( "Somewhere Only We Know" composed and played by English alternative rock band Keane.It became one of the greatest hits of 2004 worldwide.)



I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete



Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin



I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?



Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin



And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?



Oh simple thing where have you gone

So if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
So why don't we go



This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

Double Standards

When on one hand Team Anna advocates that Prime Minister and Higher Judiciary come under the ambit of Lokpal, one would assume that other institutions - corporations, Media and NGOs would naturally be included in the jurisdiction of a Lokpal Bill. But the proposed bill leaves them out completely.
Looks Like Mr. Arvind Kejriwal, who owns a NGO named Parivartan has some vested interests.

War of Words - Lokpal Bill

While it is true that neither Team Anna nor any individual can make a law to curb corruption, the government would do well to remember that there is an undercurrent of dissatisfaction among people who feel that the laws are not stringent enough and that political parties are not serious about the falling standards in public life. This undercurrent may swell with time and cause a tsunami.

Saddening Display of Protest against Lokpal bill

Looking at the yesterday's event of  burning of the copies of the Lokpal bill by social activist Anna Hazare and other civil society members, it is deeply hurtful to see the way this protest has turned out to be. Although my respect for them has not diminished because their cause is genuine. Burning copies of the bill is an inappropriate way of protesting, especially in a nation where paper is equated with knowledge and wisdom. Millions of trees are cut every year to meet the requirements of paper consumption. The fact that it was used for burning is quite saddening.
