Happy Diwali 2019 !!



Let the light of life glow
Beaming with love
With every one having a reason
To be happy fulfilling their vision.

With out shadow of discrimination
Building a strong Nation
Where each one having faith and trust with other
Having no room to bother with fear..

Leading kind and simple life
Holding happily to their belief
Let the festival of light
In each of our heart shine bright.
