Awesome.

Roothi hui hai tu - ek pal mein maanegi
Dil se hamesha hai bacchi.
Aye zindagi tu bhi - mere hi jaisi hai -
Dikhti sayani - par hai kacchi.

Phoola muh leke - baithi kyun hai tu -
Ungli meri chal tham le -
Jahan main chalu - wahin tu chale
Jahan tu chale - wahin main chalu.

OST - Wake Up Sid (2009)

Invictus..

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 Ernest Henley

I was thinking how a man could spend thirty years in prison, and come out and forgive the men who did it to him...

~ Francois Pienaar in the movie "Invictus"

I learnt something today - forgiveness - Mandela is truly an inspiration.
