When everything is going great
There is no urge to innovate.
Whenever something goes awry
Most just accept but some then try
To find an innovative way.
Few concepts see the light of day.
But if you choose to take a look
At Gopalkrishnan’s latest book
You will learn about each stage
Right from conception to old age.
The analogy is very good
And once thoroughly understood
More innovations will come of age,
While smoothly passing every stage.
Does the analogy always hold?
We’ve lived many years and truth be told,
None of us thinks we’re old.
With innovation can we be bold
And while we pass every stage
Make sure it doesn’t take an age?
Each chapter marks a different stage
With anecdotes on every page.
Go out there and take a look
And once you do you’ll buy the book.
And with the lessons you receive
I am sure that you’ll conceive
Brilliant concepts and what is more
Your thorough learning will ensure,
With all the knowledge thus amassed,
Each rite of passage will be passed
But hopefully in a shorter span
Much more like fruit flies rather than
Tortoises who live on and on,
Two hundred years before they’re gone.
I really think it would be great
If this book leads all to innovate
And do it properly and fast
By learning lessons from the past.
The greatest thing since sliced bread
Would be innovation widely spread.
This would ensure that our nation Becomes a fount of innovation.
