Les Miserables - II

Here's the next one...

Bring Him Home

(Valjean is standing over Marius at the barricade)
[VALJEAN]

God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there

He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.

He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son.
The summers die
One by one
How soon they fly
On and on
And I am old
And will be gone.

Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy

You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.



Jean Valjean is the central character of Victor Hugo's 1862 novel Les Miserables.

Shouldn't we draw a line now???

Madhur Bhandarkar’s latest directorial, ‘Fashion’, primarily focuses on revealing the dark side of the fashion industry about which many youngsters aspiring to be a part of are unaware. The attempt was really appreciable as it is an eye-opener to the ignorant lot who believe that the industry is only glitz and glamour. Besides the many harsh realities showcased in the movie about this industry, it has been instrumental in displaying the adulteration of ethics in other professions. I was totally repulsed watching one particular scene in the film where the media (television and print) crosses its ethical limits to tarnish the reputation of a young model who happened to be involved in an unfortunate accident while walking the ramp in a show. Character assassination is a very common term when it concerns today’s media. Be it Aarushi Talwar or this ill-fated model. Besides this, some so-called “news” channels have simply lost track of what they ought to cover. A couple of months back it was...

The Divine design...

Somebody’s got to think out of the box… Somebody’s got to ponder over things that everyone does not… Somebody’s got to talk of the rhythm of silence… There is nothing right or wrong about any poem, about any form of expression. Its just a reflection of the thought-flow in the brook of one’s mind… It’s just the way the colors spurt across the canvass of one’s mind… And the thoughts that flow cannot be right or wrong. No one is to be blamed.. no one can be blamed. It is all the way everyone is designed. Just the way you and I are… It’s His mighty creation to make the people the way they are… Some are like you…who can’t grow out of conventionality… Some, like me…surrounded by the barriers of conventionality and yet yearns to think beyond it… and mentally… A maverick… Some like her… who has crossed all borders, all frontiers of conformism…who has drank the wine of unconventionality… and who expresses herself as a Maverick … in the true sense of its word… She can’t be blamed… she must not b...

Defining Love...

It was one of those fine days last summer when I had this longing. A desire which had come up not long ago...but was truly a deep one within me... My parents agreed to fulfill my wish and took me where I wanted to. A nearby orphanage where there were lots of little tots having an entirely different life from that of mine. I always knew they might get food, shelter, and clothing may be a little education but one thing for which they would always yearn for is love. An affectionate hand patting them, encouraging words elevating their souls… someone to look up to an the end of the day and feel tranquil that there is someone waiting for me, someone who wants me, someone who treasures me. I was eager to go in and meet all the kids there. Some of the little ones, cheerful, not understanding what life hasn’t given them and not knowing the pleasures of the world beyond those walls. Their eyes … a vast ocean of innocence. Concealing God knows how many hopes and dreams for a lonesome life that ha...
