ਚੜ੍ਹਦੀ ਕਲਾ
Chardi Kala
You hear it in prayer halls where voices lower instead of rise. In kitchens where bad news is met with steady hands. In sentences that do not promise ease, only movement.
This is resilience without performance. Forward motion when the ground is uneven. A commitment to dignity even when the outcome is unknown.
Chardi Kala does not deny pain. It refuses to let pain decide the direction.
It is carried, not announced. Practiced, not posted. Stitched into everyday life quietly, repeatedly, without applause.
To wear this word is not to declare strength. It is to remember where strength comes from.
