 MY DENIAL TO CELEBRATE!!!

With the morale again towering high
The air carrying that familiar smell
Our nation again equipped and all set
Hearts and minds rehearsing to gel

But why my mind refuses this time
To turn on to this common pleasure
Make out these feelings widespread
And simply embody this joy again….

Why don’t I simply admit?
And just gear up to celebrate….
The day which symbolises our Freedom
The day which meant a common delight
The day we all learnt to commemorate!!!

Why rejoice this year resonates of a BLAST
Out of this deadly Sphinx like silence
Out of a stillness which finds itself strewn
On the corners where CURFEW
Rejects all this life, all this verve
Where the peace no more calms
But every heart does it unnerve.

The life confined to the poor pavements
And death proud on the road on its speediest wheels
With bereavement reigning free....

I find the surroundings wearing 
the hues of 
SAFFRON which looks like now Colour of Carnage 
and GREEN like those green eyed monsters
With the daggers concealed
Under their spotless WHITE cloaks 
and want to cuddle me close.

And my neighbours want to embrace
Wish me the "Independence Day"
But like others I am also petrified
As even I don’t know when I move apart
I would be alive to see the other day….

Or there would be a dagger
Stabbed on to my back
With this note

“That this is body is murdered
As it didn’t carry this nation’s scent
This mind is slaughtered
As it didn’t converse in the common dialect”

So what if he lived all these years on this land
We confirmed that he was a stranger
He was still an outsider
So he was no less a danger
For his own nation!!!

There is sorrow,there is death,
Burnt of seperation.
Peace is still there,the joy of life'
there is eaternal awareness.
Tide goes down, tide climbs up,
Flower withers another flower blooms.
Jai Hind.

nice one as usual, very poignant; but sumedha,there's so much negatives all around us, it's very difficult to exist without them - they have become so much part of us, sadly though..let's not forget, please, the small pleasures of life ( celebrating i-day may not be one)..and enjoy them as and when they present themselves before us..after all these small pleasures also are getting smaller and smaller..

You are correct in poem. Most of Indians don't have poaitive views towards our freedom. It's not that India to whom our freedom fighters had seen the dreams. I agree with your views that in our India bad happenings are fallen & things darken day by day. I totally agree with the thoughts of your poem.
But my buddy Sumedha, Is your step bold and optimistic? The step you had taken I cann't praise it.
Without saying anything more I only want to say that we should have hope for better & brighter India.

JAI HIND

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO YOU FRIEND

your blog and the news of hosting of the green flag at the lal chowk in srinagar...together dampened the spirit of this independence day
........but all we can do is curse the politicians for watsoever is happening in our country.....no one wants to acknowledge wat is his /her share towards the development and betterment of the country

in a seminar one indian argued "adem n eve were indians"
"how?"others questioned
"because at that time they have no home,nocloths,no food.still they were thinking they are in the heven."we are not chenged today also though our people got place in fortun magzins,our farmers are opting sueside and in remote people are dying "cause of hunger.

It's not that bad as you are projecting.the mind set has to be altered ,it is our system which does bring this frustrating and pessimistic outlook but their is an silver lining to every thing so start looking at the brighter side too.
