To cage one's own heart willingly...

I hear a kind of sorrow in that idea, someone so attuned to others that they disappear from their own care. Here’s a poem around that feeling: There lives a soul who reads the ache In trembling smiles that others fake, Who hears the grief in laughter’s sound, And kneels where silent wounds are found. A keeper of unspoken fears, A witness soft to hidden tears, They gather storms from weary skies And hold them gently, asking, “Why?” How strange, how pitiful the art, To know each fracture of a heart, Yet turn no lantern to one’s own, And make of sorrow flesh and bone. For they will calm another’s sea, Whilst drowning where none care to see; Will stitch the wounds on stranger’s skin, Yet leave their own to ache within. They understand too much, perhaps, The grief between affection’s gaps, The trembling guilt, the sharpened shame, The quiet hurt with no true name. And so they bend, and so they stay, To light the dark in others’ way; Till kindness, noble though it seems, Consumes the keeper ...

LOCKDOWN EXTENDED TILL 29th OF MAY...

-
The Telangana government on Tuesday extended the state-wide lockdown till May 29 with  Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao stating that the night curfew from 7 pm to 6 am will remain in the state.

Speaking to reporters at Pragathi Bhavan in Hyderabad, the Chief Minister said that the capital was continuing to report cases each day and that extending the lockdown was the only way to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.

Noting that the three districts that constitute Hyderabad — Hyderabad, Medchal-Malkajgiri, Ranga Reddy — had a high number of cases, KCR said, "We cannot compromise here and take any risks. 66% of all cases are from the limits of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) only. 25 of the total 29 deaths are also from here." "People here should cooperate with us. There is a chance for community spread. We are worried," he added.

The Chief Minister said that people aged above 65 and young children have been asked to stay indoors until the lockdown period ended, as they are more vulnerable to being infected.

The state government said that despite the Centre's orders, shops will not open in red zones in the state. This would include liquor stores, which have opened up in many parts of the country. "We will not open any shops in the red zones. We will continue with shops providing essential services as it is. Some exemptions will be made for electrical, hardware and cement shops, which can remain open," KCR said. "People in Hyderabad may be upset with me, but I have no other choice. We will observe the situation till May 15 and take a call on our future course of action," he added.

KCR said that except for the six red zones, shops can open in the rest of the state. In rural areas, shops can re-open as per normal from the mandal headquarters down to the village.

In municipalities, shops will not be allowed to open as physical distancing will be difficult to maintain. Here, only 50% shops will be opened.

For when you trust His perfect decree...

-
Leave behind what’s meant to fade, Trust the plans Allah has already made. For every tear that stained your night, He’s written ease, He’s written light. Don’t chain your heart to what is gone, Your Lord has better to pass upon. In every loss, a mercy lies, In every fall, your soul can rise. What’s written left was never yours, What’s coming next holds open doors. Have sabr today, let your قلب believe, For what’s ahead will never deceive. The past is gone, don’t let it stay, It steals your peace, it clouds your way. Turn to your Rabb with hope so true, What’s yet to come is خير for you. You lost something? Then let it be, Your Lord replaces beautifully. For every ache your heart once knew, A better plan is made for you. Let go, move on, don’t look behind, True peace is in a trusting mind. For when you trust His perfect decree, Your future blooms in serenity.🌙

For what is coming toward you is softer...

-
What slipped away was only a chapter, not the story meant for you. For every goodbye you held in tears, a better hello is already on its way. Do not grieve what faded into yesterday, for tomorrow carries gentler light. What’s written ahead of you is kinder than what stayed behind. The past may echo with what you lost, but the future whispers with what you’ll gain. And in those quiet whispers, there is a promise of something better. Every ending you cried over was mercy you didn’t yet understand. For what is coming toward you is softer, sweeter, and meant to stay. You didn’t lose it, you were being led somewhere better. Because what’s written for you ahead outshines everything left behind.

You deserve someone who doesn't just keep you...

Being kept around and being fully chosen are two very different things.  One feels like waiting in the background of someone’s life, the other feels like being the reason they show up. Being kept is convenience , answered when it’s easy, remembered when it’s lonely. But being chosen is intention, consistent, certain, and proud. You won’t have to question where you stand, when someone truly chooses you. There is no confusion in genuine care. So don’t settle for almost, for sometimes, for “when it suits them.” You deserve someone who doesn’t just keep you, but claims you with clarity, with effort, with their whole heart. Because love should never feel like you’re waiting to be picked.
