Light for All

Chongtham Ronikumar *



I am half mad in the eyes of people
Not so in reality !
The omnipotent know everything.
Sun rises from the east
And this organic matter is created for all
Including living and non living things and
Sets down in the west .
Nevertheless, soul is the form of the creator
It gives assent for innate and acquired abilities
Without any bias
Standing for limitless truth permanently
Like an unconquerable positive race of knowledge righteously.
I am a participant in writing an epic
Based on available resources in my humble locality
One day , everybody will realise its originality
Whether it can be considered or not
For the sake of mankind ?
Wise backbenchers can be considered for an order in the world too
Irrespective of personal backgrounds
Because they know mistakes
If utilised correctly to filter and revive conscious minds .
Parents are also teachers, though not professionally
Medicine is invented by doctors and scientists
Like Sir Ronald Ross to fight malaria.
Though it is so,
Kind words and movements of parents like good instructions
Make me feed natural or artificial milk and food
To bring me up to see the world
So , education is better than just health ,
Sir Nobel laureate Amartya Sen!
Bharat has tremendous and beautiful vehicles
And we lack of kind hearted drivers to utilise it consequently
As we are a nuclear country
To defend our constitution and sovereignty of us
In order to ignite minds and a developed nation.
I was born like an empty vessel
Gradually this vessel maintains continuity forever
In lieu of perseverance to acquire knowledge in a balanced mode
As I imitate the actions of Huidrom Pusparani ,
A legendary singer of Kangleipak
Like Bharat Ratna ,Late Lata Mangeshkar .
In a nutshell , everyone starts from a zero to a hero
Am I wrong?
Her excellency Madam Droupadi Murmu,
The incumbent President of India .
