Where the mind is without fear

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 depth 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

Perplexed!!

A second freedom movement is going on all over the country. A movement against corruption,to punish the white collar people who are always masked because of their high cadre,but possess a white collar in corruption too.Anna Hazare is the man,who took the initiative along with some of his fellow members . They have framed a so called Jan-Lokpal Bill which is ammendment to the earlier Lokpal bill framed by the government some time back.The new Lokpal bill is the need of the hour as they say and about 92 % of the countrymen are supporting the cause.

The point of my bewilderedness is whether this is actually an apt bill ? Does it contain all the points that would make India corruption free in the near future ? Would it really change the mindset of people who pay bribes just to make their work done at the earliest or perhaps when it is nt possible at all? Is it really going to make the inhuman humans or the government corruption free ? Will just the fear of getting castigated change the money minded politicians? Or who assures, the government after passing of this bill would  be corruption free  or the people would not be corrupt anymore ?
To take a simple example: We bribe traffic policeman just to get ourselves rid off the challans. Or what about the fake medical bills or the telephone bills we make in order to get them reimburse from the Employers. Are we not corrupt ? Let us eradicate corruption at our individual level first. Corruption free India consists of corruption free people  and not just only corruption free government . The real  supporters would be those who take a pledge that they would not take or give bribe ,would not make fake bills,etc  and then only you are a real supporter of this cause.

Well, seeing it with an optimistic eye, I supported him. Knowing about the bill and thinking that it would revolutionize , I supported the passing of the bill and infact gone to the candle march held here.

But, to my surprise, even after following the march, something striked my mind.
Is it the apt way in actuality? Would it not give a kind of direction to anyone who wants to make his work done on emotional grounds? For instance ,anyone would blackmail the government and say "do this for me else i would fast unto death" or a group of people forcing to pass a law made by them or else they would start the similar fast.

Some things are making me muddle headed and I am not able to get across the dilemma.
Any help or views on this would be appreciated.

gems of life

friends are a part of life

with them,u learn the art of life

u play with them..

do lots of masti..

time changes ,,

when you become a famous personality

forget how much they used to care

meetings with them are very rare..

lonely ,, some day you think of them..

N all the old buddies come to mind..

desperately u want to talk to them..

if only they have some time..

Alas! but the same scenario is there

they are busy, no time to spare..

you feel lonely, you feel sad

if only u cud have maintained some contact..

now you realize, now you repent..

those days were awesome,with friends you spent..

never lose diamonds, collecting stone(s)

for friends are gems,if their value is known..

Never let this happen in your life..

give them time, with full delight..

those people are blessed,who have good friends..

for not all are capable ,of keeping gems..

enjoy your life with your best buddies,,

feel proud that you are so much lucky..

show your friends how much you care

as people like them are very rare..

time will change but should not your feelings..

else will enter your life only sufferings and hurtings..

stay blessed and happy with your best pals..

remember on earth they are the only angels..

choice.....

Life is full of choices
Make sure you pick the right one
Don't listen to the voices
Hear only yours and you have won

Many people will tell you
You need to change your looks
Don't take to heart their view
Fabulous bods are found only in books

There is only one voice
That you should listen to
It will help make the right choice
That is perfect just for you

Your looks are your own
Someone will always love you
You will never be alone
Look in the mirror and you'll see who

A promise..

As you sit in silence,
Wondering why
I'll be your shoulder to cry on
Until your tears run dry.

When you've been hurt,
And can't believe what they've done
If you need someone to talk to
I'll be the one.

If a close friend hurts you,
And you don't understand
Remember I'm here,
I'll lend a helping hand.

Burdens are lighter when carried by two,
And I just want you to know
I'm here for you.
