PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN: FESTIVALS OF INDIA

VALUE YOUR TIME

To comprehend a man's life, it is necessary to know not merely what he does but also what he purposely leaves undone. There is a limit to the work that can be got out of a human body or a human brain, and he is a wise man who wastes no energy on pursuits for which he is not fitted; and he is till wiser who, from among the things that he can do well, chooses and resolutely follows the best.
John Hall Gladstone

IF THESE STONE MONUMENTS COULD TELL A TALE.

DEDICATED TO THE ORDINARY PEOPLE WHO BUILT THESE WONDRS OF HISTORY

A POEM WRITTEN BY CLUELESSNAN

LOOK AT THE MONUMENTS SO COLD AND SO STILL
MADE BY PEOPLE WITH OUT MUCH SKILL,
BUT HERE THEY STAND TO THE TEST OF TIME THE STONES
SINGING A SONG WITH REALLY NO RHYME
FOR THE STORY BEHIND THESE BEAUTIFUL STONE
LIES A LOT OF TRADGEDY,
THAT NO ONE REALLYKNOWS.
FOR A QUENN TO BE PUT TO REST
A MARBLE MARVEL A KING DID ERECT,
THE MINAR THE MAHAL, AND
THE TEMPLES YOU SEE
ARE ALL WONDERS YOU ALL WILL AGREE.
BUT WE LOOK AT THESE MARVELS AND
REMEMBER A QUEEN,
FORGETTING THE BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS
SHED BY HUMANS, WHO HAVE TOILED WITH NO REST.
NEXT TIME YOU LOOK AT THESE MARVELS
SPARE A THOUGHT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO BUILT THE BEST
