Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.

Hi man !
Good to see you posting again. Please do post regularly.
The blasts were a shameful act and I dont think we all need to have any more faith in this government at all.
Already, the coward sissy of a PM that we have has flown away to attend the G-8 summit and beg the other nations to help us fight terrorism when we can do it ourselves. I hope someone puts a gun to his head and asks him to stop looking for votes or stop listening to Sonia Gandhi and think of the nation for a while.

I had a hard ciphering and deciphering which side of your blog do I start reading from. So, I started with 'Select Writings'. Loved the style!
