Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high...

The headlines in the paper today justly reflect the sad situation in the country. No one knows whats going to happen next... it's like a lull before a big storm... remembered these lines from a poem by RNT (that's not Ratan Tata, that's RabindraNath Tagore!). I think it suits the situation very well...

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.
~Rabindranath Tagore
