Happy Independence Day!

 What does everyone tell you to be?

They tell you to be independent.

But if you aren't independent, what will you be?

No one likes being dependent. 


India was ruled by British, 

About 80 years ago.

And India never got the chance, 

To show that it belonged alone.


India is a strong country,

It fights wars with movements of peace.

But British decided to come take over,

Decided that we were timid and weak.


Peace is stronger than you might think,

Which is what drove the Britishers away.

Mahatma Gandhi's peace movement,

Showed India the way.


India does not fight any wars,

Yet India is strong.

India is well developed in peace,

It has shown mightiness all along.


On this day, we come together,

To celebrate the day India won independence.

Being an Indian is a thing to be proud of,

So come join in the celebrations!


Let us sing our national anthem,

Which is carried to far off places by the wind,

There is none as great as being able to say,

Jai Hind!

    Shriyan!! Very happy to see your love for our motherland! There’s a famous saying in Sanskrit which goes like this - ‘ जननी जन्मभूमिश्च स्वर्गादपि गरीयसी’ which translates to ‘Mother and Motherland are greater than Heaven itself!’
    India is truly a great country - a perfect amalgamation of culture and technology! We have a rich history and a richer future too!! It feels good to see that young kids as yourself realize the beauty and greatness of our nation. Your poem has portrayed the splendor of our country very aptly!! Very well written da pattu chelllammmm!! ❤️ ❤️

Clouded

  Every night, I bring myself  To stare up at the sky -  But turn back home, with a frown on my face, Clouds blocking stars, showing wry.  Every morning, I peek out the window  To marvel at the sea above - But turn away, losing hope,  Cotton figures, masking what I love.  Every time I see the clouds,  I curse them, with all might,  They don't deserve to be up there,  Ruining the bright days and starry nights.  And one day, the clouds finally went away,  And I stargazed in much peace.  But suddenly, the sky felt a bit empty -  Although dotted by the stars, without fake fleece. In the mornings, the sun burnt the pavements -  And something inside me missed watching  The white shapes that merrily float past -  I didn't realise they had much meaning.  Though much couldn't be seen, they brought A wholesome feeling - that you probably can't see -  You only can, when one day,  The clouds decide t...

What it really feels like, being indecisive.

  Let's get started.  Pick the next line:  You mean I need to choose?  You'll do just fine -  That is NOT true -  Whatever, pick the next -  I CANNOT DECIDE .  I mean why not?  That's my flawed side.  Oh, ambiguous, are we?  Sure, just pick a line for me. Is this turning into a poem?  It better be!  Why can't you decide on one answer?  What if one is better than the next?  Don't think too much about possible blunders -  That is exactly why I fret.  You can't not have an opinion -  But that's how it is.  You should really change -  It's not my fault I'm indecisive.  Think about it, I'm used to heat, but at the moment  I can use some cool But I can survive in the Sahara if I have to But I'll suffer in cold rooms, I might even solidify  But now, the heat is a bit hard to bear  But I'm afraid, the AC might get too extreme -  ALRIGHT, I understand, it's pretty hard to ...

Thunder & Lightning

Lightning is that which intimidates,  But thunder is that which wishes  To follow lightning.  That is to say,  Thunder follows lightning's path,  But reaches a different destination.  But thunder can be far more intimidating -  You don't need to see it to believe it.  But aren't we told to not blindly believe  Whatever we hear?  For all we know, the "thunder" we heard,  Could just be the bark of a very large dog.  But lightning is something we see - But can we believe everything we see?  Perhaps the lightning is just  The lights, somewhere in the sky  Fluctuating.  But if we can't rely on thunder  Or lightning  What if they're both played together?  Though thunder always follows,  Never leads or walks beside,  Surely, we can believe  If we see it, and hear it.  But how great could the coincidences be?  No, to believe it, you must feel it -  And not just a mere ink...
