India , My Pride

Indian peninsula is not unknown to you,
Not only land its sky is wonderful too.
Diverse in climate and culture and
Indians worship mother - nature.
‘Atithi devo bhav.’ is our code of conduct, this is what scriptures instruct.

My flag – The Tricolour.
Yummy cuisine.
Perfect ecosystem.
Rich religious growth and spirituality.
Incredible beliefs and customs.
Devotion and meditation.
Exotic wildlife and what not.

India has all colors of the rainbow,
Festivals, fun, love and respect have easy flow.

*‘Atithi devo bhav.’ means guest is god.

You are always welcome Andrea. India is a land of festivals, so you can visit anytime.... I live and work in Delhi ( the capital city).
