Life of a Farmer

Avudaiammal Balakrishnan Konar (FYBAF)

Farmer O Farmer,
You are a real warrior,
You work in heat and cold

And show no sign of pain
Farmer O Farmer,
You are the strength of a nation

Hard-work is your passion,
A simple person devoid of fashion
Farmer O Farmer,

You produce grain
You look forward to see the rst rain
Farmer O Farmer,

You serve humanity
Yet live in poverty

What a contrariety!
Your suicide is a shame on society
It is an impropriety, an irony.

Discovering Oneself

Manasvi Mahajan (TYBCA)

When your self-doubts pull you down, introspect

Are your problems bigger than your dreams?

Is your work your passion or an afiction?

Is your dream an ambition or plain fantasy?

Shed no tears, shed your fears

Stand tall with faith and grit

Be the miracle you desire should happen

Shape the fate you want to make

Self- assess, self-motivate – be self-made.

“It is our attitude at the beginning of a difcult task
which, more than anything else, will affect its 121
successful outcome.” (William James) 2019-20
