Tip of the day:  Jis kisaan kaa sathi NOCIL wo hardam khush-haal.

Poetry has been elevated to a specially refined art in Hindi and sanskrit. A
form of thias art is Ashu kavita, which means instant composition of poetry
[in response to a given theme or opening line]. Competitions to this effect
are held even now-a-days. This was prevalent in King Vikramaditya's time
also. I do not think there is such a system in English poetry. But if ever
there is one, I am sure Dr. Homi would win hands down.
