Views should be based on common sense(to be found only in uncommon persons). There are infinite diseases,difficulties and disasters crippling human.Yes,Mr.Intellect! I agree with you Hindi after Chinese may be the second largest in the world. But I revere and prefer at same level as you to keep our ethnic languages as superior as any. That depends on how your race is contributing to population explosion. Tagore but has dwarfed all the languaged -at best can lament in Tagore’s language ~ As the eightieth year I enter Of my life, it is my wonder – The silent millions of stars – Their ceaseless showers Rush in bewildering speed The infinite space, aimlessly to feed. Within that boundless dark My existence abruptly did spark Amidst the eternal bonfire In the chain of centuries never to tire. In that earth I did appear, where At the seabed from the swamps mere On the vast lap of the inanimate Life in slimes did vibrate In its myriad branches to flower To divulge its profound wonder. The dusk of inchoate existence held firm A stupor for ages on the animaldom; On whose meditation At countless days’ and nights’ completion Appeared in slow pace Man in life’s stage with his grace? Lamps lit up there one by one Newer significance to earn; Amidst vast illumination Man observes his future in brilliant revelation. On this earth’s stage To evince from age to age Act by act, Man’s wisdom There I too did come As that drama’s performer Along with many a other. I too had my role That curtain to up roll; That is my marvel utmost- Mother Earth that does host The heavenly soul; For what goal- In her sky, light, air, Soil, seas and mounts bear What deep resolve Around the Sun to revolve? Stitched in that mysterious string On this Earth I did spring Eighty years ago, A few more to go.
