For last couple of weeks… I was caught up in much of a debate with my fellow mates at BHUMI  and few others who knew about Freedom Under Construction . The discussions was mainly around points raised by my dearest friend Rakesh Dubbudu , An ardent RTI Activist (you read about his work in newspapers once almost every couple of months) and one of founding members of BHUMI. He raised simple and most valid questions that every citizen need to think on...Plenty of discussions already on the facebook page ). One question that struck me was… Why are we doing things that Govt. is supposed to do?  Here is my attempt NOT to answer the question… but just wish to express my thoughts on them...

I go to bed with her every night! And sometimes when the sun’s shining all bright! She teases me, by trying to clasp … Every time I have to work whole night! Teases again when I am obsessed with her Moving away like the mirage in a desert! She used to come along in every class, And played the game of hide and seek After a hard day, I reach home from the work, She quickly embraces me and relieves all the stress. She does not leave me a single day, And I cannot live without her. I know she loves me the most, And I love her more than anyone on earth! My girlfriend envies her, but loves her more than I do, for she too cannot leave without the "Sleep" ------------- I was inspired to write this when Kiran  asked a question of FB - "What is your relationship with Sleep?"

Daant se reshmi dor katt ti nahi Teeth are not able to cut the silk thread... Umar kab ki baras ke safaid ho gayi Age long ago got whitened... {contributed by reader:see comments below} Kaari badari jawani ki chatt ti nahi but the dark clouds of youth are not fading away... Walla ye dhadkan bhadne lagi hai Walla {exclamation}... these heart beats are raising...
