Brawn-An Illusion of Power

Courage lies within

Real power to fight fear

Brawn, mere accomplice-

Often creates illusion

Spawning many a Goliath.

Born in the year 1968, my childhood was spent amidst the beautiful scenic landscape of a small town in India, Ranchi. Though an engineer by qualification, reading, writing and cooking are my passions. Another thing that I am passionate about is my country, India. As they say, a lifetime is probably not enough to explore the whole of India. Currently based in Kolkata, I can be reached at gdutta17@gmail.com.

    1. Hello! Parents have recovered now and out of isolation. I have gone for another test, the results of which would be available tomorrow, to know if I am out of danger and can come out of isolation. Do not have any symptoms yet and feeling fine. So hoping that the test comes out negative. Thanks so much for enquiring. 🙏😊

  2. Goutam, first I’m happy for your parents and your own good health. These are such scary times we live in. Your poem speaks of the courage to fight fear… that’s where we are at here in the U. S. I pray for your continued health. ❤
