In rare instances you have to give up what you thought was a great scene.

Sometimes I'll turn the channel and there's the movie and I can honestly say that those last few minutes always fascinate me. It's one of the rare instances when image, music, and drama work effectively.

Mother India
O Mother Land! O Mother Land!
You are very dear and rare land.
You are the paradise on earth
Where things are not in any dearth.
O Mother Land! O Mother Land!
You are very dear and rare land.
In Your Lap live men and women
Of every caste and religion.
You rain your love and affection
On them all without distinction.
O Mother Land! O Mother Land!
You are very dear and rare land.
You have got a peculiar trait
Due to which you are very great.
You adopt the foreigners too,
Who like to live and die for you.
O Mother Land! O Mother Land!
You are very dear and rare land.
You are beautiful, all perfect;
You are rich in every aspect.
In the ancient times, we have heard,
Aliens called you ‘a golden bird’
O Mother Land! O Mother Land!
You are very dear and rare land.
The mountains guard your honour here;
The ocean washes your feet there.
The rivers contain sweet water
Which for us is just like nectar.
O Mother Land! O Mother Land!
You are very dear and rare land.
Our culture is ancient and high,
We are respected that is why.
Culture has bound us by and by,
With a chain of pure love and tie.
O Mother Land! O Mother Land!
You are very dear and rare land.
We are sorry here live some men
Who are not loyal, but still then,
Pose as lovers of this nation,
Whom we do not like to mention.
O Mother Land! O Mother Land!
You are very dear and rare land.
We are sorry here live some men;
Fire of hatred they ever fan.
Freedom, we fear, may not be lost,
Which we have got at a great cost.
O Mother Land! O Mother Land!
You are very dear and rare land.
Let us be wise not to be tool
Of selfish powers which befool
Those who do not well understand
Their aim which is behind their stand.
O Mother Land! O Mother Land!
You are very dear and rare land.
We will be lucky, if we die
For you, O Gracious Country High!
We’ll give them a fitting reply,
Who see you with a slanting eye.
O Mother Land! O Mother Land!
You are very dear and rare land.

Give Up
(bernard edwards/nile rodgers)
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
You better listen well
When I tell you
To be on the look out
You cant call for help
cause I know you inside out
Despite all your hideouts
Im no great pretender
Ill make you surrender
So come along quietly
Heres a thought to remember
I have not met a man yet
To escape from my drag-net
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Ill give you just the facts man
And you can draw all your own conclusions
Ill keep your mind surrounded
With chains of love so strong
You cant break through them
My arsenal is stocked
With all kinds of seductive weapons
Although your hearts locked up
My love will assist me
So that you cant resist me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
No, no, no
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me

On the Critical Attitude
The critical attitude
Strikes many people as unfruitful
That is because they find the state
Impervious to their criticism
But what in this case is an unfruitful attitude
Is merely a feeble attitude. Give criticism arms
And states can be demolished by it.
Canalising a river
Grafting a fruit tree
Educating a person
Transforming a state
These are instances of fruitful criticism
And at the same time instances of art.

Rare Friend
I will be your rare friend;
Spend many hours meditating on your success.
I will be your rare friend;
Be there for you when you are not at your best.
I will be your rare friend;
One who will take you home when your legs tire.
I will be your rare friend;
And will be beside you when go through the fire.
I will be your rare friend;
When others abandon you and laugh at you.
I will be your rare friend;
Not caring the color of your skin or what you do.
I will be your rare friend;
I will be your rare friend because its true, I am you.

I respect people who feel things passionately. I do. But when someone is a judge, that is not what they should bring to the bench. It is not really passion, except in rare instances, that serves the bench well. It is, rather, an ability to understand the law and follow it.

We've built the largest empire in the history of the world. It's been done over the last 50 years since World War II with very little military might, actually. It's only in rare instances like Iraq where the military comes in as a last resort.

The Set Up
I guess it's not fair
For you to not care
But i don't and that's why
You think i'm a great guy
But i want you and you want me to
And you need this, wanna give it to you
And i thought this time i'd say something new
I'll call you, i swear
So next time be there
Can't keep up, no more
Should quit but, what for?
Cause i want you and you want me to
And you need this, wanna give it to you
And i thought this time i'd feel something new
It's not cruel, i do like you
Well i want you to feel that i do
And i want you and you want me to
And you need this, wanna give it to you
And i thought this time i'd be someone true
Yeah i want yo and you want me too
And you need this, wanna give it to you
And i thought this time i'd say something new

Sum Of You
The sum of you is 1+2
The sum of me is 1+3
The sum of us = 7
Now that's a love that's made in heaven!
With family and friends add 4
Without our love our friends are poor
All together we make 11
Now that's a love that's made in heaven!
The sum of a cat must = 9
He has alot of lives to live before he dies
The some of a Dog must = 2
He always does what you ask him to
The sum of a fish must = 5
He goes round and round to stay alive
The sum of a tortoise is slow and rare
Give him a 1
Cos he's seldom here
The sum of a bird
Is measured in song
He scores the highest at 21!
But before this is over and done
A parrot scores a measly 1
For squawking on and on and on
Great grannies are a rare and unseen treat
So let's give them an 8
Before it's too late
And they turn to dust and disintegrate!
A mouse is a pest you don't want to see
So let's set a trap and give a -3
The sum of all this is beyond my conceit
Adding it up+ and -
Is a terrible feat
So if you can fnd a spread sheet
Send me the TOTAL
Make this poem complete

Failure of actions
Instances were there where I over read
The women’s behavior, and fell apart.
Instances must be there where I fail to read
The women’s behavior, and lost them.

I found that glorious throne,
I found that glorious throne,
You blessed my soul all the way,
All from a distance,
Think that the throne is upon me,
You are the will that gave me the deliverance,
All that great thought within me,
Think that these events are making me great,
In my great thought about life and love,
You really meant to rescue my soul,
All that understanding within me,
There is no more hesitation in my soul,
Give me the Will of the Sword,
You came all the way to make me sway,
Come and rescue me from all my agony,
In all that is to be done,
There is no more sorrow in my soul,
Since it is by law and justice that I see my face,
Come and give me the will to justice,
My achievements make me perceive the beauty and grace,
Never plan to sleep anymore in that awakening.

Dolly Is Queen
Dolly is queen
Such kind of beauty is never seen
As if carved out from wood
And considered as thought for food
Lovely smile
To take you for ride meanwhile
Joy and only joy
With her you can always enjoy,
Exchange pleasantry
That is all necessary
Makes everybody happy
Always in good mood and ready
Combination of art and skill
She is rich by her strong will
She has made great impact
By skillful presentation in the poetical act
How can I miss her?
Without any appearance or picture
Yet her impression is carved out in mind
I have yet to see her and find
Such kind of brilliance with beauty is rarely seen
As if full moon has appeared in sky with rare scene
Nobody may notice their regular appearance
But when in contact can be considered as golden chance

MOTHER DEAR, mother dear,
WILL YOU HEAR, will you hear?
MY LAMENT, my lament;
O CLEMENT, o clement!
I WOULD SAY, I would say,
HAPPY DAY, happy day;
YOUR GREAT LOVE, your great love;
SHOW’D ME THOU, show’d me thou.
I JUST PRAY, I just pray;
GOD MUST SAY, god must say,
YOU TO LIVE, you to live,
LONG LIFE GIVE, long life give.
HOW MUCH CARE, how much care?
AND LOVE RARE, and love rare,
YOU GAVE ME, you gave me,
FOR NO FEE, for no fee!
