World Poetry Day 2021 – Celebrating Womanhood

By -

 World Poetry Day is celebrated on the 21st of March every year. To commemorate this event, I will be dedicating it to the celebration of womanhood and I will be posting three poems by three women.


Poem 1 

WO (nder) MAN


'It's half filled, not half empty' she clamours

_exhibiting a raging compassion and affinity


Here,

Read on the peculiarities of a darling race!


Whilst her feeble shoulders shudders from overwhelming duties

Her alluring smile is so handy with no haughty gaze 


And with swaying hips

And with savoring lips


Like some good news resounding clips

Like some good books' pages flips


Lustre_ity 

&

Human_ity


'Ooooze' from her like an oversprayed perfume

_chocking the repugnant 'ahhhs' depression wears around


The chambers of her heart are never shut and all stuffed with affection 


She's a remarkable being who's bright

Yes, an embodiment of love and light


She's a Wo (nder) man

Poem 2

"The Sufferer"


Baby Girl, born

Soft as a Feather,

Smile so Luminous,

Blessings for Parents.


Sweet Wants with cheerful Smile,

Aww! Daddy's love Reaching Awhile,

Wheezy Laugh from a Brother nearby,

Mumma! Beat the Madden Guy.


Aching Stomach the Next,

Pimples neighbouring Dimples,

Bleeding A child in pain, Cravings is must, make me Entertain.


She became a Woman,

Tracking heart's broken in pieces,

Words Unspoken from thesis,

Beaten till it ashes.


They poke To the figures,

Both For the "have's" and "don'ts",

They indulge in the hands of your Kindness,

Once broken, will Leave everyone Lifeless.


She A Gentlewoman!

Hello to the Career!

Cheers to the Unsolved papers

"Welcome to Save the Girl-child Program

How may i help you Ma'am"


"Stand for the Girl-child

Don't let The Society Bury them"


Prophet Muhammad said: 'He, who brought up two girls properly till they grew up, he and I would come (together) (very closely) on the Day of Resurrection, and he interlaced his fingers (for explaining the point of nearness between him and that person)'.


~Mubasshira Quraishi


Poem 3

Like a whole universe, the stars, the planets and the galaxies within you, are admired by all.


Her voice is soft, calm and loving. Her essence must have been made from tender clouds.


She was lightening, captivating yet silent.


Learn to water your roots, it’s the only way you will grow. Yearn to flutter your wings, it’s the only way you will fly.


Love, what you are is not roses or dandelions or tulips in a flower vase on the window seal. 

What you are, is the whole damn garden .


Wear your armor, pick up your weapon. Babe prepare for the war.


The spring has come for you. So why don’t you grow.

International Women’s Day 2023: “DigitALL: Innovation and Technology for Gender Equality”

  It is International women’s day and this year’s focus is on DigitALL: innovation and technology for gender equality. Currently, there exists a wide gender gap in the IT space and the reason is that, for years, women have beloved that technology was just for men. Given our history, this is actually a ridiculous ideology because the first programmer ever was a woman. A mathematician, Ada Lovelace created a programming code in the 1800s, and paved the way for computers today. In the 1900s, Hedy Lamarr, who doubled as an actress and inventor developed the technology that runs our GPS, Bluetooth Wi-Fi, as we know them now. There are a host of other incredible women in history who has been in the IT field yet a gender gap exists and women still think that sciences are solely for men. These limiting beliefs have cost us and have caused women to be excluded from innovations. As a result, many inventions that have been created haven’t been produced with women in mind. For example, when artifi

  Another Women’s World Cup is here again, starting on the 20th of July, 2023. Now that FIFA has decided to increase its allure and make more people fall in love with this category, we should see the effect of expanding the number of teams from 24 to 32 like the men’s category, and increasing the prize money from $30 million to $60 million. Co-host New Zealand will be slugging it out as the first match on the opening day with Norway at Eden Park in Australia, just after the opening ceremony at the same venue. The opening ceremony will feature two artists from both cohost nations performing the tournament’s theme song “Do It Again.” The second match on opening day will see Australia lock horns with Ireland at Stadium Australia in Australia. Captained by Ali Riley, New Zealand is entering the competition for the sixth time in its history, although they have been ever-present in the competition since 2007.

It was a nice experience to be a fellow of the Dalai Lama fellowship. The Dalai Lama Fellowship offers emerging leaders a rigorous, interdisciplinary program on ways to be a different kind of leader, a leader that connects and cares for self, extends genuine compassion to others, and works for the common humanity. Fellows cultivate practices in mind-training for increasing self-awareness, self-care and resilience, for connecting with others and working across differences, and in building solutions for generations to come. Over the course of the year, with the support of mentors and coaches, each fellow designs and implements an original field project addressing a global challenge. Upon graduation, fellows join a lifelong community, where they connect with and support each other while continuing to advance their leadership journeys. The program awards year-long Fellowships to next generation leaders that are working on social change projects in local communities to address one or more
