Diversity

Colours, numbers, sounds,
smells, patterns and letters.
Five different sense organs
to feel the same,
but one entity to control them all.

A fly's trivial, tiny head
houses a thousand eyes,
while man's houses just two.
And the ear doubles as the eye
for one peculiar mammal.
Is a fly's tiny head really trivial then?

What is man in the mad cosmic chaos?
Yet, comprehend the universe's vastness
only he can.
A strange feeling of proud humility,
a unique case of humble pride.
How different is man to the universe
from a fly's head?
Infinity exists on both extremes.

If the stars we see today
are several billion years old,
how many billion years will it take
to see the star that was born just now?

Marvel at nature's greatness -
any time we can.
Worship nature -
always we must.

Not all fishes in the ocean
are the same,
not all birds
have the same plumage.
Not all reptiles
move the same way,
not all plants
are peace-loving and quiet.

Man appreciates diversity
in the lower forms of life,
even hails nature
for imparting it.

Yet, he torments his brethren
for the exact same reason.
What an irony!
Man.

I'll miss you a lot dear brother

I look at you with a sense of fraternity,

You are not apart from me,

You are a part of me.

I'll miss you a lot dear brother.


Many a moment of joy have I had with you,

With a minuscule dosage of disappointment here and there.

I cherish those memories greatly, as I know

I'll miss you a lot dear brother.


You taught me to bat, you taught me to bowl.

You taught me to live life on the whole.

I'll try to be happy though I'm sure

I'll miss you a lot dear brother.


My mentor, my role model, my source of inspiration,

How can I ever forget you and all that celebration!

I have realized that nothing is eternal in this world,

With love being an exception.

It has bound us together and made our bond immortal.


With loving hearts and truth by our side,

We'll be together forever dear brother.

Long Live the Brotherhood

Musical notes running through your veins,

Bring joy wherever you go.

Allowing me to make fun of you,

Laughing for my dumbest jokes,

All cannot get a brother like you,

Skilful artists like you are very few.

Unchanging is your sweet nature.

Being cheerful is your greatest feature.

Remaining as the same brother I saw as a kid,

Always ready to come to my aid.

Many have come and many have gone.

Affecting me in the best way they can, but

None can ever replace your slot,

In the unseen depth of my loving heart.

A caring brother and a truthful friend.

May God keep you happy till the end.
