Soul on her sleeve

 

They met after many lifetimes,

But he knew her immediately.

As always,

(What is Always,

What is Time?)

She wore her soul

On her sleeve,

A shining soul,

On a worn-out sleeve.

This will be the last

Of their meetings here,

For she will be One 

With the Soul after this,

And, he will join much later There.

Sorrow of the Deep

 

What does the dew drop hold?

That it becomes the Quencher

Of the body

When it sits on the grass?

That it becomes the Beauty

Of the garden

When it sits on petals and leaves?

That it becomes the Sorrow

Of the Deep

When it sits on the corner

Of the eyes?

F‏irst Qualifier IPL team at a disadvantage to get the purple and orange caps?

 

If there are any contenders for purple or orange cap in the IPL First Qualifier team, both are at a disadvantage to get each's coveted cap. 

Why? 

Could this be the answer?

The purple cap goes to the bowler with the most wickets. The orange cap goes to the batter with the most runs. The First Qualifier plays one game less than other qualifying teams. And, therefore, the bowlers and batters of the First Qualifiers won't be able to improve their scores. It is as if they are being punished for doing well.

Results in Kelvin

Just after the 12th results of CBSE came out, someone sent this message:



Very true, I reflected. In a few years it would be in Kelvin: 273, 274, 300, and sometimes -273(in negative marking).

 

Hallucinating

 

I rubbed my eyes in disbelief. Was I hallucinating? The answer to my query was seemingly outrageous. 'There was a good chance that I would become as rich as Bill Gates'. Was I hallucinating?

No, I wasn't. It turns out that not only natural intelligence can hallucinate, even artificial intelligence can hallucinate. Wow! When AI throws back garbage as an answer to a query that is a bit outlandish, Artificial Intelligence is said to be hallucinating.

Love, you are a raconteur

 

In the chatter of the sky,

I hear your name so often,

In the matter of the heart,

I hear your name so often.


What are you save an abstract noun?

But what have you abstracted?

Love, you are a raconteur,

No whispers of heart redacted.

OMG Branch

 

In a certain Headquarters of a certain Army, the brass plate outside the Quarter Master General Branch had these letters:

QMG Br

One fine day, the tail of the 'Q' come off: whether wittingly or unwittingly, I don't know. And now the letters read:

OMG Br

Since then the Branch is known as Oh My God branch.

Minute hand chases the hour hand

 

Why does the minute hand

Chase the hour hand,

And having overtaken,

Starts all over again?


Not convinced of its win,

It tries again and again,

And a lifetime passes,

And an eon passes.

Nothing is permanent

 A dear friend sent this lovely message:

Everything is temporary: emotions, thoughts, people and scenery. Do not become attached, just flow with it.

But then, isn't Permanent Commission, permanent?
