The word is Dee!

Life from 1 to 99 has plenty to see, An unsettling pressure, struggling to compete.  Born with a slightly darker skin tone, Relatives are quick to comment in that zone.  The student grapples with grades that matter, To impress the school and society chatter.  Selections and future depends on an exceptional score, What happens to those who didn't make it to the fore.  Comparisons are many and often one is told,  To learn from another, forgetting their own unique mould, We often get tangled in our own stereotypes for sure, Not imagining that the lesser privileged may excel beyond one here.  The construction worker will do his might to earn, So that his child can educate and have a career inturn.  Many personalities, some loud, aggressive and not always right, Afraid of being judged or mocked, the unspoken do not fight.  While some girls push boundaries with studies and work to ace, Others get caught in the primitive mindsets that define their pace....

Day 94…#100daysofhappiness #100happydays An ode to ‘Leap Day’ - to live and celebrate! It’s fascinating to be able to cherish a leap day and have your 100 days in this leap year. What I write now, will be revisited 4 years later, so this makes this memory far more exciting. A tradition of the past, one that not many people know about, but a leap day was a day attributed to women once in 4 years (the last day of the shortest month in a leap year), to have the liberty to propose to a man they choose to woo. Marking my 10th anniversary this year, I find this tradition thrilling and hence choose to revive this tradition of proposing to the man who makes my heart dance with every little beat! Fairy tales are unreal and am, glad mine is not one. So on this day, February 29, 2016, cheers to ‘real marriages’ that are far more fun with adventure and learning, surprises that can make you teary eyed, moments that hold you for life, seeming imperfections that become romantic and acceptance...
