Nobody

Nobody knows it's empty,
The smile that I wear.
The real one is left behind in the past 
Because I left you there...

Nobody knows I am crying.
They won't even see my tears.
When they think I am laughing,
I wish you were here...

Nobody knows it's painful.
They think that I am strong. 
They say it won't kill me, 
But I wonder if they are wrong...

Nobody knows I miss you.
They think I am all set free,
But I feel like I am bound with chains, 
Trapped in the mystery...

Nobody knows I need you. 
They think I can do it on my own, 
But they don't know I am crying 
When I am all alone

A society that sentences killers to nothing worse than prison -- no matter how depraved the killing or how innocent the victim -- is a society that doesn't *really* think murder is so terrible.  When a killer is hanged till death, society is condemning his crime with a seriousness and intensity that no other punishment achieves. I still remember as a child th...

1947 Earth Revisited

Was listening to Rut Aa Gayi re randomly . Felt why is this not reviewed by me . Here goes my two cents and a half  Partition  is probably the most brutal massacre in human history with unaccounted figures of loss and trauma. Now, more than 85 years later, the scars still run deep. The present circumstances continue to serve as cruel reminders of the past. People still kill in the name of religion, nationalism and patriotism. Deepa Mehta's  1947: Earth  is another Partition saga. The second in her trilogy ( Fire, Earth, Water ) this film has, and will, run into controversy. It will surely be accused of being anti-Muslim, anti-Hindu and anti-Sikh, depending on one's political and religious allegiance. The film, in reality, is neither. Based on Bapsi Sidhwa's novel  Cracking India  (or  Ice Candy Man ), Mehta's film encompasses only half the novel. It leaves out the nerve-racking depictions of violence, rape and plunder, as described by Sidhwa. The novel...
