AGNI ..... Week 18 ...

AGNI .... In the 18th week .... A handsome boy indeed ...

AGNI lives and that's my justice ....

Suddenly, there was a movement .....

Something I had lost ....

Was found ....

Agni .... moved .....

He moved within me....

And all this time I thought ...

I had lost him ....

He was deeply ensconced and safe ....

My joy knew no bounds ....

Am fulfilled ....

The life within me lives ....

I forgive the culprit now ....

Coz' I have a reason to live ....

A reason to live happily ....

With my memories and my Agni ....

Forever happy ....

No other to share him with me ....

Just me and my three babies.

A news that sets my mind free....

That sets me apart ...

Time to pack my bag ... 

Lest the enemy harm my unborn now....

Time to move into the mountains....

Till my love takes full shape ....

And blossoms ... into a handsome lad.

Time to take Agni away ...

Far away from this mayhem....

Into safe realms ....

My world ... my life.

Agni lives and that's my justice.

When God closes one door ...

He leaves scope for another to remain open ....

This one is ajar .... forever now.

My Agni in healthy condition ....

What else can I ask the Lord for ....

He has given me my justice on a platter.

Agni moves and lets me know ....

He makes me aware of his presence ...

What else can a mother ask for.

Within me my baby lives ....

Within me a life thrives ....

No time for trivial pursuits now ...

Time for birthing to take place ...

Time to search for a safe haven ....

Time to move on.

Five months on .....

He has taken shape ....

A healthy boy ....

A handsome lad ...

Four more months and ....

We shall be blessed....

Blessed with the joyous cries of a newborn ...

Blessed with a wizard ...

A culmination of beauty and brains.

Agni ..... My Abhimanyu ....

My saviour from the blessed Lord.

INDIA IS LOST FOREVER ....

Yesterdays verdict proved it all ...
What from time immemorial people have been saying ...
The Law sucks ....
The Law keepers are worse ...
They suck the blood out of the victims ....
They are vampires ...
That thrive on the common mans blood.
They side with the criminals .....
They overlook facts and figures ...
They destroy evidence ...
They destroy every ounce of humanness in us....
They are blood sucking leeches ....
The ones representing the criminals ....
They are the ones who rape their own mothers ...
For they have no conscience ...
They deserve no mercy ...
All of them ....
Deserve to rot in hell ....
Hell it is for them ...
To hell with the LAW AND THE LEGAL SYSTEM ...
THE COUNTRY SUCKS ....
THE COUNTRY STINKS ...
THE COUNTRY IS IN THE HANDS OF TYRANTS....
I AM NO MORE PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN..
INDIA IS LOST FOREVER....

Every dog has his days ...

Today was your day ...
Guess what?...
And I  granted it to you ....
This is the beginning of the END....
Every dog has his day ...
At least dogs are faithful ....
Can't call you a dog.f
Saw your tearful mother ...
Saw  your cheerful daughter ...
oblivious of what was happening ...
I felt pity....
And kept quiet ....
They shouldn't suffer for your crimes ...
The time for your annihilation has come ..
Then there won't be anybody to offer you water even...
You bribed the law ...
They too shall pay a heavy price for it ...
For every dog has his day ....
Enjoy the day ....
For the wheels are turning ....
They will crush every bone in your body ....
They will mince your flesh ...
Your blood splattered every where...
No one to save you...
As all shall share the same grave as yours.

A lone woman's battle ....

A sense of Deja' Vu....
A slight relief ...
One milestone achieved ...
One step taken ....
An inch moved forward ...
Some progress ...
It's a long and lonely fight ...
A lone woman's battle ....
A fight till the end ...
A war that will see many casualties ...
A war that none will win ...
Yet, a war to be fought ...
A war for justice ...
For the rights of women labelled by the society ...
The so called law makers of the society ...
The so called Law keepers of the society ...
Who degrade women ....
Who disrespect their own mothers, daughters and sisters....
Now, it's a fight to bring them to their knees ...
If it has to be fought ...
So be it ....
The rest of the world on one side ...
Truth and justice on one side ...
I carry forth unabashed...
Unhindered by the defamation ..,.
A lone woman's battle ...
A battle for JUSTICE ...
Against all the odds.

There's no looking back ....
One step at a time ...
Long and lonely fight.

Seeing him in handcuffs today ....
My heart cried a bit ...
Yet, there was no remorse on his face ...
Arrogance and deceit writ large on his face ...
A belief that he could buy the Law ....
He tried ... his kith and kin are trying ...
They are disbursing money left, right and centre ...
To all and sundry ...
To avoid getting further remand ....
They are trying methods of intimidation ...
Yet, I steel my resolve and carry forth ...
The torch to light the path of justice.

I am no stranger to his antics ...
His dramatic ways ....
I see no shame on his face ....
No guilt at all.

His counsel called me names ...
Yet, I heard it all....
I flinched not a bit ...
For I know the truth ...
A naked truth about justice ...
A long way to go ...
A winding path laden with thorns ....
A path few dare to tread.
Am game for all the brickbats ....
Am game for all the labels ...
They are just labels ...
To picture me in bad light ...
To save the skin of a criminal.

