I'm Learning So Many Different Ways to be Quiet
Looking at the night sky,
I'm quiet.
I ponder about the depths
of the universe.
Its planets, stars, and galaxies.
Looking at the world go by,
I'm quiet.
I ponder about the depths,
Of the people.
Their joys, wishes, and sorrows.
Looking at my mobile screen,
I'm quiet.

Their colors, swipe, and scroll.
Looking at my wife and kids,
I'm quiet.
I ponder about the depths,
Of their hurt.
Seeing me so quiet.

फुर्सत
The post goes beyond the picture it paints for me because SpaceNET was my first company, and Shuvam was my first mentor. When I joined, SpaceNET was called Starcom.
Yet again.
For what it’s worth, I’ve been telling myself that my spoken words do the job. But, the written word is what gets me to the stage of offering the spoken.
The sweetest sound
You might feel I am high right now, but hear me out.
What do you not have enough of?
I live near the HAL airport in Bangalore. It is used for airforce test flights. Once in a while, some VIP planes will land here. The king and queen of England landed here last month when they were on a private visit to Bengaluru.
