Ivor, I love your words –
we are merely a mite of dust
searching for love and trust
cradled by one Motherland
Amazing poem and music.

Hi, guys! This week, I’ve gotten a little more serious with what’s on my mind. This is a piece not just for us Indians, but also folks all over who think their country is in a flux and disharmony. It’s bilingual, with translations at the bottom. Hope it resonates!

Thanks and have a good week, peeps!

a sad piece, that struck a chord in my heart. It’s certainly one that would resonate with many…as in almost every country these days there seems to be some form of disharmony

Discontent with politicians and their ways seem to be a wider spread and more frequent as of late. It’s unfortunate.

True, but when they instigate mobs, things take on a more serious trend. Intolerance seems to be rising everywhere.
