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!! ❤️ ❤️

Long Lost Sleep

  After a long, exhausting day, the only thing all of us look forward to is SLEEP. So, as soon as you finish off the last crumbs on your dinner plate, you fling yourself onto your bed, rest yourself in a comfortable position, get your pillow nice and fluffed up, and throw the blankets on yourself. But then... You just realised that you still have your big, wobbly earrings on. So you throw back the blankets and remove your earrings and leave them in their box. And then you're back in your bed, and just as your eyelids are about to close... You realise that you haven't brushed your teeth. So, yet again, your throw back the blankets and get off the bed, letting the annoying, creaky sound fill your head. And then you throw open the door to your bathroom, get your brush ready and squeeze toothpaste onto it, but... The tube seemed to have a hole on the back, which you sadly hadn't noticed. And you get toothpaste all over your hands. Fuming, you wash your hands and get things done...

So Close, Yet So Far

  What you knew you had right beside you What you never knew might leave you What you had neglected for days What you wished was still there, within your gaze. That miniscule amount of hope  That you feel lingering close by You could open out your arms, embrace it, But suddenly it's high in the sky. Once within your grasp, But now away from you, Don't waste a moment on a wee gasp, Time won't stop, and the moving hope too. Each moment is to be caught, Each memory to be cherished, Hold them carefully in your arms, Before they shall vanish. The consistent inkling when you feel, Something close, yet so far, Is only because you know yourself, That it is within your grasp, but not within your confidence. If you're positive enough that you can hold it, The 'it' that is mysterious and something only you know, You can hold the precious 'it', Clutch it tight, don't let it go. You must be close to the end of the day, With its cliffs and slopes and Rocky slides,...

Stars

  Shining in the vast night sky, I see them from afar. Dominated by the brighter moon, There glimmer the stars. Mostly hidden by the cruel shadows, Or by the thick, misty clouds. But they do not give up, they still glimmer on, They make their voice be heard loud. Even though they're hardly seen, Even though they're hardly thought of, They know that someday they will be, Thought of, honoured and loved. So take an inspiration from stars, Show your true essence, Continue to shimmer, ignore the darkness, Because one day it'll fear your presence.
