An evening at Worli

-

As I stand here, all alone
All by self and away from 'home'

Sea of people, sea of life
Some making memories 
Some bidding the time

A musky smell comes by the sea side
Failing to leave a mark
Failing to make any stride

A wind of suspicion blows through my hair
I often wonder when will it disappear

Sea of thoughts, questions of every kind
They often seek some answers
They often tingle my mind

Like the musky smell of the sea
Questions come and questions flee
Most of them don't leave a mark
But the thought thereafter leaves me in dark

Then I remember one golden line
A priceless virtue that transcends the time 
Words of great Tennyson puts me back in the 'field'
I pledge not to bow down, I pledge not to yield

An ode to the champions: Liverpool 2019

Kiev was a disaster, pain and despair Dream of the 6th was diminished, beyond repair "Will never win a final" said everyone "Not the end, only beginning" proclaimed the Normal one Starting of 2019 wasn't like the previous one Even though Napoli, PSG and Bayern were undone Then the Reds faced Porto, a sense of Deja Vu 6-1 in two legs and Liverpool went through Barcelona in semifinal, maestro Messi's might 3-0 at Camp Nou gave agony, nightmare and plight Salah, Firmino were out; final seemed a distant dream But it was Jurgen's Redmen, not your ordinary team "Let's fail in the most beautiful way" said the German gaffer Destiny smiled back, as football God wrote a love letter Kop sang the anthem as time stood still Gini and Origi scored a brace, LFC won Four Nil Then it was time for Madrid, the final game Liverpool won 2-0 as Origi rose to fame Almost a million welcomed the team, overjoyed and...

Equations of life

-
Few days back Prof. Bijan Sarkar (Yes! the same professor from "Opportunity" ) said a thought provoking thing: "f(Knowledge)= Package" It seems pretty random (no pun intended)? Isn't it? Let me explain. One of the students of Dr. Sarkar asked him about the placement package of a department. And in reply Professor said that "Package is the function of Knowledge" Now it makes sense, doesn't it? Anyways, coming back to the so called 'equation'. The math nerd in me couldn't help but shed some light on it further. And what I found was pretty intriguing. In mathematics we know, y= f(x)= [some equation which relates x to f(x)]. Now there are different type of equations. Logarithmic, exponential, linear and what not. So, if Professor Sarkar's equation to hold true, f(k) ( calling knowledge as k) should have a right hand side too. Isn't it? It actually has that! So what is the RHS part here? It is actually not constant. For someone,...

Opportunity

Opportunity  is  a  window  in  life  to  make  some  positive  changes.  It  can come in different forms such as tangible and intangible. A proactive mind with desire will always introspect about life events and envisage whether there can be an opportunity for self-upliftment of any form. Just like I did here!  While  writing  about  ‘Opportunity’,  I  took  the  opportunity  to cultivate some disordered and scattered thoughts and penned them down in an ordered and organised way. After analysing one’s strength and weakness, one should always analyse the available opportunities, then and then only one can better him/herself and  travel  the  perceived  road.  On  the  other  hand,  being  in  complete oblivion  about  the  available  opportunities  will  not  only  make ...
