A Faithful Companion-W
A time when women dressed as queens
And the queens used to ride like warriors
Men fought to live and lived to fight
And never went gently into that night.
To ride a *Marwari horse is to know the **Rajputs
To view a pair of perfectly curved ears
To see the twilight world of*** Rajasthan
To create frenzy of festivals a thousand and one.
To see Rajasthan, a gateway to the heart of
India’s spiritual and ceremonial heritage
.
Even in heaven horses are respected.
An old man and his horse came to a gate.
Man at the gate said, “Welcome to heaven
but animals are not allowed, Sorry!”
The old man ready to spend eternity outside.
as horse has been a faithful companion.
They came to a run down fence with no gate
A man invited, offering all the comforts of life
Smiling a big smile said, “Welcome to heaven”
The old man asked, "Is this heaven?"
The gate where you inquired is devil’s hell
He allows people ready to give up companion.
The old man asked, “Do you allow animals?”
Yes,”HE created animals to be men’s companions”.
