21. HEALTHY LIFE
You should be healthy and strong
Then what you do will not go wrong
You can enjoy your life
Then there is no need to strife
Even in a huge throng
22. HELP OTHERS
Help others who are in need
For money, do not have any greed
Money won’t give peace of mind
Goodness with it-you can never find
So make this earth better-sow its seed
23. HELPING OTHERS
You will surely die one day
For all your deeds you have to pay
So when you live, you should
Care for people and do them good
Since a false tale, you cannot say
24. HOW TO LIVE-1
You should observe, not see
Plant not a plant but a tree
Help many but not one
Please a million and hurt none
Think not of ‘you’ but of ‘we’
25. HOW TO LIVE-2
You must respect the young and old
You should survive in heat and cold
You should respect the ideas of every man
And be as patient as you can
And prove to the world that everything cannot be sold
26. HOW TO BE GREAT
You can become great
You will be helped by the fate
Only if your mind is pure
And assistance of fate is for sure
Only thing is you have to wait
27. LOVING NATURE
The trees provide you food
All the animals are good
You should love the nature around you
As you are a part of it too
And for nature, only good you do
28. MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS
0+4=4; 4+3=7; 7+4=11; 11+9=20
Zero added to four is four
And not a number more
Four with three make seven
Another four make the sum eleven
When added to nine, gives a score
29. MATHEMATICS
Mathematics is interesting and sane
For it, you should use your brain
But people have become lazy
And think the subject is crazy
And the thoughts get entangled in a chain
30. MATHS
Maths is easy and fun
It’ll make your brain run
You have to think a lot
And get the plot in the right spot
And then you’ll know the paradoxes and puns

My "Limericks" Part - 2
11. DRIVING
You should have clear roads
The trucks should be with fewer loads
Then it will be safe to drive
And you need not strive
To get your right driving code
12. FIGHTING
You should never fight
It is definitely not right
Both of you will be in pain
No one will ever gain
It shows your weakness, not your might
13. FOOL
A person is an ingenious fool
Who thinks harming others is cool
He is an idiotic creature
With a strange feature
That he is a brainless mechanical tool
14. GIVING UP
You should never give up things
Whether you are a pauper or king
If you do so, you will remain low
Before things, you have to bow
And you will be like a bird without wings
15. GOOD HEART
You should have a good heart
All weaknesses will then depart
You will become mentally strong
And very few things will go wrong
So cleaning you heart, from today you start
16. GOOD MIND
You should have a good mind
Solutions to everything -you can find
You should always read
Only then should you feed
All knowledge, you should grind
17. GREETING PEOPLE
You should like everyone you meet
With happiness, people you should greet
Then they will be happy with you
For you, anything they will do
To help you, they’ll jump to their feet
18. GROWING TREES
Green trees you should grow
Then cool air will blow
And give us fresh air
Of pollution, trees will take care
So plants, you should sow and sow
19. HAWKING
Hawking is a great man
He did whatever he can
Though he cannot talk
He cannot even walk
And may die in a short span
20. HEALTH
You will never be ill
All germs, you can kill
Only if you eat healthy food
Because for your health, it is good
And you’ll never have to take a pill
You should have clear roads
The trucks should be with fewer loads
Then it will be safe to drive
And you need not strive
To get your right driving code
12. FIGHTING
You should never fight
It is definitely not right
Both of you will be in pain
No one will ever gain
It shows your weakness, not your might
13. FOOL
A person is an ingenious fool
Who thinks harming others is cool
He is an idiotic creature
With a strange feature
That he is a brainless mechanical tool

