India – A celebration of life!
The majestic Himalayas
kiss the azure skies
And the Ganges flow down
Blessing the land below
Bruised and bloodied
By ruthless conquerors
She stood her ground
Strong and resilient
Vibrant and chaotic
With an energy that awakens
Exotic and colourful
India – a celebration of life!
The blare of horns
The maze of daily traffic
The muezzins call
and temple chants
A creative burst
A dizzying plethora
A dazzling confluence
Of cultures and tradition
Dances and drumbeats
A riot of colours
Lights and sounds
Its festival time
A land of saints and sages
Who meditated in solitude
Seeking truth and knowledge
To free the world from ignorance
As the sun sets
The crowds disperse
And at the street-corner
A little boy greets you with a smile!
