After a Training session at “The Club” in Andheri, while returning home, saw a lady, poor, in rags, drenched in the rain water, shivering; she was like the malnutrition Somalia creature; she tried to pull out the precious eatables probably “preserved" inside a hole that was below the concrete slabs covering the gutter; in the process she could retrieve the leaf only as the food had already been washed away by the rain…..is this Nothingness?

Value Engineering

No pain!
Am I liberated?,
As I have nothing to negotiate?!

Where are my needs?
I am barking at the wrong tree,
Reference is not to the Almighty,
As He has some other work
as priority elsewhere on earth!

What is my value?
This is viewed differently,
By you and me,
Is it the difference in perception?

I am trying to do,
The ABC analysis,
And A is tied with A,
And never with C,
Is it the natural order of selection?
Or marriage of convenience?!

The lesson is about,
The forecast of stocks,
What is in store for me?
Reconciliation of my inventory,
Leads me to Nothingness!

Oh my pretty scary stuff!
Allowing my sensibilities,
To become nothing,
And tune my emotions,
To the everlasting Nothing,
I find my freedom,
Paradoxically in Nothing!

Is nothing anything?
Or anything is nothing!

How can I imagine No Thing?
Oh my God!
Please appear as “Nothing”!
