AATHREYA - SOJOURN

[Guest guest]

AATHREYA – USA and INDIA

 

Aathreya it has been quite a while away in USA

 

Bala Krishna a little while ago is back in India

 

From USA after a two year gap

 

Back in India to Mother's lap

 

Jet lag to overcome with a nap

 

A goodwill sojourn in USA for two years

 

How the time flies , for none it waits

 

Bridging the distance between two nations

 

Winging back to India over two oceans

 

Flying USA to India over two continents

 

Assimilating the best of two civilizations

 

Leaving behind the memories of 2008 in the past

 

Looking forward to a Happy New 2009 the present

 

What a welcome change and what a contrast

 

From the land of plenty and utilities

 

To the land of plurality and diversities

 

From the land of solitudes

 

To the land of multitudes

 

Two lands of multi ethnicity

 

Love both as a single entity

 

From a nation of 300 million

 

To a country of one billion

 

All belong to one human population

 

From the land of snow and rain

 

To the land of sunshine

 

From SUVs, ORVs, ATVs, Humvees

 

To bullock carts , rikshaws and autos

 

Fords and Lincolns to Ambassadors and Tatas

 

From trucks, trailers, freight cars and Amtraks

 

To lorries, mopeds , goods trains and Rajdhanis

 

I love them all and what a welcome change

 

From the land of right side travel with me in the

 

left side driving seat, where driving is science perfect

 

To the land of left side travel with myself in the

 

right side driving seat , where driving is an art subject.

 

To the all familiar scene of street dogs who for me have no respect

 

Happy to see holy cows towards whom I have a lot of respect

 

I look forward to a peaceful tranquil stay me being an optimist

 

I am Murthy thanks to al;l far away yet near for ever

 

with boundless affection for all those near and dear.
