My odyssey with faith
Faith acts as a stabilizer
When your fear takes shape of lazer
Ripping apart the soul
Which once rested in peace.
It is like a cool drink
Which when drunk settles all your anxieties
And lightens the way to a brink.
It invites a blissful state within
A state, the glimpse of which
Can be traced in eternally
delightful kittens.
It reinforces your bond with life
And you are all set to go miles full of knives.
It eclipses fears in one’s soul
and plants the seeds of self belief,
which enthuses him to make it to the shores,
Alas! Today’s youth lacks in them
In them this perennial fountain
Of calmness and serenity
And thus are imbibing in them enmity
The power of your faith should be greater than
your power of fear,
To save your life from becoming a dreadfu
odyssey of tears.

I’m The Girl
I’m the girl, who hides behind
a smile everyday.
I’m the girl, who has a tough exterior.
But that’s not who I really am.
I’m the girl, who has a lot of problems,
But doesn’t share one thing.
I’m the girl, who keeps everything bottled up.
Sometimes I just need someone to talk to.
Someone to care about me.
Someone to listen to my problems.
Someone to hold me when I cry.
Someone to love me.
Nobody knows the real me.
Nobody knows what I go through everyday.
Nobody knows what I have to do just to make it through the day.
Nobody knows that I’m the girl who isn’t who I say I am.
And I’m the girl who will cry herself to sleep every night.

INDIA
India is our motherland
Of great saints and sages’ land
She has progressed through many ages,
Rich underdeveloped developing stages
We have inherited from History’s page
India’s rich cultural heritage
India is but simply great
With her tool of diversity to integrate,
And her resilience from a crisis situation
India has achieved many a goal
With her world leadership role
Without any fear or favour
We wish her all success
In every endeavor

PARENTS
Father Mother
Our Mentor
Which one cannot explain
by using any popular definition
I am so lucky, as
God has given me
Such beautiful parents
Who are so caring and understanding
They not only perform the role of teachers,
Friends and of parents but also a role
Of guide at every step of mine.
They are my dictionary
Who help me in learning
The actual meaning of
Good and bad part of our life.
God just once hear my petition
And in every stage of my life
Make them my parents

INCHING TOWARDS SUCCESS
Tough times have left me though miles’ apart
But I haven’t take this challenge to my heart
I believe doing my duties in the earnest right
No matter if it never came to everyone’s sight
Many a time I have failed in all of my pursuits
But I preferred remain attached to my all roots
I know golden rule of the defeat and of success
Be patient in your efforts and never take stress
For inching towards success never give-in, in life
Our life is not easy cake walk but is full of strife
