maya

Amar je khuda lagleo khide paaye na
se amar tyaag na
abar obhinoy o na
odbhuut ei brittyer kotha janish ki tui
tui janle bujhti ami nishchit
boddo maya tore shorire
aar taatei aro lyangta ami
tui harami hole ami ayenar shamne rajbesh pore thhaktam.

Other anthems from alien peoples



Buffalo Springfield
Stop, Hey What's That Sound lyrics
there's something happinin here
what it is aint exactly clear
theres a man with a gun over there
tellin me i got to beware

i think it's time we stop, children
what's that sound
everybody look what's goin down

there's battle lines being drawn
nobody's right if everybody's wrong
young people speakin there minds
getting so much resistance far behind

it's time we stop,
hey what's that sound
everybody look what's goin down

what a field day for the heat
a thousand people in the street
singing songs that they're carrying signs
mostly say hurray for our side

it's time we stop,
hey what's that sound
everybody look what's goin down

Par-a-noia strikes deep
into your life it will creep
it starts when your always afraid
step out of line the man come and take you away

we better stop
hey what's that sound
everybody look what's going down

Living life, living it this way

"I'll be honest with you: I hate war in all its forms-
Physical, psychological, spiritual, emotional, environmental...
I hate war, and i hate having to struggle - i honestly do
Because i wish i had been born into a world where it was unnecessary.
This context of struggle and being a warrior and being a struggler
Has been forced on me by oppression.
Otherwise i would be a sculptor, or a gardener, carpenter -
You know, i would be free to be so much more...
I guess part of me or a part of who i am, a part of what i do
Is being a warrior - a reluctant warrior, a reluctant struggler
But i do it, because i'm committed to life"

-Assata Shakur (feat. in "Committed to Life" by Asian Dub Foundation)

Nakayama gem

And the master comes and tries to buck me up.With a one I will remember -
G, you know what Jim Watson's mom said when a concerned Jim said - Mom, when I grow up , there will be nothing left to discover.
"Dont worry Ducky."

I am rather blessed.

The eve after

Or why it is odd to sip Coke.

The attack on faith of little people by elites, the attach on rights of all people by the powers to be, the attack on the right to live, the right to food and the right to health and right to dignity and the right to be left alone to chose one's future - all this makes the independence day celebrations a satire of my belonging to the desh.if i needed mellow abstraction from reality, i would much rather watch Shivaji-The Boss.
I have never been a lover of the Church of Saint Gurcharan Das.

Nothing's sweeter

To a cheapster than free money.
To survive in the jungle of consumer capitalism, is
to maximize the gnawing in.

To consume and earn good karma is not easy.It is
worth trying.

One disaster less



Don't think too hard, if you think it hurts that bad
Don't talk about it, don't let it get you down
It's only one part, of the story
Just let it go, don't let this get you down now.

Sing the last thing on your mind
The last word on your breath
I'll be the one to keep you, keep you at your best
The last thing on your mind
'Cause I don't need your mess
I'll be the one to keep you one disaster less

Straighten up your tie, take the microphone
Forget about it, don't let it get you down
Now is not the time, and you're not alone
Shut up about it, no one can bring you down now

I'll be okay, if you're okay

- Last thing on your mind (Lights)

Majhraater shurjo

With her killer graces and her secret places
That no boy can fill with her hands on her hips
Oh and that smile on her lips
Because she knows that it kills me
With her soft french cream
Standing in that doorway like a dream
I wish she'd just leave me alone
Because french cream won't soften them boots
And french kisses will not break that heart of stone
With her long hair falling
And her eyes that shine like a midnight sun
Oh-o she's the one, she's the one

-Bruce Springsteen "She's the one"
