Happy Birthday Old Lady


Indeed the time has spurted we start calling her old
she has gone four years past being a senior citizen
this lifetime seems to be a fairy tale of chronicles
from being the land of snake charmers to CEOs

The pillars of success all above strengthened
read that as the sarva shikshaya abhiyan
initiatives paying off but where are the tools
pillars weakening with poverty and infidelity

Troubles as such are in plenty to ply with
Ak 47s all in readiness to breach
the reds are on riots khakis gone nuts
terror blunting all her emotional feelings

yes she is so called the den of conspiracy
the two words of arrant importance
as in my mother tongue durniti au tadanta
corruption and investigation all from her roots

The equation of power unsettled ogling for veto
the curse of being peace loving making her soft
neighbours still eyeing her cosmos fruitfulness
nuclear deal was catching a big fish in a tiny pond

Still everybody looking at her winners the aces
Sachin acheived what nobody ever did
Rahman swayed the world with his jai ho
its time for delhi 2010 to unfold CWG

She is the queen of more than a billion people
drenched with the pours of seven big rivers
resounding melodies from over five k dialects
This is she.. my motherland.. my India
MY INCREDIBLE INDIA
