F For Failure

Snippet Of A Day In My Life

"Falling off the slide

Last at finish line

Lesson learnt"

F for failure is A-Okay. Why not? Every failure, every fall teaches us something. Most importantly you learn the importance of getting up and trying again after falling down. I have tried my best to instill this in my 5 year old and as both of them grow up I hope I am able to erase any fear of failure from their minds. Failure is okay!

Even as a mother as much as I want to, I am not perfect. I fail in so many things but I try to never give up. Trust me this is a tough role for me. It is so much easier to become a parent than actually being one. I fail, I reflect, I learn and I move on. Failure is A-Okay!

Some of the blogs that I love from Day 5 are listed below. Do show them some love.

Secretly we spoke

I peep through the door secretly

If there is a future for we

But you hardly spoke

What you said was this and that

Nothing worldly nothing wise

If we were supposed to be one

Why were you not asking more and

Why were you not looking for me?

I waited through the cages for you and I

Didn't you hear what my heart said

I won’t believe what your words tell

I won’t believe what others tells me

All words are empty like the-

Hidden doors of secrets

Life is made of

Or like the

Golden confines of world

I ask him to break the shackles and he

Shocked but awed said

Shhh

Why break confines, let

Chains be chained to silence

Don’t ask don’t tell

It is us, I and you

We define what are the

Confines or secrets

Our world is made of

Not the

Walls, Bars, norms, Religion, Preachers of the world!

Shared with NaPoWriMo. The prompt was to write a golden shovel. I have used the following work by Rumi for my poem:

"Secretly we spoke,

that wise one and me.

I said, Tell me the secrets of the world.

He said, Sh... Let silence

Tell you the secrets of the world"

Love

What is love

Lost in loved one’s eyes

Unified at heart

Left alone again in obscurity

That is love

When I bawled your name

But god came

And god came

When I couldn’t find you

I found love

E for Efficiency

Snippet Of A Day In My Life

Efficiency

"Plane goes woosh

Monkey does a boogie

Dinner done"

E Efficiency

Dinner time is a time that makes me most efficient. It is the time that is just before sleep time. Sleep time for kids is officially party (READ writing) time for Mumma. So this mom is willing to do anything for a happy healthy meal. Stories, aeroplane bites, flying spoons, dancing like a monkey...just anything that will make my younger one sit at one place and eat.

Have you encountered this if you are a parent? Or have you seen any other parent do something crazy just to feed their kid? What is the most efficient system you have seen?