They look at me in the court of justice ...
They look at me with hatred ...
Yet, they look at me with fear filled eyes ...
For they know ...
I am a woman of strong resolve ...
And shall fight tooth and nail ...
Till justice shall prevail.

Finally, it's all going to begin ...

We shall once again relive each moment ....
Each moment in front of others .....
Finally, ....
Finally it's all going to begin ....
Begin ... all over again... for you and me ....
But, this time round ....
Not as partners for life ...
But, as partners in strife...
A very sad way to end a relation...
A very sad way to begin animosity.

I have no regrets....
I have no apprehensions ...
I have lost everything ...
I have nothing to lose ...
Not even repute ...
You made sure ... of it...
So, at the end of it ...
You are the loser ... Not me ...
I am the giver ...
You are the taker...
One who snatched it all in one go.

The Lord watches over all of us...
You, me ... our loved ones....
Do not forget ...
One who lives in a glass house ...
Never throws a stone at others...
Your house is made of glass too ...
And a stone can shatter it too.
Before touching a woman ...
Consider this ...
You have a mother and sisters too ...
You have a daughter too ..
The other woman is someone's daughter too ...
And, her father watches over her from heaven ...
He watches every move of yours ...
He has designs for you.

Finally, the prodigal daughter returns ...
She returns with her dad's blessings ...
She returns with him beside her ...
She returns to haunt you.

Finally, it has all begun ...
Afresh ...
Every Daughter .....
Every Sister ...
Every Wife ...
Every Mother ...
Every Woman ...
Beware .....
Here comes the Werewolf ...
Spare him not ...
Grab the nearest weapon ...
And reduce the criminal to pulp.

Finally, the real war begins ...
The turf is clear ....
The Army in place ...
Every move determined ...
But, ye not know... My move yet.

This is the Mahabharata ...
This is my Kurukshetra ...
Behold .... hold your tongue ...
Lest you lash at me ...
And I retaliate with my arrows ...
Arrows of destruction ...
For I shall lay a bed of arrows for you ....
I shall lace your drink with blood ...
Blood of my unborns ...
The ones you killed in cold blood....
You shall repent ...
Coz' this Earth is your living hell.

I am Krishna ...
I am Arjuna ...
I pine for my Abhimanyu ...
The unborn we named 'AGNI' ...
You shall burn as I burn ...
For this is the last battle to be fought on Earth ...
For this is Kalyuga ...
This is our story ....
A saga to be told for generations to come.

Finally ... the story begins ...
Unfolds all its mysteries ...
People will read it with mouth open ...
Eyes wide with surprise.

Finally, it's all going to begin ...
AT the stroke of midnight ...
AGNI will rise from his ashes...
The Phoenix shall fly again.

He lay there ....

He lay there ... wrapped in cotton ....
Wet in crimson fluid ....
My flesh and blood ....
A piece of dead and decay ....
My love shorn to pieces ...
A resolve rose in my eyes ...
Steely resolve ...
Agni's death wouldn't go waste ...
His death to be justified.

He lay there .... lifeless...
I lay next to him ... lifeless ...
A zombie have I been ... eversince ...
Searching him in the nights.

A mother cries each night ....
Mourning her unborn child ...
Somewhere the murderer sleeps ....
Waking up with a start ...
The cry ... so shrill ...
The howl ... so melancholy ....
How can the World sleep ...
When the mother runs pillar to post ....
Asking for justice?

He lay there ...
She set her gaze upon him ...
A steely resolve to get him justice ...
His death won't go unwarranted.

Who am I ....

Who am I ....
To judge a person ....
Who am I ....
To judge a community ...
Who am I ....
To judge the social system ...
Who am I ...
To judge the law makers ...
Who am I ....
To judge the law keepers ...
I am .....
One who questions ....
I am one ....
Who helped make the society ...
I am one ....
Who really matters ...
I am the citizen of this country ...
My country ...
In which I was born ...
Where I lived ....
And upheld ...
All social values ...
All cultural ethos ....
I helped build this nation ...
Gave two decades to make great citizens ...
I gave this country ....
My sweat and blood ...
I stood by the Ideals and values ...,
I was the sentinel ...
Today I stand alone ...
Fighting a lone battle ...
Against the evil that exists in our society ...
Yet I fight alone ...
People mock me for my stance ...
People do not understand ...
They are all ignorant learned fools ...
Hiding in their homes ...
Scared people ...
Not ready to face the world ...
And they blame the Government ...
What are they doing to fight for their own rights?
Civil rights or human rights ...
Fight we must for justice ....
Who am I to tell the the people what is right?
Who am I to wake them up?
I am the sentinel....
That watches over my country ...
When the real ones are sleeping...
I am the Guardian of my Nation ...
I am every Citizen.
Am not afraid to die ...
To uphold what I believe in ...
I am here to stay ...
Immortal in my words....
Truth shall prevail ...
Evil annihilated ...
Whether am dead or alive ...
The quest shall go on ...
My dreams shall live on.

Who am I ....
I am ... Me, Myself ... know it well ...
I am every Citizen.
