A beautiful trap - Seduction

My name is Seduction, and I stand waiting at your door.
If you open it and embrace me, you will be left longing for more.
My desire is to overtake you with my sly, lustful ways,
I plan to have you fooled by my charm for many days.
I make promises to captivate you like no other has ever done,
And I tell you that if you follow me we can have lots of fun.
My words will be like music so pleasant to your ears,
They will surely leave your heart longing for more to hear.
I say I can take you places you’ve always dreamed to go,
And I will offer you the world when I put on my show.
When I have tempted you to come and leave everything behind,
It is then that I will reveal myself and have you loosing your mind.
I was really your enemy all along,
Masked as who could do no wrong.
I am leaving you now, see you later, goodbye.
Thanks for buying into my big seductive lie.



P.S. I came across this poem while surfing the internet, which is one of my passion. After reading this, it really made me think that how often we fall into the trap of Seduction, knowingly or unknowingly. Dear Friends, do you think you could recognize seduction if it were knocking at your front door. He will appear as a finest salesmen around.He is selling one of the products that will surely destroy us and our soul at the end. Beware you all ladies not to fall for any kind of seduction.Thanks Sarah for such a beautiful poem.

Motherhood - greatest blessing of a woman.

Being a mother completes the cycle of a woman. Its a privilege to be a mother.
To be a mother you have to go through a long awaited 9 months of carrying a baby in your womb, everyday waiting for that precious moment to come when you can take that little one in your hands, all the time feeling him in the womb, now actually touching his little fingers, his lips, his face, his legs.
A part of you, whom you have caressed, nurtured from the initial fetus of 1 day to the full term, day by day, hour by hour, minute my minute, second by second. She is the happiest person in this world, when she is been given the news by the Gynecologist or her Family Physician that she is pregnant. A delivery date is also informed to her on which she should be expecting the baby in her lovely arms.
From that day the expectant mother starts dreaming of her baby, feeling every moment of the fetus growing in her womb. Her thoughts surrounds her child and only child. She takes ultimate care till the end of the tenure. 
The D day is here, after going through a lot of pain the mother gives birth to her child of dreams. It is truly said that it is the second birth or another birth for a woman.
Her joy is boundless, holding the little one in her arms.... The loveliest and sweetest moment of her life.

 From that day her life changes. She is into a new role of a mother. For the child, the mothers touch is the first and foremost touch of his life. He recognizes the touch. A strange relationship develops between the mother and the Child thru this human touch. n In child eye the mother is the most beautiful woman, a best friend, a mentor of his life.
It is a mother's love, pure and unadulterated, which nourishes a child and helps him to see and understand the cruel and the harsh world where he is destined to spend the rest of his life. Only a mother knows how it feels to be a mother.

Motherhood is a symbol of love, kindness and forgiveness. A mother's heart is filled with a never-exhausting love for her children. She lives and dies for them. No matter it is the first child, or the sixth child or the 100th Child like Gandhari in Mahabharata, the feeling is the same for everyone. She is never biased to anyone of them. Her responsibility to raise a child is the same. She shoulders them happily with a huge responsibility of instilling the good and the bad in her child's heart. Being a mother is tough. A mother's every action and word is under the deepest scrutiny and therefore she is always over cautious of her conduct. Whether you are a single mother or an ideal mother you are the role model for the child.
Throughout the History great personalities have been molded by mothers who have transformed the lives of people by and  large.

Being a woman

Born in India, a place where a girl is still taken to be a burden of the parents, always have been proud of my parents,  I being the only child - a daughter child, they never gave a second thought of having another male child to be the future successor. My father was my best friend I could ever have in my life. He never made me feel that I was a girl. He made me feel that I was the SON of his and his upbringing always helped me to be self reliant and induced a lot of confidence in myself and helped me taking many challenges that was thrown on my path down the life. 
He always taught me to be patient and have faith in life. 

I lost my father in  October, 1984. It was a great shock to me and my mom. My father had  lot of dreams for me and my mother being all alone in this Mumbai to a great extent has fulfilled my Fathers dreams.

After my fathers death, she could have easily gone back to Calcutta and would have bought me up in the midst of the immediate realtives we have there.
But my mom chose me to otherwise, struggled all alone in Mumbai and gave me the best education and all the support she could give to me as a mentor, as best friend and as a mother.

This blog is an tribute to my mother and all the women and its different aspects in life being a daughter, a friend, a lover, a wife, a mother and a grand mother.

Hope to do justice to this blog at the best.
