My sisters and I

Dear passer by, please wait,
Listen to our story, before it is too late,
Me and my sisters, you call us lakes,
Witnesses to progress in human fate,

Our connections severed by mounts of concrete.
Poisoned by wastes of human existence,
are silently dying.
Our friends, the birds, fishes and insects
Centuries of close bonding
dying with us.
A mass mourning?

Small groups work tirelessly
fearing for us.
A peep into their field books
Documenting our doom?

Dear city dweller,
Can you reverse this sorrowful tale?
then…..
you have to claim us as your own,
keep us in your thoughts,
your stories to your children,
your future missions and songs of change,
and…
Give our city a happy ending.

Lakshmi Kumar
She is a faculty member of Inventure Academy.

Loneliness

Like another victim of insomnia
I sit distraught.
A vast emptiness stares at me,
Like a dying fish, it’s fraught.

The only path of air left,
Felt like an unknown hand had grasped.
Snatching it away! Swift it is…
And the time still ticked, as the pain lapsed.

A melody of a sort, a repetition of a kind;
Creates ripples in the still lake of my heart.
It confronted my silent, strangling solitude.
It pierced like a poisoned dart.

There was no warmth here;
In this cold, distorted scene
‘Cause where I sat nothing touched me;
Even the strongest rays faced the screen.

By
Asha Venugopalan
Grade 12

(Asha began writing poetry 4 years ago and has made her mark as a poet at an international level. Her poem `Loneliness' has been shortlisted for publication in the The Poetry Rivals Competition Anthology 2010, UK.)

The India Week-A Visual Treat of Indian Splendour

Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people,
dispenser of India's destiny.
Thy name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sind,
Gujarat and Maratha,
Of the Dravida and Orissa and Bengal;
It echoes in the hills of the Vindyas and Himalayas,
mingles in the music of Jamuna and Ganges and is
chanted by the waves of the Indian Sea.
They pray for thy blessings and sing thy praise.
The saving of all people waits in thy hand,
thou dispenser of India's destiny.
Victory, victory, victory to thee.
