When I was 5 years old,
Sat in a cave,
I was hiding from those young friends
Playing hide and seek On those grassy fields
I fell down
I was so young then
Take me back to when 
I 
Found myself
Saw a new world
Made friends 
And lost them through the years
I have not seen the roaring rivers
Since so long I know
I have grown 
I can't wait to go home
I am on my way
Driving at 90
Down those country lanes 
Singing to "Tiny dancer"
And I miss the way 
You make me feel 
And It's real
We watched the sunset 
Over the mountains and the field

 16 years old 
Smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
Running from the law 
Through the backfields
And getting drunk with my friends
Had my first kiss on a Friday Night
I don't reckon I did it right 
I was so young then 
Take me back to when
We found 
Week-end jobs 
When we got paid
We would buy cheap spirits 
And drink them straight 
Me and my friends 
Have not thrown up in so long
Oh How we have grown
I can't wait to go home
I am on my way
Driving at 90
On those country lanes
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
And I miss the way 
You make me feel
And It's real
We watched the sunset 
Over the mountains and the field 
Hey hey ho
Over the mountains and the field (2)

 One friend left to sell clothes
One works down by the coast
One had two kids but lives alone
One's brother overdosed 
One's already on his second wife
One just barely getting by 
But These people raised me 
And I can't wait to go home
And I am on my way 
I still remember 
These old country lanes
When we didn't know the Answers
And I missed the way 
You make me feel 
It's real 
We watched the sunset 
Over the Mountains and the field
Hey hey ho
Over the Mountains and the field(2)

Back to "Unstable Governments" in India and its global implications

The General Election held every 5 years in India help its voters decide, their choice about who is going to lead it. It's the 7th largest country (in terms of area) in the world and the largest democracy in the world with a population of more than 1.4 billion people living there. It's one of the fastest growing economies of the world and recently in size it became the 3rd largest economy, overtaking the United Kingdom. Looking its increasing stature globally, these General Elections of India carry a massive impact in the geopolitical scenario of Asia Pacific as well as the entire world. So let's delve deeper into the results and what aftereffect it can have on a global scale. After having about 25 years of governments with unclear majorities, India was fortunate enough to have a government with a clear majority when Mr. Narendra Modi, became the Prime Minister of the country back in 2014. His party the Bharatiya Janata Party came into power winning 281 parliamentary seats o

My opinion on "Barkha Vs Arnab"

Barkha Dutt is one of those distinguished journalists of India, on whom we should feel proud about. Her program "We the people" telecast at 8 pm every sunday is an award-winning program, which reflects her high intellectual capacities. However, when it comes to the kashmir issue, she suddenly starts behaving in a different manner. During her last visit to srinagar, she randomnly gave "hugs" to so many unknown people,which showed her hidden desire of remaining close to all kinds of muslims. Here the word "kinds" has been used to show that she behaves very well with anti-India seperatists like Yasin Malik, Syed Gilani also, which she shouldnot. She has the time to interview those hulligans and stone-pelters who received minor injuries during their scuffles with J&k police. But she doesnot have the time and decency to interview the kith and keens of our martyred jawans. She shows sympathy towards traitors like Kanaiya too. It is this kind of strange, in

Modi's biggest Achievement

I just saw a documentary on the condition of Muslims living inside India, since Modi became Prime Minister, 7 years ago. It showed that Modi's policies have put the entire population of more than 20 crore Muslims of India in a state of enforced passiveness. I knew it would be anti-India, trying to portray an evil picture of the things happening in India and it was. But let us see how Modi has handled the Muslims of his country in these 7 years. Before he became the PM, frequent riots used to take place in certain parts of the country especially in cities like Muzaffarabad, Bhopal, etc on a regular basis. Take any festival say Janmasthami - one could bet on the possibility of riots over there. That has completely stopped. Those among the Muslims who were violent, understood very clearly that if they start any riot, they will definitely get punished. That element of fear which was absent when the Congress party was ruling at the Centre, has now been firmly established. Hats of to Mod
