandhi, Vivekanada, Periyar, and many others. Even though to date their efforts have brought great relief to the oppression on our women, but still the silent battles r...

As you fall in love …

Had there been an easier way to experience bliss, then falling in love gave you a brief whiff of it. I am not sure how many of you have been able to bask in this enchanting emotion. I am not sure if my experience would be a definitive narrative of the experiences, relative to the others who have experienced this state. But, I am putting my best foot forward to walk you through my expression of faith in the most humane of feelings. It was buzzing, fresh with sounds of requests for copies of the assignments to be submitted that day and the lectures lined up for the day or what are the chances of India winning in the match today evening. Some of them even were busy into discussing the latest local kid’s comic – Jungle Book and Shikari Shambu. I was seated comfortably at my throne at the rear end of the class – a no man zone for most. And she strode in … For a moment, I could not hear the morning rush in our classroom. I drifted into a state of involuntary submission as everything else aro...

Celebrating my most treasured Women: Part 2/3 – The Fighters of AID Prayas

Working at Prayas I have seen my share of instant gratification searching individuals. But then there have been a few people who I have worked with in the past 3+ years tenure as a volunteer for AID Prayas, whose work and value cannot be justified by words. Today on Women's day I would like to highlight some individual ladies without whom Prayas as it is today would not have been so. These ladies have all the basic traits of any woman - Compassionate, Caring, Devoted, & yet much more. Charu Garg This write up is going to give her the shock of her life but this really what i think of her. All the arguments and nonsense talk that we do apart, I have seen this lady grow in devotion to the children of Prayas and also shown a keen but dispassionate & balanced position for the activities at Prayas. Without much talk and all action I am floored by the self-driven motivation she has under the pressures she face from home and parents. Linkan Subudhi This one is a fighter lady. Wi...
