I
am tempted to imitate an excellent and famous verse by Rabindranath Tagore
“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”.
–by Rabindranath Tagore
My imitated version on
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”.
–by Rabindranath Tagore
My imitated version on
‘Living
life and setting down in life’
Where life is lived and leads us out of
these compulsions:
Where life is made to pass through motions
of /phases of existence
So
that it can settle down somehow, somewhere in some way;
Where life’s activities have to confirm to
existing approved labels;
Where life is deprived of any unbiased
free observations;
Where life’s relationships are confined by
narrow expectations of reciprocation;
Where life is subjected to scrutiny with
ulterior motives and hidden agendas;
Where life’s interactions happen with
lurking suspicions and simmering discontent;
Where life’s inter relatedness goes
unnoticed because of narrow identity cages;
Let us live a life observing, experiencing
and enjoying as it unfolds continuously flowing like a gentle river without
settling down;
Let us enjoy the playful innocence of
childhood;
Let us enjoy the carefree abandon of
youth;
Let us learn the pleasures, privileges and
responsibility of blossoming adulthood;
Let us enjoy romance and relate with love;
Let us experience the inter relatedness of
everything and everyone;
