I - A little about me

I come from a faraway land

Where the sky is vast and the stars are bright

Where the soul is free and life flourishes in the midst of a desert

I am from Rajasthan, land of colors and boisterous festivities

I am second born to a lovely family 

I am a girl with hope and compassion 

With dreams high and desire to learn, I stepped into college 

Brought out the leadership qualities to the fore 

And put the enormous potential into action 

Then there was time for another chapter 

The little bird finally left the comforting nest 

And there I was with new wings to fly and explore the world 

Ups and down, twist and turns; I have seen them all in life 

Learn from the lows and grow with the highs 

But still stay grounded to the core that’s the gist of my life 

I am a girl who never quits and will try again and again 

I am a ship that sails and rides the billows wild and free 

With the wind I sail and roar against the fierce storm 

I am a bird trying to fly beyond the horizon 

Even though it has been hard on the path to here 

And you may see me struggle but you will never see me fall 

Like the ocean whose tides many times they are down 

But invariably they rise, from nadir to the crest 

With more vigor than before; more hungrier than ever 

And now that I have learnt to overcome the odds

Here I am again, to learn as I grow and contribute in every way I can

Knowing where I came from, going somewhere I wish to be

A bridge in my journey, I am determined to cross

To be able to touch the sky and fly beyond

A step closer to the sky; a step closer to my dream..
