Pleasure of Words

My Years pass in pinning madness shattered hopes die in bloody bitterness My Days, wander in   somber folly wasteful hours pass in a mindless reverie At dusk, I light the fire of life the smouldering embers soothen my strife In Night's arms, drinking the   darkness gazing the glittering charms I sing   in wilderness My life takes flight to distant horizons freed from its plight Comes the spiteful dawn cracking streaks of light into Body's chambers drowns the spirit's flight If, to see only sorrow's might in absence of light be a boundless night

When we studied electricity, students brought the igniting part of the gas-stove lighter which on pressing could light up a small LED bulb; I had thought for years, that the lighter used friction to generate spark, and it was a revelation to see that it was electricity that generated spark.  They not only build boats and rockets using  paper but  create d  a myriad of shapes and structures using paper.  This spirit of enquiry and exploration – using the body and mind – forms an essential part of the learning process and is naturally p...
