“On Pt. K.L. Misra
To write about him is to write about Greatness. To discuss him is to discuss Intellectual Brilliance. To think of him is to think of Modesty, Simplicity and Lucidity. To remember him is to remember Nationalism at its finest hour. He was not one of those who merely achieved greatness nor certainly one of those upon whom greatness was thrust-he was in fact born great. - Siddharth Shankar Ray, Senior Advocate”

“My Mother - Amma

Her touch was my solace,
Her smile did encourage,

Her love was my strength,
Her stare, I fully decant,

Her care was my power,
Her joy was my shower,

Her anger corrected my path,
Her laughter filled my heart,

Her silence made me ponder,
Her glare was my reminder,

Her scorn corrected my track,
Her embrace I never did lack.”

“BASIC LIFE ATTRIBUTES

Four purusharthas or goals of the life be,
So very crystal clear in life undisputedly;
1

Artha getting useful wealth and prosperity,
Finding the meaning for living herein truly;
2

Kama fulfilling desires, acting repeatedly,
It the physical, material desire fulfillment be;
14

Dharma – the foundation of all human goals be,
Refers to obligations, conduct, moral duties;
25

Moksha – the liberation from the web of maya be,
Freedom from the cycles of birth and death clearly;
33

As all the rivers must lead to the sea eventually,
All spiritual paths leading to the same goal finally;
43

And all of the variety of life are created certainly,
By combination of the three Gunas undisputedly.

विश्वाधारं गगनसदृश्यं मेघवर्णं शुभाङ्गम्।

Who rests on great serpent bed, peaceful perpetually,
