WELCOME, DEAR ANUSHKA!

On March 23, 2011, at 19.10 PM (LA, California Time, USA), a girl child was born in our family---This time, it was my son and DIL, who were blessed with the child. We heartily welcome her to our family fold. And I scribbled these lines welcoming her!




O' dear 'Anushka'! Welcome to this small world of ours!
You have illuminated our lives like divine powers;
Always, this month of March 2011 we shall adorn-
For, on its 23rd day, our cute little princess was born;
It was four and half years wait for you to show intent-
Excited and thrilled, your parents just could not pretend;
Grooming you as a 'good human' would be their vision---
As you grow from a bubbling infant to a graceful citizen.

You would sure be the cynosure of your grandparent’s eyes,
Your eloquence and elegance would enhance their pride;
Matters not if you were born far away from your native land,
Even in Los Angeles, you would represent 'Kushwaha- brand';
In the 'United States of America', as you would slowly grow,
Your lively graces and 'Indian' beauty would definitely show;
When your fame and achievements on the time-curve meander --
People would ask, "Is she the grand-daughter of 'Raj & Rajinder"?

I know Abhilash and Ketki would have their own expectations,
So would Ajit and Anjali, flirt with their meticulous calculations;
Success and glory would touch your feet as time moves on--
You would sure attain the heights, where none had ever gone;
To needy friends, you shall be an oasis in the desert of their lives;
To the evil minds, sense of goodness you would definitely imbibe;
You shall be the hope of the world tormented by violence and hate,
You shall guide the humanity for its final tryst with desirable fate.

May you shine like a brightest star, your whole life through?
May success and fame be yours to take, in whatever you do?
May you imprint your name on all spheres of human activities-----
May you sail through crisis and conflicts with vigor and vitality?
May you spearhead mankind’s march into the coming cosmic age?
May you ensure that hatred and wars no more be a human craze?
I,as your grandfather,wish you to lead a life full of glorious times!
May Anushka become a divine light that heals the minds of crime!
