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!! ❤️ ❤️

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...

true friend

  The rain fell from the sky,  Drenching all of us together.  I held the umbrella, waiting for them to join, They took it, and went away.  One or two of them turned to thank me,  But none of them stayed and asked me to join. I stood rooted to the spot, staring at the puddles,  Staring at my reflection, wavered by ripples. Raindrops or tears? I didn't know,  But I knew they'd left me all alone.  The sun, blazing in the sky,  I sit under a tree, hiding in the shade,  And they all come to me,  Sit beside me, sweet talk me,  Slowly push me away.  Until they're all crowded together,  Laughing merrily as I stare;  Left under the burning sun, back on fire,  Sweat or tears? I didn't know,  But I knew I didn't want to be right there.  The sky was beautiful, the sunset painting a scenery,  As I watched from the balcony, eyes wide with surprise.  And they all came to me, fooled me with charm, As yet...

Happy New Year!

Hello, 2026,  What do you have for us?  We're all optimistic -  And we're almost experienced. I'm ready for the long list of resolutions  That will either last a week or fade away. I've met your predecessors -  Big titles, a promising index  But the font becomes smaller and less denser  As the pages turn.  And I hope that this time,  The chaos is funny  The change is useful  The evolution is forwards. You don't need to be perfect -  We just need enough light to find Our lost things Ourselves And our people.  Without panic.  But anyways, I'll try again -  A new journal, new diary,  New planner, a neater handwriting -  It wouldn't hurt to try, even if I might fail. But make sure to knock first  Before barging in - I prefer a slow fade in  Rather than a flash.  And however it goes,  Please give us a good story,  Lots of happy memories,  And the best of friends.  Dear 2026...
