Tales Among the Shelves

Image
My love for peace drew me to visit different libraries, It made me explore various activities, various culture, Each and every library connected me to something meaningful, It gave me the memories that I will always nurture. Papakura Library has become my second home, It’s my comfort place that ignites motivation inside me, I participated in and designed various activities for them, It’s that part of the city, where my heart always wants to be. Takaninni Library was a small and warm space, A part of the town that screamed serenity, It helped me connect to the Māori culture, Every sector of library attached me to this incredible community. Manurewa Library’s visit made me relive my festivals, As there were many captivating activities and events, I found a huge collection of books in different languages, A simple opportunity to learn various dialects and accents. Mangere Library was combination of peace and bustle, The Town Centre was filled with crowd while the library was peaceful Libr...

The Year of Change

Image
This year has been a year of change, A difference that impacted my inner self, The shift was both exciting and strange, But behind my back was support of the elf. From study pattern to language, From habits to means of living, From seeking help to gaining courage, From staying together to missing. I opened my arms for new opportunities, And changed me to be more independent, I mingled with different communities, Evolving myself was the only thing constant. I observed more, I explored more, This new country, its new culture, Even though challenges were to the core, I learnt to cherish and to nurture. I missed my home where I spent my childhood, The people who were close to my heart, I missed the festivals, celebrations and food, But all this was with me even if I was apart. This year brought positivity and maturity, I prepared myself to face the difficulties, Instead, I received was support and purity, There was a sense of warmness in this breeze. “Preet” truly enjoyed this shift, And ...

The wave of celebration is in the air, The preparation has started months before, Every street, every shop is ready to flair, To make begin the festive season to core. The spark in people’s eyes is evitable, The joy and excitement are up to infinity, Their wish to think good of others is unmatchable, With Every hug, every handshake, they fill love in the city.

पतंग की ऊँचाइयाँ

Image
बंधती है वह एक डोरी से , होती है फिरकी के हाथों में उसकी उड़ान , फिर भी उड़ती है ऊँचा , बरकरार रखते हुए अपनी शान | हवाओं के संग वह उड़ती है , आसमान की ऊँचाइयों को चूमती है , किसी मस्तमौजी की तरह , पूरे आकाश में वह घूमती है | जब तक उसकी डोर हाथ में है , लोग उसे ख़ुशी से उड़ाते हैं , लेकिन जब वह कट जाए , तो उसे किसी बेगाने की तरह भूल जाते हैं | पतंग इंसानों को ही तो दर्शाती है , हवा के साथ-साथ नये रास्ते पर मुड़ती है , यह "प्रीत" भी कितनी पागल है , जो कागज़ की पतंगों में अपनी प्रेरणा ढूंढ़ती है| कवयित्री :                                                                                     ...

Diwali: Festival of Positivity

Image
Diwali is a festival of light, That celebrates virtue over vice, Lighting lamps and crackers becomes a treat, Variety of sweets emerge as suffice.   This festival was celebrated on return of Lord Rama, Who came home from exile after 14 years, He was accompanied by wife Sita, brother Lakshmana, And those who became his followers and peers.   He had killed Ravana, a demon King, As Ravana had abducted Sita with his evil trick, Happiness of Lord Ram's victory, Was reflected on Ayodhya’s every brick.   Diwali is celebrated as the message of Knowledge, It propagates positivity and sharing, " Preet " wishes everyone a very Happy Diwali, As “ Diwali ” is a symbol of new day new beginning.   Poetess:                                              ...

तिरंगे के रंग

  तीन रंगों से बना तिरंगा , भारत को दर्शाता है , बीच में स्थित अशोक चक्र , धर्म का मार्ग दिखाता है |   भगवा रंग प्रतीक है , त्याग , वीरता और देशभक्ति का , यह रंग प्रमाण है , हमारे जवानों की शक्ति का |   सफ़ेद रंग दिखाता है , सत्य का रास्ता , प्रेरित करता है हमें , रखने की मन में स्वछता |    हरा रंग दर्शाता है , जीवन की समृद्धि , क्योंकि हमारे किसान , ही करते हैं हमारे घर में वृद्धि |   " प्रीत" मानती है "तिरंगे" को देश की शान , सभी को करना चाहिए इसका सम्मान , सदा हमारी रक्षा करते रहे हैं जवान , जो यह तिरंगे को लेकर होते हैं कुर्बान |     कवयित्री :                                                            ...

Her Prayers

Image
Her prayers are the shining armor , More than blankets, her hugs are warmer. She prays for her child’s good health, She prays for her child’s success and wealth, She worships for her child’s excellence, She worships to be capable of fulfilling her child’s preference, She walks to holy places for her child’s improvements, She walks to holy places on her child’s achievements. She performs rituals and offerings for her child’s expansion, She performs rituals and offerings for her child’s life satisfaction. She fasts for victory of her child on span’s every step, She fasts to bring happiness at her child’s footstep. Like her life, her prayers also revolve around her baby, In the matter of her child, she never feels lazy. This Mother’s Day “Preet” thanks her mother for all the prayers, As that’s what protects me in my life’s every layers. Poetess:                                         ...
