Fathers

Fathers are very important. They form us.

A Father has an unflinching aura and under the patronage of this beaming light, springs a child’s life. He instils in his child the skill of taking the first footsteps and also lays down a concrete path of victory and triumph for his grown-up.

If life is an expedition, fathers, without doubt, are the finest coordinators. A father does not only design his child’s life but, in the process becomes the warmest confidant of his baby, who knows when to constrict and thus contour better. Sadly, the loads of today’s world are weighty and at times, we tend to break. We break and fall! A father has a firm faith in his child and therefore, only a father can hold the fragments of his broken baby together and reform him.

Fathers form us and reform us too, if we fall. Thank God for dads!

A father is a daughter’s first love and it is not just a cliché. It is the truth that every girl holds close to her bosom. He is the only man who understands all her moods and therefore, he is the only hero of her life. He may not be known to the world but, he means the whole world to her.

A father is a daughter’s star for, he knows when to be her light and when to be a veil .
He sets her free when she wants to ballet with the breeze and shields her when the winds blow rough.
He watches his ‘Darling Cherub’ dance in the rain and soaks up her tears too.
He reads fairy-tales to her and thoughtfully listens to her woes.
His laughs with his daughter are the heartiest and he stands by her side when the days are blue.
He plays all the roles and he plays them well.

Yeah, thank God for dads!
Thank God for Deadda! (My father is my Deadda)

Deadda is my hero and I am his ‘Darling Cherub'! Almost every morning, he places a kiss on my forehead and  envelopes my day in a pleasant sunshine. It never gets cloudy here, for the routine has never seen a pause. Not a long one. I pray, it never does.

Without you, what would I do!

Happy fathers’ day, Deadda <3

Jaz'rah

My niece,  Jaz'rah Jahangir Makhdoomi was born on December 5, 2014 at 7:33 in the evening. She was brought out of the operation theatre around 8:00 pm and her cradle looked tiny in front of the oxygen cylinder supporting her respiration. Jaz'rah, at the time of her birth was sick. However , when I first looked at her, I saw a twinkle in her eyes that promised life. Her eyes were gleaming and the sparkle was that of a fighter, the sparkle that spoke of survival. I knew she'll fight and she'll live. Jaz'rah, less of a princess and more of a warrior , gave us the hope that she'll make it to our arms. Half an hour after her birth, she was shifted from Modern Hospital to G.B.Pant Children's Hospital and she remained on the life-support for one week in the NICU and for the other week she recupirated in Ward nos 8 and 9. She fought for her life for 15 days; too long a period for a newborn. I would visit her everyday and the twinkle in her eyes never disappointed ...

Kañijung-Kañijung

August 25, 2019 Dull sunny afternoon Kashmir I was barely making it through the 20th day of curfew when a riotous noise in my neighborhood dragged me to the rear window of my room this morning. I saw a cheerful group of 10-12 children, shouting and screaming a plot to each other and I settled myself by the sill and cupped my face in my hands. They were carrying sticks and handkerchiefs in their tiny hands and I could easily comprehend the nature of the upcoming theatrics. After all, what else could the childhood of conflict ridden children look like, even if it unfolds itself in the poetic countryside set up! Freckled, light-haired members of one sub-group held their ‘pellet-guns’, they had beforehand crafted out of aged sun-dried sticks, with a great deal of expertise in their hands and equally freckled and light-haired children of the other sub-group hastily tied their handkerchiefs around their faces. The speed at which all of them prepared themselves was a hint enoug...
