INVICTUS

BY WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate,

I am the captain of my soul.

In life nothing is permanent, everything is temporary that means your sorrows and pain too have an end. Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. People take everything in life to be permanent love, hate, sorrow, friends, family and that is when they grow a tree of expectedness from others, and that is when they get hurt when the same tree mould with one's belief and trust fall without any warning unexpectedly and people get depressed isolated and hide their true identity behind a fake smile keeping every memories safe in a corner of their heart.

No this doesn't advocate to move on. Moving on is not the solution. It is like moving on from...

China and India both started the journey at same time but today the GDP of China is about 5 times that of its Indian counterpart. Over the last two decades the world has witnessed a tremendous growth of China surpassing the two digit growth mark only to slow down for past few years. India currently the fastest growing economy of the world is growing at a steady rate of near to 7.0 per year but still not able to catch up the double digit mark as China did. The biggest period of difference came between 1978 - 2000. Before that India and China went quite parallel. Even as late as 1991, India and China were equal in Per Capita incomes. After 2000, India's growth rate has come close to China's levels. It is the inbetween 25 years where China rocketed beyond the reach of India.
