To Moon and Back!

Just pains as I sit back and listen one controversy after another about the CommonWealth Games to be held this October in India's capital New Delhi. The latest blemish,
A Helium baloon costing Rs. 40 Cr. another Rs. 10 Cr. to transport and inspect it.
I am still wondering is this the same India that launched the moon mission for just about Rs. 386 Cr. ?
A Creative Country which Could Cut Costs could be so Corrupt as well...

And as it pains, I sit back and listen to 'Savage Garden'
(a name so ironic)  To Moon and Back....
I feel we had reached the pinnacle and now back in the dumps!
A song so apt for the occasion.

She's taking her time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one
They're saying
Mama never loved her much
And daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot
To come (and she'll say to him)
She's saying

I would fly you to the moon and back
If you'll be if you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where
we belong
So would you be my baby
Ooh-ooh


She can't remember a time
When she felt needed
If love was red then she was colour-blind
All her friends they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined
She's saying
Love is like a barren place
And reaching out for human faith is
Is like a journey I just don't have a map for
So baby gonna take a dive and push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on the stars
(What a pleasant dream) just saying
