Navratras

Navratras a nine days celebration

Devotees perform puja

Recite mantras, keep fast

To please goddesses.

To achieve spirituality growth and do self introspection

To do no wrong.

At the end demand peace for all worldwide

VASUDHAIVA KUTUMBHAKAM.

A win of good over evil for all.

Col Parmjit Singh

A Chapter Closes, A Page Turns

In halls I've walked, where memories reside,

A piece of heart remains, as I step aside.

The familiar faces, the laughter and the tears,

Echoes of a chapter, through all the passing years.

The comfort zone, where growth was made,

Now feels like a skin, outgrown and frayed.

The itch to explore, to discover and to roam,

Beckons me to leave, and make a new home.

A mix of emotions, like autumn's hue,

Melancholy and excitement, intertwined anew.

The fear of unknown, the thrill of the new,

A bittersweet symphony, my heart doth renew.

As I bid adieu, to this familiar shore,

I take with me lessons, and memories galore.

The people, the experiences, the triumphs and the strife,

Shaped me, molded me, and prepared me for life.

The new horizon beckons, with promise and with might,

A chance to spread wings, to soar into new light.

New faces, new stories, new challenges to abide,

A fresh canvas awaits, where colors will reside.

I take a deep breath, and step into the unknown,

Embracing the ambivalence, as I make my way back home.

For growth is a journey, of twists and of turns,

And though it's hard to leave, a new chapter yearns.

I am a Proud Veteran

A proud veteran of a professional Army

I served in all weathers hot or stormy

May it be the deserts of hot windy sand

Or Skyking heights of mountainous land

I proudly share the wonderful narration

That with full of might I served my Nation

Throughout whole great land far and near

I served proudly through best of my years

With a deep rooted passion of country first

We all strived hard and gave our best

And endowed with the military medals

Which I proudly bear on my chest

An organization above color creed or caste

I feel so proud to have served in the past

With total dedication and commitment

To complete any challenging task

High spirit ever and a winning attitude

Such an Organization I would ever salute

I met great people I never had thought

And have heroic stories to tell a lot

Soldiering tasks, the thundering sounds

I always had brave hearts around

They walked along me row by row

We reached where only real heroes go

Today when I have hanged my uniform

I serve my people and brothers in arm

Though as a soldier I am now retired

But as a veteran I will never get tired

I serve as a veteran to the people around

And my love for my country knew no bound

I narrated my emotions never to hide

My services will continue till I survive

I am now contented and if there is a lust

The country was and will always be first
