Euphoric Event at the Rashtrapati Bhavan

It was such a beautiful and euphoric day today. The mild and soft sunlight, basking Delhi and the Rashtrapati Bhavan, glorifying it's past times and the elating future that is much awaited. What a royal day it was indeed! The arrival of international dignitaries enhanced the mood of the boisterous public. Hamid Karzai, Mahinda Rajapaksa and Tshering Togbay were those dignitaries who arrived in their traditional costumes and this created a sense of dignity and royalty in the hysteric assemblage of the people of India. The largest democracy of the world saw it's largest Prime Ministerial Oath taking Ceremony which was really splendid and bubbling with propriety. A solemn occasion for a country like India, to relish it's 67th year of freedom as well as the election of such a Prime Minister whose actions and behavior can be compared to that of a royal lion. If just by Narendra Modi's arrival in the government has made the sensex rise, then one can imagine the ebullient time India will enjoy in the very near future. 
The Rashtrapati Bhavan was booming with people, joy as well as the memories from memory lane. The religious leaders' presence, bestowed blessings upon the BJP and the citizens of India to make our India lead with grandeur principles and sumptuous culture. The dias had been decorated with the President of India, Mr. Pranab Mukherjee. Though I might be ludicrous in pin-pointing the meticulous details instead of the grand ones, I feel I must do it for the pride of India. If one observed assiduously, then one would notice the lavish furniture of the government. The chair of the President was so very exquisite and was made with the intricate cultural designs that it just highlighted the beauty and magnificence of the country. The Ashoka Chakra and the 4 lions uphold the dignity and aggressiveness as well as peace and serenity of the country, make India very unique. This day shall be written in the book of Time with gleaming golden letters praising India and it's immense capability.
Narendra Modi, as usual, roared like a lion. He assured the people not with his speech, but with his eyes, showing the real truthfulness and the want for the country's development and the country to flourish. He is not only physically robust, but mentally intellectual and the most wanted, patriotic in thoughts. 
A person like myself, who hated this country because of the uncontrollable corruption and the no-value-for-life principle was so impressed by the stupendous organization of the events and the patriotism in the Prime Minister's eyes at least, gave up the hate for this country. I am awaiting the near future, where Indians shall make spacecrafts, where Indians shall be at the top of the world. I am waiting for that time where the citizens of India shall be seen as the paradigm of God. I am waiting for that time when our country shall soar high up in the skies, with it's head high, setting an example for the others.
I am waiting for my India....

Mera Desh!

The footprints of He Himself shaped It's soil.
It is that Entity, to it's refugees very loyal.
An Entity unmatched by any,
Though It's competitors are many.
Yes! It's my Desh; It is my beautiful India!

The mighty, bucolic Himalayas guarding the north!
The wavy waters, lurching the coasts, back and forth!
The beautiful west, the sweltering deserts!
The ecstatic Ganges, the soft corner in people's hearts!
Yes! It's my Desh; It is my beautiful India!

The many millenniums old culture,
With the ever awaited., more-blissful future.
The country with antiquity and modern propriety.
The ever enchanting, the euphoric society.
Yes! It's my Desh; It is my beautiful India!

A country with a history, extremely old!
A country with people's hearts, dazzling like gold!
People of that brilliant stature,
With such excelling etiquette behavior.
Yes! It's my Desh; It is my beautiful India!

The rivers that are worshiped as Deities!
The mighty mountains seen as the refuge for the Holy Cities!
The gorgeous ghats, embellished with rain;
Those that're sumptuous and possess a grandeur terrain!
Yes! It's my Desh; It is my beautiful India!

How lucky are we, to be born here!
It's likely because we're His dear.
The land of everlasting joy, never-fading flowers,
Of serenity and austerity and This is totally ours!
Yes! It's my Desh; It is my beautiful India!

Death

Nobody likes it, except those who renounce,
Everything and opt the life of penance...
People fear from it,
It can come anytime, while you stand or sit!
It's name is the blissful Death!

Are you scared of this?
You don't have to be, please!
It's not cruel like life; relieves you of your pains, 
People say you're dead when there are no beats in your veins.
It's name is none other than Death!

People spend their whole life fearing,
For it and God knows where this'll take'em steering,
Into the event horizon of death,
Or the immediate and permanent loss of breath.
It's infamously known as Death.

But why should one be dreaded,
When one is aware that in life, is death embedded!
It's a momentary pain-inducing exempt,
From the clutches of life and it's attempt,
To slaughter you into a thread!

It's just a 5 letter word,
Relieves you from life, yet not absurd!
It's not mere philosophy,
At least for me.
Life is eternal anxiety,
Death is eternal piety.

Poetry is No Joke....

I am out of words, I can't write more!
I used to write, when my thoughts used to soar,
Up till the heavens, with a majestic rise,
Oh! That's all I needed, that was my prize!
But now! I don't know why,
When I start a poem, it just makes me sigh.
I laugh at myself, ridiculing my mind.
Oh indeed! My thoughts nowadays never bind, 
With the beautiful words, grammar being the thread,
To my creativity, which once just bled!
No matter what, the outcome was always satisfying.
But now! To write poems, I am just dying,
Begging Him to give me a thought,
So that I can write something I sought!
It's so silly, asking someone to help me write!
Probably my patience has reached it's greatest height! 
Or probably, it's just not my cup of tea!
Probably my destiny is not what I want to be!
Oh! Waste of time indeed it is!
I am no poet, I am not a wiz!
Ha! But my desire won over my fate!
Because I am still writing, till date!

On The Occasion of the Divine Shankara Jayanti.....

Shankara
O Adi Shankara, expounder of the Vedic ocean of knowledge,
Bless me O Thou!
I shalt be thine disciple, I pledge.
To dart out of this illusion without thee, I don't know how! 

Thy blessings, bestow upon me!
Oh Acharya! Thou is my only will!
Please come here at once, wherever Thou may be!
Oh Shankara! Free me from this world, a peril!

Thou is extremely compassionate,
Thus I behold Thine words of wisdom.
Bless me my Guru, the scion of the wise,a Vedic passionate!
Thou bless me, to attain eternal freedom.

Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada is your divine name!
Thou is the only Guru having 'Ādi' as a prefix.
Thine works are extravagantly of fame!
Oh Guru! Build my mind with divinity's bricks!

'Bhaja Govindam' is what Thou said for a patriarch Grammarian!
The essence of the Universal Truth, Thou conveyed in a mere phrase!
Oh the enlightened one! Save me before I turn a barbarian!
Save me before I forget Thou! Hasten to embrace!

Oh the expounder of Advaita! Thou is my only guidance!
Let the gleaming light of Thine knowledge lighten the dark room of the mind!
I am a faithful student, a student full of diligence!
Enlighten me with Self Truth, Oh the very kind!

Bestow Thine blessings on this soul!
Make me a staunch student of Thee!
Oh Acharya! Let achieving Him be my life's ultimate goal!
Oh Shankara! Save me from this Maya, a filthy sea!
