On the slope of the desolate river among tall grasses I asked her, "Maiden, where do you go shading your lamp with your mantle? My house is all dark and lonesome - lend me your light!". She raised her dark eyes for a moment and looked at my face through the dusk. "I have come to the river", she said, "to float my lamp on the stream when the daylight wanes in the west". I stood alone in the tall grasses and watched the timid flame of her lamp uselessly drifting in the tide. In the silence of gathering night I asked her, "Maiden, your lights are all lit-then where do you with your lamp? My house is all dark and lonesome - lend me your light". She raised her dark eyes on my face and stood for a moment doubtful. "I have come" she said atlast, "to dedicate my lamp to the sky". I stood and watched her light uselessly burning in the void. In the moonless gloom of midnight I asked her, "Maiden, what is your quest, holding the lamp near your heart? My house is all dark and lonesome - lend me your light". She stopped for a minute and thought and gazed my face in the dark. "I have brought my light", she said, "to join the carnival of lamps". I stood and watched her little lamp uselessly lost among lights".

Be it Narmada, the river with a volatile path of fury and peace - all these characters come to life from the writer's pen and bring us truth to ponder.Sushama likes to create spaces where the reader may enter to write their own script either in resonance or in contrast.

The collection of poems written as a hobby in my diary came together as a book by sheer persuasion by my husband Pushp. The book पथ के पंथ touches various aspects of life. Being in the presence of a Guru, the search for a soul-mate, the power of thoughts and virtues of truth, charity, appreciation and acceptance. All the poems are penned down from thoughts that have taken shape while reading religious texts or heard in the sermons of the Guru. Every poem has two aspects, one that deals with the outside world and the other that searches for a meaning within.

Prof. CNR Rao is a living legend. Einstein paid a compliment to Mahatma Gandhi on his 70th birthday. He said "Generations to come, it may well be, will scarce believe that such a man as this one ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth". At Prof. Rao's 85th birthday, I would like to repeat these words.Prof. Rao is not an individual, he is an institution, he is a phenomenon. I feel lucky that our generations could see him, touch him, feel him, experience him, learn from him and get inspired by him.I have watched Prof. Rao as a scientist, as a science leader, as a science institution builder and indeed as a leader of leaders of science. I have also watched him as a wonderful warm hearted human being with abundance of empathy. I have seen his child like enthusiasm. I have watched him as `courage personified'.Dr. R.A. Mashelkar, FRSNational Research Professor

Similarly, all other greenhouse gas emissions are generated in excess by the floccinaucinihilipilification activities of Homo sapiens causing humongous disasters. If we conduct a detailed study, most of these disasters are also attributed by coercive practices of the ecosystem and the Government without getting concurrence from the public.
