Ayodhya verdict today!

As the country gears up for the Ayodhya verdict, the mood in Mumbai cannot be missed. Lets hope peace prevails!

A very thought provoking poem that I read in an article. Wish everyone thought on similar lines. Sigh!

Mandir to ban jaayega
Par Ram kahan se laaoge?
Uss masjid ki deewaron ko
Kya paak kabhi kar paaoge?
Jis chaukhat par log jale
Ram wahan na jaayenge
Jin galiyaron mein khoon gira
Maula kya reh paayenge?

Poem - Invictus

One of the best poems ever written -

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

~William Henley

Quote for the moment

"Miracles happen to those who believe in them."

Is a known devil is better than an unknown angel?

Wish I would know the answer.

Nadal wins his career grand slam

Nadal is the new Career Grand Slam man! With only the US open having eluded him for sometime, this time he made no mistake. A title well deserved!

p.s. Federer lost to Djokovic in semi finals and it seems like age is catching up. I would be the happiest to see him make a comeback (I can never help my optimism). After all, he has had quite a long stretch of a career.
