A simple man
who wore
next to nothing
in protest
and in sympathy
to his beloved people
The man believed
in non-violence
truth, peace
and universal harmony
said, he has nothing new
to teach to the world
He was only human
yet, he was a saint
The mighty empire
bowed at his feet
not from fear
but from his love
For all the evils
the empire had done
he believed
"Return with gladness
good for evil done"
No words can match
what Einstein said
"Generations to come
will scarce believe
that such a one as this
walked the earth
in flesh and blood"
With the name of God
on his lips
third shot rang
and the great man fell.

Destiny?
Few days back a bird laid an egg on a stairs leading to my terrace. As the nest was on 3rd or 4th step and cat frequenting that area the egg was surely going to be cat snack.
In all my good intension I decided to move the nest to some place safer. So I created a new home for the birdie with a wire cloth hanger and an aluminum plate. When I came back at night from office I was disappointed not to see the bird in new place, however that disappointment quickly turned to smug satisfaction of having saved a life when I saw the bird sitting in the nest next morning.
I was happy to see the bird every mornings and evenings.
Fast forward to today, huge gust of wind blew away the nest, egg splattered on the floor.
