SCARS.

2020-05-29T23:07:00.002-07:00

I remember that day

I remember that pain

All the scars

I recieved that day

Which was all insane

and fully stained

It was all in heart

beneath my smiles

Wore all my scars like

the sky wear stars

Was sulking within and

sufferings begin

A battle embarked

struggle conjoined

Ripped me apart and

my heart all scarred

Still hope didn't die and

was standing high

Heart was afraid but

mind was not played

While I died there

they strongly stayed

Slowly steadly

was less bothered

Nights were scary as

I was all alone

Days were fine as

I pretend well

Scars were all

hiding in eyes

But never allowed

the world to see

As was shattered, broken

and all crashed

And didn't allowed

sympathy to smash!

The Life Of An Indian Farmer.

2020-05-29T08:36:00.009-07:00

So we know that india is a land of villages and is also called an agricultural country because agriculture is the backbone of indian economy. The majority of our population lives in villages and most of them are farmers. An indian farmer is way hard working than we could ever think of.

They are the reason of our survival as they provide us food without which this life is impossible and still they live a life which is full of difficulties and miseries. Inspite of their hard labour they are the part of extreme poverty, they born in debt, live in debt and dies in debt.

Role of Farmers

Before 1970s India was not self-sufficent in producing food grains and were used to import grains from other countries in huge sum but when they try to extort and blackmail indians the then prime minister of india Lal Bahadur Shastri gave a slogan ''Jai Jawan Jai Kisan'' to motivate our farmers to make india stands on its own and not be dependent on other countries.

After this, the green revolution started in India and we became self-sufficient in food grains and not only that we started exporting to other countries. Even they contributes so much to indian economy they live a misrable life. They are called the driving force of our economy. Every citizen of the country is dependent on the products produced by them because that is the basic need of life.

Their Present Conditions

Nowadays the situation has gotten so worse the farmers are commiting suicide because of the heavy burden of debts and lack of source of income and incapability of feeding their families and themselves.

What can be worse than this that the one who is feeding is not getting enough food for their families and are forced to commit suicide because that is the only option they are left with.

Everyday there is report of farmer suicides from different parts of the country. If we see this overall, this happens all because of the partial difference between the productivity and the price of the products. It goes like if the productivity is higher then the price will be lower and vice versa. Their level of productivity and yield depends on the rainfall every season it's all on the mercy of god.

Many a times their crops have been destroyed due to heavy rains and that's the time their miseries begins. Famines and flood often takes away the hard work of the farmers

But now the government is giving its utmost attention to the problems of farmers. Various programmes of villlage and villagers upliftment has been introduced and various schemes have been launched by the government like:

Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojna (PM-KISAN) ,

Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojna (PMSKY) ,

Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojna (PMFBY) ,

Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojna (PKVY)

and many more in the list.

Let's hope that in near future their situations will be improved and their life would be better from their life today. They would be healthy, happy and prosperous and would be no longer in debt , as at present because whenever the news of their suicide comes i can surely say we all somewhere get stumped.

Because of them we are living this life all healthy and happy so let's pray together for their well-being.

The Life Of Stray Dogs. 🐾

2020-05-27T05:34:00.016-07:00

When we hear the word "stray animals" the first image to which our mind comes across are of the dogs and then probably cats which we encounter in our lives on a daily basis on the streets. The word stray itself says the one who is lost and has no proper place to live. We can conclude that stray animals are not where they should be. They are those who are separated by their keepers either by lack of care, misfortune or if escaped somehow. They are on the streets because they have been abandoned by humans.

Ever thought how difficult it must be to live on the streets with no food no water no love no care no aid nothing all hopeless and homeless. How much of abuse, hunger, illness, ill-treatment they face on a daily basis. The way they crave for the food and love with that innocence in their eyes is so heart breaking and depressing we don't know how to help them all but we can help few but how we all are clueless. All we can do is we can spread awareness about their sufferings to the people at large. We have to make those ignorant people feel for them that they also have a life and let's help them and not let them die of hunger and exhaustion on the streets.

Let's try to feel that feeling for few seconds;

Why are we here

what we have done

that we deserves to be here

Why can't we live like you

Why am I homeless n all hopeless

Why no one wants us, please accept us

I promise won't trouble you

Wherever we go you all humiliates us beats us

We are full of pain n aches and yet merciless

With no food no water no home trust me

it's hard it's hard and its hard

you'll never believe us

We starvs for weeks dying everyday of exhaustion n thrusts

People pass, looks, beats and pass and it continues

Then one out of few feed us a lil and

we look at them hoping they might

take us home

They leave and the struggle continues till we die.

