Why??

Why??

  Dust and fragments Covered the earth, That once was a garden.   Instead of cherries on trees, It now had dried blood, And pieces of human flesh.   Pebbles were replaced, With empty shells And metal fragments.   The greenery gave way to, Grey,...

Loss

Loss

  Heavy on heart, Haunting the mind, Loss leaves an impression, That creates a void.   Loss, just four letters, Is a word that's inevitable, But dreaded by  Every human on earth.   Loss of a loved one, A dear one, Oh… that's hard, To adjust and move on....

Chandrayaan – An Acrostic

Charging our scientific prowess,  Heralding a new tomorrow,  Applauding the ancestors who,  Nurtured science in the ancient days.  Demystifying the myths that India can't Rebuild on its vast knowledge and intelligence,  Agile, we became when we launched,  Yonder we...

The Greatest Wanderer

The Greatest Wanderer

Who's the greatest wanderer,  Have you ever thought,  Who can it be?    Thoughts drift,  From present to past,  And to the future too.    The path that is taken,  Is sometimes known,  And sometimes unexplored too.    The journey is pleasant,  At times...
