Where are those eyes

where are those eyes
never imagined the future which
blind to the imperfections around
unbound joy twinkled where

cried when the rain melted his mud house
laughed when a dog ate his report card
grief was a stranger to whom
whose desires ended at an ice cream

everything a possibility who saw
imagination was whose cosmos
guarded whom a colorful fort of bliss
intentions softer than the snow were whose

never wanted flowers and fairies his paradise
only someone with those same eyes
which dreamed alike
and smiled together

I am India

I am India
I was known as a mystic land
I was known as the 'Golden bird'
I was known as the the 'Universal teacher'

I am India
I have changed my boundaries many times
I had wise men in my cradle
I had mighty sons of the past

I am India
My children were lost for sometime
My chastity was stained time and again
My ascent was in chains for long

I am India
I freed myself once again
I started my journey once again
I made them hear my loud footsteps

I am India
My children are stronger yet again
My veins have new blood
My spirit is soaring once more

I am india
I will not stop come what may
I have faith in my children
I know what they are made of

I am India
You will hear more about me
You will see more of me
You will know the teacher once again

I am India

Being me

I adore my life

I have no points to loose in a share market

Nor do i suck-up to my boss for a promotion

Only a few hungry faces waiting back.

I adore my life

I cannot complain of being taken for granted

Nor is waking up early morning a tough task for me

Thanks to my pain from the last evening.

I adore my life

I do not have to face any break-ups

Nor do I know of any mind games that you all play

The one i love, loves all that i earn.

I adore my life

I do not have to pretend a fake laugh many times

Nor do the vanity talks of pretty faces interests me

My beauty and happiness lies in my kids' full stomach.

I adore my life

I do not get depressed for not being ahead always

Nor do i get intimidated of someone making it big

There is hardly any competition for me.

I adore my life

I do not have to compromise my self-respect

Nor do i need to worry about any guilts

For i know, God must be in shame looking at me.

Gudnyt J!

Happyness

In the Mother's eyes

on seeing her child

In the Farmer's pride

on seeing his harvest

In the Teacher's glory

on seeing his disciple pass ahead

In the Musician's soul

on seeing his instrument

In the Mountaineer's veins

on seeing the peak

In the Warrior's honour

on seeing his nation's flag high

In the Leader's dignity

on seeing his team succeed

In the Winner's self respect

on seeing his pains pay-off

In the Lover's heart and his tears

on seeing a lost beloved
