From Millennium City, I came to roam,

To City Beautiful, my new home.

I bowed to ‘Maa Chandi’, with a heart so true,

And Chandigarh welcomed me, as one of its own anew.

It taught me to face myself, and spread my wings,

To soar to heights, where my spirit sings.

The sky's the limit, it showed me the way,

To fly high, and seize each new day.

My radio show, "Spirituality with Shikha Sharma" did shine,

On FM and Spotify, a message divine.

Fame came quickly, but love stays near,

Gratitude from deep breath, forever I'll hold dear.

Chandigarh's love, I'll never forget,

A city that touched my soul, and made me its ‘asset’.

I'll carry its lessons, wherever I go,

Forever grateful, to this city I know.

Shikha Sharma, Chandigarh

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
