Grinding stone, Arundathi and she.

With burden of a big family,
I am being ground like ,
The masala on a grinding stone.
Even my small and tine wishes ,
Are really far , far and far away,
Like the Arundathi star in the sky.
Perhaps we all enter the married life,
Only because of these facts,
After stepping on the grinding stone,
And seeing the far off star , Arundathi.
Thoughts of a 79 year old retired Indian scientist , who is an astrologer, a translator of prayers and poems and a story teller to children.
