Where The Mind is Without Fear

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action--
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

Rabindra Nath Tagore

Some doors close, a few window panes gone,
some cobwebs here, a layer of dust upon.
But this is where I live, this is where I belong.
I complain of the cold and of the burning heat.
I complain of the power cuts and say its not so neat.
But,
I love my Country and I love my home.
