letter to my motherland
Answers
I don’t know what I am feeling. There is plenty of things in the bottom of my heart and I think you must be feeling the same way. You have broken the chain of slavery 6 decades ago. But do you feel like being free? The citizens of this country are free but not you my mother..nor me..your son. Here is Constitution,Parliament, law and order not to make your children free but to rule them. Becoming slaves of our own blood is dream which haunts me the most these days. Everyone is desperate to hike power by selling all the sacrifices of your brave kids. Politicians are blaming each other without caring if someone is doing right or wrong. Bureaucrats are taking bribes and government employees getting good salary are making poor people cry for their ‘cut’. Breakup and link ups of celebs occupying a large area of front page and sacrifice of soldiers is being ignored. Persons who are capable are shifting abroad. But I don’t want to leave you there is no escape from the heat of fire which is burning my home. I’m not going to leave you. I don’t know how much capable I’m but I will wipe your tears till my last drop of blood. I promise.

Dear Motherland,
I have no habit of saying freely what I think but, you know, deep inside my trembling heart and soul there is something that keeps telling me to express my feelings and emotions towards you. It does not matter what other people think about you, but for me, you are the best motherland, whenever I keep my eyes on bright stars in the darkness, I always think about how's your life is going on, my Motherland. When I am asleep, I see your joy, silent walk, calm smile and whatnot, but never see you when I am awake, indeed, a thousand times I have failed to elicit the fact from you, my Motherland.
I am proud of myself because I was born in the interior of your area. For the first time when I opened up my eyes as a newborn baby, I saw your indescribable beauty, a new lovely universe. To take care of me, you have sent two honourable people like mother and father.
The sound of your blue ocean waves, the river stream with the sound of dynamic waterfalls, the beautiful valley of flowers, the beautiful snow-capped and evergreen mountains, the beautiful nimbus clouds, the sound of rain falling, the scenery of rainbow, the secret song of hidden birds, the shadows of tall trees always gives me a sense of comfort. You have given us the gift of the surface of the sand where we plant trees for food, make the habitation and shelter. A big, heartfelt thank you for all this.
Your love and care towards your son and daughters fill my eyes with tears. You expect nothing in return from us, but I assure you I will do anything you order because I understand your pain and helplessness, please do not cry, my dear motherland. Maybe some people just born to eat and live, do not worry about them. I will never forget my responsibility towards you. I do not care whether I fail and succeed, but I will leave no stone unturned to shine you, my dear motherland. If necessary, I am ready to give my blood and die for you. Keep smiling.
Your loving son,
An Indian.
