Where Am I From? Poem by Bijaya Pokhrel

‘Red' as deep as the blood of Gurkhas
And ‘Blue' as sky, the symbol of freedom.
Yes, this is where I'm from.

I'm from the basins of terai,
And the foot of the hills,
Ornamented with the mystic peaks of Himalayas

I'm from the land of customs and traditions
Where 100s of deities are believed
And varieties of cultures are celebrated

I'm from the land of dream
Standing at the top of the world,
Dressed with the natural beauties

This is where I'm from
And I'm proud, where I'm from.
Yes, Nepal is where I'm from.
