You must be a ...

You have all the answers,
still sometimes you are speechless.
You are worried, depressed, excited,
confident, contented and delighted.

You are a child, an adult, a preacher,
guilty, a realist, a dreamer,
conscious that little eyes are judging you
and unconsciously imitating you.

You have a responsibility to pass on
the traits like honesty and time management.
Have to set an example.
But you too are human!!

There is always a prayer
on your lips.
And the list goes on....
Hey...you must be a Mom

Apartheid

She grew up with a sis (didi) who was beautiful and had long lovely tresses, and a bro (bhai) who made her laugh till she cried. Both the siblings never ever made her realize (even during the worst fights) that they had a complexion many shades lighter than hers.When the outsiders (read relatives) reminded her, bro and sis were there as a shield.

School: Teachers loved her.
College: Teachers…who are they?
Friends : See a trailer.
A day before holi,Parul dancing ON the table in the college (all gals) canteen, exactly like Amitabh, enthralling the huge crowd of girls. Singers, dancer , players(state\ national level) Head-girl, all were there in her gang.

Marriage: She saw the boy and said NO. “ ..he is very fair (kitna gora hai.)I I’ll be conscious throughout my life.
Then she met “boy’s” parents. They were a very fair and cute middle aged couple. Had a casual chat over a cup f tea.

That day while watching TV when she sat near hubby dear, who was engrossed in a book. She said: see the contrast your hand and mine…

"Hey why did you marry me"?

He didn’t even hear her. Hmm what? So she had to repeat. He smiled and said:

“Because love is colour- blind,” and got busy in the book again.

I wonder if being fair skinned or beautiful makes any difference in day to day life?If a person is not endowed with these qualities, Should he/ she have any regrets?
