S o much I have learned from you
H ope I can put them to good use
I n future life and times to come, as
V alues learned from you are precious and rare
A s is your love and your care…
K nowledge that you have given us
U nending is its scope and buzz
M aking us aware of our cognitive biases
A rming us with hidden weapons
R educing our inhibitions and fears…
S omething about you makes me have
R emembrances of you as someone very dear
I n life I have met only a few like you
N ot many make me feel how you do
I nspiring me to use my skills
V aluable are they to make good kill
A s more and more I come to know you
S omething about you always comes as new
A nd that’s what inspires me to know you more
N one can forget your charms after knowing you…

Epilogue: This was composed during the tutorial class of HU311N (Language and Communication) in IIT Delhi on 4th March, 2003. This is an ode to the lecturer of the class Dr. SHIVA KUMAR SRINIVASAN. Teachers like Dr. Srinivasan are the ones for whom it has been said, "A teacher is a friend, a philosopher, and a guide."
