Honey Hive

-
The account of the main event day remains to be written. I will write it as soon as possible. Till then here is one more poem i wrote...




I yearned for privacy
When we were five
Cluttered in a small room
Like a busy bee hive

We ate, we slept
We laughed, we cried
Together we enjoyed
Life’s roller coaster ride

I wished for some space
For myself to reconcile
Some time to sit alone
And train my mind, docile

Five reduced to four
And four changed to three
Chasing our goals in life
We set ourselves free

Now I have my space
I have the time I need
But, I don’t know how to spend it
I drop a tear bead

We still talk often
Share each day’s account
Yet I am lonely and
My insecurities mount

Now I know the power
Of a cluttered honey hive
To make sweet honey
Together they strive

    Its a terrible tug-of-war isn't it? We crave for privacy and at the same time want our loved ones close. Beautiful poem, very close to the truth :)

When The Buddha Smiled on India...

On 12 th October 1973, David Davies- a geophysicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who worked on seismic detection of underground nuclear tests- predicted that India would be the sixth country to conduct nuclear weapon tests. After 7 months he was proven correct by the ingenuity of Indian scientists and the fortitude of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Canada sold a 40 megawatt Canadian-Indian Reactor, U.S. (CIRUS) to India in 1956. India had the necessary manpower and capacity to develop and test a nuclear weapon. 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 ...

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.....
