To Winter By William Blake

 
Winter Poem By William Blake                                                                                                          
O Winter! bar thine adamantine doors:
The north is thine; there hast thou built thy dark
Deep-founded habitation. Shake not thy roofs,
Nor bend thy pillars with thine iron car.'
He hears me not, but o'er the yawning deep
Rides heavy; his storms are unchain'd, sheathиd
In ribbиd steel; I dare not lift mine eyes,
For he hath rear'd his sceptre o'er the world.

Lo! now the direful monster, whose 1000 skin clings
To his strong bones, strides o'er the groaning rocks:
He withers all in silence, and in his hand
Unclothes the earth, and freezes up frail life.

He takes his seat upon the cliffs,--the mariner
Cries in vain. Poor little wretch, that deal'st
With storms!--till heaven smiles, and the monster
Is driv'n yelling to his caves beneath mount Hecla.

Aung San Suu Kyi Is Freed At Last

                                        Freedom At Last, Mrs. Suu Kyi, 2010.
Myanmar's iconic and pro-democracy leader, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, today was freed from seven and a half years of house arrest. She was greeted at the gate of her compound by thousands of jubilant supporters. She stood weaving and smiling in pink long sleeved shirt, as people cheered, chanted and sang the national anthem.

She held a white-handkerchief in one hand and said, "Thank you for welcoming me like this", clutching the iron bar of her gate as  she looked out at the cheering crowd. " We haven't seen each other for so long, I have so much to tell you".
She said, she would speak again on Sunday at the Headquarter of her now defunct political party, the National League For Democracy.

"We must unite!!!". She said, " If we are united, we can get what we want".
Aung San had spent 15 of the last 20 years under House-Arrest, and her release had been the leading demand of Western Nations seeking to pressure the ruling Junta on questions of Human Rights and political freedom.
Mrs. Suu Kyi is a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. Though she long has had no contact with the world outside her Lake side Villa, she has remained a symbol of hope for the people of Burma and lovers of Democracy around the world.
The crowd outside her party headquarters on Friday buzzed with anticipation. A man rode a bycycle near her house with a sign hanging from the  handlebars with the picture of Mrs. Aung San Suu Kyi and a Poem titled " Until We Achieve Success".
* Aung San Suu Kyi is one the few women leaders that I admired so much, her love for Liberty and Freedom for humankind is amazing. I hope and pray that, her dream of Free Burma will soon be a reality.~Delson

Baptiste Daleman and his band in the campus!!!!!1


On the 22nd of March 2010, we had a very wonderful time in the campus. On the occasion of La culture francaise s'invite en Inde, Baptiste Daleman and his band came to our University to perform different music, which was really good and it was the first time I'm listening to French music Live.The band include, Richard who is a celebrated guitarist, Anatole guitarist and co-singer, Pierrick Rossi who is an actor, saxophone player and singer is living in artistic world since he was born. He joined conservatiore de Lyon when he was 8.Later he became the singer and played saxophone for a band called "ZUMBAKAI". Baptiste could have some common points with any Hawaian guitarist. But his music and personality are definitely based on French influences. Still young but already very experienced. With his guitar player and co-singer Anatole, they released their first album called 'Deviens-toi'.The programme was worth watching!!!!!
