THE GODFATHER OF PHYSICS

 

He was born in the City of Joy

Although the times weren't that good,

But none was aware of the revolution

Of which, his birth was just the prelude.

Brother of six sisters, the only male child

Responsibilities rested on his shoulders,

Perhaps the hardship that he faced in his childhood

Built him and made him as strong as a boulder.

As a student, he was brilliant

As a human, so gentle

Yet had the intelligence

To uproot and dismantle,

The traditional approaches

That had bound the veterans

And compel them to rethink

On their own boasted theorems.

In his first year of Bachelors, 

He had set such a record

That glows in a golden hue

And none could ever afford

To surpass his wit, 

In the Mathematics paper

He scored a hundred and ten

And amazed the examiner.

And with that, he rang the bells of glory

A glory to shower fortune

Because of his career, he made along

For mankind, was no less than a boon.

He started a family in his early twenties

But his love was only in science

His aim his goal his passion as a whole

Were locked in the chests of time.

He dived with charges,

He worked with machines

But none could quench his thirst

Because he was so determined

To know the vast universe.

"Was it the mass, was it the charge

Or was it the nuclear story?"

Bose had no answers to all these questions

What his mind had, were only worries.

He worked harder and harder, all day and all night

Penning equations and solving them true

And venturing into the quantum well

To fetch some findings new

But there was a problem which he later discovered

Was actually causing him a loss

His logical theories contradicted

With many theories of the boss

His papers were stolen, and his ideas too

And sometimes even bullied for being right.

Because the truth was, in that India

Praises were reserved for the whites.

But as a cloud can never stop the shining sun

From enlightening the earth under

Once his luck just clicked in favour

And that caused all the wonder.

His letters and theorems reached the legend,

Whom the world admired

And those powerful papers even etched his hands

And Einstein could feel the fire.

The fire that India had long behold

In the diamonds and jewels of her brain

That became a pioneer for the man of light

And reignited the flame.

A whole new statistics, a whole new vision

A vision that shook Berlin from Dhaka

That all the eyes so puddled in ego

Now opened by the divine saga.

A new set of particles, a new state of matter

Were born from the magical equations

The dark man of Bengal has pioneered

The man of light in his missions.

But jealousy and critics did never end with him

Because Einstein's letter never reached

To the office of Dr S. N. Bose

On the way, it was trapped and breached.

And hence possibly, he lost his Noble

But a nobler life he had lead

And had gifted Physics with the God Particle

And this made his fame widespread.

Although our Government had honoured him

With the esteemed Padma Vibhusan

But what he achieved was even bigger, 

He was the father of Bosons.

An inspiration, he is for all

Such a man of brilliance and ethics,

That even a thousand suns seem weaker

Before the Godfather of Physics.
