Our Revered Ones

The entire class assembled at

The school ground

A new pretty teacher waited

One of you has to march and say

Bharat Mata ki

Many wee kids following shalt

Say Jai

Nobody came forward, as usual

I had to

You're to rehearse

No need I said, perform then

Tots were summoned, I did

At the Cricket Stadium in a 

Kurta Pyjama and Nehru cap

With the Adminstrator our beloved Lieutenant General Jack Farj Rafael Jacob PVSM, as the chief guest

I astounded and enthralled

He'd never seen anything like it

Right before the auditorium

The former Chief of Army overtook me

Wife in tow behind me

Happens frequently except this

I went along with

Unforgettable

It was General Ved Prakash Malik

I sat near our most revered

In the front row

They showered me with love
