[
This provides a poetic view of all the processes in engineering. I have used
stone as a symbol to express the idea of the engineering profession. ]
To visualise a design,
For a stone must draw,
The parable-sketch on the
stone,
In a firm form
Must form,
To shape,
In elegance.
To carve it on a stone,
Must know the throw of a
stone,
Velocity and the math,
Length and breadth and
height.
And the maths of bends,
And curves and twists and
turns.
Fathom to sketch,
To trace on a stone.
To know, to throw,
Must know the
Need for a stone.
To throw
Must know
Stones
name,
The shades of stone,
History of stone,
And the strength of the
stone.
To Learn the Stone,
Must scrub the stone,
And cut the stone,
And slice and slash.
To know the name,
To see the style,
To feel the grace,
Wait in patience,
Through the trials and
tribulations.
Trial the stone,
One after the other,
Juxtapose,
To see the contrast.
Must feel the feel of a
stone.
Knock the stone,
Crush and weigh,
Appraise the stone.
To throw a stone,
Measured stone,
Must know the price of it,
To see the price,
Must see the value.
To know the value,
Must discover the stone-
Inside the stone.
To price the stone,
To control the price,
Know the user,
Know the bowler,
Know the loser,
Spread the stones,
Grade the stones,
And calibrate.
To know,
To throw,
Layout in a line.
To throw,
Discover the new stones,
While the new stones shine,
To throw,
Know the value of new rocks,
Compare and benchmark.
Write the old stones story,
The History.
Finish the history,
Lay out the new stories,
And welcome the new stones.
To store the stones,
Build the stores.
Know the size of the stores.
To keep the stones aside.
Realise an emergency.
Decide on criticality.
Before death arrives.
These stores of stones,
Not a cemetery of rocks.
Unlocked always,
Time, the time of time,
To know,
To throw,
At one’s disposal
While Earth rotates and
While we sleep.
Stone's of state.
Still no state.
Local and foreign stones.
Stones own a legacy.
Preserve
And continue,
The incessant flow,
To continue forever,
Today and tomorrow.
Protect the stones,
The security stones.
Conserve it forever.
And build the edges,
To Protect,
To Guard.
To defend.
The layer of security.
With the passing of the
years,
Know the metamorphosis.
Knows the ups and downs.
Scrubbed stones,
Scrub it again,
Errors arise,
Alteration suffices.
Make the change.
Unfitting stones,
Moved forever.
Scrubbing the new stones,
Defining the new stores
And the shores.
To define the new,
To define the change,
Know the transitions,
And the transformations.
The clever monologues,
And master schemes,
Sketched as tactics.
Preserve the assets,
Name the stones.
Classify the stones.
As pebbles,
As rocks,
As Marbles,
As Granites,
As diamonds,
Emeralds and rubies.
Name it and store it.
To know, to throw
Store it forever.
Must know,
Whose stones,
Where and when,
When and why,
Why and how,
To learn the stone,
Learn the past,
Learn the edges,
Clutches of stones.
To throw, to know,
Men to learn,
The virtues and drawbacks.
To throw the stones,
Lay out in a line.
Line by line,
Like in a queue.
At times, a soft one.
At times, one by one.
Or in a chorus.
Like a big bang.
Change the casket,
Apply the heat,
Apply the pressure,
Heat the casket,
To test the stones,
To become the stones.
Test the bones,
Test the cases,
Power of stone,
Transform to the value,
Value of the stone.
To fix the errors,
Of stones and bones
Grass is not the way.
To fix the stones,
Must know the rocks.
To fix it swiftly,
Run and maintain.
With the passing of the
years,
Wear and tear,
Bear on stones.
Rolled in the oils,
To slide and glide,
Till the stones faded.
To know the intricate,
Ask the questions,
Why and Why and Why.
Till you meet the bone of a
stone.
Like in a fishbone,
Spread the puzzle,
Discern the meat and
Discern the bone.
Clutches of stone,
Need a measure.
Need a scale,
Scale of stones.
Year on year,
Measure the value.
Measure the speed.
Preserve the value.
The value of stone.
The incessant flow,
To continue forever,
Today and tomorrow.
