Starting A New Business? 7 Key Points To Keep In Mind.
Poem: Disguised Motherhood. A young poet writes about the grief of losing her mother. She remembers how her mother's life was when poet was a child.
I stepped into a graveyard of a woman last night, The woman who once picked out lice from my scalp on every Thursday’s for she knew that was the most opulence service her child would be able to afford.
The woman who was alone in the same frame for her drunk husband who touches other woman more than her. The woman who left her permanent footprints within a temporary world over her gravestone, her daughter’s heart. Is not any more.
I remember. As a little child how I used to bite down the dust and chewed the threads of the torn dupatta of her silenced moans and snivelled screams.
And I withered roses in their crypts screeched out to the celibate women, who danced in circles until the shadow of the gloomy- old trees fell upon their gowns.
I do not understand how I am supposed to write about love when my mother didn’t receive any? Do mothers have a place where they can scream? Who was remembered for her existence for nothing but the kitchen tea.
For the living room to be eyed and bathrooms to be clean of every house member. My mother, who always tells me how I must never stray away from her in crowds for she has already suffered consequences of strangers. Is not any more.
I paint my mother better in my pieces than I wish her to be. But then again, are my wishes any saner than a drunkard’s greedy moustache which drinks more beer than what reaches his mouth? Even when I did kill the bird who sang me to sleep, you wouldn’t paint me as a villain, for I would still be a bipolar for you.
I step down the cemetery Of my mother who abandoned heels to not look taller than my father, who was one-fourth the woman she could be and three-fourths the woman she had to be.
While I excavated years of generational expectations from in-between her vertebrae, a frail framework of brittle bones and tattered tissues.

Every one has entrepreneurial ideas, don’t we? Mine was to open an organization that hosted events wherein kids from orphanages and elderlies from old-age homes were brought together.
It was unique, at least that is what my professor told me. But the amount of money as capital made it a distant dream. Sigh! But are there any ventures which need little money? Can we start our entrepreneurial journey with just ₹10000?
