The Holy Elephant God

Ganesha, my dear Lord and the Holy Elephant;
You are the inspiration to this blessed infant!

As a kid, i admired Your fancy appearance
even as i played with my little friends.
The adoration still continues,
as i try to step into Your shoes.

As i grew up trying to learn and explore,
i have come to know more and more.
The stories about Your zoomorphism
surely provide me wealth and wisdom.

Your large Head representing the Ultimate Soul
teaches me to be magnanimous by heart and soul.
You use a little mouse as Your vehicle,
reminding me to be modest and simple.

The goad that You carry to clear the obstacles
preaches me to be prepared to face the troubles.
Your tiny eyes, sharp and unfussed-
teach me to stay poised and focussed.

From Your big ears, wide and patiently open:
i learn to be ready to listen and be open.
Seeing the laddu in Your trunk, that You hold-
"Discover the sweetness in life", i am told.

Everything about You is an invaluable lesson
that i try to emulate with utmost passion.
You are not just an idol to pray,
but an usher showing the way.

Ganesha, my dear Lord and the Holy Elephant;
You are the inspiration to this blessed infant!

Getting Closer

It’s a journey HE created for us;
setting our starts and the ends.
The distance we know not,
but the means is in our hands!

In this journey of our life,
day by day, we slowly traverse.
At times confused and at times thrilled,
we see the better and the worse.

Going through the highs and the lows,
we fail and we also succeed.
With each day we get closer to HIM,
getting wiser and gaining speed.

Today I am at twenty nine,
Blessed by HIM, going fine!
With each breath of mine,
Just getting better like wine.

Waiting for "Her"

I am an unwritten lyric,
trying to capture imagination.
I am waiting for her appearance,
to pen down a beautiful poem.

I am a rayless darkness,
waiting for the sunshine.
I am waiting for her arrival,
to ignite a dawn of eternal delight.

I am a quiet silence,
earless to the deafening chaos.
I am waiting to hear her voice,
to get immersed in soothing music.

I am an empty vacuum,
void and desperate to be occupied.
I am waiting for her to walk in,
to replenish me with her charm.

I am a waterless dryness,
anticipating rain drops.
I am waiting to feel her,
to submerge in the sea of ecstasy.

I am a barren land,
unploughed and futile.
I am waiting for her occurence,
to yield a perennial harvest of joy.

I am a nonreactive numbness,
contemplating a sensuous feeling.
I am waiting for her gracious touch,
to experience the extreme pleasure.

Plea for Love

In my sleep and in my consciousness
Loves you my heart and all my soul.
Only your image appears everywhere:
Virtual, yet bright, right in my heart.
Enter into my life, to trigger our journey;
You are the one I am waiting to live with.
Offer thine sweet love to me
Until my lonely heart quenches its thirst.


This was my first poem ever, written when I was 12 yrs old, for my dream gal... The dream is yet to be realized... ::)

NanoTechnology

Nanotechnology refers broadly to a field of applied science and technology whose unifying theme is the control of matter on the atomic and molecular scale, and the fabrication of devices with critical dimensions that lie within nano size range.

"I want to build a billion tiny factories, models of each other, which are manufacturing simultaneously. . . The principles of physics, as far as I can see, do not speak against the possibility of maneuvering things atom by atom. It is not an attempt to violate any laws; it is something, in principle, that can be done; but in practice, it has not been done because we are too big."
— Richard Feynman, Nobel Prize winner in physics

Today’s manufacturing methods are very crude at the molecular level. In the future, nanotechnology will let us snap together the fundamental building blocks of nature easily, inexpensively and in most of the ways permitted by the laws of physics. This will be essential if we are to continue the revolution in computer hardware beyond about the next decade, and will also let us fabricate an entire new generation of products that are cleaner, stronger, lighter, and more precise.

Manufactured products are made from atoms. The properties of those products depend on how those atoms are arranged. If we rearrange the atoms in coal we can make diamond. If we rearrange the atoms in sand (and add a few other trace elements) we can make computer chips. If we rearrange the atoms in dirt, water and air we can make potatoes.

If we are to continue these trends we will have to develop a new manufacturing technology which will let us inexpensively build computer systems with mole quantities of logic elements that are molecular in both size and precision and are interconnected in complex and highly idiosyncratic patterns. Nanotechnology will let us do this.

For comparison, 10 nanometers is 1000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. A scientific and technical revolution has just begun based upon the ability to systematically organize and manipulate matter at nanoscale. Payoff is anticipated within the next 10-15 years.

Nanotechnology, in its advanced form, will have significant impact on almost all industries and all areas of society. It will offer better built, longer lasting, cleaner, safer, and smarter products for the home, for communications, for medicine, for transportation, for agriculture, and for industry in general.

Imagine a medical device that travels through the human body to seek out and destroy small clusters of cancerous cells before they can spread. Or a box no larger than a sugar cube that contains the entire contents of the the biggest Library on Earth. Or materials much lighter than steel that possess ten times as much strength.

Sweet Dreams beneath Bitter Chores

The sun resumed to his task again
piercing rays thru’ my blanket even.

Actually, I should be very busy-
but, I lay on my pallet very lazy.

I know I have to attend my college;
but my calendar is still in its old page.

Why is this thing always happening
troubling me early in the morning?

Never mind, I don’t let such thoughts creep;
For, I enjoy the sweet dreams in my sleep!


This was written during my engineering days,
when I used to pray for lengthy nights... :P

Positive Thinking

Here are some of the famous quotes by famous personalities on postive thinking.

"A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes."
-Mahatma Gandhi

"There is a little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative."
-W.Clement

"I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today."
-William Allen

"Positive anything is better than negative nothing."
-Elbert Hubbard

"Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will."
-Ziq Ziqlar

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty"
-Winston Churchill

"There is something positive about everything in life. Even a stopped clock shows correct time twice a day."
-Ravi Prasad Reddy

Having said that...
"Positive thoughts are not enough. There have to be positive feelings and positive actions."
-Ravi Prasad Reddy[me myself :-) ]
B +ve. Thats my blood group too.

Where are you?

Where are you? My dear, my love!
Where are you? My breath, my life!

I see you here,
I see you there,
I see you everywhere-
I find you nowhere!

You inspire me to be what I am.
You remind me to do what I should.
You make me scream, you make me cry.
You keep me quiet, you keep me happy.

I am waiting to meet you,
I am waiting to see you.
I am waiting to know you,
I am waiting to be with you.

Where are you? My dear, my love!
Where are you? My breath, my life!

A warm Welcome
