To the lights that blazed on streets,

The fire that sounded in their heads.

To the love that was there,

And the one that pretended to be there.

To Eagles, Dylan and Straits,

Eliot, Dickens and the rest.

To my nation and the tricoloured flag

Feeling proud despite what isn't there.

To a room that became the world

And words that lashed out like swords.

To belief and loosing faith

Life, death and all that jazz.

To laughter that echoes in our ears

And eyes that made you touch the sky.

To revoulutions and their revolutionaries

The ones who brought hope to a million hearts.

To that one song that took your breath away,

And those few words that left you spellbounded for the rest of the day.

To utter chaos and board examinations

And overrated and overpriced education systems.

To winning and losing,

Past, present and the future.

To falling in love and getting heartboken.

To falling in love all over again,

Attaining new heights of impossibilities.

To making sense out of the senseless

And love out of nothing at all..

To methods of madness and potato heads,

To pot bellies and long legs!!

To Ma and Pa,

For pocket money and the rest.

To dreams and illusions.

To joy and happiness.

To ecstacy and bliss.

To disiilusionment and sorrow.

To grief and bitterness.

To the explainanble and undecipherable.
