View elation in the dance
Feel happiness in the laughter,

In beloved families...

His kiths, like allies, consciously hitting;
Father-in-law, in his way commanding,

Neighbors mocking at physical darkness,
Her skinny dullness and financial weakness;
Her aspiration to be fullness gone,
Seeds of hatred in each...

He had no stethoscope, notebook,

from now....."

This innocent bird flew towards the promised land

Ode to ARPIT
The Chelsea's cheer,
Still I use to hear;
The Germany's counterattack gear,
Brought Spain into dilemma of fear;
