41. Connection

 *Connection*

Being a bright student in my college 

I thought it's best to opt for CA this age

Clearing my entrance level and intermediate was smooth flow 

But repeated failures in CA finals kept me constantly low 

Apart from Articleship I didn't have any experience in work 

Having to eat homemade food from mom was my only perk 

My qualification has been somewhere in between which didn't fetch me job 

After marriage too I kept trying for work but would only sob 

I wanted to experience how working outside felt like to be free

I kept on giving interviews and finally Big 4 happened to me 

I love my work very much 

I am ever grateful to workday each 

Being a working lady in addition to being homemaker made me so much in peace 

I imagined how my earnings would support me in future expenses and kids fees 

My connection with my work is so pure 

That each day I work with honestly and dedication to ensure 

That the food I eat is from god's grace 

I value it and content never in any race 

Today my manager broke this news strange

That I am no longer required for my work range 

My connection with my work is so deep 

And this thought just made me fall emotionally so steep 

Each moment of my work reflected like a movie old 

How I took notes , participated actively, learnt all tasks like Gold 

I then come to know about my colleague see

For few of my peers I was just a conversation over a cup of tea 

This connection with my work gave me a sense of joy at row 

My relatives who always mocked me as a failure ,saw me grow 

My mother left the world last year 

And when I sensed this fear 

She told me that bird never on branch rely 

It believes in it's ability to fly 

This work I got from my hard work and not any reference 

This means I have ability to restart again and not be in fence 

It's difficult to see my connection going away from me 

Till I have life I should learn to cope up and live 

And have faith in God and in my abilities I should believe 

What we sow ,so shall we reap 

If anyone does wrong to others they will get the karma sweep 

I should just focus on believing in self and my connection with God deep 

Miles to go before I sleep !!!

Gir gayi hoon toh uthegi , seekegi seekhayegi 

Gomati ki beti Kuch Kar dikhaayegi!!!

Marvellous❤️

Beautiful piece of creativity with a message ❤️

Short and meaningful story showed its impact on connection in positive way. Connection gives us happiness, joy, and support. The wonderful ending with the mother's advice about the bird's ability to fly is a powerful metaphor for resilience and self-reliance. It emphasized that one must have faith in their ability to overcome any obstacle to find success in new opportunities❤️

Keep penning 

Keep rocking ❤️
