A million contradiction

Sometimes, I pray to Ram
Sometimes, I pray to Allah
Sometimes, I wear a turban
Sometimes, I wear a cross
Yet, I am an atheist

Sometimes, I eat steamy idli
Sometimes, I eat spicy chola
Sometimes, I eat sweet kheer
Sometimes, I eat thepla
Yet, I dont have any taste

Sometimes, I am the greenery of farms
Sometimes, I am the brown of the desert
Sometimes, I am the blue of the ocean
Sometimes, I am the white of the snow
Yet, I have no color

Sometimes, I despair in the crowd
Sometimes, I feast on the cosmic space
Sometimes, I have the company of few
Sometimes, I embrace a stranger
Yet, I have no family

Sometimes, I am orthodox
Sometimes, I am in vogue
Sometimes, I follow traditions
Sometimes, I break them
Yet, I have an identity

I wept when Mumbai burnt
I leaped when Dhoni lifted the cup
I hated when regionalism took its own course
I triumphed when Bindra hit the bulls eye
Yet, I am a common man

In this time of disgusting politics of regionalism and morality.
In this time of terrorism and corruption.
In this time of insecurity and desperation.
I AM PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN & A INDIAN ONLY!!
