The Author pushpee as she calls herself is blogger, writer and fund raiser.She have published 2 books on computers for kids, a set of 24 modules on mathematics for pre-school and an inspiration story in 'Chicken soup for Indian souls' .She is also a team member for quarterly magazine called 'Beyond Sindh' and also a committee member and hon.member on board of trustees for 'Swami Brahmamand Pratishthan, centre for mentally challenged', CBD, Belapur.The below poem revolves around Adam and Eve and how they were allured to eat the forbidden fruit
Adam and Eve in Paradise
With her eyes closed Eve lay
Draped around her innocent heart
The magic of garden soothing her soul
Happy and in a Nirvana poise
She heard the swishing of the winds
The buzzing and whizzing of the bees
She heard the soft footsteps of Adam
As he walked and quietly laid by her side
The smooth skin of apple touched her skin
As Adam playfully rolled over her shin
“Taste it! Feel its sweetness” he said
Knowing in his heart to be a forbidden fruit
“No” said she and crumbled up her nose
Then turned her body to other side
But Adam, obstinate, disobedient lad
Forced his wishes, till she relent
Condemning all humankind pact
Unmindful that the world would end
And so the story, as is told
It was Adam that seduced Eve to crime
Or else they would still be living in paradise
