Interstellar part 3



So so so sorry!! I couldn't post yesterday. This MUN thing. Anyway, Part 3!!! Last part! Done with it! Without taking any further time...... Enjoy!

Continued.......

Back on earth, the professor lay on his death bed,
And broke the inevitable truth to the once little Murph. 
There was no plan ‘B’ which he so ambitiously lead,
He lied to keep the scientists working on his turf.


So that they may remain motivated,
And know that salvation was near.
While the equation had long been equated,
And he knew that it had been a failure.
He however let them go,

The human species must live on.
It was entirely up to them though,
And there was no coming back once they’d gone.
The little murph burst into rage,

‘Did my father know?’ she demanded.
‘Did he leave me?’ at that tender age,
‘I’m sorry’ came the reply in a manner so candid.

They’d already left for their new destination by then,
And searched the camp of Dr Mann.
It was only then when,
In his delta sleep, they found their man.

He couldn’t believe his eyes,
After years, the first sign of life.
All alone on a planet covered with ice,
He had been mysteriously brought back to life.
  
He explained to them the planet’s physiology,
It seemed to be quite promising.
Except there was no ecology,
And back to earth he wanted to spring.

But that man turned out to be a rogue,
The fight for survival was the toughest.
And was very much in vogue,
A beast all alone, wanting to be released.

He conspired against the ex pilot,
Ripped off his transponder and fractured his mask.














And told him that the last thing he’d see through his eyelids,
Would be his children and his unaccomplished task.

He fought back with equal intensity,
He was gonna die on the hands of a mate.
And knew it nice and gritty,
But prayed that it weren’t his fate.

However, he was rescued,
But his other friend wasn’t as fortunate.
Caught in an explosion and was screwed,











Mann however travelled to the Endurance straight.

He tried to dock manually and was warned,
By the duo approaching behind him that it wasn’t safe.
But entering the spaceship he yearned,
He didn’t care whether it was unsafe.

To the repeated warnings he paid no heed,
Opened the hatch and triggered an explosion.
Treacherous was the end of his greed,
And damaged the Endurance along with corrosion.

With an awe they witnessed the unfolding moment,
Debris and priceless parts falling out of order.
A decision the father took at that instant,
Held their life expectancy along the border.

He tried to dock at the semi destroyed ship,
But that wasn’t the problem.
It was rendered swirling and in a slip,
And was drifting away from them.

He nevertheless made it,
The instinct of survival taking over.
And themselves together they started to knit,
Then realized their quest was far from over.

Without enough fuel left and no hope of survival,
They tried a shot at Edmund’s planet.
Using Gargantua’s gravity to slingshot to their point of arrival,
Losing one more crew member it meant.

The father decided that it was his time,
He had already made it this far.
He detached into the black hole in time,
Its effect pushed Dr Brand as far.

Into the darkness he plunged,
In a dimension no human ever went.
And out of his ship he lunged,
Into a dimension he had no idea what it meant.





Then suddenly he was in the little girl’s room,
Pushing books and moving shelves.
And it finally dawned to him in this hour of gloom,
That ‘ghost’, it was he himself.







It is said that gravity can travel through time,
And that was what he was gonna use.
To send a message to his daughter through time,
And give her the priceless clue.

Through which she could complete the equation of time,
She stood there motionless and still.
The hands of her dad’s clock moving in a strange line,
A Morse code that gave her the chills.

Eureka Eureka she shouted through the facility,
The equation has been solved.
And she sat down with complete tranquility,
Worked on the equation and got it evolved.

When the ex pilot opened his eyes,
On familiar earth like surroundings.
He was alive to his surprise,
But still couldn’t devise the circumstances of things.



The doctor said that he was a lucky man,
With only minutes of oxygen left in his possession.
He was also a very old man,
Having lived 126 years in succession.

He looked out of his hospital window,
Stared at a world where gravity didn’t apply.
Bewildered, asked where he was and how,
Did he reach this weird place with no sky.

It’s called the “Cooper station” the doctor said,
And amused was he for Cooper was his name.
But, it had been named after his daughter instead,
So apparently he wasn’t the one who had shot to fame.

The cooper station was currently orbiting Saturn,
But, that didn’t matter. Where was little Murph he demanded.
He was told that she was on her death bed but seeing him she yearned,
He was taken to a very old woman to whom her children tended.

He was taken aback at her sight,
An old, terribly old woman her face filled with delight.
Stretched her feeble hand outright,
They wouldn’t believe that one day with my father I’d unite.


I knew you’d come back. I knew you see,
Why? Because my dad had promised me.

 ******************************

So, what happened next? Well Cooper left his daughter to the company of her children and grandchildren and apparently, Edmund had died and Dr Brand was now on that planet, all set for her job. So Copper kind of sneaks out of the station and heads to Edmund's planet.

The End.

Interstellar part 2





Part 2 coming up!! You've all been waiting for it long enough! 

Continued.....

And thus he left, tears streaming,
With a good company and decent equipment.
They left the earth beaming,
With the professor’s advice and consent.

An year it’d take them to reach Saturn,
And with the expert guidance of the robots TARS and CASE,
The Endurance followed its prescribed pattern.
They retired into delta sleep as they plunged deep into space.

A few hours from Saturn, they woke,
Enchanted by the wormhole.
Upon them like a bubble it invoked,
And switched off Endurance’s cruise control.

