SHE was a woman of substance,
She always knew her stance
Handled the world correctly
Never left anything to chance.
No favours ever granted
No favours did she ask,
She made the world notice
And sit up with a Gasp!!!
Put India on the world map
Brought nations to salute
Had she lived a little more
In our own pot, we wouldn't have stewed !
She knew how to handle
Her prodigal countrymen,
OH! only if she would have lived
We'd have reached ,that golden bend
Where !!
We would not have borrowed
Instead we would have lent
SHE was Indira Gandhi
The woman of substance
Lovely! I couldnt agree more. My father always quotes one of her favourite lines in Bengali which became the motto of a generation. She said " Aashoon amra kaje lege jayi" meaning. come let us get to work. I remember these words whenever I am faced with obstacles. Work is the only worship.
