AN UPINISHADIC APHORISM ON FINITE AND INSPIRED HAIKU

न अल्पे सुखम् अस्ति 
~छांदोग्य उपनिषद

Anything that is limited is woeful
~Chandogya Upanishad

Inspired Couplets

The world's vast lessons,
Our finite words can't hold them.

Our words fall short,
A woeful, limited sort.

Don't cling to speech,
Let silent wisdom reach.

When thoughts grow still,
The boundless you will fill.

Worldly knowing's slight,
Words cage the mind so tight.

Be humble, kind,
And peace of soul you'll find.

Ode to Visual Art of Indian iconic Photographer Raghu Rai   Note: Raghu Rai (18 Dec 1942 – 26 Apr 2026), a noted Indian photographer and photojournalist, had been widely regarded as a pioneer of candid photograpy and  photojournalism in India.   ODE   Oh Raghu Rai, your lens so true, A world of India, seen anew. Not staged or planned, your shots ignite, But from the heart, a pure delight.   No fake pretense, no painted scene, Just life itself, a vivid dream. Your camera's eye, a honest friend, Revealing truths that never end.   From crowded streets to quiet lands, You hold our stories in your hands. A master's touch, a spirit bright, Oh, Raghu Rai, you fill with light.   The lens you held, a nation's gaze, Through your sharp eye, we saw our days. No book could teach the art you knew, But doing, viewing, saw you through.   Your vision caught what lay unseen, The magic held, the in-between. You showed the soul, the hidden grace, Reflected in each ti...
