Theme: A Quite Mind
Author: Dr. Debabrata Maji
Country: India
A space within deep does lie,
Restless thoughts begin to die.
A lake so still and a sky so vast,
Burdens fade when joy lasts.
The mind is filled with noise,
Calm finds its truest ever joys.
Stillness always finds its place,
The hush has a tranquil space.

Title: The Values of Our Roots
Author: Dr. Debabrata Maji
Country: India
An ancient tree with branches reached high,
Our roots run deep as wisdom learns to lie.
They are the whisper of our first soft breath,
The echoes of our kin are defying death.
A humble start of a story told in time,
The tears and lessons are hard to climb.
Nurturing hands have shaped infant days,
Still the moral compass has lit the way.
Paths diverge and distances expand,
Our roots hold firm with our loving hand.
A sense of place where heritage is defined,
A silent promise in heart and soul entwined.
They are bedrock when tempests blow,
The unseen strength helps our spirit grow.
The soil of our first lives has taken hold,
The true values of our souls unfold.
Never forget to honor they have given,
The steadfast core may help us truly live.
Our roots are a lifeline strong with true,
A constant guide in all we can say do.
