Pop with a bang

I didn't take a hiatus for 5yrs. I opened a blog and even before I did any real blogging, I simply forgot its existence! Such things happen. That's why life is precious. I'm back - hopefully with a stronger determination to write something... regularly. Welcome once again. Wish me a better luck with my memory and momentum.

The Good Morrow : A Reading

-
The Good-Morrow BY  JOHN DONNE I wonder, by my troth, what thou and I Did, till we loved? Were we not weaned till then? But sucked on country pleasures, childishly? Or snorted we in the Seven Sleepers’ den? ’Twas so; but this, all pleasures fancies be. If ever any beauty I did see, Which I desired, and got, ’twas but a dream of thee. And now good-morrow to our waking souls, Which watch not one another out of fear; For love, all love of other sights controls, And makes one little room an everywhere.

My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears, And true plain hearts do in the faces rest; Where can we find two better hemispheres, Without sharp north, without declining west?

It is "Time" to remember the great crusader : DR. B.R. Ambedkar

-
India is a democratic country. The good governance of a country necessitates the passing of laws, taking adequate measures to make the laws functional and to punish the law breakers. Hence, the constitution of law forms an integral backbone to any government and any country. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar is called the 'Father of the Indian Constitution' for his arduous role in constituting the law of this land. Ambedkar campaigned for and advocated the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity. He championed the cause of the underprivileged and the downtrodden and was an exponent of women's empowerment and emancipation. As Chairman of the Drafting Committee of the Constitution, he laid down laws to bring equality for all. Ambedkar defended that if the democratic right of 'one man, one vote' -'one man, one value' can be sanctioned in the political system then why can't this principle of 'one man, one value' be sanctioned in the social and economic sy...
