My Library

Where the mind is without fear & the head is held high....

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high , Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake !!! Excerpts from a poem of RabindraNath Tagore The 1st & the last line are the one which always stay in my mind..I guess they explain everything we all are striving for. I heard this poem 1st time when I was in school still donn remember in which class. Sr. Julia our english singing teacher made us sing this poem as a song and slowly it became the source of energy for me like many other things.I guess its a favourite one for you too as thats why you are reading my blog :) Well I don't want to discuss my views on this song over here , just wanted all to remember this song for a moment !!! Into that heaven of freedom dear God let everyone awake....

The joys of life

Have been thinking of writing for along time...but yes i do enjoy dream sequences specially the early mornings one..which keep you back in bed..and snuggle a little more ...had been doing that quite a lot and actually want to get out of it and putting those dreams or thoughts to action...someone wise said that early morning dreams come true but then i do would need to earn it..or rather shorten its journey towards me by doing my bit and walking half way... Life as i always say has been a roller coaster ride for me...it has adventure, fun, gloom, love, spice, melodrama, sorrow, revelations...so instead of fighting back and being a stubborn child i've started to accept more than to run away...but i cannot avoid questioning at times... I 'm kindoff coming out of the filmy set of only good would happen...yes have studied it since childhood but to accept in reality is difficult to digest.. You feel once you have climbed a mountain thats it...but it isn't true...you would get ...
