We in India

India is a unique place in terms of its geography, its seasons, its traditions, its people, its history, its literature, its politics, its culture, and everything that our minds can conjure! We live in a society that is plagued by all types of evils, we eat food that is contaminated by all types of adulteration, we survive in an economy that thrives on chaos, we worship god-men/women who suddenly become under-trials, we follow the law made by absconders of justice.....!
Yet, we are one of the happiest people in the world, we are one of the most satisfied people in the world, we are the most resilient people.......!
A few lines on the indomitable spirit of being an Indian!!!!!

We in India

We walk on the road,

With spirits so low and nowhere to go;

Testing our tryst,

Across scorching sun and rivers without flow.

We wander on the road,

With tremble in feet and breath without air;

Seeking the path,

Across flickering signals and signs with glare.

We perch on the road,

With death on prowl and just minutes left,

Chasing the mirage,

Across seas of sand stretched beyond the cleft.

We march on the road,

With dreams in heart and gleams in eyes;

Searching for hope,

Kindling lights in darkness and smiles in cries.
