control your eyes

they blame her clothes. 

why don't they control their eyes 

Cashiers

Cashiers are  very important  for every Supper Market , Shopping Center,Shop,Resturant,Hyper-Markets etc. 

Every profession has it's own challenge,as every job cashiers job too  has its own challenges,

Cashier is a person who must  always be mentally  prepared to deal with all kind of customers.

Most of the time we can notice that most of the hypermarket here are crowed everyday but the crowd gets almost double during weekends public holidays sale and promotion's.

Most of this cute and handsome cashier can be seen wearing a smile and wishing the customer with a warm welcome in many hypermarkets, but have you ever notice the pain behind their smile this cashier in many hypermarkets do straight duty of eight hour they stands on their feet  for 8 long hours because their  management have not provide them with a chair.

I have spoken to many of them and whenever, I have asked them they just smile and said who cares about us it's our duty and we must do it.

We are all  busy in buying our stuff. And we just need a quick Clearnace from the cashier with a warm smile 

so that we can go back to our home's and rest.

I hope that one day every cashier will be provided with a chair.

we are humans

You can't live without us 

But still you don't respect me.

Sometimes You blame us for the things 

we don't do and yet 

we care about you.

From the day

You were born

For some until then 

They end up their life.

You can't live without us,

We are the one who make 

your life peaceful.

Imagine a lonely day 

without us in your life.

We know you've paid 

enough for us 

But you don't realize,

we have sold our dreams 

houses to reach here.

There are some houses who treat us well, but most of them had made our Life as hell.

We work like machine,

No time to rest 

But you have never even

appreciate that.

No holidays or festival's

I can celebrate.

You all laugh on my innocence 

But think for once, you can't even tolerate what I've suffered here day by day.

You're houses are blessed with food that's why you don't know what starvation means.

Day by day you want us to work harder, and yet the he more We work the more you want.

The amount you spend in hours 

is our whole month salary,but you have you ever thought of increasing  our salaries. 

Not only us but there is one more, slave like us.. who is known as sayak (driver)

You shout at us when you hear 

your children cry,

But never thought of wiping

Off our tears, which fall every night.

You become sick if you have a headache,but if we're 

sick you never felt it that way. 

One thing you have 

always forgotten, 

We aren't robot but we're just a human being,even a robot's need to charge their batteries. 

We sleep when everyone in the house go to sleep,

But you allow us to sleep like the way the chicken sleep,

But we appreciate always what you have done for us.

If you hear my family member is sick,or passed  away you think it's a lie.because you think we're making an excuse to travel,we here to work and that what we do.

You insult me in front of a small child but most of the time I see them misbehaving with you. 

There are some people 

among you all 

Who still fear from God.

They treat us like a family,

But most of you don't care.

Your fridge's are full of food 

But for us it's like a locker. 

Because you always keep them lock.

Treat us good 

Thats what we want. 

Give us respect just 

as a  human being.

We are maids 

Not your property. 

We need a peaceful life too. 

We are here to work 

That's what we've come to do.

We don't complain 

Because no one's 

there to hear us say. 

That's why I thought of writing 

In my own word's this poem to you.

Bitter truth

Everybody wants to become rich and popular. It's the dream of every common man to earn more than what he earns today! Although most hope to make their fortune in their own countries, others think of trying their luck overseas without fully understanding the risks involved in operating in an unknown and completely different environment.

Working in the Gulf is still a dream of millions. A large number of people arrive on the shores of the Gulf countries without knowing the grim realities of what awaits them. A majority of people that arrive to work in the Gulf work in various capacities in companies. Some end up working as  tea boys, some as drivers/cleaners while others end up as  mechanics and other minor jobs in order to make ends meet. A small room accommodating more people than it can take ends up as their 'homes.' They live a hard life just so that they can give a comfortable life to their families back home, Some get trapped with visa traders and half their annual income goes into paying for their residence permts while the other half is spent on supporting  their families and themselves. The strong ones survive while the weak ones break down.

All these people are very important in everyone's lives. Without them, its almost impossible for the general population to live a comfortable life. However, unfortunately, these hardworking and honest people are called labourers and treated in a different manner compared to a banker or a trader.

I'm your little girl

I'm a your little girl 

Let me smile, let me laugh

Let me enjoy my age 

I want freedom like my brother 

Let me smile let me laugh 

I promise I won't cross my limits 

I was your little girl dad 

But from the time teen is add to my age, 

I feel I'm treated in a different way,

I want to live my life with you forever 

Don't treat me in different way,

You said there is nothing wrong talking to boys 

But you give me a strange look when you see with them 

You said I was your little angel 

I also want to be treated the same 

 

I know I can't be your son 

But I promise you I will be always there 

Let me smile, let me laugh 

Because I'm your little girl till today
