Agneepath

A towering verse penned by Sri Harivanshrai Bachchan -

Tu na thakega kabhi, tu na thamega kabhi,
tu na mudega kabhi,
Kar shapath, kar shapath, kar shapath,
Agneepath, Agneepath, Agneepath.

Edited to add meaning as requested -
My literal translation:
You shall not tire ever, you shall not give up ever,
you shall not turn back ever,
take the oath, take the oath, take the oath,
Path of Fire, Path of Fire, Path of Fire

My shallow broad translation:
Swear that you will persevere resolutely, with the test of fire, without ever tiring, without ever giving up, without ever turning back.

MBA Updates

I have been accepted into the Kellogg School of Management (1 year program) as well as the Harvard Business School for my MBA. I dont know which one to go to. It's an agonizing decision. Which one, dear reader? Which one?  Some very mature ways of decision making I have resorted to - - if I see two mynahs , it;s a sign I have to go to Kellogg. If I see three, I have to go to Harvard. - if the bus arrives in the next one minute, i have to go to Harvard. - if the leaf falls off the branch and touches my right shoulder, I go to Kellogg. ad infinitum, ad infinitum,and so on.
