THE IMMORTAL GEM

My solemn homage to the greatest industrialist and the true architect of India. My condolence for the timeless philanthropist and the torch-bearer of humanity. May we be blessed to follow his footsteps upon the sands of time and evolve not as homo-sapiens but as humans in the truest sense. 


THE IMMORTAL GEM

On a Thursday of October, 2024
Amidst the tears of hundreds of crores,
Along the Arabian sea's garrulous shores
Departs the Legend, for his final abode.

Leaving upon the sands of time
A trail of sacrifices, serene and sublime.
Enlightening million lives with the eternal fire
Beaconing with courage, backed with desire.

Reminding the folk to always look up
And stride ahead with integrity,
In order to form the base of a strong nation
Leaded with quality, upheld with dignity.

He taught us to break the rules
The rules that hinder growth,
To build a strong practice of learning
In the highs and in the lows.

He showed us to deal with life, the best
To makes lemonades when it gives lemons,
To battle with courage, even if unarmed
And to win each of them, fighting demons.

He made us understand the fine line
Between self-respect and ego,
To have the guts to acquire Ford Motors
And yet be flexible to withdraw the Nanos.

To expand the horizons
And embrace innovations,
To value the vintage
Yet patronize creations.

To live like a monk, amidst all wants
To donate like Cyrus, and not to be a miser.
To fill our void with compassion and knowledge
Not only to be wealthy each day, but also to be wiser.

He showed that patriots aren't only those
Who defend our borders with artilleries and arms,
But each of us can be a true patriot
If we stay a loyal plant to our own farms.

Swords cut deep, but pens cut deeper
And inflict a damage, harder than a blow,
As after 26/11 all contracts were cancelled
And Pakistan was not getting a single Sumo.

Never did he think to scale up his treasury
And preferred sharing for all the needy,
As he believed, it was a curse to see misery
While filling pockets like a worthless greedy.

And there were several men who built businesses
But only he committed to build the nation,
As an empire of gold never sustains
If there is no soil for aspiration.

And thus, the synonym of Angel on earth
When departed for the tower of silence,
Created a vacuum in all our souls
A vacuum so loud and so turbulent.

That even the skies were upset that day
As they rained their grief,
As the silent tears of Tito sighed
That we have lost our chief!

But great souls, are never really lost
They are up above the mortal game,
As the vision of Ratan Tata would be always alive
Alive, as the Immortal Gem.

THE CYBER FRIEND

  THE CYBER FRIEND Lucifer     Life is an amazing journey. No one knows where they are going to land. Some earn unbound fame and some become latent depending on time, situation, and state of mind. But the fact is, no one can predict or know in advance how it is all going to be. Some say that is the fun about life. While some feel a bit more comfortable knowing stuff beforehand. And sometimes life itself plays it mesmerisingly        It all begins with the lockdown of 2020. The world was served miseries by China's first authentic product, the Novel Corona Virus. This had a great impact on the entire globe, snatching jobs, causing discomfort, unbound number of infection cases, and deaths. Those who survived were living in trauma. Relative, friends, and loved ones were lost, governments became bankrupt. On one such remorseful evening, Ranveer went up the terrace and stood quietly. Suddenly a call comes and he rushes down to attend to it. He sits by his l...

FROM THE OTHER END : PART 1

      Adi went to bed very late that night. Luckily, the next day was Sunday. So he could peacefully sleep for a long time. But wait. You guys don't know what he had actually done. Neither did Adi himself know. Well, before jumping into his weirdest works, let me give you a brief heads up about this talented guy and his works of talent. Well, I am not making any sarcastic remarks here. Adi indeed was talented. After all, he was a student at the prestigious Cambridge University. A brilliant student with an exceptional brain in Quantum Computing. Legends claim that he was previously a hacker who used to hack around for noble causes. Like the deletion of thousands of vulgar content from the dark web, targeting and bankrupting paedophiles and transferring that money to welfare organizations and NGOs, being completely hidden. Although there has been no strong evidence to prove that but his daily lifestyle proves the claim. Adi is a typical nerd. He gets up late, rushes to his ...

Mission: HAYABUSA

  MISSION HAYABUSA --- Lucifer     Once someone rightly said, "If you want something from the very bottom of your heart, you will definitely get it someday. Maybe later, but for sure." Love too follows the rule. Separations can come, and hearts might get broken due to certain scenarios. But if you stick to your faith in love, you will find it one day.       As Perman was leaving for the Bird planet, Pako was waving goodbye, along with her colleagues, Payan and Booby. But little did she know that the departures would be so painful. That night, when Pako sat on her bed, removed her Perman set, and turned into herself, into Sumire Hoshino, she began to feel a queer pain down her heart. She felt as if something was missing. She took her Perman badge and was about to make Perman a call. But then she remembered what Birdman had said. "You cannot use it for personal purposes. You will need to use it only when you are in an emergency and need backup." So she refrai...
