Some of my many, very random memos

It's a beautiful world, you know? Well, it is- and you'd better believe it; cause beyond this veil of urban garbage and raucous lies the unhampered natural beauty of Mother earth. Her green trees and blue streaming waters call out to us, arms astretched to come and bask in her utmost glory.
Why then, do we chose to sit in a concrete building away from her bosom? I fail to comprehend.

What is it about people that makes them such selfish brutes up there seated on the pivot of the food chain? Tigers deserve to be well above us. They are undoubtedly the most fantastic mammal to roam the earth today- except it isn't so much 'the earth' as small pockets of human-free thickets. It's a disgrace to know the whole world is dependent on us, India, to see these wild cats through the many generations to come; and it's a disgrace because this is the worst country for them to be stuck in. Their fate lies in irresponsible, lazy, uninterested and incompetent hands. If the tiger is to survive, it must do so in another land- not one infested with ignorant fools and undeterred, greedy poachers. How disheartening it is to see these fierce, magnificent, dominating cats being reduced to vulnerables at gunpoint.

You see those lights above the sea?
We wonder aloud, 'what could they be?'
A star and a lighthouse, maybe,
No wait baby, it's you and me.
