September 11

Expectant faces,
Fearful faces,
Peeping out of windows.
Office hours had JUST begun
But how could life be over?
Suddenly, definitely, precisely
And clinically for everyone.
We were just balancing
The morning coffee in one hand,
And files in another?
A lightening struck,
To plunge everything
And everyone in darkness.
Would we melt together
With concrete and mortar?
Was it our destiny
To be one with steel girdles?
And not with mother earth?
What had we done
In our lives,
To not deserve a few feet
Of the earth?
But to evaporate
With the vapor of morning coffee?

  1. Hi Alka,
    I was looking thru Google for Prof Vashishtha Narayan Singh when I came across your article on Sir Richard Hawking. You are true.. not a single page on the Web talks about Sri Vashishtha Narayan Singh.
    The article by you also talks about another article on Sri Singh which i think you never wrote. Please let me know of Sri Vashishtha Narayan, his where abouts and more on how he got to that state.
    Please may be we can make a difference to his life
    regards
    Niraj

  3. Friends
    If you are talking about the Great Mathematician Prof Vashishtha Narayan Singh who belongs to Bihar, i had had opportunity to met him in Year 2002 at his native place called Basant pur which is nearly 80 km away from capital town Patna.Myself along with my friends had gone to his native place on a special mission BASANTPUR to take DARSHAN OF SUCH A GREAT PERSONALITY OF INDIA & we found that he doesn’t meet anyone & always keeps doing some mathmatical calculation & reserach.Somehow he had agreed to meet us & we had managed to take his snaps also which was published in next days newspaper Hindustan & Dainik Jagaran with a small article on our visit & his condition. But i don,t have latest update on him.

  5. Hi,

    This is an earnest behest if someone could send me or let me know the website link of the mathemical works pioneered and carried out by great mathematician Dr. Vashishtha Narayan Singh.

    I belong to Bihar,the same state of India, this legendary mathematician comes from and seek the glimpse of an iota of his contributions to mathematics if I could comprehend.

    Thanks in anticipation,

  6. Yes Acharya Vashista Narayan Singh was the gem of Bhojpur.He was faculty member of not only ISI but also of UC Berkley,IIT Kanpur,TIFR etc.
    There is a rumour that some envious Bengalis of ISI could not digest the fact that a person from Bihar(Bhojpur region) was the gem among them and this led to politics which led to first mental breakdown of this great saint scientist.The final nail to coffin came when his upper class socialite wife thought the saint is too intellectual and not social and divorced him.
    His PHD thesis can be found here
    Reproducing kernels and operators with a cyclic vector. I.

    make no mistake only Raanujam is a guy who could have beaten him in Mathematics in India.His work led to his direct selection into faculty of UC berkley.

  7. Various spheres of people’s life utilize a lot of time and efforts, thence why should we waste life time for literature term paper accomplishing? This is greater to use really professional essay writing service to order the sample essay from, I think so.
