On a beautiful summers day
In the heaven on earth
The sounds lay heavy
The air filled with fear
Innocent blood had been split
The cries of families ring around
A valley shattered
A nation watching
Bracing itself
Waiting for the news
Of sending the perpetrators
To its makers
Only then is it revenge
Or shall we burn
Another place this time
Like our gods did
To remind and take revenge

Many years ago
My head was full of dreams
One dream was to hum
A tune
For a Sky full of Stars
In the presence of the stars

As the Clocks turned
And memories turned Yellow
Came a call from the Universe
For the Adventure of a Lifetime
To bask in the Everglow

And yes they Fixed Us
And took us to the Paradise beyond
An Adventure of a Lifetime
A Head full of Dreams

As our Planet completes
1 revolution around the sun
2024 turns to 2025
As a new generation beckons
A lot has transpired in these 5 years
Times changed things changed

This year was a year of greatfullness
Of completion
Of celebration
Of discovery
Let us hope
That this new year
Will be more bountiful
More abundant

To a year of cheers and joy
Happy New Year

There was once a day
When a billion hearts
were shattered
The voices silenced

But then there was
A team
Eleven souls
Who repaired
Those shattered hearts
Gave the voice back
And made them beat again

Eleven souls who kept hold
Of a Billion dreams
And made them shine
Crossing the victory line

The Eleven transcend to gods
For giving hope
To a Billion dreams

What an year
2023 has been
A year of learning
A year of growth
A year of bonds

From seeing losses
To new beginnings
A fast paced year
That went blinding fast
A year of looking
Forward to each day

Let's hope 2024
Brings more success
More beginnings
And more sweet memories
New experiences
And more times
To look forward to

New developments
And celebrations galore
A happy new year
To one and all

The rain clouds are gathering
The shops are abuzz
The cities shine bright
The layouts are changing

The hectic pace slows
As everyone gets into the flow
The one time of the year
That magic unfolds

With bathed breaths
People await
The smell of incense
The cacophony of sounds
Streets thronging past midnight
Reflections of themes galore

Durga Puja is here
Maa Durga has arrived

What is Independence?
Is it freedom to do anything
At your own will
Is it a frame of mind
Of each individual

Or is it being free of oppression
Being in the right
Being on the side of humanity
Of being empathetic
Being sympathetic

Being in harmony
Looking for the collective good
Developing ourselves
Being a role model society

As we celebrate our 76th Tryst
What is the destiny
We are bound to

As we look at our flag
Hovering at every home
Flying proudly
We must think
What is Independence?
What is our destiny?
Can we make it a better place?

Sometimes we meet Angels
That we come to know
Who have been in our lives
Making an impact
Even before we were born

They encourage us in sad times
Are happiest in our success
And celebrate hardest in our celebrations
All of this becomes a memory

One day when they are called
Back to God's cradle
Because He needs his favourite child
To tell him how the world is
To prepare for your next life

They leave us with small memories
Which last us a lifetime
Farewell Angel, we'll meet
In another lifetime

-

Another year
Another revolution around the sun
0.00000000004 of a Galactic year

But an year of learning
An year of lesson
An year of self realisation
An year of successes
An year losses as well

The new year
That of expansion
That of new possibilities
Of new innovations
Of shaking the foundations
An year of hope
Hope from the scared world
To stand up and roar

Happy New Year💗

Crossing the turbulent skies
the pressure cookers
the mundane routine

In the tropical paradise
meet 5 knights
Different in aspects
different in characters
United by a cause
United by one string

For the adventures
they went on
Crossed jungles, skies
Oceans and mountains

United by a single cause
To break the routine
To break the mundane
And contemplate and
Make the world a sane place

The knights last snips
Were spent on the white islands
Where they took a breath
Regained strength
To resume the journey soon

Back to the turbulence
Back to the cookers
With a promise to continue
The adventures
Whenever the calling comes
