Question No.39. (MEMORY POEM)

MANLINESS

If you can dream and not make dreams your master;

If you can think and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster;
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can force your heart, and nerve, and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone;
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the will which says to them, Hold on.
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of distance run,
Yours is the earth and everything thats in it,
And, what is more, youll be a man, my son.
- Rudyard Kipling

The Big Brihadeesvarar temple and fortress were the

We ran as if to meet the moon

That slowly dawned behind the trees,
The barren boughs without the leaves,
Without the birds, without the breeze.
But once within the wood, we paused
Like gnomes that hid us from the moon,
Ready to run to hiding new
With laughter when she found us soon.
Each laid on other a staying hand
To listen ere we dared to look,
And in the hush we joined to make
We heard, we knew we heard the brook.
- Robert Frost

Kumars
father

My brother was a tinkerer.

We have lifted off, I yelled!
I am much smarter than he.
Why do you think that?
Well If you were smarter than me
you would have bailed off before the
cloths line.
At least we had some quality time
together today.
Oh, Ma! How I miss you
How much scheming and cajoling
to convince Mother!
Home is where the heart is.
They know their home is in the
Arctic.
And theres no place like home, is
there?
