Freedom. 1947. Gratitude.


Beaten 
Bruised

Their bodies bled

Clad in patriotism
With eternal spirit
Fought 
Flow of hatred
Had hearts of a lion
Gave blood for the Bharat
That is what it took for 
The freedom
To be in our hands

Happy Independence Day Folks!

When things get tough
Don't be girly
When up against trouble,
Meet it squarely, 
Burst the bubble;
Set the shoulders,
Plant your feet,
Take a brace,
And that's how & when,
I remember a Guru's face.

Day by day; years get lost
Make a life, strive
Use it wise to survive

Art to live just one thing,
Do the good that I seek.

What Is My Worth?

That question— "what is my worth?" —is one of the most painful and sacred ones a human heart can ask. And it usually arises not fr...
