Indu-goh

India that is भारत
--
I have always insisted that the word 'Hindu' has been a cognate of 'Indu' which in Sanskrit means Moon. Still we have been lead into believing that the word has origin in 'Sindhu'. 'Sindhu' in Sanskrit means the sea / ocean, and the river Sindhu / सिंधु though mentioned in Veda, also bears this name because it has a vast width like sea, the word 'Hindu' is how they (Chinese) knew from 'Indu'.
Dr Subramanian Swami has finally arrived at a similar conclusion, though he could not explain how  and where 'Hindu' was described as such in some old books.  
This is how I see India goes perfectly well with 'Bharat'

Rhythm, Dance and Song.

When Nothing is Forthcoming.
--
When all the roads are blocked,
When you can't go anywhere,
When you can't even sit,
At your home however,
The turbulent times keep,
In their Rhythm, Dance and Song,
With no mercy, pity on you,
Open the panchangam*;
And watch the planets;
The Hour, the Hora,
The Moon and the Sun,
The Dragon's head,
And the Dragon's tail,
That entails a tale,
Waiting to be decoded.
And if you don't understand,
The Language of their movement,
Wait, Wait and just wait.
And in this waiting,
At an unexceptional moment,
Quite Unexpectedly comes,
A relief, respite and peace,
That leaves you wondering,
How everything is just fine,
And for how long a time,
You had been tormented,
By the vagaries of mind.
