Our Selfless Mother

-



It genuinely makes me wonder whether we have ever given it a thought that Nature expects to be loved by us, her children, in return. She is full of affection, she is plenteous in love, and she is overflowing with kindness. Yes, as her kids, we, too, must learn how to be kind and loving.

She needs no gold, no money, no exaggeration, and no exhibitionism. All that she wants is a bit reverence and reciprocated love from us. No riches does she ever want indeed. Well, she is our mother, our timeless mother.

Have we ever imagined having our spirit set free by her on an enjoyment spree? When we are in solitude, we can get to experience it much better, I suppose. Day by day, we are getting busier, right? Still, we must confess that we are never so busy that we fail to have some time to be mingled with her.

What if we could relive the picture of a rainy day suffused with emotions and laughter? What if we could get lost in a momentary trance or imagination of listening to the ripples of the ocean? What if we could enjoy the buzzing melody of the honey-seeker bees instantly?

The world, nowadays, may be full of technologies and scientific discoveries. Still, can we ever, ever overthrow Nature? We need not show our filial love to her by means of bragging and boasting. All we need is to keep her safe and pure from the treacherous claws of man-made pollution. Like a selfless mother, she pleads to us to keep her safe, because by saying so, she wishes our welfare. That is to say, by keeping her safe and sound, we actually keep ourselves safe and sound with the hope of a better tomorrow.

Confession

  There must be storms in every life. Well, we all are aware of all such disasters. Still, why can’t we accept such harsh calamities then? Is it so because we are scared to face the unknown? Or is it so because we are too full of the illusions of the world? Aye, it does sound too pedantic to all of us. As years roll away more and more, the mighty truth becomes even scarier to me. Who is bereft of such fear? Sometimes, I fail to behold the world as and when I’m too full of tears. I do, I do feel choked to speak out because of that lump in my throat. I never even know how to combat reality. Honesty makes me confess all this. Still, whenever I stand in front of the mirror, my conscience pricks me so ruthlessly that I become bound to weep. You might be thinking why I whine like this. Actually, we all are in the same tottering boat in some way or the other. That is to say, there is everything in us; however, this life, this world and everything are grey. Things are neither wholly bl...

Amphan’s Dread

  Amphan’s Dread The year of 2020 was indeed a dreadful year for all of us. Well, we don’t even know how the present year will be. Still, let’s hope for the best as usual. Let’s take a trip down the memory lane. Yes, we are in 2021 right now. But can we ever, can we ever forget the disasters of the previous year at all? Corona’s raid, Amphan’s dread instilled utmost panic in the minds of all of us. I can still recall the horrible night of Amphan. There was no electricity at all for a pretty long span of time. Although the span varied from place to place, the horror was the same almost to all and sundry. The roaring voice of the cyclone was audible from inside the rooms. Though the room was locked up in all respects, we could not get rid of the horror. That night, so many people were rendered homeless; so many people became bereft of their near and dear ones. It was a truly existential crisis. For the first time ever, I felt such insecurity from within. It was not I; i...

Treachery

  Treachery I feel a great commotion within my heart. Just as the restless Atlantic engulfs all up, my heart desires to sink in the absolute abyss. Yes, the word ‘friendship’ is indeed too easy to utter. It is pretty easy indeed to say that I am your friend indeed. However, it is that much hard, it takes that much effort to keep that promise, to fulfill the commitment. It is easy to say but hard to do. But when you are hurt by your friend indeed, whom you indeed believe to be your true friend, it is quite usual for you to feel that nothing matters in this world. The ground under your feet feels as if getting torn apart into pieces. You feel like the world has fallen apart that will never become usual. Love and affection for a friend is blind indeed. As and when your so-called friend deceives you with a false and fake feeling, with a sham sentiment, you don’t feel like the world is normal anymore. Yes, treachery breaks everything; it makes no noise but it pains a lot. Yes, m...
