TO MY MOTHER DEAR

   Why Nights are cold ?

On the days when I feel sad and lonely, the kind of feeling that soaks your mind with a raw ennui,when you feel so lifeless and tired and when you feel that God appears to be so distant and mysteriously indifferent, when your wife and children smother you with a 'plasticized' sense of love, the kind make-up artists are adept at switching on and off between clients, all  the while they are busy with other interest  on their uppermost minds.Then you begin to question the rationale of life and secretly marvel at its hypocrisy and sadly come to a conclusion if love is what you really desire you may as well keep a companion dog,a loving pet animal, a lifelong faithful friend to follow you even to your grave.But even this enjoyment my wife denies me  and who together with the rest of the family have locked me up in an ivory tower to have my bones bleached in the Tower of Silence. O God my Redeemer when is the day of my deliverance. I feel so miserable Lord.

O God where have you disappeared? I had been following you like a dog and now you have been playing truant with me. Why don't we sit across and chat like the good old days?  Let me lie on your lap and allow me to cradle your left hand under my head and hug me tightly to your bosom with your right hand O my Mother that I may escape into the oblivion of your Universal Being.

Good Night

children are precious do not neglect them please


Do you love your child ???

1.Do not spank the child in an emotional outburst of anger
.
2. Do not shout at the child it only leads to a shouting match.

3.Do not be wholly engrossed in the TV blissfully unaware of the tantrums thrown by the child.

4.Do not be glued to the TV set and not all mindful of what the kid is up to.

5.In order to get rid of the child do not put him in front of the TV

6.To feed the child do not prop him up before the TV

7.Do not chit-chat on the phone for long and fail to have an eye on your child

8.Do not gossip around and neglect your child
.
9.Be attentive to the child's needs but don't be breathing down his back constantly

10 Engage the child in teaching rhymes, songs, prayers and playing small games. The granny's around here seem to be more interested in learning them from TV serials, cinema music, soap operas and talk shows. This becomes an added responsibility for harassed parent who is burdened in bringing up the just born infant and the very grown up infant who do well to raise their hearts to God while keeping a watchful eye on the child

The child is mischievous by nature otherwise it is not an natural child. As parents and grandparents we should not be childish and selfish. Remember when the child grows up and becomes bitter because of certain bad traits he will curse us and more that a severe punishment awaits from God.No parent would want that to happen to their beloved child.

Try spank only after trying out other methods such as 'time out' talking out with him , raising your voice , showing your disapproval facially in no uncertain ways. Give inducements and rewards for good behaviour, take away privileged.
Let not the child for God's sake become highly temperamental negative and destructive
A child is God's beautiful flower do not crush it in your foolishness. It is very very painful to God.

Grandparents and mothers have to be strictly. It is a responsible job

I have also noticed that they are not feeding the child with proper food in a timely manner

All these things make me sad

Out of frustration I keep praying that the blasted TV go out of order. God help me

Spare the Rod and Spoil the Child

  

FALLEN IDOLS

Whooooosh and the Upsurge sweeps
mangled bodies namelessly hoisted
with heartrending howls and screams
and black depair
to light pyres
some are piled atop churches, others
on temple spires and many many others in the dreams of the disconsolate
the eye of the Mighty  sweeps the scene forlorn
Sages dole out spiritual conundrums
to eyes and bellies packed with filth and mud.

But then the Abode of the Gods
cracked and creviced the great
deluge tore upon the wombs
spilling dead corpses with unseeing eyes
temples hurtled in obeissance
O God where you rescued ? or as usual lay abandoned.
