i have registered as a volunteer in Anna Hazare's movement at www.indiaagainstcorruption.org
I have my limits but i'll do my best. 'coz I believe that if every Indian does his part, no matter how small, the dream of a corruption free India can surely be achieved.

THE INDIAN

I was born an Indian,
and shall live an Indian..
Just like any civilian,
I'm proud to be Indian..

Every day, I do pray,
and to God, I just say..
"make me rich, make me great,
no matter what, the other's fate.."

Neat and clean, my lawn I keep,
and my neighbour's, with garbage I heap..
Just like any civilian,
I'm proud to be Indian..

I earn in thousands and even lakhs,
to pay for ration, money lacks..
A mansion I build, with marbles fine,
but still I am, Below Poverty Line..

To earn more and show very less,
I have learned, without a mess..
Just like any civilian,
I'm proud to be Indian..

I pay no tax, and I don't care,
but in all office, I give their share..
It is a crime, I agree,
but only when, others see..

You call it corruption, I call it gift,
to do my work, smooth and swift..
Just like any civilian,
I'm proud to be Indian..

And when men like, Hazare emerge,
with the supporting crowd, I too merge..
Sms, email, update and post,
and in a few days, the spirit is lost..

I praise them here and curse them there,
'coz in this game, all is fair..
Just like any civilian,
I'm proud to be Indian...

INDIAN BOND

The Indian culture, i must say,
is the best, whatever may...
I got a taste, of it's depth,
it's soul, it's very breath..

A girl, a stranger otherwise,
a nobody, then to my eyes..
Is now my sis, just like that,
nothing divine, nor noble act...

just a bracelet threaded,
and sweet, with love flooded,
tied,with a smile..
The bondage, Indian style...

Alas, I never knew,
until this experience new..
That in India, the kings,
are with the heart, who thinks..

And thus now, I've learned,
another lesson well earned..
This is no silly chatter,
blood ain't always thicker than water..

she

To describe a girl other than you,
to praise another I never knew..
But dear oh dear! Don't take me wrong,
that little face deserves a song..
Fair was she, with a golden hue,
like the sun's first ray on the morning dew..
Not just beautiful, but beauty was she,
always and forever, smiling she seemed to be..
A silver line on the golden skin,
her anklets thin, made all heads spin...

{ sory.. But couldn't complete this one.. It was an instantaneous burst of emotion.. The moment she left my sight I lost the flow.. To complete this, I've tried many a times but failed always.. I believe it's possible only if I see her again..}

Jaana he ki duniya bereham he,
diya jo isne itne gam he..
Phir bhi bharosa kiya is pe,
jab kaha ki mera dard bahut kam he...

The Joker

Like a joker,
who laughs not for himself..
Who laughs in pain,
to see others happy..

I laughed at fate,
tears brimming in my eyes..
With each blow I got,
I laughed harder still..

I laughed in darkness,
to hide my tears..
I laughed out loud,
my breaking heart ever unheard..

All laughed with me,
oblivious to my torments..
And when at last,
I stop laughing..
"lucky man.." they'll say,
"he died happy..."
