Thiru Dr. M. S. SWAMINATHAN
Imagining this great scholar
Is no more with us, And
This architect of Green revolution
Found his place in Heaven,
Left me in grief unmeasured.
Glory and glitter,
Simplicity and grandeur
Thine inner chambers
Even in charming greens.
Knowledge you inhale
Research you exhale
Thou art breathing farming fresh
Benevolent thou, beckon
Nation’s Farm Policy.
Bright in looks
And long in titles
Only short of ‘Nobel’,
Sweet and warm
Your gesture unforgettable.
Penning ‘Foreword’ for
Agricultural Banking:
Getting the perspective Right
Thou art conferred a great honour unto me.
Simplicity and grandeur

Benevolent thou, beckon

And long in titles

Sweet and warm
Your gesture unforgettable.
Penning ‘Foreword’ for
Agricultural Banking:
Getting the perspective Right
Thou art conferred a great honour unto me.
‘Files drive Right to Information
Farmers drive Right to Food’
Who else but thou can short-script thus.
Recalling my humble offering,
Tears rolled down
Hearing your sad demise
May your soul rest in peace
With Gods holding a bouquet
To welcome you.
