Bee Zoo Bee

It was eight in the morning
The sun was shining
Little Bee-Zoo-Bee was packing
It was his first assignment in collecting


Queen bee called him last night
Gave him a certificate of bright white
He was appointed under a special knight
For his appraisable skill at sight and might

Little Bee-Zoo-Bee was kissed by his mother
And was hugged by his proud father
There is nothing left for them to bother
They stared at the happy pair as he left along with his brother

In the main hall all the worker bees gathered
As the siren rang together they dispersed
Where was his brother? Bee Zoo wondered
“Follow me Bee Zoo Bee”, master bee thundered

Bee zoo followed his master to the north east
Master was an expert in treating his trainees to a feast
They landed on the garden of a priest
It was a heaven on earth but for a barking beast

Bee zoo followed master in sucking the honey
He observed how his brave army looked so tiny
He sucked one two three and became cranny
He wondered how everyone could suck so many

“Run back to the hive Bee Zoo”, master cried
He instantly knew that if he did not he died
Within no time he was buzzing in the path they trailed
His hive was nearing as he felt his trail subside

He tried his best to recall his classes
No, this was something out of the prescribed courses
Come on Bee Zoo he adjusted his glasses
But all he could witness was complex signal traces

He prayed for his crew to return
The team would know if they lost one of their brethren
The jammed signals meant only one thing, “Run”
What if the hive was under destruction?

“Oh Bee Zoo what can you do?
You can neither turn nor move”
The signals built a complicated groove
He could neither yell nor roove 

Slowly Bee Zoo felt the nectar take effect
His wings lost them rhyming effect
He felt his heart beat under defect
He knew the ending was not perfect

As Bee Zoo held his arms to his choking throat
He studied the signal that struck his heart
It was a telephone signal that connected the globe
Killing the unborn much before they tighten their first robe

Much before the signal reaches its other end
Bee Zoo knew his life would end
“We are the future”, he decoded the message
He smiled at the ignorant humans who would soon follow his passage.

Open Letter 2

Dear Society, How are you? I hope this letter finds you in jest and jubilation. I am not sure about your mood but I was in real jubilation when I went to a hospital last week to confirm my pregnancy status. You should have seen the hospital with its looks nothing short of a corporate office. I have seen those grand hoardings quite a number of times, but one got to enter those buildings to get the real feel of it. The hospital that I visited is completely dedicated to mother and child care. It struck me unusual that such a huge building with its innumerable staff exists only to serve mothers and their children. The next time someone tells me women are not given respect in our country, I will take them to visit my hospital. One tour around those multiple stories would make even a radical feminist to concede that we do respect our women. Well, at least until they see those countless boards claiming that sex-determination tests are not done in their hospitals. Those boards are anywhere and...

THE STORY HIDING BEHIND THE AGITATION OF THE YOUTH AGAINST LAW

“Justice has been done finally”. “Nirbhaya has won”. “Justice still lives in the country”. The morning of 13 th September, 2013 echoed with such statements from the elite society soon after the four convicts of the Delhi Gang Rape Case were awarded death punishment. Media started covering the faces of the four convicts with black masks and hung them in their news bulletins once in every hour.

Open Letter - 20

Dear society, How are you? I am fine and I hope this letter finds you safe and indoors. It might sound funny but this introductory seems so appropriate to our girls who are always expected to stay safe and indoors. Now that the situation has changed, their sole slogan is now being shared by all, “Stay home, Stay safe”, however with a slight modification. Our men are trying to stay home and stay safe while are women are being forced to stay home forever and keep their families safe. Last week, I had a conversation with an old aunt of mine and trust me, the first thing she asked me was if I had not quit my job yet. I was wonder-struck at her question. Firstly, I thought she meant if I had not applied for a maternity leave already but in no time she made it clear to me that it is better if I quit my job as soon as possible. When asked why she felt so, she said work for women is a luxury that can be forgone when time demands. That is why thousands of our girls quit job every year to mov...
