Where??

Here.

There's no need to hide from anyone,

I stand erect and correct all the time.

No fears.

No hesitations.

No shames.

Here

There's no one - just me,

I run around liberated, ecstatic.

There's space.

There's love.

There's acceptance.

Here

There's nothing that is portrayed unreal,

I see things plain and simple.

Sans show offs.

Sans shallow egos.

Sans make ups.

Here

There's no need to prove myself,

I smile at my face unveiled.

I am Strong.

I am Intelligent.

I am Lovely.

Here

I am Me.

An Ode to my Mother

To you I owe my existence and all my success
Every thing's for you.
You are the reason I walk, I talk, I think, I see,
You were A mother the second time when I came
And I was the child that I will always want to be
Your extreme parsimony which still amazes me
Parsimony not in love but in hatred & disgust

You blew away my mistakes, all as a puff of smoke
Me being incorrigible but never found lack of love
The invaluable time you spent on me as a mother
I never aim to pay it back because I never will be able to
Those priceless tears, the never failing love & devotion
They were never unnoticed. I admire you. I love you
You adopted my fears, healed pain & wiped my tears
To me you are the bible of forgiveness. Big and small

Couldn't have asked for more generousness from you
Can never pay you back. Neither I'm capable nor I'll try
To this ordinary child who wouldn't even love you back
The warmth you gave, the way no one ever did and will
The huge sacrifice when you quit on those small things
Those elements of happiness all which you deserved
You are my teacher, my idol, my encourager, my strength.

With numb eyes when I look at you thinking about the care
The enduring patience, the treasure of wisdom, my cushion
Being with you for all those years. Those afternoons in your lap
I missed this when you went away.
When you set yourself free from us.

You always had thought twice. 

First for me and then for the rest.

I Love You Mom :)
