I laughed

I cried and laughed,



I laughed and cried,



between crying



and laughing ...



I laughed



They told me,



I am mad.



but



again,



I laughed.

Either/Or

Marry and you will regret it. Do not marry, and you will also regret it. Marry or do not marry, you will regret it either way. Whether you marry or you do not marry, you will regret it either way. Laugh at the stupidities of the world, and you will regret it; weep over them, and you will also regret it. Laugh at the stupidities of the world or weep over them, you will regret it either way. Whether you laugh at the stupidities of the world or you weep over them, you will regret it either way. ...

Martin Luther King Speech

I Have a Dream - Address at March on Washington

August 28, 1963. Washington, D.C.



I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. [Applause:]



Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came...

Deaf political leaders

This is with reference to the article by Bhaskar Koirala "Middle political path" (May 5). It is true that India and the Maoists are the key elements related ot the development of our country. As you have pointed out, all those individuals who are supporting the indefinite strike are all Nepalis. And it is our duty to support for the greater cause. But aparently, things are not going as they seem to be. In addition, your article looks interesting which points out that we need to find the commo...

Land of hunger

Land of hunger

Hunger, am I. Hungry, you are.In this hunger,Only one gets fulfilled.The life full With perplexity, Complexities, pride And honorsMine are nothingMaterialistic,Without, your smile So, eloquently sober.                      Dive into meI know.Ways to reach, The way no one will ever preachAway, far away From this boring And clumsy,Land of hunger

Brinkmanship

Your editorial rightly pointed out that the 'wait-and-watch' tactic of the government vis-a-vis the nationwide Maoist strike could prove dangerous ("No time to lose", May 4, Page 6). Already Valley residents are panicking about the shortage of food and basic necessities. If the parties don't reach some kind of consensus soon, the peaceful strike can turn violent anytime as the patience of the agitators as well as government representatives are likely to be tested the longer the strike continu...

Puzzling long hair

The relationship between me and my long hair goes back to 2065 B.S and now we are already into 2067. I suspect that it is longer than present day men-women relationships. I used to have long hair like famous Hollywood, Bollywood and 'Some-wood' actors. Unfortunately, I do not have long hair anymore. 

I always loved my long hair simply because I believe that hair is like an ornament of man's mind, as diamonds are a girl's best friend. Every man's hair determines his personality. However, in...

Remember

Remember me,

When I am long gone into the woods,

Into the darkness of unnamed island,

Where no one humanly blooms,

Remember me without sadness

The way I touched you,

Will never, ever come back!



Remember me, when you will miss, the elegance

Of the man, the way I walked into your house,

In small village, journeying,

Just to get your glimpse, and smell your hair

Or, to share a kiss for a moment

That never lasted so long.



Remember me, when you will be all left alone

And there will be no man...

Press releases: You Can

Lappeenranta, Finland, April 24, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Many of the times, we feel depressed and sad. It is very obvious that, we as the humans are in great need of inspirations during different phases of our lives. It is also known that there are thousands of self-help and inspirational books but hardly these books give suitable insights or 'an inch of inspiration'. Therefore, unlike these self-help books, poems can be the best source of inspiration. What if you can read golden words of inspirati...

Desire and Misery

I am writing this with reference to the article by Arun Gupto "Miseries of a nation: Desire" (April 14). I liked the way the writer has gathered data on 'desire' but  I am little skeptical about how desires would lead to misery. The conclusion of the article looks inspiring when one talks about the epic story of our religion. It is true that many of our politicians harbor a great desire to rule our nation but hardly anyone has become successful. As a writer, I would probably...
