Poem: October Two

People look for the Gandhi inside me,
They want to know how much I resemble him.
They want to know how much I follow him,
Is there any co-relation between date of birth and personalities?
They do this; I know why they do,
Because I was born on October two.

He was a great thinker and a great man,
Everyone respects him, everyone is his fan.
But I have a personality which is unique,
May not be that great. But that me!
I know myself and that’s why putting all the perceptions away,
And that’s how I am great in my own way.
I have nothing more to say, nothing to prove,
Just that “Wish me. Today is my B’Day. Today is October Two”
