I am from India my land my home, I come back here no matter where else I’ve roamed...
I come from a land of a billion,
I come from a mystic place of saris, dhotis, bangles and foreheads with vermillion.
I come from a home of faith, belief and prayers,
When you look around, you see people of different layers.
I come from a land of dosas, chutney,
Idli, vadas and sambar,
I come from a place where there are bustling markets and bazaars.
I am from a family of strong women folk,
Follow traditions and sing prayers to Gods we invoke.
I am from a land of untold history and grandeur,
Of Palaces, Maharajas, wealth and Princess’ allure.
I am from a land of mysticism, religion, culture and the Kama Sutra,
I am from the rivers Ganga, Yamuna and Brahmaputra.
I come from a place of many languages and states,
I come from lands of natural beauty many can appreciate.
I come from a land that had struggled and lost its riches and treasures,
I come from a land of the Kohinoor Diamond and many undiscovered treasures.
I am from a place of peace, Buddha and his teachings,
I am from a land of many priests, pilgrimages and The Holy Books’ Teachings.
I am from the land of mountains, valleys and beautiful sceneries,
I am from a land of many Gods, Goddesses and powerful energies.
I am from India my land my home,
I come back here no matter where else I’ve roamed.
I am from family and friends who are close and dear,
No matter the odds, I face my everyday with strength, not fear.
