Fomer President of South Africa Nelson Mandela said 'we often live in a global village. That you in delhi can hear me speak from johannesburg proves how true that is in a literal sense. The 20th century has seen unbelievable technological and scientific progress and the world, in many respect, a much better place than it was a 100 years ago and there is much to be grateful for. The last century has also proved in your country and mine and elsewhere across the globe that the resistence to injustice and the fight for freedom is an instinctive human response as much as it is a political act'.
The 20th century witnessed the end of colonisation and the birth of numerous young nations. The attainment of national political freedom was, however, not the end of the struggle. In every corner of world today mankind continues to struggle, often against oppressors of another kind that are proving equally formidable and persistent. Poverty, hunger, disease and death cannot be fought with weapons. They can only be truly challenged by the human will. It's a concern that our world is becoming a global village only for the exchange of goods and information-not as a place of shelter, livelihood, security, and dignity for all who live in it.
The divide between the world's rich and the poor is not merely the result of economic consequences or market forces. It is also the result of closed hearts and narrow minds. Prosperity without an equitable distribution of resources is neither just nor sustainable in the long run. We live in an age of scientific and technological advancements but we cannot ensure the delivery of basic health care to most of our population.
It is our duty, duty of leaders and corporations, to think and act as citizens of one home we have, the global village we live in. If the 2oth century was the century of national freedom, the century we live in today must be a century of creating a better life for all.

Few more hours to go for JAM paper.i should not be sitting and typing instead should be burried deep inside books suffocating myself which i think most of the graduating students must be right now facing.but then my prognosis says i am not destined to be in IIT (not that i believe in destiny but then its the most appropriate excuse which i can give myself). For some of my friends, it has been a turmoil for the last couple of months.Aloof from the rest of the world, they burnt the midnight lamp, struggling hard to just make it to the most premiere institute of the coutry and ya for some of them,it's definitely a second chance. Some oozing out with confidence, some seem so paranoid, some definitely said they are gonna rock it and for some,its tomorrow or never. 3 hrs of writing a paper and then your life just take a turn, opening new gates, new hope, new zeal and a bright future but for some of us anticipation might just turn into a nightmare but then who knows what's waiting out there for us. Wishes pouring in. The time passing by making me feel so helpless but i know life has something nice stored for all of us because that's our destiny which we definitely desire and deserve too.

i woke up from my dream with a smile just to realize'it was just a dream and you were just a part of it'. Reality struck me hard, making me engulf those hard core facts. Life seemed so fastidious all over again. Tears rolled down effortlessly. Pain dawned upon. I stretched my hands to just find you gone. I wanted to scream, demur but then words suddenly stopped flowing by, mind abandoned me, everything around came to a stand still and i became numb, 'comfortably numb'.
i sit aloof deeply contemplating' where did it go wrong, where?. The only answer i seek and the acquisitiveness to break through this question makes me clumsy and wrenched but then still i try to acquiesce with life making an effort to live because i still can't find a reason to complain, nothing to repent for, nothin to lose.Every expectation has fallen apart, every hope has been ruptured,those widened eyes have stopped looking at me anymore." I AM LOST".



something's gone i withdraw and i'm not strong like before i was
deep inside of you
i can go nowhere; i burn candles and stare at a ghost
deep inside of you
i have lost myself,there's nothing left, it's all gone
deep inside of you
deep inside of you
third eye blind.