My "Limericks" Part - 1
There was a time, within some time from when I started to write that I was quite interested in limericks.
Limericks are 5 lines long, and have the rhyme scheme aabba.
Limericks are supposed to be humourous, but the ones that I had written were of a serious kind. I stopped when I reached 50!
1. A FRIEND
A friend is one whom you can trust
This quality is a must
Loving person he should be
But that is secondary, you see
Without belief you will bite the dust
2. A GREAT PERSON
A great person will talk less
And he never makes a mess
You should also be like one
Imbibe good qualities-at least some
And still should never feel any stress
3. A LIAR
Some people always tell a lie
Their company is worse than a sty
You should never believe them as such
Because the trouble will be so much
You cannot be in peace no matter how much you try
4. AFTER DEATH
Your actions are recorded by the lord
So why fight? Drop your sword
You should give an account to him
That story, you cannot trim
As everything is known to God.
5. BEING SATISFIED
You should be satisfied with what you get
Things will then automatically set
You need not worry much about the past
You should forget it very fast
New ideas, in you should let
6. BEING UNHAPPY
Some people are unhappy by birth
They do not have any mirth
They are always sad
And that is too bad
As everyone should be happy on earth
7. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
Believe that you can do everything
But to your goal you should cling
Never ever should you lose heart
Else with success you have to part
And day and night, your goal you sing.
8. CHARACTER
Character is needed the most
For which you need not boast
Without it, you are lame
No amount of intelligence can tame
As you would be a sun dried toast
9. DIFFICULT TIMES
You should learn to live in thorns
And still should not get horns
Then you will be an ultimate soul
You will learn to be normal even in hot coal
Of death you will not mourn
10. DO THE RIGHT
Always do only the right
In your mind there should be no fight
Let a thousand go against you
Still only good you should do
You should be high in your sight
Limericks are 5 lines long, and have the rhyme scheme aabba.

Poem: My life at present
Hi I am Siddharth writing this all
Life presently is crap, without any sense
With clouds of doubts thick, dark and dense
Existence is without meaning
The soul is without feeling
The heart is barren land
The head is desert sand
What happened to me no one will know
The clouds of doubt just grow and grow
There is no one I can call a true friend
There are many, but they only pretend
This is not the life I always wanted
But these are the nightmares that always haunted
Poem: Life at IIT
Ever wondered why IIT is so great?
Ever wondered how great engineers it’ll make
It is not a matter of just fate
But undistorted facts you’ll have to take
Let’s see what we have actually got here
People sleeping with a wheel and a gear?
This is far from the truth, come a little near
Life is not so simple after all, my dear!
Do we really read the whole day?
No, never we’ll all say
We keep those idealists at bay
Strange is this institute’s way!
Is it the best in the world we have got?
How to sing and dance we forgot?
Nobel prizes we have sought?
In a world of books are we caught?
No it’s nothing of all these
All we have is great expertise!
Spare us from nerds and geeks please!
Studies are not just a matter of degrees!
We’ll do what we love, and have fun!
Recreation we’ll never shun
Studies to fun as a gram to a ton!
And you can just about take that, not as a pun!
It’s a balanced life that we adopt
“Learning is fun” phrase is never dropped
Trying out new things we have never stopped
And this is the reason we have always topped!

Poem: Dream
DREAM
What is the use of a life without a dream?
Too impractical though it may seem
But look at the engine which runs on steam
Was it not once just an impossible dream?
Look at Einstein with his innovative scheme
Were his theories not to the very extreme?
It cut through science like a laser beam
Was it not just another impossible dream?
Look at our ’83 world cup team
It outplayed the game’s supreme
Heard India’s victory scream?
Was it not just another impossible dream?
As life progresses all this makes sense
The pleasure of a worthy achievement is immense
And when life becomes full – thick and dense
There is no stopping – no boundary, no fence
What the future holds is all suspense
So make your thoughts powerful and intense
Don’t let a single doubt cross your line of defense
And attack life with a powerful offense
Be positive at any expense
Live life in dollars, not in cents
The infinite mind power – you never condense
Never live life on the devil’s pretense

Poem: Success
SUCCESS
There was a time when I tried something new
And ah! I failed so miserably, but I tried
Like me, there were only a few
But I never complained or cried
True, I did not achieve what I set forth to
But I have learnt what others have not
In this field I am still a novice, I am new
But I tried and tried, and gave it my best shot
The path wasn’t a bed of roses, there were great pains
And though I have lost this battle, I have not lost my heart
But from this lesson of life were immense gains
And I wish to continue, this was just a start
I dared to travel all the way up the road
And I kept my motivation high all the way
My eyes on my goal, I never thought about the load
The load of “he will never make it”, as all would say
I shut my ears to the cries of the mediocre men
For they always tried to pull me down
My decision about life was taken and that’s when
I was alone, opposing a whole negativistic town
A decade down the line I can now see
The same people now asking me how
And now every word I speak they agree
But their attitude is the same even now
They will never come up in life I know for sure
Even if I tell them the secret I follow
For their attitude I can never find a cure
To me, their lives seem so hollow
Achieving anything is all in the mind
It’s what price you are ready to pay for your goal
The power to oppose even the whole of mankind
Is what distinguishes diamond from coal
I wrote this poem in IITG, as usual when in a philosophical mood...
