God - The Greatest Engineer

This post is another of the poems I wrote during the Engineering days. I read an article on God's Engineering skills, and thought, as an Engineer, I should pay my tribute to Him.

This picture is for the "Divine Presence", which touches our life in ways, that cannot be described. We may call God, with different names, look up to Him in different forms, and probably pray to Him in different ways, but the "Divine Presence or Cosmic Energy" remains the same.

So, being an Engineer, and a part-time poet ;-), this is my way of offering "Homage".

God is the Greatest Engineer,
In every branch of any field;
Nothing made by man comes near,
To even the least of His Creation’s yield!

He is great in the CTM way; (CTM is Construction Technology and Methods)
We’ve built the hundreds storeys,
But higher stand His peaks away,
Which form the foundations of His Glory!

What better are Mechanical marvels seen!
Than the Sun Engine driving rain’s cycle,
Which is grander than the best machine
Or any land, water or air vehicle!

The thunder and the lightning prove,
That much more Electrical force,
Than flows from any man made groove,
Comes from the Almighty’s source!

To show that there is none to par,
In Electronics and Communication, the Lord,
Made most complex wires and bars
Which are the Nerves, of brain and spinal cord!

Though we make wonder drugs today,
And Chemicals that give comfort and bliss;
The tiny particles that lay,
The very Foundations to these are His!

God’s the Greatest Engineer,
But not for His scorching sun,
Mountains, Nerves or Pills! No, no my dear!
These don’t make Him the best one.

To establish, there’s none as great;
This I can say, and stay of worth,
He wrote the Software Code of Life,
On the Computer of the Earth!!!

P.S. The end is like this, because, I am a Computer Engineer. :-)

To All my Friends...!

This poem, though is dedicated to all my WONDERFUL Friends, I have a SPECIAL dedication on this one to Ashish Sharma (more popularly known as "Ashu" or "Sharma"). He is probably the guy who deserves it more than anyone else.

One more thing, this poem is not completely ORIGINAL, because it is BASED on the starting stanza that Ashish made. I added more lines and made it what it is. This also is among the few poems I wrote in Hindi (Thanks to Ashish to inspire me to write in Hindi). So, in case you do not like this one, you know who my Teacher was, don't you?

And one more thing, before you start,

I am pathetic at Hindi Jodni, so please forgive that part. I would need some help at correcting it as well. ;-)

शराबी नही हे हम,
पी लेंगे शराब फिर भी;
ऐ दोस्त तेरी यादों में,
जी लेंगे सारी जिन्दगी.

शिकायत हो कोई हमसे,
तो कर देना अभी,
उन गलतियों के समंदर में,
जी लेंगे सारी जिन्दगी.

रखना नही कोई शिकवा हमसे,
देते हे तुम्हे कसम अपनी,
तुम जैसे दोस्तों पर,
कुर्बान हे सारी जिन्दगी.

ये चंद दिनों के साथ को,
जीना हे इस कदर,
के लगे इन चार सालों में,
हम ने जिली सारी जिंदगी.

आ पहुंचे हे उस मकाम पर,
मुख्मोद लेंगे दिल तोड़ कर,
दर्द के दरियों में,
अब कैसी लगे गी जिंदगी?

हे फरियाद हमारी इतनी,
भूल न जन किसी मोड़ पर.
आपकी इन्ही यदून के भरोसे,
जिलेंगे साडी जिंदगी.

पानी हे मंजिल अब,
पर छोट न जाए साथ अब,
दोस्तों की बेफई के साथ,
मौत से भी बुरी लगेगी ये जिंदगी.

हे मेरी ये कमाना, मिलेंगे किसी मोड़ पर,
फिरसे करेंगे लडाई और जगदे,
बंटके हसी और खशी,
जी लेंगे ये जिंदगी...

A Tribute To All My Wonderful Nirma Friends

I wrote this poem in December just before the 8th Semester project would seperate me from a lot of our buddies. The poem has been changed slightly, and I probably shared it with some people, but then I thought that if this Blog is titled "Rushin Speaks...", this is something that cannot be removed from the list.
So, this is dedicated to all the WONDERFUL Friends, I got from Nirma. I may or may not have pictures of all of you here, but the wonderful memories are always with me to cherish.

Dear friend, can you lend me an ear,
There is something I want you to hear,
As the graduation day keeps coming near,
I feel I’m leaving back something very dear,
Silently, my heart weeps a tear.

When, from school, I came here, (to Nirma)
I had with me, nothing but fear,
But with you around things soon fell into gear,
Our relation that I once considered mere,
Soon became the thing I considered dear.

The talks that we made day and night,
Made my mind go up and tight,
Though there is no reason to write,
I’ve used my share of may and might,
Was wonderful fun and absolutely no fight...

Lucky am I to have true friends,
Who did not change with the changing trends,
Your were with me on straights and bends,
Solving my mistakes, making the mends,
I hope our journey together never ends....
