Give Me Strength ....
Tagore
This is my prayer to thee, my lord---
strike at the root of penury in my heart.
Give me the strength lightly to bear my joys and sorrows.
Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service.
Give me the strength never to disown the poor
or bend my knees before insolent might.
Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifles.
And give me the strength to surrender my strength to thy will with love.
-- Rabindranath Tagore
(From Geetanjali, 1910)

Where The Mind is Without Fear ...
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.

India, a super power in the making
Mera Bharat Mahan
India was a land of Maharajas and Maharanis and peasants
Then came Clive from Britain who wanted to be a Maharaja too, so he called himself Lord Clive
He was really ambitious. He wished to become Emperor and he did
Then the Queen of England wanted a piece of the action so India was annexed to the British Empire -a jewel in her crown
Administering this land of Babel was a real pain
There was this guy called Mahatma Gandhi
(If they knew Hindi they would have called him Gandoo)
Whenever the British sneezed, he went into a fast unto death and the nation came to a halt …..
More laterrr …. Watch dis space ….
