The Pure Soul


It was August 22nd, the night,
I was on my way to the flight,
To hold your hand, hug you tight,
But he took you away, took away my light

Hearing your last words filled with pride,
Unable to stop the tears slide,
You're being missed in every breathe of our life,
Our souls would forever remain tied

No one could be such a pure soul,
Touch so many lives with nothing but love,
Can't help but take a lonely stroll,
Down the path, with the void in my heart

Dadima, most of my life,
It's just been me & you there,
If only you were still here,
Helping me over all my fears

If you could see me now,
You would pat me on the back,
Guide me towards the right track,
Wish you could see me take my vows

I'm trying to make you proud,
Moving ahead with values you sowed,
I hope you're up there with
God, saying "That's my Kid!"

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
