Stephen Hawkings.Story retold. (Poem)

Living life strongly
Living life with dignity

At 21 he had lost his body.
Yet he wasnt someone
Who would give up
He has made it through last 49 years

Through tubes pipes and wheel chair
Its a struggle of epic proportions when you consider that he survived.
But its not amazing that he lived, its amazing what he did in his life.

He is a brilliant author and a physicist.
 and he has a strange sense of humour.
Strong intellect and knowledge
But never crazy for glamour.

And  he is a people's person,
A smiling icon

Resting upon the laurels of his work is not his cup of tea


He is living his life strongly
Living life with dignity.

what power can a mind hold
What more can now unfold.

Dont know, but felt today to sing out for him

Spread his story retold.

He is 70 today

(Jan 8 actually)

Still exploring still writing theories hard to get
and still keeping it light.


He is someone who inspires me with the grace of his life.

Comedy is easy.

By Ninad Tatke.

 Some people can have God Gifted Talent of humour, all I have a talent of befriending the jesters and wise men.  What these people have in common is that they are funny.

Last year I had wondered why comedy is hard. Now I say that comedy is easy.

All I know about comedy is that it is a mind game.

 Comedy is easy when it is elegant. When it comes, people should say ha, yes so true, or damn why i never thought of it. Comedians live in the world where chickens cross the roads with motives questioned or with puns and riddles or noises or faces, or good old body language. With elegance, another element that comedians have is simplicity. Third element natural comedians have is control. They know the line between funny and annoying.  Ofcourse they are observant, they do love life and they can be on your nerve at many times. But with funny power, comes serious responsibility.

So funny people basically talk on things we already know, but ofcourse there are exceptions like Raju Shirvastav who build up logical imaginative worlds which make us laugh.

But I think that the 3 things. Elegance, (which cant be added /is present right from the start), Simplicity and Control are important not just for comedy, but to live life powerfully and to live the life you love.

I am assuming at this point that this is all done with practice (hard work),  and innovation (creating value).

Hence to be good at anything (not just comedy) is all a mind game provided you get the elements right.
