Harbor: A Haiku...!!!



Hunter waits
for harbored seals; who
will harbor?

Written for: Haiku-Heights(part of The April Heights Month)

PS: The increase in hunting of Seals have made them reach the point of extinction...and if its not reduced...then no wonder they might be extinct in the near future... :(

PS: Can anyone provide secure shelter to them...??? Can anyone HARBOR them...??? :O

    sooo deep... soo important..
    while there might not be strict actions agaist these cruel acts,
    we could hope there would be some, soon.
    you started this in words,
    someday, i hope, we should hope,
    it turns into action.

    excellent haiku Sarab.. :)

    Well thought and written haiku. There are people who depend on seals for food though, these are the Inuit. It is difficult to separate the necessity for food from the greed of the fur trade.

    So sad :( Even there is *so called* law to control the number of animals and species that can be killed.. but it is still uncontrollable due to illegal hunting.. People are so greedy! And what about abused animals / pets? How can people be so cruel and selfish? We are suppose to protect them!
    Just hope for the best for ALL (animals). Where hope grows, miracles blossom..

    p/s: Since your blog and your haiku are my new fav, I've given you an award.. Visit my blog and check it out! ;)

The Unposted Letters..!!

Image
  When the mind sways, And when the same feelings this heart portrays, And when pot is also not left with enough ink, so when the quill says, Words on the parchment feel like a cheap fabric that frays. So many lines fumbled, So many feelings got crumbled, Like someone feels when they get ghosted, Those letters, in the drawer, always remained unposted. PS: Most of my posts are late night musings. Either way, the letter posted or not, the things I write reach this online platform or not, it feels good to scribble down random words once in a while.

A Long and A Lone Run.. Few thoughts..!!

Image
Covid-19 has got to the nerves of everyone, someway or the other. However, there is one thing that has helped me maintain my sanity is endurance sports, like long runs and long bike rides. There are days, when I've started doing my own mini-duathlon (say 20-30km bike ride followed by 10k run). This might sound awkward to many, but there are few who will be okay with me doing this. Despite all this, even with so much physical activity, I've never attempted a half marathon alone. All my 14 half-marathons have been in some event or the other. Maximum distance I've covered alone, I guess, will be around 17-18km at a stretch. So to give it a try, last weekend, I thought of attempting a half marathon. All alone. I made this decision pretty late I guess, as weekend was almost over. Yup, it was just another usual Sunday evening (there wasn't anything special gonna happen while everyone is stuck in the lockdown). I geared up and went down for a run. However, with Corona around t...

My Reminiscences of 2020..!!

Image
  " A marathon takes roughly 45,000 steps to complete. No matter how joyous, repetitive, monotonous or painful each step may be, it takes every one of those steps to reach the distance of 42.195 km. The marathon doesn’t care if a single step was powerful, weak, short, long or devoid of energy. The marathon is incomplete if even one step is missing. Every step taken, regardless of how reluctant, tired, energetic or lackluster it may be, cannot be retaken or repeated as the same version of oneself from that instance.  Every step counts. Similarly, an average person will live to 80 years of age, which is 4,160 weeks or 29,200 days. No matter how joyous, repetitive, monotonous or painful each day may be, it takes every one of those days to complete one’s life. Life doesn’t care if a single day was bad, sad, happy, productive or lazy. End of one’s life cannot be reached if even one day is missing. Every day lived, regardless of how disconnected, absent, lost, unfulfilled, unhappy, ...
