Revisiting an epitaph

14th March was the day when I discovered that 2 most significant scientific personalities Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein were connected to one another and not just by science. Dr. H was born on the same day as Einstein died. And undoubtedly they had many things in common. 

An idea struck me like lightening. What if I was also related to someone like this. With the services of Mr. Google I found out that I was born on the same day as Jinnah died. Yes, that same Jinnah who wanted a Pakistan. And yeah that's the same day the unfortunate twin towers terror attack took place. The very next moment I found myself trying to shove the stupid stigma stricken thoughts out of my dumb head. I just wanted someone else to relate to. Why? I don't know. And I don't want to answer even if I know because of the horrors of what could come next. (But if you still want to know, here is my answer- I HATE politics.)

Well, I searched and searched and finally got another popular name. Mahadevi Verma, a Hindi poetess. Well yes!! I do write poetry. Maybe she is my muse. A female role model that I could look up to. 

As soon as I did this exercise I thought that I should share it with you fine people. Try it with yourself. You might get a path that suits you!!!  This will give us a chance to remember a person with unimaginable talent and a story that inspires. 
AAAAAAnd don't forget to mention yours in the comments.
See ya!!

The Flight

Weight of a thousand words on quaint pages With black ink dancing on the white floor The enchanting aroma of the binding Shrouding the stuff of magic and amour A dream of midsummer night and The bloody knife through Ceaser's heart A thing of science and the secret of infinite The heir of the rich carries it all The muser, the miser,  The popper and his hopper Imagined the wonders, the four walls hide The bliss, he thinks won't be amiss If he was there and his dreams took flight Not all are fortunate to attain  the joy of learning.There are  few  who  only dream of it.

The ghost of the past

  While we cannot live without history, we need not live within it either. -Argumentative Indian, Amartya Sen Diving deep into history is like chasing a sea monster. You hear stories and accept it for what it is. The next thing you know is that you are leading an armada to hunt the moster. From the Israel - Palestine issue to Pakistani transgressions in Indian territory- all are a product of historical disputes. I must admit that my knowledge is limited to comment on history but my admission is not enough. (I’m insignificant since my thoughts won’t influence many. Maybe you, the reader, are the only one who would know them.) Unlike me, some people have power- like media or leaders of various organizations- who claim to know everything. I don't doubt their skills or wisdom. They go through umpteen sources before concluding. I'm more worried that history has many versions. Which to believe and which to discard is chosen to suit one's convenience. Many a time the c...

WHAT IF?

What if, time was a friend That danced to my beats A fellow compeer till the end And not a chain round my wrist What if, the arrow never betrayed the bow, And stayed together not hurting a soul Better still, stayed with Cupid For love to blossom forever more What if, dreams were real And reality, a nightmare Which faded with a drop of sunshine Never to return, never to fear What if, all this were true Your time, actions and thoughts were controlled by you Then perhaps, failure would just be Somebody you once knew. -kaush
