White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-133 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY WOMANHOOD, A BLISS I am not the selfish arrogant 'I' I am not the independent egoistic 'I' I am not an island in myself But an interdependent loving and reciprocating 'I' an ocean of unlimited joy and bliss, a mother to many including the man I love And his father who sees his mother in me. A mother, a sister, a daughter, a daughter in law, a wife and beloved I am, complete in every respect, do equal justice to all my roles, true to myself and others. Completely lost in my family, lost my identity only to become the mistress of it with a much bigger identity. My womanhood never rests on selfish interests and possessive individualism It is firmly entrenched on love, appreciation and an understanding of each other's needs, emotions and feelings I can't afford to be selfish On me, on my love and sacrifice stands my family. I am the mainstay, the pivot around which revolves family and other institutions of society. I am the voice that gives it meaning and identity But for me, the family is a family I am that human touch that makes my family so beautiful Or else it is an assemblage of selfish interests, a solitary asylum in a noman's land. I love my family, my family loves me What more do I need? Smruti Ranjan Mohanty ©Smruti Ranjan Mohanty

White ଚନ୍ଦ୍ରରେ ଵା ମଙ୍ଗଳରେ ଵା ଧରଣୀରେ , ସ୍ବର୍ଗରେ, ନର୍କରେ ଵି ଯେଉଁଠି ରହିଲେ ବି, ନିଜେ ଶାନ୍ତିରେ ନ ଥିଲେ, ତମ ନିକଟତମ ପଡିଶା ସହ ସଂପୃକ୍ତି ନଥିଲେ, ସାରା ଵିଶ୍ବରେ କେଉଁଠି ଵି ନଥାଏ ଶାନ୍ତି। SOMETHING I LOOK AT-132 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY PEACE AND BLISS May be on Moon or Mars, Jupiter or Earth, it hardly matters where you are, heaven or hell, no peace, until you are at peace with yourself with your immediate neighbour and the rest of the word. No peace until you realise, you need it more for yourself than anyone else. No peace, till nations realise peace is the first condition of development without which, life on earth is at stake. Enough nuclear warheads you have, to destroy the world many times. Why do you need more? Of what use this arms race that keeps each on their toes and let them live in perpetual terror, in constant fear of each other. Enough fortune, pelf, power and recognition you have Of what use they are if one is constantly at war with himself More happy is a contented man than a rich possessive individual, whose thirst and hunger, nothing can satisfy. Contentment is the gateway to heaven and peace opens it for one to enter into the kingdom of bliss and happiness. At the end of the day what do you need? It is peace and nothing else If you have it you are the king of what you see If you don't have it In the midst of plenty and power you are just a big nothing.
