GENTLE WIND : A tribute

Swaying in the whirlpool of emotions, love and fidelity, deception and betray, cares and concerns, passion and peace, felt so wretched and desperate,   I shouted a silent cry to you, ‘stop this overpowering current! Show me the depth that I sought always, And make me whole as your before the only truth that prevails in my life I know it's You…’ Yet, drenched in love so wishful,  My soul again outcry a yearn so wild   ‘No! I don’t want to be shackled, Don’t want to be restrained, It’s the heart that needs to be heal, Let me drown and drown deep, hold me tight in your broad embrace, Raising me high over all that cares, Make me whole as only yours…' Emotions that make and unmake heart Kindled the fire that dampened down long ago can purified me again Or can burn me into ashes. Is Love only a mirage? or it’s the unquenchable thirst… Yet the bliss is always there, Even in the slightest glimpse; Even in the deadliest pain. ...

Love, Friendship, trust and faith, bring fulfilment when true in essence. Love heals all that pains, Friendship has its warmth Trust and faith walk together making the ties strong. Emotions and sentiments are human heart bereft of these is empty and void. But deceit and deception, treachery and betrayal, equally rule the minds of people. Beautiful emotions then break heart Give setbacks and ruin life. Yet precious is the love, valuable is the friendship Irreplaceable is trust and faith. Human without emotions can't exist.

‘I am resigning from the job.’ He said to his mother. ‘What will you do?’  ‘I will do something of my own.’ ‘What will you do? People do jobs whole life and you are leaving it.’ His father said with a disagreement. ‘ What will you do? Open a shop? After so much education!’ his mother had an opinion that business is nothing more than a grocery shop… It was tough for him to go against the will of his family but his own will was strong than theirs.  During this crucial phase, she came to his life with the support and strength he needed most. She loved him for all his eccentricities. She loved to see him happy and relaxed. It was often a sullen environment at home. Meanwhile he resigned his job. The resentment in his parents had become his frustration. He sought a cordial and understanding environment, which was missing at home. Finally, he moved out of his family to stay with her. Soon they started a small business in the field of retail. Time flew with its swift wi...

It had always been the ideals that she had valued the most. What if he was not from her own language and society? He was the person she have loved the most after her mother. 'He is different from us; Is he going to marry you or is he just fooling you!' These reactions had never been an issue for her. Her world had always revolved around what is appropriate or not, what is right and wrong...what she felt for him was an ethic itself. 'He feels the same for me Maa... Love is beyond caste or creed...'  And that was her belief; her trust in the human world, she had always perceived when knowledge bestowed wisdom upon her. It was the time when things were beautiful as her own mind and her emotions. But soon things seemed to be bitter suddenly. 'What's the matter? Why are you so gloomy?...' Many times, she saw him lost or engrossed in his thoughts. And it was a shock for her. 'Why did you do this? Why to me? Okk, she was of your community! You are biased…vuln...

Knowledge and Wisdom, The two twins of Education, Walk together hand in hand, One is lame without the other, Like virtues without compassion. Knowledge is blind without wisdom, It has vision in wisdom’s perception, Though it learns and speaks eloquently, Understands facts and figures accurately, But it boasts like a foolish braggart. Wisdom observes things minutely, It listens and acts conscientiously, It grows slowly but never wanes, Yet it is dumb when Knowledge is dull, Stands aloof and remained detached. Trapped in human delusion, Created mess over confusion, Knowledge is chased and pursued, Wisdom is forsaken and devalued, Lost the life of morals and values. ©  By  Pranati Saikia  2/7/2015
