My religion is Islam,
My language is Tamil!
My race, Dravidian!
So what? I am an Indian !!
Why would these roles
Ever clash or collide?
Father, son, husband, brother -
I am all of them, side by side!!
Ramayanam and Mahabaratham
Are the stories of my ancestors!
Sanga Ilakkiyam, Thyagaraja Keerthanas
Are my family Jewels !!
Yoga and Meditation
Are my spiritual Tools!
Rishis and Buddhas
Are my spiritual Gurus !!
Ganga is Mine!
Kaveri is Mine!
Himalaya is Mine!
And Kumari is Mine !!
All the Rajini fans
Whistle for Shivanna!
We cheer for Bahubali,
And we root for Kantara!!
Pongal and Vada
Is my national treasure!
Still can’t give up
Kolkata Rasagulla,
Hyderabadi Biriyani!!
Happy Independence Day!!
