  • Tourists

    It was at the first light of lifeThat they took the baby step.And continued to walk alongEven as they slept. Still bright and breezyWere they at the wee hours.Trudged through whileStill learning their powers. Amidst the blossoming yellowBathed, fed the fellows!Then around the noonTheir lives began to bloom. Their gaily souls traced the trails.Still young… Continue reading

  • Inner Voice

    I said, “I listen to you every time Yet you sound anew on each occasion.” “Some day, I’d sit back and listen to you,” it said. Or, perhaps, it was my assumption.

  • Only You

    Amongst the notes, she found a poem that, as a folded paper, was tucked inside a notebook. To her surprise, my handwriting looked completely different back then. To my surprise, my writing seemed completely different back then. She thought it was more artistic. I thought it was pretty lame of me to concentrate on rhyming… Continue reading

  • Memoir: Mathematics and Me

    Probably that is why, in Sanatana Dharma, there weren’t any mainstream subjects. Learning came through exploration as much as observation; through listening as much as doing; and, through all streams of knowledge that flew into this mind from all directions, giving it the influx of the much-needed wisdom.
