Winter Halo- 22/10/10

-

Miracles are rare
I stand and stare
In a sky that is bare
On a full moon day!


No stars to adorn
No clouds it has worn
Oh why does it mourn?
On a full moon day…


But then up high
My eyes did fly
On the tallest sky
What a wonderful day!


The moon sat petite
Very proudly lit
A beaming grit
On its own birthday…

Enclosed in a ring
Under a protective wing
Of a big faint lining
On a pitch black bay.


Its engagingly crisp
It stunningly grips
Your eyes in a fix
A FULL MOON WITHIN AN ECLIPSE.

PS: photography by Neha Naik. Thanks neha! :-)

    hey, nice one, the last line is a bit confusing, the poem describes full moon day very nicely, but suddenly eclipse appeared. ( I feel that eclipse can also be highlighted in the earlier stanzas)

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 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..
