Sir M Visvesvarayya

September 15 is celebrated every year in India as Engineer's Day to commemorate the birthday of the legendary engineer Sir M. Visvesvaraya (1861-1962).

Internationally recognized for his genius in harnessing water resources, he was responsible for successful design and construction of several river dams, bridges and implementing irrigation and drinking water schemes all over India.

He served as the dewan of Mysore State and was considered to be the architect of the all-round development of Karnataka.

Among his most successful projects are the design and construction of the K.R. Sagar dam and its adjoining Brindavan Gardens, turn-around of the Bhadravati Iron and Steel Works, setting up of the Mysore Sandalwood Oil Factory and the founding of the Bank of Mysore.

Falling Leaves - A Wonderful Poem

I was thinking of old friends today
and how many of them have slipped away.

Moved, got married, or stopped calling so much,
Found new friends, got busy, and just lost touch.

It reminded me of falling leaves.

Falling Leaves

Every autumn the leaves fall from the trees.
Some stay longer than others, but eventually -

Each leaf must fall, I'm told,
leaving the tree alone to face the cold.

Why is it that in the time of utmost need 

the leaves would seek to leave the tree?

And when we need our friends around
we look and they cannot be found?

Of course these friendships come and go
and in the spring new leaves will grow.

But I prefer autumn friends of old
with crackling laughter and colors bold.

And then I thought of you.

That one stubborn leaf that won't let go,
That clings despite the winds that blow.
 

Fighting ice, and snow, and winter's stings,
Hanging on right through till spring.

So I guess that's what you are to me -
The very last leaf to leave the tree.

I know it seems silly, but it's true. 

When I see that last leaf...I think of you.
