He hypnotized Americans
with his perpetual charm,
he won a million hearts
with his appeal and warmth.

The color of his skin
didn't matter more,
for the reason behind his win
was his unmatched candor!

He made no bogus speeches nor
did he make dubious claims,
putting America to the fore
he promised to usher a change.

He held helpless hands
of the poor and the old
and placed their issues
at the very threshold.

With a vision for his nation
and immense love for Americans,
he pledged to make a difference
in the lives of billions!

Obama defied history
and made his place,
he is one man to whose tune
the whole of America sways!

Happy Father's Day!

From the time I learnt to walk
to the time I learnt to talk,
From the time I first read abc
to the time I first called out 'daddy'
Papa you've always stood by me!



When I ran my first race
you were there to tie my lace
and when I fell down on my way
you gave me strength to stand again!


I still remember all your stories
of ugly goblins and beautiful fairies,
Even when I asked a million questions
you answered each with the same patience!

You bought me dolls and cars
Just for my smile you could bring down stars,
You always made sure I got the best
my every wish you've first addressed!

You taught me to be bold
you taught me to endure,
To always walk with my head held high
and look into the enemy's eye!

I know dad even if the whole world
disowns me some day
you will still by my side stay!


Papa I solemnly vow
To always make you proud
Give you all the world's happiness
and always stay your little princess!
Indira Shukla.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY PAPA :)

Love You Mom!! :)




My Mother…..
She’s like shade in the scorching heat
She’s like breeze to the autumn trees
She’s like rains to a barren land
She’s like an oasis in a sea of sand
She’s like a ray of light in a dark cave
She’s like a flower on a deserted grave!

She knows me in and out
She guides me when in doubt
She walks with me through thick and thin
Holding her hand every battle I win!

Without you mom
Who would have for me cared?
Little joys of life
With whom would I have shared?

All my sorrows I forget in a zap
When I lay my head on your lap
Your touch makes me
still feel like a toddler,
I wish you never ever leave me
and stay by my side forever and ever!

Indira Shukla:)
PS:Dedicated to my Mom...
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY:)

Where is love?

"Where is love?" I quizzed the trees
"In our sweet berries it lies" they replied merrily
"Where is love?" I asked the sea
"In my sapphire waves" it roared proudly.


"Where is love?" I questioned the azure
"In my pearly raindrops it" thundered
"Where is love?" I asked the breeze
"In my gentle stillness" it decreed.


"Where is love?" I asked the fire
"In my golden flames" it answered with ire
"Where is love?" I questioned the earth
She said "It dwells only in my children's mirth."


"Where is love?" I asked a baby
"In my mother's arms" he replied naively
"Where is love?" I questioned his mother
"Where else but in my baby's titter"
"Where is love?" I asked a young girl
She returned "In his heart is my world"


"Where is love?" someone asked me
Confused I snapped "Love is in whatever I see
Love is everywhere around me
Love is available for free
Yet why do I feel so lonely?"
