The Beautiful Game

I just realised I never wrote about the thing I loved the most,

Its high time I raise a toast,

Toast to the beautiful game - Football

I still remember being new to the place,

Relishing the challenges I had to face,

To learn the game, to earn my name,

To make sure it became my life,

With football, I've never had any strife

The grass lush green, the smell of the field,

The running behind the ball,

The keeper's dives and fall,

All united in the love for the game,

All shooting for the goal's frame

The falling down, The coaches frown,

Getting back up on your feet,

Fans getting up from their seat,

The speed of the forward,

The elegance of the midfield,

The strength of the defence,

The fearlessness of the keeper,

It all makes up one family,

Brothers together in everything smart or silly

The feeling you get when on the field,

The passion for the game,

No other thing could yield,

It's Life's burning flame

The Ecstasy in winning, the cry of losing,

The ups and downs of the game,

The delight of reaching our aim,

The pride in claiming victory,

The feelings others cannot see,

It all makes sense,

Those 90 minutes full of suspense

The back with your name,

The front with your crest's fame,

Yet it's the team which matters the most,

It's these feelings which I host,

Football is my life,

Football my religion,

Keeping me alive,

Football is my oxygen!

A Toast To Our Friendship

It was the month of August I remember, When for the first time we were together, Unaware of what awaited us ahead, All those moments going through my head, And so I raise, A toast to our friendship I was new to this place, Thought finding friends would be the toughest task I'd face, But then you all came along, And now I realise where I belong, And that's why I raise, A toast to our friendship We started talking more and more, Even in moments of sorrow we made sure, We were there for each other, Our love started growing every time we met one another, And So I raise, A toast to our friendship And now we stand here, Just a year before we depart, School may end but we would never be apart, The bond we share, the way we care, Losing you all is something I wouldn't even dare, And tha...

Being Indian

As I stand here in front of you, Let's not talk about something you already know, Let's not talk about how great we Indians are, Let's reflect a bit of tradition that is ours Over the course of thousands of years, Our mother land went through a lot of smiles & tears, From the intelligence of our mathematicians to the bravery of the soldiers, From the riches of our heritage to the mixture of our cultures, There are endless things to discuss about, Endless thoughts running throughout But I wasn't asked to discuss all this, 'Cause most of you have it on your fingertips, I was here to share our Indian pride, How all of us must have enjoyed this ride, From the stories we've heard of our Independence struggle, To the CWG's criticism & appreciation juggle, I'm sure we all had that big smile on our face, When our nation came 2nd in the medal race, The Patriotic feeli...

Trapped

Unable to express these feelings inside, Boiling throughout with rage, As he tries to look far wide, Finds himself trapped within the cage Powerless to break past these shackles, Stuck within the circle of duty, Shaking up his heart's hackles, No longer enjoying the spring beauty Withering down like autumn leaves, Breaking apart piece by piece, Smoked up everything he believes, Hopeless for any kind of peace Being chased away into darkness, Defenceless against his ferocity, Scarred along with his word's sharpness, Can't help but endure his animosity Hiding behind the veil of attachment, Entangled fear becoming rife, Resolves around the final judgement, Escaping his forlorn state of life
