Remembering #Prof. N. S. #Ramaswamy- his letter from my memorabilia

One day, Prof. N. S. Ramaswamy came to my office in Sardar Patel Bhavan and sat with me for over two hours. I remember a statement he made- “You are like a circus juggler, handling so many hats at the same time”! With humility I mumbled, “That is my expertise and training, Sir”! When he went back he wrote me a letter from Bangalore, which I chanced upon today in my memorabilia.

My personal homage to a great man, thinker, reformer, scientist, educationist and  engineer! Above all a great human being!

Raastey by #Sandeep #Silas ‘deep’

Raastey

Raastey

Sandeep Silas ‘deep’

Tamam raastey uskey samney they, chalta kis par

Taqdeer ka wo badshah tha, badalta kyun kar

Ishq bhi kiya to Khuda se, ruhaniyat uskey sar 

Ek ek kar ke girtey rahey, insaan chaukhat par

Gairon ka laya zahar peeta raha, wo shahad samajh kar

Uskey qa’atil jo aye they, gaye mureed ban kar

Apney lahu ko bahata raha, jiskey liye zindagi bhar 

Wo jigar ka tukda, hisaab mangta raha, gin gin kar

Moo-e-badan ho gaye chandi, safar mein chal kar

Tajurba iss tilismi duniya ka, pura na hua magar 

Farebi shahar mein rekhta zameer wo chunta kyun kar

Fakeeri uska aalam thi, darakhton ki ameeri uska ghar

Ankhon mein wafa nahin milti ab iss daur mein hamsafar 

Tujhko diye jaatey hain kuchh roshni ‘deep’  apna jaan kar 

(Jan 22, 2017; Delhi; 1.24 pm to 2.07 pm)

Paths

Sandeep Silas ‘deep’

So many paths were before him, which one to take?

He was King of his destiny, why would he change?

When he fell in love it was with God, spirituality filled him

One by one the men kept falling, before him at doorstep

He drank the poison brought to him, believing it be honey

Those who came to murder him, went back as his admirers

For the one he kept bleeding his heart his entire life

That portion of heart kept on keeping count of money

 Hair turned silver over his body as he walked the path of life

The experiences of this magic world still he could not live full

In a city of cheats, why would he pick up scattered conscience

A mendicants life was his world, the richness of trees his home

 In these Times you don’t find faith in eyes, my companion

‘Deep” continues to give you some light, thinking you his own
