Sisterhood - The Indestructible Bond

 The Indestructible Bond  We were like Tom & Jerry Where fights & quarrels were in merry My pursuit was to enrage her While to scream in defense was her gear The childhood went by topsy-turvy  And it is euphoric currently in memory  The bond that gets better like wine Like the blood is thicker than water, is the line I reminisce the words of my granny When I rebuffed to give her more candy She will be the one to support you when in trouble As you both have the same blood which will rumble It's so bizarre tie for sure An endurance for life in pure The bond that made out of love by God Which we call an indestructible bond Now as we are far apart from one another Distance gives us reasons to love harder For sisterhood doesn't count miles It's measured by our hearts in smiles A very happy birthday to you my dear sissy Love and hugs Razbeena Rasheed

Kinds of Fathers: Some the Heroes, Others the Lesson

 Kinds of Fathers: Some the Heroes, Others the Lesson I recently came across a reel on Instagram. A daughter had shared a tender moment of her father, now a grandfather, embracing his grown son with deep affection. She captioned it: "Give them roots, then wings to fly, and silently pray they will come back to the nest." It stayed with me, a quiet reminder of what love looks like when it doesn’t demand anything in return. But not all stories are like this. A close friend told me about a relative — a wealthy father who mistreats his son for not providing him with luxuries. This, from a man who once denied his child love and care during the most formative years. That story stung. It compelled me to write - not out of judgment, but reflection. Because the truth is, not all fathers wear the same shoes. Some walk with quiet dignity, carrying their family forward without seeking applause. Others choose a different path — one marked by absence, entitlement, or silence, especially whe...
