Life is but a dream!

life is but a dream!
where do we stand in this scheme?

whence we come and whence we go, is shrouded in mystery
once we come and once we go, in a game of lottery
since we come and since we go, is the need for chemistry
hence we come and hence we go, to add to our ancestry

Einstein rode a light beam in his dream,
Kekule saw a molecule in his dream,
Ramanujan generated equations in his dream,
watson & crick graphed DNA brick in their dreams

where do we stand in this scheme?
life is but a dream!

An Ode to Sachin Tendulkar

This poem reflects my admiration for India's cricket messiah - Sachin Tendulkar.

you keep the bowlers guessing,

your bat on ball is so kissing,

often ball goes past whizzing,

bowlers' look is so quizzing,

the runs still keep gushing,

lucky are we to see an art so dashing!

your drives are exquisite on the covers,

leaving the bowlers running for cover,

your straight drive is an art in perfection,

where fielders stand in attention,

when you are on song, you can do no wrong,

even shane warne had been so warned!

weight of a billion hearts in the bat,

your bat weighs much because of that,

when you play in front of the nation,

you keep getting standing ovation,

from the land of edification,

fans adore you as cricket god's manifestation!

Think before you think!

positive thinking is a clever way to lie to ourselves,
negative thinking is a dumb way to convey the truth about ourselves,
pragmatic thinking is the logical way to unravel the real truth behind the positive lie and negative truth

Success vs. Failure

This poetic thought reflects our battle between success and failure.

Failure is not a certainty,
Success is not a guarantee,
Efforts are our warranty,
'Tis is so for eternity
