Said Newton, light O’ light
Loves to be straight, by sight
With Huygen, had a fight
For him, a wave, it might
Since light and light
Never always bright
You are a wave dear light
Said Young, who was very bright

It's a great event, I must say,

to meet giants, here is the away,

the two day fair, makes you fay,

Gods own Country, its good to stay.

Oops, I can't be there, sorry to say,

for me to reach there, its a two day way,

my boss will roar "better stay away"

together with that, loses one weeks pay.

Enjoy the fair, my regards to all, okay,

For the organisers, let it be a child's play

For all of you, here I pray,

hope to meet you all, on a very fine day.

Vasanth, oh dear, the real legendary
Your QRP did something, revolutionary
A real help , who can't afford luxury
Helped everyone, everytime, voluntary

He was a man of skills, interdisciplinary
Tried everything, from antennas to cookery,
Never said something contradictory,
Fortunate to say : " I am his contemporary "

He was a man with character, extraordinary
For him friendship was never secondary
' Help All Mankind', his slogan, mandatory
His name will shine like diamond jewellery

He was man with complete mastery,
Replied to everyone's queries, satisfactory
What a loss, nothing compensatory,
Dear Vasanth, you made real history.
