Vande Mataram


"So far as I am able to judge, nothing has been left undone, either by man or nature, to make India the most extraordinary country that the sun visits on his rounds. Nothing seems to have been forgotten, nothing overlooked." --Mark Twain


India, a very prolific country. I've been living here since 15 years. Pretty much through out my life till now. This country reminds me of a lot of things. One of the biggest being, Myself.
I would have never stood where I stand today, had I not been born on this country. I would never know colours, in their true sense, if not for india. I would have never known the cows-- The Gae Maata! In the literal way! I would have never felt the fun, of flying kites on 15th August. I would have never got goose bumbs while watching the Republic Day Parade.

I would have never learned that feeling of pride when I see our "Tiranga" flying high in the air..

I would have never known myself, if not for my country..

Please hold hands with me, friends. Let's make a difference. I think the time has come. Indeed. We need to start our movement.
And by "Our" movements, you'll know what I mean,once you read the peom below that i wrote..
Be my human chain guys..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

My Human Chain With You.
I have roaring dreams,
dreams that make me twist and turn at night.
Dreams that make me restless,
dreams that make me think,
when the rest of the world sleeps.

But... That silent music of introvertism,
kept the roaring dreams,
tightly shut in a box.

You know why?
Because my dreams demanded change,
My dreams demanded me to rise,
My dreams kept pushing me towards extrovertism,
My dreams kept pleading,
Crying i'm the last hope..

But today,dawn has cracked,
Not on Earth . . . Yet,
But in my heart.

I've found the key,
to that little box,'
where my dreams and thoughts were captives . .

I scream out today,
and hear me well, friends!

A change I'd like to make,
is for you all to start dreaming.
A change I'd like to make,
is for you all to forget race,caste,and creed.
A change I'd like to make,
is for you all to work.
Work; towards a birghter India,
a brighter future.
A change I'd like to make,
is for you all to not join hands with "Brain Drain".
But my friends,
A change we need now,
This very second;
Is for you all to get a vision,
Not just sight.

A vision that enables you,
To be grateful to this land,
This land; of our father's sweat.

A vision that teaches,
You to propogate,
Not dominate.

A vision that makes you,
A born leader,
to lead India to change, to rise to the top.

A change I'd like to make,
is for you all to join hands with me,
And make the longest Human Chain.
A human chain that symbolizes,
to even the stars up above the zenith, the heaven,
The change that you're a part of,
The change you made,
The change for good,
A changed paradise called India. . .

  14. Nil, this poem is...I have NO words.Amazing,extraordinary,
    touching etc. are insufficient to describe what I think of it. Forgive me for sticking to the limited adjectives at my disposal...
    The poem is absolutely wonderful. I agree with Remya(again) that this deserves some recognition. I'm sure if you can write something like this, you can DEFINITELY throw up some best-sellers,oh what the heck, classics ! I love this poem and I think it is one of the best I've read so far. Congrats and thank you !

    p.s. I don't know who Rohan and Mrinalini are, but their conversations in the last couple of posts were extremely entertaining ! :D

    Cheers to you~!

    P.S-- Haha, yes, Mrinalini and Rohan are my childhood buddies. And well, they live on my blog! ;)They are the one's running it, by attracting readers with their hilarious conversations!! Lol. :P
