Vibrant Verses By Manjula Asthana Mahanti

Proud of my Country

I am a proud citizen of India
A country, named “Sone Ki Chidia”
Country, praised for its unique culture
Famous for its rich values, virtues
Which whole world is copying anxiously,
A country, known for its principles of
Peace and forgiveness,
A country named, “Cradle of Nature”
Has Himalaya as its Ice Crown, protects
Always,
High mountain range, wide green meadows
Rumbling rivers, dense forests, high waterfalls,
And what not which beautifies my country!
Ecologically rich, technically sound
My Country has unity in diversity
A country of enthusiastic, robust “Veer Jawaans”
Well-groomed, skillful brave army
Always prepared to sacrifice their lives
For the sake of safety of country
Many instances of their bravery, well known
Yes, country has some problems
Presently
But they are momentary
Slowly, they are being eradicated
As day & night, black &white, go together
I believe in positivity
Sun always shines, no matter how dark
Night was,
Want to be here again in next life

Long live our freedom, happy Independence Day.
