Need For Deafening Silence
She woke up to the sound of her alarm, Sound of pan striking & children whining, Sounds of the vendors who want to survive, Sounds of the little birds who see the sunrise She leaves for work and takes along the sound of dangling keys, angry drivers, mechanical whirring of computers She comes back with the sound of whistlings, To the sounds of chirping crickets, & loud music But sound of her sadness is so much stronger, So is the sound of loneliness, The only sound she wants to hear is, The Sound of Deafening Silence!

The sultry breeze which touched my face invited around a hundred memories back to me. The vacation wrapped up, and so was my holiday.

I never wanted to make the same parenting mistakes I learned as a child. I only wanted to inculcate the “good” in her so that she grows up to be a wonderful human being. Gradually, in the process, I learned that parenting itself has a lot of scope for learning. Honestly, my child has taught me many lessons that I could have never realized any other way.
