So as not to end on a sour note, here are two things. 

First, an "[instant memory](http://www.mapeadores.net/memoria-viva/?ref=opendemocracy.net)" site - under construction but open for business soon. Consider: the people at the forum are looking for autonomy and freedom - goals that are no less worthy for them than they are for the rich and privileged.

Second, a scene late this afternoon at the India House (built to celebrate achievements of last year's WSF in Mumbai). As the session wound down, Indian and Brazilian delegates danced together and were very happy. Brazilian and Indian rhythms together. On the wall to one side, *Gitanjali* by Rabindranath Tagore:

*Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high* 
*Where knowledge is free* 
*Where the world is not broken up into fragments* 
*By narrow domestic walls* 
*Where words come out from depths of truth* 
*Where tireless striving stretches for perfection* 
*Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way* 
*Into the dreary sand of tired habit* 
*Where the mind is led forward by thee* 
*Into ever widening thought and act* 
*Into that heaven of freedom, my Father* 
*Let my country awake.*
