Honesty hatched a great Scientist

Five cleared in the preliminary ,

final interview yet to be taken

3 posts published in News papers

they’ve to face Prof. C V Raman

Many eager aspirants applied,

to join his research institute

even if not chosen, can avail

a scope to see d’ noble laureate

Fatiguing interview was over,

3 picked up for appointment

d’ tough recruitment chapter

got closed, the next moment

Next day in d’ morning walk,

tried to meet him, a young guy

recalled the face, d’ same boy,

out of 5 who could not qualify

Curious to ask what’s d’ problem,

no doubt he went empty handed

calm reply came-“no problem sir,

it's to refund d’ excess amount paid”

Rs. seven excess was paid to him,

whatever allowance he did apply

your office refused to take it back,

told “it’s a bonus, go back, enjoy"

It’s not right to take the money,

which never ever belonged to me

“so you’ve lastly thought to return,

okay, you can hand it over to me"

He took d’ money back from him,

walked ahead a few steps forward

asked d’ man to meet him next day,

at 10.30 am , not to feel awkward

Got delighted, again an occasion

to meet the great celebrity figure

he met him next morning in time,

to know his intention, overtly eager

Final interview you couldn’t cross,

not up to mark in Physics, my son

I created an extra post, as in honesty

you were far beyond my expectation

Incredible words, couldn’t believe,

felt as if, he’s falling from the sky

told “sir, I accept your valued offer”

bowed down ,overwhelmed with joy

He was Prof. S. Chandrashekhar,

had a lot of proud achievements

Honesty hatched a great Scientist,

he later became a Nobel Laureate
