Henry Van Dyke once said "Use the talents you possess - for the woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang except for the best. " In this unfathomable network of blogs, ideas and intellectuals, I might be just another tiny speck of dust. But while flexing my brains amidst the heavy books of engineering, science and technology, I do crave for my ideas to be articulated; my thoughts to be delineated. So here's the blogspot rendering me ANOTHER CHANCE............a chance to grow up, a chance to live a new life, a chance to learn and a chance to write.
Introducing myself, I am Avinash Upadhyaya a part-time writer, full-time dreamer and engineering graduate from the Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani (India). I hail from Dhemaji a small remote town in Assam - the north-eastern part of India.

a short poem written by me sometimes back.............

Chemical Dreams................
(published in PHENOMENON, the official journal of Chemical Engineering Association, BITS Pilani)




The dreary desert sand beckoned
The dusty roads of Pilani called.
Decades of engineering allured.
Yes, the world of chemicals welcomed.

Destiny's blue eyes smiling at me
The withering roads of my heart baffling me
Your sensuous voice stopping me
The flying desire wondering within me.

Did the sands snatch you away ?
Did my chemical dreams drift us away ?
Why didn't your eyes change my way ?
Did they try luring me back to the bay ?

With bated breath, I gasped.
With muddling thoughts, I wondered.
With future dreams, I decided.
With an unfathomable frenzy, I moved.

This was my dream ; the destiny I aspired for.
Chemicals and chemicals I am waiting for,
Never known what they are used for.
But this is where I am destined for.
