Greetings
Wish you a happy, very happy New Year,
A very peaceful, graceful New Year,
A very elevating, ennobling New Year.
In this world, ever becoming noisier and noisier,
Clever, clever and clever,
Shrewd, shrewd and shrewd,
I wish you a world of yours
Of in born charm, innately warm, inwardly calm.
In this world, ever becoming hot, hot and hot
A virtual separatist’s separating spot, a separatist's sport,
I wish you a world of yours
Integral, integrating, harmonizing, synthesizing
Soothing and smoothing, cheering and charming,
Like a mother’s heart for her children always smarting.
Dear Friend, Comrade and Fellow man!
I wish you a very happy new year of peace, prosperity and poise,
Of no nonsense and noise,
Where there is abundant liberty, opportunity and choice,
Where grace abounds, the gracious, as the only virtue, the only voice.
Man looks forward to man to be sanely in being,
God looks forward to man to be Manly in manning.
- Dr. V. Kondal Rao
