Every year the same day We celebrate and pray On our independence day Dishes and cakes, we bake Vows and promises, we make All to make fruitful Our hard earned, independence day! Once again comes the auspicious day We prepare for all we do, all we may But let's not do all the same This time, let's play a different game The wars of lands & countries are long gone And what's been done cannot be undone So let's forget about countries now And think about our 'planet' this time! PS - though written on the occasion of India's independence day, it isn't just for "Indians"

In life In dreams In the darkness Watching a distant lantern's gleam Why do we fall? Because of 'heart' From a hilltop Or a crashing plane from a dream With a blaring scream Why do we fall? Like everyone else Once I fell And hence I asked Why do we fall? And I begged, Mochiagete! Mochiagete!! PS - "Mochiagete, tokihanashite!", line from a Linkin Park song 'Jornada del muerto' it means, "lift me up, let me go!" Heart is in qoutes cos it's the wrong organ to blame!

Give me hope Give me strength Give me light Give it enough So I can fight Give it enough So I can peel myself off of me Give it enough So I can wash the poison off of me And all I ask is your consent That I can love you from afar!!

From the darkness Towards the light Rise from the ashes Take the flight Like a phoenix Burning in the night Wash the darkness from off my skin Bring me to light, so I could be akin!!
