A Tightrope to Hope

    Signing Off Bidding Farewell to Purdue...


I stand by the fountain, taking in it's glory
While it tells me its story of ENDURANCE

How the water springs out like diamonds in sunlight
powerful and bright in MAGNIFICENCE

How the droplets take flight into the clear skies
Only some escape its reprise of PERSEVERANCE

And yet how they try for try they must!
To offer a refreshing gust of HOPE

To someone like me who admires its grace
The beauty in its embrace of LOVE

The endurance of magnificence
The perseverance of hope
Aren't they a teaching
For a day on tightrope?

The heavy water needed to control Nuclear Fission had been provided by the US. So what made India abstain from performing the nuclear test and from becoming the first Nuclear Power? It is probably the chaste intention to maintain a mellow camaraderie with the other countries or a mere lack of grit in the Indian leadership. Meanwhile India refused to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty in 1970.  When questioned over it, our ambassador to t

Do you know what a breathalyzer is? The device that cops use to estimate whether a driver is drunk or not. Yes that one in which you breath into the device and it tells you whether you have had alcohol. Well, if there were a breathalyzer to detect the level of stress in a person at a certain point of time we would all be taking the test. It would become a household commodity like the weighing scale. People would measure stress every morning before leaving home and every night before sleeping. Psychiatrists and Psychologists would make you take the test before they call you in for an appointment. Now imagine if this device could measure the stress according to the category of stress - the alcohol analogy would be: measuring the alcohol content by the type of alcohol; how much whisky, how much beer, how much wine and how much vodka has been consumed? Take -stress due to family issues, stress due to social issues, stress due to personal issues, stress due to workplace issues and so on..
