Brother AI

 

Brother AI

To be like an expert,
Without being one,
Brother AI is always there,
To help you feel like one.
 
Assignments that come your way,
No matter how, but one excels
Not on skills but on a prompt
The pre-trained Brother copiously imparts.
 
No more shoutouts, no more gratitude
To maestros in science and arts,
For Brother AI elevates all
To feel like a pro without being one.
 
An artist, a poet, a writer or a doctor.
Ingested by the data deluge
Of Brother AI’s information outreach.
AI is the master and we are the slaves.
 
Sands and pebbles fill the shores
Of oceans and all the seas.
Brown, black, red or green.
But golden brown is what we love.
 
Information aplenty, like sand on the shores.
The infosphere is now under siege
Not with information that one needs
But with data that upsets, misinforms and misleads.
 
Imbibe all data, until the world turns topsy-turvy.
To implode with you, me and everyone.
 

Abacus

 

Abacus
 
Abacus, the logic flourished.
Fingers pushing, sliding the beads along the wire,
Units, tens, hundreds, thousands.
Adept fingers and a little deftness are all one needs.
 
To add, to subtract, to multiply and to divide.
The skilled fingers slide the beads,
Almost to perfection till the physical gave way,
To push the imaginary beads over the virtual wires.
 
With deft fingers moving, the virtual beads in the air;
Faithfully working on the abacus that was now its virtual self.
Adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing,
A calculation executed with logical precision. 
 
The abacus gave way to the calculator
First the analog, then the digital.
Then the worksheet,
And now all in an app.
 
Faster and faster the calculations done,
Logic and deftness, are never now required.
For one’s finger is all that matters.
Till one day thoughts will replace the fingers.
 

 

 

 

Wishes from the Heart

 

Wishes from the Heart             

These words are for you,
Sketched with lots of love.
For the many years of wedded life,
We lived in each other’s arms.
 
No avalanche to withstand,
No woods nor rivers to crisscross.
Years of togetherness undisturbed,
By the occasional tantrums of love and care.
 
That journey will go on, for it is good to go,
For many years more.
A lesson to learn and imbibe for NextGen’s,
Be it Millennials or natives of the digital land.
 
Our togetherness makes us realize,
The beauty and fullness of a life that goes on and on.
Cherish the journey of togetherness
That began hand in hand many decades to this day.

Free from fear

 

Free from fear

 

A toddler crawled towards the sea;
No fear or scare of the gushing water,
Nearer and nearer, to the sea he reached.
Sea or land, he knew no fear.
 
The rumblings of waves,
Howling of the wind,
Droplets of water all over his face,
Made him not cry, for he knew no fear.
 
Water engulfed the toddler, but,
Receded as quickly as it came.
Assured him that all was well.
And he laughed aloud, for he knew no fear.
 
Learn from the toddler
To be free from all fear.
For we aren’t planners of life or death
That cycle remains but a mystery, safe in His hands. 

Pushing sadness away.

 Pushing sadness away

My tears lost their way,
Tried to reach me, but I kept away. 
But then, happiness found its way. 
Right into my heart to push sadness away.

With my heart now light as ever
I glided onto the dance floor
Swirled and swayed to heart’s content
With steps blending with every beat.
 
The musical symphony at its best
Played that music you loved the most.
Your absence never mattered
For that music reverberated loud and clear.
 
But that music, too, would stop.
Do come over. You and me are all that matters.
Hand in hand, let’s slip away
Into that hamlet, where we always belonged.
