With time flowers of life blooms
From buds of inspiration in heart
With petals of serenity soft and tender
To whose beauty whole humanity surrenders.
This beats of nature rhythm
Fills everyone’s heart with wisdom
To rise with love and affection
And to spread everywhere kindness vision.
The sight of hope is far and beyond
Bathing you with serenity where your feet land the ground
And the direction for you to be in civilized society
Is in the song of the bird’s beauty.
So fill your life with beautiful colors
From the nature resources
For once in a lifetime moving in a direction
Where lies your happiness destination.
But when the gaze fell up
The sea gulls sang never give up
Encouraging to move forward one step
As waves retraced back another step.
Thus the nature kisses and wishes
Guiding you away from stress
So happiness is all around
To keep you warm and sound.
All true art is the expression of the soul. Poetry is no exception. In the recently published book 'Golden Horizon" Dr.Biplab Majumdar in one of his haikus says,
Indian poetry
Springs from Nature
And ends in deep spirituality
Which is true. Indian ancient culture is richest in the history of the world.. The great sage Shri Adi Shankarcharya once came across the old poor women, who offered a small fruit with great devotion. The sage was so moved that at that instant he formed and uttered a sloka in the form of poetry that gold coins showered from the sky on the old women.
Else where in the planet too the old flock lore played a great role in foretelling the calamities of the Nature.For example in October 2004 issue of National Geographic magazine in the article about Volcanoes in U.S.A. Hawaii National park in pacific ocean, the sequence of volcanoes is clear in flock lore of Hawaii pacific legend what is described in chant and song is the metaphor of what really happened. Scientist now regret it was all in the stories if they had the foresight to look there first.
Now let us look at our own tsunami of 2004. In hindu cosmology the universe is created anew out of cosmic ocean over and over again. Each time it begins in golden age the Krita yuga and ends in the time of social disorder and individual wrongdoing Kali yuga.
The flood now becomes the doomsday flood or pralaya which means at the end of the four ages of eon.
In oldest extant of Indian variant from about 900 B.C. the Shatabdha Brhamana, the first human being Manu, the Indian Adam, a tiny fish asks Manu to save him from big fish who which otherwise eat him. Fish eat fish is Sanskrit equivalent of dog eat dog which means anarchy. Fish in return promises Manu to save him from great flood that is to come.
Manu saves the fish but not only himself alone but all creatures with the help of the fish which is the incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
More significantly the myth is the part of cycle of time involving fire as well as flood, which Robert Frost called "Fire and Ice".
As young poet practically speaking now literature is finding a place in management courses. Literature especially poetry helps to develop concentration in over whelming information and fragmented ideas.
So poetry is for the future and not only of the past.
Let poets be true celebrities of the planet along with adventurers, explorers and scientists.
It glows like lamp bright filled with sight
Casting the shadows away from thoughts
Making way for the breeze of serenity
To fulfill dreams with sanity.
So as darkness is filled with light
Heart sorrows will be light
And from seconds of ambiguity
You can move away with clarity.
The language the picture speaks
To soar high our mind awakes
Like smoke in chimney joins the sky
If we strive we can reach where our hope lies.
Glowing bright from the heart
The portrait drives deep thoughts
So it is one for the family
In every home to lead life cheerfully.
With the mast of the ship like flag fluttering
To reach where everyone's dreams are fulfilled
With different cultures moving in same direction
For the ship to reach the destination.
Where people are fed with knowledge
And country moves forward as it age
Being the one to be proud to live on
And with our hopes shine.
These are the last additions to the catalog of exoplanets compiled during the first phase of the Kepler mission, when the space telescope scanned some 200,000 stars in the Cygnus constellation in an effort to find worlds beyond our own. The official catalog now contains 4,034 total "candidates" - tiny blips in the data that are thought to signal the presence of a planet around a star. Of these, 49 fit squarely into their star's "habitable zone," that Goldilocks region where liquid water can pool on the surface and life may be able to thrive.
Cycle of life is far and beyond
But in meadow of youth spend
For your dream flowers to blossom
Which you cherish in your bosom.
Where dew drops caress your feet
When with serenity your goals you meet
Leading your journey step by step
Your memory for others to keep.
Eagle only satisfies its hunger
But here are men trying everything to acquire
Their greed flying high around
Polluting the environment they surround.
So let your mind be like azure sky
Only what you need to get to try
Then the end of the day what you hunt
In your life the time will be well spent.
The pressure of work like heat in the day
Will turn into cold soothing wind at night
Since there is light even in desert
Keep your aspiration high each day before sun sets.
So achieving successes even grain by grain
Will also lead you to the main lane
Driving you to the board with sign "there is gain after pain"
And honest efforts does not goes in vain.
The selfless service of the sun in the morn
When through its light flowers in plant blossom
Every day filling life and energy in our lawn
Painting the pleasant picture in our life’s each turn.
So to fulfill your dreams taking each step
While serenity of nature in your mind you keep
Where different flowers of race blooming beneath the one
You can live a life filled with fun.
But in the pocket of my heart
Sparkling memories of diamond of the past
Fill and glows in my thought
And I confidently laugh at the fate.
As stars are connected to the thoughts
And my memories shine in the sky
Lighting the ambiance where I lie
Filled with hope to the stars to fly.
In the living souls light transpires
And with enlightenment they respire
When their good deeds reflect from his heart
As he is like a shining crystal in his thoughts.
Each day if we rest doing our best
We need not be afraid of him least
Surrounded by his infinite grace
With humility in him we can find a place.
1. "New record! We've found 7 Earth-sized planets in the habitable zone around a single star outside our solar system," NASA tweeted.
2. The system is around 40 light-years, which is 235 trillion miles, away from Earth, in a constellation called Aquarius. Because they are located outside of our solar system, these planets are scientifically known as exoplanets.
3. The exoplanet system is called TRAPPIST-1, named for The Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope (TRAPPIST) in Chile.
4. The scientists have measured the density of six of the planets and say further research will show if they have water on their surface.
5. It is possible that all seven planets have water, "the key to life as we know it, under the right atmospheric conditions, but the chances are highest with the three in the habitable zone," NASA said.
6. The mass of the seventh planet is yet to be measured. But scientists say it is possible that it would be covered in ice.
7. Spitzer, an infrared telescope that trails Earth, was well-suited for studying TRAPPIST-1 because the star glows brightest in infrared light. Further studies involved the Hubble Space Telescope. Ij future the James Webb Space Telescope is expected to chip in.
8. For decades, there have been speculations about information regarding the existence of alien life forms - one of the biggest questions facing astronomers.
9. The search for life had started in 1995 after NASA's Kepler Space Telescope found signs of the first alternative solar system. Called Kepler 10b, it also signaled what NASA said could be a "small planet orbiting a star about 540 light years away".
10. "This discovery could be a significant piece in the puzzle of finding habitable environments, places that are conducive to life," said Thomas Zurbuchen of NASA. "Answering the question 'are we alone' is a top science priority and finding so many planets like these for the first time in the habitable zone is a remarkable step forward toward that goal."
In due time clouds of ambiguity disperse
And horizon will be serene and clear
For your goals to reach the peak
Which from your heart you are striving to seek.
So in azure horizon of clarity
You will fulfill your dreams with simplicity
For strong and sturdy feelings like mountains
To be unfolded from your wishes curtains.
