My needle story.



I sat nervously, fiddling with a needle.
Dwelling on matters that have essence beyond all this fiddle.
Pondering no sword can play wheedle with a needle. 
Since It's the only machine with a treadle.  
I sew my ballroom dress under a candle. 
Boring a hole between with a wimble. 
Sewing the hemline with thread and needle.
Holding the seam together despite all the struggle.
Keeping my finger's on the material.
Spinning it's handle with trouble. 
I realize it's time to replace the needle.
As I sit throughout night sewing with thread and needle. 
I could hear the morning roosters crowing. 
Pricking up my ears to my cows braying. 
Along with my restless beagle too baying. 
With that heavenly scent of freshly baked bagel. 
Licking my toes in company of my feet here yawns my beagle. 
With Floppy flapping ears and sagging jaws my naughty beagle.
I sat with my scissors and thimble. 
Adjusting the wimples crinkle. 
Absentminded while sewing I smell the bagel. 
Inadvertently get pricked by the needle. 
And In agony I hit the table. 
 Making my skin red and painful.
Reminded me of the bush the holly! the holly! covered in prickle.
Promptly the humble needle blossoms into a deadly needle. 
Slender and small in appearance this needle.
It pricks and sews too that is why it's a needle. 
Some lessons i learnt from the humble needle.
It is piddling and like a mound of Haystack with a Needle.
Insignificant by looks but deceptively valuable is this needle. 
Second to none with unmatched semblance like a nettle.
But then that is why it's called a needle.

Street talk!

                                                                         Gray Life on the street  More people in our country lack of homes today.They live under the flyovers,under old broken bridges,inside plumbing pipeline, near railway stations, road dividers, pavements - they are everywhere.Every single day.We all pass them by uncaringly. Daily. Even me included. It is not easy  seeing  someone trying to survive on the  streets  of the city, and our reactions can range from pity, to anger, to choosing not to  see  the person at all. ... what it's like to have no home. Homelessness is about more than just poverty.And on bone chilling winters s ome arere visibly distressed and freezing, barely able to feel their hands...

A nostalgic trip to memory lane.

Just some time ago i got in  touch with many of my old school pals through social networking site Facebook.Thanks to Technology which has brought us all closer.Connecting with long-lost friends is like checking out those class  group photo session.Whether its Facebook , Twitter or any medium of social networking,it helped me to connect with good old high school,my teachers,principal and college friends who I had not  seen or heard from in decades.Its been a topsy turvy life for me all along.But suddenly i was  filled with life meeting them though virtually.Which later on became possible in practical too.Felt those butterflies fluttering in my stomach in excitement of hearing them.Really the moment is so nostalgic & lovely to be able to know & see how gracefully we have all aged and how  wonderful they all are doing!I found myself in the muddle of my long lost friends.It was as if some  sort of telepathic connection that me and some of my old...

जीवन इक माँझी बिना कश्ती...

मैंने एक अजीब तथ्य के बारे में पढ़ा है कि, वियाग्रा, जब पानी में घुल जाता है, तो कटे हुए फूलों को आम तौर पर एक सप्ताह से अधिक समय तक खड़ा कर सकता है। तथ्य संख्या दो- वियाग्रा जेटलैग का इलाज कर सकती है।  वे कहते हैं कि यह आपके दिल के लिए अच्छा है। इस जादुई छोटी नीली गोली ने दुनिया भर के लाखों पुरुषों और महिलाओं को एक पूर्ण यौन जीवन का समर्थन करने के लिए अपनी ताकत पर काबू पाने में मदद की है जनाब। जल्द ही, कोरोना काल के दौरान घर पर बैठे वेले लोगों ने बाज़ार में इस जादुई दवा की अप्रत्याशित बाढ़ भी देखी, क्योंकि निर्माता इस गोली के एक टुकड़े के लिए होड़ कर रहे थे। बिल्कुल शराब की तरह। काश हमारे पास जिंदगी सुधारने के लिए भी वियाग्रा होता। यहीं काश पर अटकी है। 😂👍याहू...आप सबको मेरी यह बात थोड़ी सी हैरत एंगेज और पागलपन भी लगे। मगर मेरे प्रिय पाठकों मानो या ना मानो। कृपया मेरी बातों पर विश्वास करें।यह मेरे लिए भी एक नई और अचंबा खोज है।जो सत्य भी है। निश्चित रूप से सभी को इसे कम से कम एक बार आजमाने की तो जरूरत है! काश हम इंसान भी ऐसे होते।चूंकि इससे उन्हें उत्तेजना के प्रति बेहतर प्रतिक्रि...
