Goodbye Vikas
Vikas has been a significant part of our Singapore research gang. Today he is leaving Singapore for Holland, to pursue his European dream. We will miss him for the value addition he used to bring to the group, especially during our marathon tea time discussions, and otherwise.
Being a poet I couldn’t help myself, but to write a poem about him and his character. However, you are not suppose to take it too seriously.
A dreamer by birth, an explorer by choice
He is a friend in deed who always rejoice
He is a lazy bum, he is a stubborn lad
But he makes award winning websites, and his id is vikas.med
He likes photography with his semi pro SLR
He fantasizes Eurotrip and wants to journey that far
He talks like a master on topics of his expertise
But behaves like an adolescent when the subject is otherwise
He likes exploring places, as he likes looking for bus-routes
He is sometimes very restless; his only not-so-good attribute
Like all crazy researcher, he is gonna die an academic death
If that was not enough, he likes reading Vikram Seth
To have him as a friend is an honour filled with fun
To lose him over something would a damage never undone
Note: I have made a format to write poetry about friends and others, by asking them their 8 characteristics. In fact I am planning to develop a software program that will generate poems for anyone you wish, once you tell it the 8 main characteristics about that person. Very convenient. Isn’t it?

Dying poet
The tale of a petulant failure
Is dying poet’s way of expression
He wants to punish the entire existence
His only thought in extinction
His heart may have imagined the heaven
With the only existing particle
But now he could not even sense
A single poetic recital
He is asking for the arrival
Of flower, of fountain, of rain
Still he gets soaked in his own
Sweat, blood and pain
He may, or he may not, is the only question
He ponders, though the answer is known
Never again could he get inspired
By his thoughts, his love, his moans
