By now, you must have understood that I am a great admirer of Henry David Thoreau: his thoughts, ideals and principles, especially after reading the three principles I have set for myself.(If you haven't noticed,click here).
For those who are not aware, Thoreau lived in Concord,U.S.A in between 1817-1862. He was a profound thinker, an avid naturalist and a great philosopher. His "Walden",critically acclaimed as his most significant work is exemplary of his literary genius. His "Civil Disobedience" has influenced, the likes of Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi. His accomplishment as an independant man, living in the woods, in a cabin he built for himself, by the Walden pond, teaches us what life can be.
He will remain the most influencing man ever in my life.

My works dedicated to Thoreau

My Hero


A gentleman, never been called so,
Who, in his own style, tried to show
The world the way it has to know
That individualism must stay and grow.

A philosopher of unusual tempo
Whose ideas he himself drove
To endless heights without slow
From existing standards disdainfully low.

A saunterer from the holy-lands of snow
Without pointing his finger or raising his brow
At the downward speed of mankind�s flow
Remained aloof, having attained divine glow.

A gentleman, never been called so,
A philosopher of unusual tempo
A saunterer from the holy-lands of snow
My hero, Henry David Thoreau.

Sonnet to Thoreau


Methinks, that bright blue star yonder in sky
Twinkles forever smirking at my soul,
The fiery black thunder when storm comes by,
Frightens my mind for thoughts I never stole.
The might of the mountains standing so high,
Make me panic for my lack of hard goal.
Perchance, the adept breezes willfully try
To disclose my best kept corner-and-hole
Causing apprehension as to imply
And leaving nothing for me to console
My despair'd heart, so inclined to cry,
Desolate, desperate like a tadpole
Wishing to become a lotus in pond
Aloof and free from relation and bond.