So now say how was the feeling, you died for a while right. So yes they have a very hard life and we can never really imagine that pain and sufferings and this way they rarely survive for a long time. Everyday several stray dogs are dying because of starvation, poisoning, lynching and accidents.

So to all those failed pet owners who have thrown out their pets on the streets please be human with animals too. They need us they don't deserve this. Can't you see the innocence in their eyes when you throw them out of your house. All those abandoned dogs are the results of those heartless and irresponsible pet buyers.

Stray animals have always been tortured and mistreated by we humans. But there are those humans too who cares for them looks after them and can feel for them and we are so thankful of them.

There are several non governmental organisations who works for animal rights and look after them so if you want to do your part for the stray animals do look up to these NGOs.

Checkout the links below:

There are also many other ways in which we can help them and those are like;

we can educate people around, our friends and family or we can raise money for them by contributing each.
Whenever you see any animal in trouble or being tortured by children's or anyone speak up immediately and call your local animal control officers they will rescue them out. Even if you're unable to help them atleast you can just call the animals rescue centres to help them out.
Teach your childrens to be kind to them educate them about animal rights and our responsibilities towards them.
Spread the informations of stray dogs on different social media platforms if anyone might adopt them.
If you find any injured dogs or cats or any stray animals take them to veterinary doctors if u cannot then call the rescue team.
Instead of wasting food and throwing it all into your dustbin give it to them.

We can't save all of them but we can save few. 🙌

Impact of COVID-19 on Labour Class and Migrant Workers.

2020-05-25T04:33:00.003-07:00

This year we have been seeing all those things which one has never imagined that something will happen in this way. This corona times is affecting every person in any one or other way. We just can't deny that this is the worst phase to which humans are going through.

So today let's choose one section from all those affected ones and that is the labour class and our migrant workers all over the country. Ever since the first lockdown of COVID-19 INDIA was implemented starting March 20, 2020 the situation of labourers were always the centre of discussion. This year this is the time in which they are struggling hard to survive and are craving for the protection of their rights more than ever. The daily wage earners are finding it difficult to feed themselves and their family. One statement which are coming from them is that " Hunger and starvation will kill us before Corona" how depressing is this thought when we hear this no one can imagine how they are struggling to survive on a daily basis.

The hapless and unfortunate situation of all the migrant workers , daily wage earners and all the labour class are conspicuous all across the country. If we truly accept the fact that the labour class has never been ever taken seriously or has never been looked upon they were always neglected by every other sectors though they plays the most vital role in all the sectors across the country. This pandemic in one way has come to take us to the realities of labour class. Now everyone is seeing and feeling their conditions which before corona no one cared. They have always been looked down by every sections of the society. COVID-19 has just highlighted it better.From the very ancient times the labour class has been not given their credit they deserved.

The one incident which wrenched the heart of whole india was the death of those 16 migrant workers who were run over by a train in Aurangabad who were helplessly sleeping on rail tracks due to exhaustion while walking to their homes. They are desperate for their homes bcz of the non availability of resources to live and all they could do is walking hundreds thousands of kilometres to get back to their homes carrying their belongings,childeren, old parents on their shoulder. All those images which we come across daily in news are enough to wrench our heart.

After the prime minister's addressal on 24th March to get completely locked up in all our homes the lives of those poor migrants and labourers completely changed and they went into the limiteless number of miseries. All of it are happening because of the oppressions and abolition of their rights by the upper class they always made the most out of their labourers but never given them their legit credit they deserved. Their situations are not only because of them it because of us as a society we failed. It's the truth that india is failing to cope up with the COVID-19 all because of the miserable conditions of the poor sections all across the country.

According to Brookings report, india has 73 million people living in poverty which makes the 5.5 % of the total population of India. The government of India has surely having its tough time in the battle of Corona virus maintaining the balance between the measures they are implementing to fight this battle and also the conditions of weaker sections of our society.

We should also thank all those several individuals ,NGOs, the government who are helping the needy by distributing the food and rations regularly. We should too come forward and support them. Remember we all will not just support them but we will support our country in the battle of Corona virus.

