Some things that we forget

Have you ever wondered how the moon feels about itself????Lets consider it to be she as we often say "that girl is as beautiful as the moon"..I was wondering the other day how would she feel??She stays there all alone among the stars who are meagre compared to her.Are they jealous of her and her beauty??Do they even speak to her or just plot among themselves to outcast her???When the sun blazes people often complain,when it has a mild glow they bask in it and enjoy it...but just imagine the moon.! Except a few lovers, nocturnal creatures,some romantic poets and some insomniac,rest are peaucefully lying "In the arms of Morpheus"..Nobody is there to curse it or appreciate it.Even 20 years ago people had the time to appreciate its beauty and write stories and poetry about it ,but now in this Hi-tech world, we do not even stop for once and enjoy the luminiscence of the eternally beautiful moon.....

So my dear friends lets take some time out from our every day busy schedule and atleast for 5 mins enjoy the aura and the splendour of our nature's creation -our very own moon with our loved ones...
Till then enjoy my favourite poem by Walter de la mare-
Silver

Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers, and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees;
One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;
Couched in his kennel, like a log,
With paws of silver sleeps the dog;
From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep
Of doves in silver feathered sleep
A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
With silver claws, and silver eye;
And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.

raising a toast to all women

It’s really hard to be a woman. a woman is a multi faceted being. She’s beautiful, loving, caring, compassionate, and the most marvellous thing is that she alone can handle a thousand things together and with ease. She’s a perfect homemaker, a doting mother, a loving wife, a caring daughter, a dutiful daughter in law, a trustworthy friend, a confidante to her colleagues and the list of the role that she plays in the society goes on.

It’s really inspiring to observe a woman’s life. How her life changes with time. When she is young she’s her daddy’s darling. She grows up without any worries, knowing that her parents are always there for her, to take care of her, to protect her. But one day she grows up, and then her parents marry her off to someone not known to her that well. she is then asked to go and live with that man now called her husband, in his home and call his parents her own. I think it’s really too much to ask of a persons.

But why is that a woman is always asked or rather forced to do things against her wish??? Why can’t a man marry a woman and come to stay with her at her home??? I know you may think its really silly of me asking such questions. You may even say that’s what the rule is. But my question is who has set such ruled?? Nobody even bothers to question a man, his whereabouts, and his life beside office. But questioning a woman is compulsory. A woman does so much for her family, her contribution for her family and rather to the society is awe inspiring but still even nowadays when a son is born in a family it’s celebrated with pomp and grandeur while the birth of a girl child is not heartily welcome.

But still a woman accepts all the wrongs done to her without even complaining, because she knows that a man is incomplete without her and the society will stop progressing if she is not there. she even knows that no matter how strong a man is he needs her much more than anyone else because she provides the mental support that he needs.

And finally before ending my too long and boring to some blog let me share with u’ll a song celebrating womanhood by Tammy wynette (one of my favourite songs)


Sometimes it's hard to be a womanGiving all your love to just one manYou'll have bad timesAnd he'll have good timesDoin things that you don't understandBut if you love him You'll forgive himEven though he's hard to understandAnd if you love himOh, be proud of him Cause after all he's just a manStand by your man Give him two arms to cling to And something warm to come to when nights are cold and lonelyStand by your manAnd tell the world you love him Keep giving all the love you canStand by your manStand by your manAnd show the world you love him Keep giving all the love you canStand by your man.
Three cheers for all the women ………enjoy your womanhood.
