                                                    ENDLESS ROADS


                                             I went on wandering o' road
                                            As I always found a new one
                                      Some lent me a hand and dragged me to them...
                                           And some chased me even they are
                                                   always with me...

                                  **********************************

                                               Wandering and wandering,
                                            One day I reached a city where
                                         "illusion" and "salvation" resided.
                                              Both of them tempted much,
                                       All dressed up waiting at their doorways
                                               to embrace the travelers.

                                       Some rolling in those endless circles of
                                             " illusion" of "salvation" .
                                             Some beating loud drums of
                                            "salvation" from "illusion" .
                                             I failed to understand both....

                                                How come I know,
                                    That one complimented the existence of another.
                                   Soon I left behind the city of  "illusion" and "salvation".
                             
                                *****************************************


                                             I went on wandering o' road
                                             As I always found a new one.....

THOUGHTS ON INDEPENDENCE DAY:


Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depths of truth
where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever widening thought and action
into that heaven of freedom, my father let my country awake.....
      -RABINDRANATH TAGORE

These powerful words of Rabindra nath Tagore have not lost their significance even 70 years have elapsed since independence.Women are unsafe outside-Freedom of speech is in jeopardy- Society broken into segments on the basis of caste and religion.
 
  Well-let me dive into depths of time
And bring out the ages,that have rolled.
A few small fragments of these wrecks sublime
Which human eye may never more behold...

-HENRY LOUIS VIVIAN DEROZIO

So in remembrance with those great freedom fighters of India who have sacrificed their lives for achieving this Independence we should unite and pledge for a better India.We should rethink and reassesss our position and strive to remove all the hinderances in our path in acheiving that "heaven of freedom".

 On this Independence day,I wish that we break ourselves from these draconian notions and strive forward towards making India a land of opportunities, a hub where people from all over the worldwould come to live and learn.
