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]

Attack in Mumbai

Recent terrorist attacks in India are so miserable and heinous, that it put me in great confusion, annoyance and anger cosidering the phase country is going through. Recent attack in Mumbai, Financial Hub of our country has made the point very strong that these terrorists are no more a human beings. I do not know what it would have felt to those who were victims of this accident and those who lost their beloved. I sincerely feel sorry for those who lost their lives in this horrible attack and hope early recovery of those who suffered from injuries.

Winning in life and winning life - The attitude

Nothing is local if it has global appeal and has an impact on everybody.. just like Bajigar’s dialogue… Sometimes..haar ke jeetne vaalon ko baajigar kehte hai … an international appeal. Winning - a concept, a challenge, a struggle for many,,, Winning in everything… winning in games,,,,winning in career,,,, winning in arguments….winning in family, winning in love.. Winning in life and winning life……, 95 percent people die without knowing the difference between them. As far as my understanding goes, I can only give some differences between two…. Arguing with others..to win the discussion…winning in life Arguing with others .. to discuss… winning life Fighting with elders or younger ones…to dominate… winning in life Fighting with elders or younger ones….to give them an enlightening path… winning life Keeping quite… just to keep yourself safe.. winning in life Speaking loud… to save others… winning life Taking up a job…. For money… winning in life Taking up a job…. For satisfying work… win...

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???
