Memories forever
homes may change,
your success and failures
may change.
You may change,
but memories won’t change.
They will be with you
like a shadow forever,
and flash back
as far as you can remember.
None can steal this treasure
away from you.
Memories will always be with you
till you breathe your last.
(From the collection of poems by Anil Kumar Naik.)
My dream getaway
nestled in the nature,
waiting to welcome me
with a smile and open arms;
In the midst
of lush greenery
and the eternal
blue sky looking down.
The rejuvenating cool breeze
blowing my mind with ideas.
And the chirping birds
singing every morn
a soothing song.
The scenic view
outside the window
akin to an artist’s painting.
Where the time will pause
and move at my call,
and nature alive
becomes a true friend,
introducing me
to the hills, streams and river.
(From the collection of poems by Anil Kumar Naik)

Beautiful Memories
of the old big house
teeming with people.
The old primary school,
and the loving teachers.
The green fields,
the palm trees swaying in the wind.
The fresh air,
and the cows grazing.
The temple bells.
The fun of playing in the open
stealing fresh fruits from trees,
dancing in the rains
a carefree life.
The smiling faces
of the simple villagers.
The peace and tranquility of nature
are now just
innocent memories;
which give me strength
to survive in the
busy and polluted city
living high in the towering building.
(From the collection of poems by Anil Kumar Naik.)

Traditionalist
I am hopeless with gadgets.
I can never drive a car.
Right from the gramophone age,
Radio, two-in-one and cassette age
to TV, DVD and YouTube!
I am awkward with cellphone.
and get a jerk when it rings.
The TV remote is like
a cockpit panel.
I get confused with the
smartphone, tabloid and slate;
Are they any different,
from the good old desktop,
laptop or notebooks?
And memory was not
what you carried on a pen-drive
but in my head!
I am here in this era,
but rooted in a different time and age.
Thank God, I am innocent
of 2G, 3G and MMS.
I get misty eyed thinking
about the good old days –
of innocence, laughter and fun,
not being slave to any gadget.
(From the collection of poems by Anil Kumar Naik.)

Bindi, the dot
and put in school.
After English,
the Hindi teacher walked in.
She wrote Hindi on the blackboard
with a dot on top.
When I asked her about the dot.
She said, it adds beauty to Hindi.
After school, went home,
asked my mom
about the red dot on her forehead?
She said, it's your dad.
I was confused,
since the last five years
I was calling this man, my dad
who stays, eats and sleeps
in our house
and now mom says, dot is dad!
I started to look at the dot
with respect.
I was shocked to see dad
stuck on the mirror, door frame
and wash basin.
But I was stunned to see the dot
on the commode cover.
Stooping to this low level.
When I told mom
about dad in odd places,
she clarified,
the dot is the bindi
which dad has stuck
on my forehead and
it remains there
but sometimes moves around.
I am still wondering,
is dad the dot or
the man in the house!

Solar mission Aditya-L1 to be launched on Sept 2 from Sriharikota
Isro announced Solar mission Aditya-L1 will be launched on Sept 2 from Sriharikota. Aditya-L1 spacecraft is designed to provide remote observations of the solar corona and in-situ observations of the solar wind at L1, which is about 1.5 million kms from the Earth.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) announced the launch date for its solar mission Aditya-L1 spacecraft. The mission to study the Sun will be launched on September 2 at 11:50 am from Sriharikota spaceport. Aditya-L1 spacecraft is designed to provide remote observations of the solar corona and in-situ observations of the solar wind at L1 (Sun-Earth Lagrangian point), which is about 1.5 million kilometres from the Earth. It will be the first dedicated Indian space mission for observations of the Sun to be launched by the Bengaluru-headquartered space agency.
The space agency said in a post on social media platform X that the spacecraft -- the first space-based Indian observatory to study the Sun -- would be launched by PSLV-C57 rocket. The Aditya-L1 mission, aimed at studying the Sun from an orbit around the L1, would carry seven payloads to observe the photosphere, chromosphere and the outermost layers of the Sun, the corona, in different wavebands. Aditya-L1 is a fully indigenous effort with the participation of national institutions.
