Joy of friends

Friendship is a shining gift,

That warms you with its glow,

Brightening life’s path for you,

No matter where you go,

Whenever in life you shift,

Even if with all efforts you try,

Friendship is a priceless gift,

Which you can never buy,

Made of love, trust and care,

It cannot die or fade,

Friendship is always sweet and fair,

Bringing treasure bright as gold and happiness to spare.

Awake India

My dream landed me in a strange land,

Where peace was holding my hand.

With an ocean of love in my heart,

And all qualms set apart,

I invited all to taste the pearls of my India vast.

Scented was the air,

I was glad to see nothing unfair.

Morning appeared with arrows of gold,

My India was in a state of solvency,

Sparrow of gold

But when I woke up from my dream,

I saw India where conscience is killed and split,

Where life is uncertain

And future at stake, Awake India awake.
