Being An Indian

-
In India I know I live
Colorful and vivid as it is
I am proud to breathe in it.

 Being an Indian 
It's my pride to 
Bend down and kiss the land
It's my spirit that
Makes me be rooted with our mother
And stay down to Earth

 Being an Indian
It's my prime moral
That touching a woman 
Is touching our mother Earth
And so it bears mountains of respect

 Being an Indian
It's a warning for you
An insult to our nation
Is a threat to your existence
That our hearts beat 
With thunderclaps and roars

 So we ring those bells at temple doors
To make the world hear 
The sound of our devotion

 Being an Indian 
There's a message for the world,
It's not the tone of our accent
But the truth of the words we speak 
That define me as
Being an Indian.

Jalebis and Flags

-

Its a bright sunny day. Everyone is dressed in formals. The sweet smell of jalebis dancing around in the air, rising from the corner stall. Children, with hair all tidied up and wrapped in white kurtas , running around with the tricolor flapping in their hands. You look around and you know what day it is- the day of the nation.  For me, this has been the oldest memory of the National Days as it must be for some others too. But this year, something's different. Much like those crisp and sugar-soaked jalebis,  the sense of freedom is a tad bit sweeter than the last time I remember.  26th January has always been the day of turning over a new page for our nation. New year, new face, new chapter and new hope. In the year 1950, this day gave us our Constitution, which entailed the freedom from the turmoil and mess that Britain had left behind. 71 years later, the year 2021, we are celebrating another such liberation, this time the freedom is from the mess that the pandemic left behind.

Her eyes...

Ever seen such eyes? So flawlessly curved Each shade of her gaze  Like the stroke of a painter's brush. Ever seen such eyes? Deep till the bottom of soul. Just one look and  You can't help fall  And drown in her ocean. Ever got lost in those eyes? Forgetting your Senses  When she blinks. Like million stars  Twinkling at once. Ever seen them cry? Like a broken mirror they seem.  Hurts to see those tears Roll down them cheeks. Ever felt so special? To be the one  Whom they stare. To catch them looking at ya And see them turn away Have you ever?  Cause I have, just once. And it's a bliss. And it would last a lifetime Or till there's light in my eyes. And stars in hers.

Adulting 101

Growing up is the one thing we all never realize. Inconspicuously, we all grow up, that is the truth. Physically, yes, but the most supposedly important thing, the world thinks, is growing up "Mentally". I have encountered this dialogue about million times in my lifetime - "Act your own age!". And i am sure there are many more who say, "Be an adult, dude" or "Know your limits at this age". Well, to all those people , I'd love to say," MY ASS". As a new blogger to this sight, I would love to start my journey by stating the shits that we all face during our most important phase- Adulting. As it is during this period that we all have not a single clue as to how to 'Act our own Age'. Recently, i have passed my Class XII Board Exams, by rather surprisingly quality marks, given the minor hard work i did in the four months prior to exams. And, as I move towards being a College-boy, i have discovered these 'contours'
