Independence Day

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"

NUMBERS

                                                          Life! As we call it. They say it all started some 13.77 billion years ago, and the maelstrom of particles then lead to this planet and us residing on it. Some say 'GOD' created all this. However it all came to be, there are about 8.7 million species on this planet and they all have many different sensory organs to perceive this world. The eye however is considered the best way to behold this absolutely majestic universe we live in. But I never knew how it all looks. No! I'm not blind; I never knew how the world looks physically. All I can see are numbers, equations, letters and symbols. Some I learned, some I haven't yet, and some doesn't exist in any books on this planet.  PS : This is just a concept for making a short animation video I am thinking about....

Death of a star!

I watched the folks in a jewellery store, gaping at the gold led before. They smiled and awed at the shining gold, and wondered why. Unaware, ignorant of the fact that it once shone brightly in the sky. In order for us to live, A star must die! The sun, the moon, the planets and asteroids, including    the earth where we reside. Once shone brightly in the sky. In order for us to live, A star must die! The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the life we love, and the death we fear, it’s possible because  it  died. The things we love each other for to the gold we kill each other for, once brightly shone in the sky. In order for us to live, a star must die! A star that lived before us, brightly shone in the sky. It still shines brightly, as us, now that it has died. In order for us to live, a star must die! A star must die!       ...
