Back After Attending Wedding Ceremony of My Cousin 's Children

Hey lovely souls! 

Hope all is well at your side by the grace of God! 

I am back from my special trip to my native  village to attend the wedding ceremony of my cousin's kids a daughter and a son. It was my first trip  without hubby in two decades. My youngest son accompanied me and it was pleasant surprise to see him doing things alone with  sense of responsibility. 

My cousin Rukhsana lives in village very close to mine,just across the stream. She was married to husband who was not much responsible. She led a life full of challenges but managed to make her children educated and smart.Both of her boys are settled in Saudi Arabia now mashallah! 

Her eldest boy came home after 9 years to get married with his cousin. His younger brother came to attend wedding ceremony of him after 4 years so this was quite touching time times for the family. It was emotional for me as well to attend such beautiful events in my native home  after more than 30 years. These 11 days that I spent there seemed to pass with blink of an eye. I felt such level of the joy after so long because of this family reunion ❤

Sharing some photos form hundreds I took during my stay.

 On right is beautiful daughter of my cousin and on left is her pretty daughter in law. Wedding had five major events that were held in halls in city except all dholki and dance parties held in the house during 10 days.  I loved all the hustle and bustle ceremonies despite of noise and very much crowd.

 It could have been better shot if I have captured  while couple was sitting on the stage but i missed because I was having conversation with friends. Bride (Daughter of my cousin)  is leaving with groom at final day.

Truth Or Dare (poem written by me)

 

Hope you know me i am man 

playing this game of loss and gain 

Tickled by fanciful rituals it has 

Running madly within puzzle of maze

In the beginning when i saw 

World was rough and life was raw

I was born with curious heart 

Always after what i have not 

My restlessness made me grew 

Always chasing unknown "due"

I created explored and carved 

To change older things with new 

I opened up ground's crest 

To get all what it had pet 

Going through hardship so cruel 

I obtained raw forms of fuel 

I refined  and  distribute 

To lay  civilization root 

 Sea or desert or spooky caves

Always had something to gave

Some metals with value high 

As their prices reaching sky 

Some naive but of subtle rank

Delved into air as airoplane 

When i looked at water untamed 

Thought it's needed to be framed 

By overcoming it's speed and waste 

Controlled it to facilitate 

Beautified with bridges and dam 

Nothing could stood in my aim

My eyes when saw Forest dark 

Realized it's hidden spark 

Embellished world with wooden feature

Architecture and furniture 

Everything i saw unbaked 

Picked it up to trim and shape 

I am proud how i  advanced

On the rhythm of need when danced 

Don't mind if it looks like  brag

It has been exhausting drag 

Now i wanna feel good and free 

Leaving behind all the creeds

Untying humanity from all  chains

Unfamiliar of whining or blames

So everyone can follow his heart 

By overlooking but ,if ,what 

Some say what i did is cool 

Though there are some naive fools 

Who give preference to "rules"

Talking about "order" and "ques"

What the point in making all" plain"?

When i forgot what is main

They think like a everything else

My mind needs refinement as well 

Waking and strengthening  Soul

Can be way that lead to goal

Trimming down trees of wish and dream

That are too much wild and extreme 

Bringing order in the thoughts 

Can save me from hurting others lot

Reconsidering priorities 

Can bring earthers lots of ease

I would say it's easiest thing 

Teaching others how to sing 

But when it's to catch the tune 

Sending wild beast to saloon 

Conquering world is easier bask

Fighting one's ego is hardest task 

Acknowledging own's flaws 

Travelling against gravity laws

Can i make this happen ever 

Says conscience  now or never 

Starting war is difficult 

Fighting  against inner ugly cult 

Reigning my head since i am

Ruining the original gem 

In the body soul was sowed 

To sprout up and grow 

From the rock 's core doomed 

Gently appear innocent bloom

What i did to thing subtle ? 

Imprisoned behind the grill 

Grill made up of lust and greed 

Despair was her only feed

Can i make her live again ?

To sit on throne of my brain 

Making him realize that he 

Must understand reality 

That his thoughts are "energy"

Like branches out of tree

Growing fearlessly free

That's what energy meant to be ?

Always up to something true 

But Oblivious how to do!

It's on soul to show it path

What to choose and what to not

Because brain is body's slave

Captivated in it's cave 

Reacting to chemical flee

Carrying orders momentary 

Giving physical senses drive

So it's  master can survive

But soul is Divine light

To make our paths bright 

So we cane walk with care 

Balancing "truth" or "dare" 

sorry if it got bit long ,just hope you liked it friends !

thank you for bearing with me !

blessings to all of you and loved ones!

 

 

 

The Days (poem written by me)

 

Days are like different doorways 

Each one  opening to new ablaze 

Heavy or light doesn't depend on season 

Good or bad without logic or reason 

One day you get up and world is mad 

Some craziness has turned all bad

You feel awful though things are right 

 With everyone you want to fight

Although all around is same 

Inevitably you want to blame 

For the things did not go well

Who is responsible ?hard to tell

 Moments come when you want to figure 

But today you are ridiculous digger

Like heavy rock you drag your day 

Leaving you with thoughts hard to sway .

One day you get up and feel top of the world 

Flying without wings all over like a bird

Overwhelmed by exciting pulse 

People seem patients and you are nurse 

Treating others with kindness and calm 

Gestures are sweet and words are balm 

Your kit is full of tools 

Those who worry ,you think are fools

No such thing with you can't deal 

Oldest wounds are going to heal 

Long awaited puzzles and question 

Miraculously today are done 

Such days are like winter's sunlight 

To end  them you don't want night 

Some days idle , dull and slow 

you don't want to get up and go 

All you want is stick to bed 

Scroll phone screen what is written or said 

Laying lazily between sleep and awake 

No thought cooking no dream baked 

Tons of coffee and tea taken by you 

Where is  mind? still no clue 

To motivate ,you try things 

Music or stretching but no bell ring 

Gossip on call or book to read 

Trying to focus is such "dread"

Priceless moments and hours of your day 

uselessly just wasted away 

But at night when you lay to rest 

Suddenly you feel you got back your best 

Some days Social full of cheerful mood

You forgot once you have been rude

Want to get out and meet everyone you know 

Hugging and kissing ,greeting and bow 

You think how you missed all this 

Relationships are such a bliss 

Aunts and uncles cousins and friends

Life at once seems colorful blend 

Beautiful rainbow encompassing your heart

Makes you feel strangely strong and vast

Some days are lone that isolate you  

You don't want see any old or new 

Self reflection is call of soul 

And meditation can lead to goal

You knew all now time to know you 

Work of "figuring" ,"mending" and "sew" 

Once you have rearranged the "self"

You can find your place in "shelf"

Just like roots grow into stem 

Days are how you look at them 

And your look is determined mostly by what you eat

So please beware of what you choose as meal

Can't say whether you believe it or not 

But what you eat makes "day you got" 

Sorry for ruining the poetic essence with last stanza ,along with all other reasons that influence our days what we eat is really important actually and i wanted to convey it because i am experiencing how correcting eating habits makes our days better.

thanks for bearing!
