HI guys! Today I am going to share with you something that I have not shared with you before. People whop know me, my batch-mates, friends or anyone from my school or college know that I do a bit of poetry. Now although I am not sure as to how to describe my poetry, good or bad, I think I do it because I love to do it. so toaday i am going to share with you one of my favourite poem that I wrote last year end. It has featured in a poetry writing site called GotPoetry? Do check it.
It is actually an elegy type of poetry (I don't know if it can be really called an elegy) written about a girl, 23 years old, who was brutally raped and murdered at Delhi 2012 end. I was pretty much shaken and moved by the incident much like the world and while others protested with dharnas, vigils, meetings and candle offering i chose to show my prayer and my expression through what i do (I think) more comfortably and better. And as i offer my prayer to her soul I only wish she getsin heaven what she missed on earth. A little bit of respect. May her soul rest in not only in rest but respect. RIP and RIR. So here it is. I won't keep more words between to bore you. Do read the full and tell me how you like it. The poem is titled Where the mind is without fear (Tagore any one...)

Where the mind is without
fear
As smell of alcohol
Filled the air
She gasped for breathe
As her end came near
Loud laughter shot the sky
As helpless shouts to deaf
ear.
As the savages wait for
trial
The whole country sits and
sees in denial
Something so gruesome has
happened after all
It was better if the world
would end in sky fall.
Fear, in the minds of
mothers have crept
As sisters and daughters
and friends bereft.
Happened to someone who
thought they were safe
What if it’s their turn,
if they are the next?
For safety has mocked the
meaning of its own,
Provided to those; covered
dresses who have worn
And piled up the work
before sunset?
After 65 years, matured;
we have not been yet.
And I feel ashamed as the
stronger sex
To provide this insult
after all it takes
To bear for months and
give us birth
A safer world couldn’t
give them here
I still search for the holy
land
Where the mind is without
fear
