By Rabindra Nath Tagore

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.

Rabindra Nath Tagore

Nice thought Mr. Harsh! But I have a view on that too! If the number of people will keep on increasing in a particular place or city, there comes one point where the opportunity ceases. In the process of urbanization we have to sometime restrict the infusion of [Many] number of people migrating to that city. It is for this reason, for the example you gave, of Mumbai, we have such a huge number of population living below standard and the so called slum area....so many beggars, that the city is not able to take them all...However, this thing doesn't look practical in places like India where people migrate to places where they feel they can get jobs and eventually are jobless and being jobless increase the crime rate in the city....! This is possible in other countries like USA or any other European country where the person needs to show a valid reason for getting into a state which is already so much populated or has reached his limit!
[This is just a thought]

For My Sweetheart

A heart so beautiful, a heart so cheerful. A heart which brings delight, a heart which ignites. A heart which loves, a heart which feels, a heart which kneels. A heart so childish, a heart with lots of wishes. A heart so mighty, which holds mind tightly. Big decisions coming from heart, a person never retards. A heart makes friends, a heart removes pains. A heart touches you, a heart becomes yours. Heart loves heart, that’s for sure. A heart so beautiful, a heart so cheerful. A heart beat, a life A heart beat, an eternity......... A heart, a science A heart, a conscience................ A heart, create differences A heart, makes differences............... A heart, sells for a pence. A heart, just fragrance.................. A beautiful heart, a sweet heart.................

A dream killed and a dream fulfilled

It was bright night, I was sleeping as usual and dreaming. After such a long time, I was seeing such a horrible dream. So finally i got at 4:30 AM, got freshed and thought of going for a jog. I was enthusiast and thought of going outside. It was like a dream which was going to get fulfilled. A line came in my mind :A dream(horrible) killed and a dream fulfilled (jogging). I was very happy that today i am going to do it. And thought of writing a blog about my activity, thinking that others will appreciate it. Mean while i went to bed, laid down...... and fell asleep..... Ting tong...... I woke up at 9:00 AM.... So finally it was a dream killed, and a dream crushed..... but still i fulfilled my wish to write a blog.... Do you know moral of the story???
