It’s Thirteen 
By Sikiladi 

A time to celebrate 
A paper immaculate 
It’s buzzing! 
It’s Jamming !
It’s entering its teens
With all its moods
And a dozen years’ experience 
It’s gonna rock towards youth
It’s vibrant!
It’s jubilant!
It’s celebrating achievements 
Picking up new strengths 
Appearing now on Threads
It’s joyous!
It’s famous!
With the population 
Fitting in the scribe world
With the latest fashion trend
It’s bubbly!
It’s chirpy!
Being the society’s forefront 
Joining hands with communities 
Highlighting the socio cultural blend 
It’s innovative!
It’s informative!
With casting news from all ends
Keeping you up to date
With television, movies and all events
It’s colorful!
It’s eventful!
With an enthusiastic teamwork 
It marks its vivid presence
Reaching each doorstep with a quirk
It’s zesty!
It’s spicy!
Picking delicious scoops & stories 
From domestic to Global coverage
Reaching IIFA , reporting Oscars
It’s Witty!
It’s Smarty!
With sports and economic spreads
Glimpses into the financial facts & assets
Advising even on legal aspects
It’s Thirteen!
It’s Thirteen!
The Asian Weekly is growing 
Having crossed the childhood years
Let’s celebrate it’s big birthday 
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!
To the baby yours and ours
Wishing it to extend its territories 
And going across many boundaries
