In Praise of Work

Srikanth aka Chika 1985 (Chennai)

Work is love and love is work.
Work gets gain while experiencing pain.
Work is hobby, when it is of no interest.
Work is crazy, to those who are not lazy.
Work is a feeling, if and only felt.
Work is a challenge, if and only met.
Work is a teacher, if and only learned.
Work is a boon, if only God wishes.
Work is Pride which makes our life to ride.
Work is Fun which makes us one.
