Sankhajit Bhattacharjee Poem 16

Scientific Research Fellow in University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee

OWN BUSINESS

As a sunflower enhances the beauty of a garden,

as the moon and stars enhance the beauty of night sky

and as the engravings enhance the beauty of a temple,

minding own business beautifies one’s life.

Poetry- a piece of diamond on my golden scientific ring,

the building block feathers of my colorful scientific bird

and the heart soothing music of my endless scientific song-

will escort this man of science towards prosperity and success.

Through science and poetry I wish to serve.

Managing my business peacefully,

I want to stretch my hands to grip

at least one Indian hand during one’s time of need.
