Window

 Through this window glass

I stare out for many answers

I feel the crispy wind 

And I see the birds

I look for the possibilities outside

And the truth inside

Or is it the window to my soul

I see the clouds glide above the window

Why is there a pane of glass 

Separating me from the truth and tears of joy 

You complement each day of my life

You're indeed my soul 

And the soul of my existence...Col Pradeep Pendyala

Christmas has arrived

 When you taste first slice of cake 

When your parents are planning a special surprise

When the balls of red and gold allowed to shine

When you start hearing familiar Christmas carols

When the wintry sun appears with a sleepy head

When stars appear shivering in the sky

When St Nicholas comes down the chimney

When you start decorating the Christmas tree

When you find everywhere ribbons, packages and boxes

When there's thrill of hope

And your world rejoices 

Christmas has truly arrived

FIFA World Cup

 My world is abuzz with soccer

The spirit of football everywhere

I've a thought

That would never go away 

Argentina has ruled the roost

Though I couldn't give a hoot

My heart goes to Mbappé

He did win : people's hearts

And a Golden Boot