This the ideal time the government should tighten up and takes strong decision to better up the conditions of poor sections and provides goods and services who need the most rather than pretending that it's not that needed and will overcome easily. They should not and should not be neglected after what this pandemic has given them.

That One Day.🌱

2020-05-20T04:39:00.002-07:00

I believe that one day

I will get what I have dreamt

And will prove to those

Who have condemned

With this hope I am moving

Today tomorrow and everyday

I will be grooming and improving

More than the previous day

Will not be losing my faith

Will work hard to make it in my fate

That one day is my sole object

And I am diligent on my target

See you soon "that one day"

I'll make you mine that one day

Right now far is that day

But I'll own you one day.

Mental Health Matters.

2020-05-18T05:13:00.001-07:00

In this generation what works

the most is a human brain

That is the one who suffers the most

endure the most ,ache the most

And has literally been ignored the most

This incredible machine which

we all possess

needs their fuel as much as the rests

Primarily it's all about body fitness,

beauty regimes ,skin routine

And nothing about mental fitness

Mental regimes and mental routine

Unknowingly affecting our emotional, psychological, social

well being

And still no one is seriously

seeing

High time we should understand the fact

that mental health is vital at every stage

from the very beginning to the end

Start being vocal if your mind is playing with you in any of the way on which

there is no more control of yours

Stop yourself from hiding out of shame

And come out you beautiful soul

Whatever anyone claim

Be selfish when it's all about you

Drop everything when it's all about you.

Pandemic or Poverty:COVID-19 INDIA

2020-05-17T14:40:00.002-07:00

If this doesn't haunt you

If this doesn't exhaust you

Helpless we've become

Sitting inside and helplessly

seeing these images

ripping us apart

Where people are terribly

looking out for their home

My lord are you really

annoyed with us

Punish the evils instead

of these innocent souls

Truly it has been said

that money is everything

If you have it you're worth it

Quarantine Feelings.

2020-05-17T06:46:00.003-07:00

Feelin this ya feelin that ya

Doesn't matter bcz it's of no use ya

All you need is to stay in

Or you might catch something

You don't wanna see in

This time is to realise

what better we can do off

What else are we blessed of

What else are we made of

Nurture those you finally got of

If yet not then go on and go on

In search of what else are you made of

Tell those sadness to get off

And happiness to turn on

Hope to imbibe in, Fear to dive in

Love to spread out, Peace to spring in

Anxiety to hang on, Negativity to lose on.🌷

Choose Your Day.

2020-05-17T06:46:00.002-07:00

A good day and a bad day is

the outcome of

how we process our thoughts

how we proceed to it

And how we conduct to it

Ourselves are the reason of

all the oppressions

which mind has to go through

With all those self cession

We are the ones who decides

which day is, what day

Being happy doesn't comes easy

but when it comes makes every

thing around us breezey

Those pleasant sensations we get

in happiness are rare to find

Hold on to those when you feel

your days are not kind

Count on your blessings and

You will find those sensations

again back lined.🌷

Pledge To Spread Happiness.🌸

2020-05-17T06:46:00.001-07:00

Sadness occurs due to Sadness

And sadness occurs due to Sadness

But it should not be happening

the way it's happening

Why one is supposed to feel that way

The people want them to feel those way

Its hard to be calm and be unaffected of it

When this world throw their

tantrums your way

People can you be lil kind to people

Cz it actually affects the people

Why can't we pledge to spread

happiness around

And not discourage people around

Everyone is carrying some baggage inside

Try to be little humane with human outside.

-rashmi.😊

Ye waqt jo is ummeed me guzaar rahe hain hum

Ki ayega firse wo waqt jab khuli hawaon me jee sakenge hum

Wo kaam ka tanav wo shaam ka intezar

Wo weekends ki raah wo weekdays ke hisaab

Wo bahar ki dhoop wo mitti ki dhul

Bas maaf karde rab agar hui ho koi bhul

Yaad aati hain wo raahein jinse guzarte the har din

Khuda bas ab dikhade yaar firse wo din

Tham si gayin hai logon ki umeedein

Par aas ne na chhodi hai apne iraade

Amulya hai wo log jo din raat lage hai is khoj

Ki firse chalegi duniya jese chalti thi har roz

Naman hai hamara unki junooniyat ke aage

Karzdaar hai hum unke himmat ke aage

Khuda ne bheje hain apne bande

Jo aj tainat hain hamari surakhsha ke aage. 🙏
