My most inspiring poem




Some say 2012 is the end of the world, while others believe that it would herald an era of spiritual awakening. Me? I would like to believe in the latter and if there is one wish which I would truly want to come true, it would be EVERY line of Tagore’s poem!

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.
