Be a Rebel

Over and over I have been playing the same song.. I am not able to decipher one word of the song.Probably I have not concentrated enough ( and I did not play it in a walkman ).I have hunted the net for lyrics .. ( I got some wrong ones).Two phrases struck me..
Be a Rebel
Lose Control
So easily said.. So very easily said.
Now who is a rebel ? Who is a revolutionist ? Is every rebel a forethinker ? Here is my defnition of a rebel. He is an objectivist looking for a long term real solution to the problem.wanting to lead life his own way and wanting to make a difference.He would be able to look farther into the future.
A bright kid in the class.With a different idea.New visualization twists to the actuals. I envy such people and I am really jealous of them.They seem to be every where.What are others supposed to do ? Sit back and watch them get brainstorming ideas every second ? Isnt it slightly unfair ? The nature and everything.
Some are born rebels. Some others try to get converted . You try hard . Very hard to think of some thing new. Some thing non conventional. Its a conscious attempt not spontaneous how many times are we successful ?
Are all rebels genius ? Being genius is so very different from being hard working. Any one can work hard.And the later does not imply the former.What percentage of what matters ? Or does anything matter at all ?

To the mahal of the Taj
To the Minar of Qutub
To the Kumari of Kanya
To the Panjim of Goa
To the Kaancheepuram
Zinda bad Zinda good
All have something to say
They all have something to say
They all have something to say

Follow me Follow me Follow me now!


Verse 2:
India and Pakistan
Bangladesh all in the soul
Khajuraho to Coimbatore

From the Gateway of India
Upto the Himalayas
Across the Ganga Yamuna

To Shirdi to the Red Fort
Lal Quila Yeah u know
From Ajmer to Orissa


Verse 3:
Amar Akbar Antony
Ram Rahim Abdullah
Searching for a bright star
To the corners of the Earth
What is our search worth?
What is our destiny?

Imagine we go back in time
Free your soul, Free your mind
Take a look what do you find?

Hey Harry, ukw, hve been wondering abt tat myself... I believe that there are two kinds of ppl in the world.. one, who spend their entire life trying to please the rest of the world and two, ppl who live for themseleves..... One may term the latter as selfish.. but I believe that it takes a lot of courage to live for oneself.... Afterall,, theres one life.. Live it ur way .. n live it BIG....

nd another thing, Rebels, by nd large dont attempt to being one.. They are just different ppl having diff ideas.. notions n a diff way of living their life (on their own ideas)... After all everyone's entitled to certain fundamental freedoms...Art. 19... They do not demand that others live life on their terms.. all they want is to live their life on their own terms.. wch I feel is not too much to ask for ...
