I’m not sure

I’m not sure What love is,But I know Kindness is pure.In the end,What changes the story, What matters totally,Is how well you treatThe one you claim to loveIn thought, word & deed.

Happy Republic Day India!

May we move forward, Stronger,surer,together.May we move forward,To progress and prosper.May our diversityBring us strength greater, Make our minds grow richer,May we stride with pride,Holding hands of each other.

Diwali wishes

May the bright lightOf knowledge and wisdom Enshrine in your heartDay after dayThe colours mayCheer your mindAnd may you prosperIn every way.HAPPY DIWALI TO YOU