A concentration of heavenly bodies it was,
And emitting a brilliant glow.
Somewhere inside it was,
Gargantua: the black hole.

To the wormhole as they approached,
Tingling with excitement they sat.                                                  
And just as they were coached,
They took the Endurance in flat.

       
A brief whiteout accompanied by loss of control,
They had made it to a galaxy far from their own.
Soon, they regained control,
And started looking for a new home.
 




They head first to Miller’s planet,
But, fearing a huge time dilation,
Due to Gargantua’s proximity to the planet,
They compromise on the spent duration..

A planet they reach and water they see,
Unlike anything they’ve previously witnessed.
The planet itself was a huge sea,
Which left them all confused.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
Their visit proved to be far from fruitful,
They lost a friend instead.
And by the time to the endurance they pull,,
23 years have already fled.

Met by frustration and a very old looking mate,
They find messages from the earth.
Years of messages coming in straight,
Looking at those old recognizable faces from earth.

His daughter was now of his age,
His son, already a father.
Professor Brand, now very old in age,
Asks them not to bother.                                                        

"Do not go gentle into the night" he says,
"We must reach far beyond our life spans".
Where the time counts and not the days,
And not deviate from our original plan.

On a planet some billion light years away,
The little girl all grown up now.
Tries to solve the equation her way,
To solve it, through their assumption of time she must plough.

Back on the Endurance, they chalk out another plan,
To visit the other two planets their top priority.
And decide first comes the planet of Dr Mann,
While Edmund’s being outvoted by the majority.

They’re running low on resources and fuel,
And quickly decide that there’s only one planet to which they can make.
In extreme conditions and already losing their cool, 
Deciding between family and the future of humans is not a piece of cake.

I promise!! Just one more part left!! I'll wrap it all up by next week so cheer up! And please do comment. It's really kinda motivating. Thanks.

Interstellar part 1








Hello people! You must all be knowing Christopher Nolan's epic blockbuster; Interstellar. Those of you who have watched it must have been obsessed by the movie. But, for all of you who haven't watched it, don't worry! Today's post is going to be really unique. Why? Cheer up for its a ballad this time!! Oh and I'm not going to upload the whole ballad at once or some of the non poetic people out there would label me as insane!! Haha and also since it is obviously my finest work till date, it's in the professional rhyme scheme. Sorry folks no simple poem today! Haha well, buckle up and enjoy the ride!!


Interstellar


This is the touching story of a little girl,
Whose dad set out out save the earth.
Who promised her as he straightened her curls,
His departure to a new civilization would give birth.

And he promised her that he’d be back,
It was noble mission he’d set off to.
As never could he see the future of his race black,
At the price of her disappointment he however knew.

But then there’s another aspect to it,
The so called ‘ghost’ in her room.
Helped her jot down the code bit by bit,
Leading them to NASA’s control room.

The ‘ghost’ communicated using gravity,
A quite unusual thing to do.
And gave a message bitty and gritty,
To ‘stay’ is what you must do.

The control room was where they met,
Professor Brand and his ‘plans’ to save the earth.
Towards a distant galaxy the father would set,
Saving the species it would be worth.

Devastated by a global crop blight,
And a second expected dust bowl,
To add to their plight.
The stakes were pretty high, the humanity as a whole.

But, the future prospects were equally rewarding,
A wormhole near Saturn had been discovered.
And no human would stop him from going,
Only the disapproval of his daughter hovered.

5000 frozen embryos they’d carry,
On the inhabitable planets discovered.
In order to cut down a major worry,
Till the time the cons of plan ‘B’ get uncovered.

The plan B’s final obstacle was,
To overcome earth’s gravity.
To escape its powerful jaws,
And make earth a celestial city.

But the professor assured them,
That by the time they’d be back.
He would have it all hemmed,
All they had to do was to come back.

The meeting was adjourned,
He being an ex NASA pilot.
To take to the skies, he yearned,
The fancy job of a test pilot.

The father and daughter to their farm returned,
The ex pilot and his father stayed up all night.
Discussing their fate before he adjourned,
And the little girl’s plight.

The new day dawned to him,
His daughter still mad to his frustration. 
But it was she who meant the most to him,
Tried to talk but faced her recrimination.

It says ‘stay’ she screamed,
But it was a job to be done.
With all his tries unredeemed,
He gave a gift to his loved one.

A watch it was, for her a utility,
But for him the time would slow down.
And tried to excite her with the possibility,
That he might be of her age the next time he’d come around.

******************************

Loved it?!! Let me know how much in the comments below! And I hope that the story is clear to you all and yeah the action is about to start so stay tuned for the upcoming parts!

The Art of Writing

My first tutorial on effective writing. Enjoy!


The Art of Writing


Today I'm gonna teach you an awesome art,
So say your prayers and buckle up for here I start.
I'll take u by the hand and show you how to write,
Thereby making your reader's day nice and bright.

Now pay attention or you might miss out,
The fundamentals that you can't do without.
To my previous posts if u were paying attention,
Emphasizing on the rhyme scheme I did mention.





Because u see it gives your work the beauty,
Which is every responsible author's duty.
Well you must be getting what I mean,
 Equal lines give it a look nice and clean.

But don't worry it's not as hard as it looks,
And u needn't go through all those books.
I'll be your mentor and guide you the way,
Just be patient, resolute and do as I say.

Finally shave down the unwanted edges that are thick,
And your rhyme will fit together with a satisfying click.
