61 years have gone by
August 15, 2008 § 17 Comments
sixty one years gone by-
an year older at midnight,
as a nation,one step forward,
as a nation,we fought our way-
out of depression and suppression.
Another year just flew by,
the year’s wealth and health
is now embedded for the future,
and will be carried by time and tide.
A country of immense knowledge
and a country of saying and adage-
People of action fight and live;
war,hunger,religion,caste,region-still,
the breath of nation is it’s people’s will.
The vast lands,might have been parched,
the rivers might have run dried,
the “development” might have killed
the needed balance,to sustain development,
but we can still replant ,with our determination.
The past’s glory and a vibrant culture,
the back bones which makes our state better.
To the world we now give,
and to the world we no more are darkness.
factories and roads compete,
and our businesses reap.
sixty one years of freedom,
which has been fueled by martyrdom
and the ancient wisdom.
Yet a new need has risen,
when we the people,
have to join hands,
to unite and face ourselves,
for the time has come,
when those elected by the people,
exploit the people.Time has come
to reach out and destroy
all that is not needed and imbibe,
the good of the past and the better
of the present,for the sake of the future.
The time has come to light
the lamp,of passion and inspiration.
Until everyone does his or her bit,
until we stop war and shake hands and sit,
we will again again go down the pit.
We need to be untied,
as a people and as a nation,
not just for the country,
but for the sake of whole of humanity.
It might sound impossible,
for differences cause rebels-
so what?
let us live and let live
and forgive.to do that
first know your self
and learn to think and act
for yourself.
A nation is made of people,
and as the pillars of a nation,
we need to first indulge in contemplation,
once done,
our true progress will begin.
So let us join hands
and cause the change,
let us walk together,
to make our nation and world better.
jai Hind!

[…] I can, we can talk about all that and much more. That’s what defines India. India- a name which inspires, a name which nationalizes, a name which dominates, a name which Induces, the symbol of alacrity, a name which we salute and which we will unmute, through our flute, the power of youth. Symbolism synchronising dances, The cheerful voices with faith, All in respect of the omni present. Like the lotus blooming at the sun, Every heart sensing the riches and love Of our evergreen culture. The will To work at the highest zenith, powered By the songs of everness; to protect Her, the daring protectors; to connect The super natural to the mortals, the Men of prayers; to richen her wealth The sellers; welcome aliens to the Land of nirvana and peace. Giving’s personification, the power of will, Theories existing’s discovery minds. Harnessing the universe, building life, Creator’s homeland, the lap of luxury, A man’s dream place of birth. The power of unknown’s life Enfolded in you, pride of our Mother, India Bharata gauravaya namaha. A nation is made of people, and as the pillars of a nation, we need to first indulge in contemplatio… […]
