Adventure is out there, waiting for you!

It is hard to take a decision just like that…

When you know-not where you are headed to and what path you’ve to walk…

When you hear the future beckon you far in the distance

And you’re ready to toss the comfort of the zone you’ve since-forever been-in

When the calling is strong
And others say: Hey! What's wrong?

But the gut won’t shut

And the whispers of new dreams would clutter your head

Then you must give in

And give your belief a chance

While doubts mutter

Allow courage to take a stance

I know it’s hard to let go

To leave behind the grounds you’ve worked on for so long

Snapping all the strings won’t be easy

Apprehensions like butterflies in your tummy would make you a little dizzy

But you must move on

With head held high and dreams of a new life

Flap your wings to freedom

Because adventure is out there, waiting for you!

Dawn is not too away from the dark

Bound in shackles yet again

Of the vices that are my off springs

Seldom did I know

That the seeds of sweat and blood my freedom martyrs had sown

Would reap so much corruption and greed someday…

Today I am on the brink of collapse

As they divide me into portions of a meal

But would their hunger ever be satiated???

But each time an innocent little child salutes at my flag

The dreams in his eyes, take me back to that fresh breath of freedom

That I once experienced…

The sound of my anthem stirs up national spirits

And melodious praise of my youth…

The sounds of ‘Jaye He’, ‘Vande Matram’ and ‘Sare Jahan Se Acha, Hindustan Humara’ brim me with hopeful tears of glory…

And oh! The whiff of patriotism then…

It stirs my soul giving me hope

That the dawn is not too away from the dark

I wait for my freedom yet again…
