A sleep full of sweet dreams..

It was quarter past twelve. My body was weary, and  It was in need of sleep. My inactive eyes saw the bed  And i pushed myself off to my bed. Saw the man no like other, Shining in proud saying  "she is my tot" Then saw my source of happiness, With a smiling face saying  "she is my tot" Sun rays fell on my face to Increase the beauty of my sleep. I opened my eyes which were no more inactive. I got up and looked into the mirror, saying  "they are my roots" Oh! Such a beautiful sleep full of dreams it was...

I am a Mother...

I am a mother but my daughter  is more of a mother to me than I am to her. I lost my mother at a very young age and now I find myself giving the same love and attention to her that I had always craved as a child . But my motherhood, has nothing to do with my gender. I am Gauri and I am a transgender, I belong  to the Hijra Community. I work for my people and I aim to give them a better life and also protect the children of sex workers  and give them a safe life. I am a proud mother of a very sweet girl, Rani. My daughter often tells me what kind of sarees and hairstyles look good on me. Our mother daughter duo shares a very special bond of friendship. I think we should allow our children to do things for themselves, allow them to be strong and let them believe more in themselves. I only want the best for my daughter and i want her to succeed in her life and do a little better than me . I love my daughter a lot but my motherhood  has nothing to do with my gender...

We too have a FAMILY...

Hii... I live on the street with my mother. We don't have any specific place to stay, but we manage to find a shed during rough days. My mother feeds me from the scavenging rubbish and exposed garbage. But few people give us biscuits and bread crumbs. My mother takes care of me and I love her a lot. But today I have lost my mother. She was running towards me with a piece of bread in her mouth and she was hit by a car. After the accident, the person who hit my mother remained in his car and went on his way. It seemed he had no responsibility in the matter. Maybe because he had injured a dog, not a human being. Many people came and made sad faces but no one stepped forward to help. My mother was severely injured in the accident and wasn't able to move from her place to the side of the road. I was traumatized by the accident. I tried to pull her to my side of the road but I wasn't strong enough. She had lost a lot of blood and after some time, I saw her motionless. And her bod...

My middle class life killed my passion...

It is beautiful when passion and career come together. But! Do they?? May be YES or might be NO. Life was great until dad went to work and never came back. It's been five years since he had left behind mom with two mouths to feed. Losing her soul mate and gaining financial crisis broke her from within. This event changed the course of our lives forever. I stood holding my younger sister by her hand and we both gazed at mom.  She screamed, cried, she laughed sitting beside dad’s body, which was cold forever. The next day she looked weird without her sindoor, bindi, and bangles. She comes to me and tells me, your dad is no more and I am tired of being tired. Your sister is young enough and we both have to support this family. Try and get a job. I have never seen mom so helpless before. I completed my graduation and immediately found a job in a private company. I never stopped working since I got so busy with my life, that I could hardly gift myself 'not working'. Though every...

Silent Memories ...

Hey, I have heard something from your friend, is it true?? Hmm, I think I have a crush on you … Even I like you. Every girl wants a guy who could make her smile when she doesn’t want to. In my case, he was the reason behind my smile. Love was always a confusing thing for me but suddenly the awkward and imperfect relationship seemed to be so perfect. Everything was so nice.  But was I matured enough to handle the whole thing that a real relationship requires?? But all I wanted was to go home and text him. I reached home and quickly took my Nokia 2690 which was no less than a smartphone in those days. It displayed a new message, U there?? And an instant smile was there on my face. We both were immature and loved each other’s attention. Everything was stupid and nice, we both wanted to go home and text each other. Texting was all we could do because going out with mates was quite an impossible thing for us. Loving and being loved added richness to our lives. Then we broke up for some ...

I am fine.

My cellphone beeped, it displayed a new message. How are you? I replied, I'm fine. Was I really doing fine?? I was sad and drowned with hopeless emotions and attitude. I looked into the mirror and I saw a fat and ugly girl standing . My academic performance was getting poor day by day, I was stressed . Its lunch time and my hunger is dead. I was having sleepless nights and restless days. I was always tired. I was having a hard time, tears rolled down my cheeks and I didn't know what were they for. My criticism was cutting my veins... But I know a smile can make me happy. An aiding  ear can make me feel I am not alone. I wish when I shouted  with no reason , in place of criticising  me someone could come and talk  to me politely . When I was locked within the walls of my own mind and was unable to escape. I wish someone could come and pull me out where I cam feel fresh air on my face and the wind blowing through my hairs. When my high pitch ask me WHY ME?? I wish I h...

Everything will be fine...

Wish it, believe it and it will be so. Really? You can't control everything , sometimes you just need to relax and have faith that things will workout . Everything will be fine, its just a matter of time. Really? Without putting efforts everything will never be fine. I tell people i'm tired, but  I am depressed. I tell people I'll be fine tomorrow . But I know , tomorrow will be worse. For making tomorrow better we have to fight back the situation .    I asked him, why life is so weird and messed up ?? He said, dear everything will be fine! Again I asked him, when will it be fine?? He said , soon with a smile. All I have to believe that good things are coming down the road, I just have to keep walking and stay positive in the bad. You just have to know everything would workout and keep yourself simple in the mind. Everything would be fine . There's always a Rainbow after the Rain. Similarly always bad times will lead to great times. Just take a deep breath and relax, i...

Anger Danger!!

I have always been a night's owl, late-night studying, and holding on to a cup of coffee is all my type. I hate moments when nights crawl being lonely and all my anger roll down my cheeks, realizing I am being like those few people, who think it's necessary to hurt a person back for making them realize how being hurt feels and I never wanted to be their kind. I have always been frustrated about bad things happening to me, it seems everything has gone wrong. Sometimes I felt that I was being unreasonable and irrational, though I didn't want to accept it. All these culminate into anger, frustration, useless fights, and hurting myself and the list continues. Did I waste all my days thinking about how to control my anger? Just because my neighbor told my mom that I am short-tempered and I keep on shouting. Do I have to get angry over this? My mother was ashamed because an outsider complained to her that they get to hear my voice from their house! My mom had asked me not to tal...
