My Lord Friend.  



Disclaimer : A little adapted , a little more translated  and hugely inspired by a song of Gulaal called Yaara Maula . Listen to it if you can . You wont curse me after that . 




My lord, my friend,
In my dreams the world is still beautiful,
Hands full of balloons and a ballooning trend, 
A beat in my heart as ever graceful .

My lord , my friend ,
Yes , Those were the world of dreams ,
Those were the world of books ,
Where every breath would create ripples ,
Where eyes would sparkle passion ,

My lord , my friend ,
You were my earth, you were my sky,
But little did I know of your equity,
So , I stood on the edge of a deep hole of immorality ,

In throngs, then they came ,
They carried swords and said , friends they were ,
Commanded to throw away those books ,
And educated me to wear swords and cuffs with all its care . 

“ This hole that you see ,
Wealth enormous will there be ,
Tomorrows world is in there .
Take this sword and jump with a dare .
Kill whoever dares to stand before You .
and then the future will belong to You .”

I did what they told me to do ,
Because they wanted me to do so ,
I do not know why I did it ,
But they only told me they wished me to do so .

That hole was dark ,
But , I had gone too far to remark ,
I was trained well , 
So couldn't see if I was killing my own self . 

Now , that taste of blood
That thirst for a kill ,
Has haunted me , has bounded me ,
You tell me what do I do ?
Who do I kill ?

Not a soul to guide ,
No more room to hide ,
My lord , my friend ,
In my dreams You still reside ,
That world , those books , no more lies ,

Tell me what I need to do .
My lord , my friend ,
What do I do ?

The Power of We  



United We stand, divided We fall is not just a phrase but a call for unity. A desperate call for I to collect into We. I, is just an entity. We are a force. A force, the power of which We'll realize once We are We . We are not just a nation of a billion people but a seething mass waiting for an opportunity to unite. Unity is power. We are the power.

The power of We is immense and It is high time We start writing We in capitals . It was We who fought for our independence. It was We who fought against injustice. It was We who stood out against corruption. It was We who emerged. It is We who give hope. We are the masses. We are a billion.

Now is our time. It is We who vote and elect. It is We who still fight against corruption and injustice. It is We who still light candles. It is We who still run the country. It is We who say O.K is no longer O.K . We are the change. We fight for a change.

We are constructed out of a huge numbers of I . Multiple bricks make a wall. Multiple walls make up a building. Multiple buildings make up a city. Multiple cities make up a country. The drift is clear and so is the power of We .

The power of We is always tested. And,   We win every time.  We continue to dwell within ourselves instead of dwelling the We  .  For how long will We be a dormant force awakening only when provoked. It is time to be dominant. It is our time now. We are the power .   

To all those friends who made sure We had the ride of a life . You are my power . We are the power .
