...Big B pays poetic tribute

As the country mourned death of Delhi rape victim, Amitabh Bachchan composed a poem as a tribute. Here’s an excerpt:

‘With the passage of time, the candles shall burn out and lose their flame... The flowers offered with devotion, shall in the absence of water, get dry and weathered out...The voices of protest both vocal and silent, shall lose their strength...But the 'fearless' (nirbhayata) fire that has been ignited, shall rekindle the flames in our hearts...The waterless dry and weathered flowers, shall be brought to life drenched by the tears in our eyes... With a burning throat the soul of 'Damini' and 'Amaanat', shall be voiced in the entire universe...’
