HumanitieS weds SciencE



Humanities and Science encountered some day.
Everybody mumbled ‘no way, no way’.
Destiny made them meet each other.
That rendezvous made them treat each other.
Here begins the war of words,
mightier than the power of swords.

You have no cognitive effort, Humanities
You have no laboratory work, Humanities

You have no creative effort, Mr. Science.
You have no library work too, Mr. Science.

‘I aim for Nobel Prize’ retorts Science.
‘I aim for Booker Prize then’, rejoins Human Science.
I am a physical scientist, Humanities.
Oh, I am a liberal scientist then.

Humanities won’t surrender at any cost
 and Science will never get lost.
Situation gets complicated
and their queries become outdated.


The docile Humanities feels profound sorrow
and the dominant Science feels too narrow.
Science screams – We are always in fire, you know.
Humanities consoles- We are like water to extinguish the fire, you know.
Conversation takes a new U turn…
For Science to learn/earn?
Humanities decides to conquer Science’s dark territory
And Science discloses Humanities his hurry burry.
There springs a gradual symphony
of their mutual harmony.

Calyx and Corolla are lovelier like a red -red rose.
Carbylamine reaction is sweeter like a morpheme formation.
Complements do coexist
So, do Humanities and Science exist.
Humanities when equated with Science
destroys the very semantics of superficial signs.
They should not be kept in two compartments
Instead should be kept in same apartments.
Let them feel they are not above or below par,
They are and they can only be in par.

Humanities weds science
as bride wins prejudice.
Science conspires within the alchemy of Humanities
giving way for adorable and astounding ties.
Let them trail a new path of heart and brain.
Let them trace a new journey of emotion and intellect.
Let them exemplify the ‘Ardhanareeshwara’ myth
and prove their mutual worth.
Humanities is for science’s sake
And never for anything to fake.
Let them live long
and together be strong.
