MY ROLE MODEL - MY NANU!


This poem is dedicated to my beloved Grandfather - Dr. Devendra Handa - who gave me all the joie de vivre, held my hand in the greatest adversity and became not only my protector but my teacher too and taught me all that I know.

He handed me my first pen and became my first notebook. Compromising with his time-bound work, he gave me all that time many strive for. Even if I live for a whole millenia, I can never thank him enough for helping me reach the height I have today. He helped me enhance my talent and widen my horizon. He made me strong enough to stand my ground and taught me how to dream big!


God
I never used to believe in,
Temples
I never used to go in,
Religion
I never cared of,
And worship
I never did it.

Logic
was what I believed in,
Practical
was what I wanted to be,
Miracles
I never waited for,
Faces
I never saw of God.

Angel
I define you as,
God
I worship you as,
Face
I always see is yours.
'Cause ' enlightened,
you are my lord!

Photograph of yours
I kept on my table
so that your face
gave enlightenment to me.

o' grandpa, O' grandpa, O' grandpa
is all I chant
when sit on my table
to study hard.

Dedication
I've learnt from you,
Knowledge
I've got from you,
'Cause O' messenger of God,
you are my inspiration
you are my motivation!
