Kathmandu, Nepal
Clothed in facts
Truth feels oppressed;
in the garb of poetry
it moves easy and free
-Rabindranath Tagore
Mr Wangchuk at Indian Embassy says "something" will be issued tomorrow. The suspense is killing me!
All this week's posts have 1980s song titles as headlines.
Extra points for figuring out who did "Poetry." (I have no idea what the points mean, or what they could be used for. )
(NO extra points will be issued for figuring out who did "Immigrant Song," which is 1970s anyway.)

Yes, I'm just uploading old photos today. I got tired of complaining...and thought it better to reflect on some of the amazing moments of the past few years.

This "Poetry" was a 1980s recording. Very underground, though...name of the song/track was "Poetry."
Nice google-free post though!
Tx..oh I gave up before i posted that! I didn't go underground until the mid 90's .It's the kind of thing where,you've got to have heard it and, it sticks in your mempry.
But here's some poetry for you...
"Gie me laughter!
Gie me pain, aye!
Buy me the glue tae get masel the-gether again.
Am lik a druiket duck fae staunin in the rain."
(I googled now,and found it)

OM MURUGA!
