	deepa  +  14099 Tue, 25 Nov 03 02:13 PM this is just for you Maj! On The Seashore by Tagore On the seashore of endless worlds children meet. The infinite sky is motionless overhead And the restless water is boisterous. On the seashore of endless worlds The children meet with shouts and dances. They build their houses with sand, And they play with empty shells. With withered leaves they weave Their boats and smilingly float them On the vast deep. Children have their play on the Seashore of worlds. They know not how to swim, They know not how to cast nets. Pearl-fishers dive for pearls, Merchants sail in their ships, While children gather pebbles And scatter them again. They seek not for hidden treasures, They know not how to cast nets. The sea surges up with laughter, And pale gleams the smile of the sea-beach. Death-dealing waves sing Meaningless ballads to the children, Even like a mother while rocking her baby's cradle. The sea plays with children, And pale gleams the smile of the sea-beach. On the seashore of endless worlds children meet. Tempest roams in the pathless sky, Ships are wrecked in the trackless water, Death is abroad and children play. On the seashore of endless worlds is the Great meeting of children. deepa

	deepa  +  14158 Tue, 25 Nov 03 08:13 PM heres one more dose of tagore! My Dependence I like to be dependent, and so for ever with warmth and care of my mother my father , to love, kiss and embrace wear life happily in all their grace. I like to be dependent, and so for ever on my kith and kin, for they all shower harsh and warm advices, complaints full wondering ,true and info giants. I like to be dependent, and so for ever for my friends, chat and want me near with domestic,family and romantic tips colleagues as well , guide me work at risks. I like to be dependent, and so for ever for my neighbours too, envy at times when at my rise of fortune like to hear my daily steps , easy and odd things too. deepa

	deepa  +  14670 Tue, 02 Dec 03 06:56 PM hey maj, sorry i couldn't reply to your post as i was busy with my interm exams. well, i think too that its tricky to understand this poem ...what i feel is that the poet dont want to be desolated! he wants everyone around him , some may love him and some dislike him with his success but that is the spice of life! the poet went through ups and downs in his life , hence it is said... People are often unreasonable, Illogical and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, People may accuse You of selfish motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, You will win some false friends And some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, People may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, Someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, They may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, People will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. cheers! deepa
