Individual brilliance

a Sachin Tendulkar

a Sania Mirza

1 Ramanujan

a Hrithik Roshan

and a Kangana Ranaut

there’s  Kabali

and there’s Tithi

a common heritage

a grouse, a grudge

a cause for pride

a cause for anger

a faith too many

a language as many

progress, yes

wisdom no!

individual brilliance, aplenty

collective failure, every single time!!!

yet  hope flickers in Bezwada Wilson

in T M Krishna

in APJs of tomorrow.
