[nukkad] My favourite thoughts for this August 15th

["indian rediff" <>]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 If God created us in his own image, we have more than 
reciprocated. -Voltaire, philosopher (1694-1778)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As I have done before, I would like to once again, hope and wish for a hopeful future for the country that I once used to call my motherland. (To those that are curious: I am now a US citizen. I had to give up one mother to keep another close to me)

I will quote the famous poem by Rabindranath Tagore

I look forward to the day when his dream will be fulfilled.

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 lead forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action--
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

Indian (Sai)
