My sachet of time

My sachet of time is overflowing with events,

Star twinkling now, quark of God smiling then;

Sandalwood brings fragrance of the burning flame,

Winging birds in their joyous hues life’s thunders;

In surprising swiftness of atomic mushroom

Is born racing civilisation and wins new gold;

Real ideas come from augustest sun,

And eager death turns into flaming deathlessness.

मम कालस्य पुटम्

मम कालपुटं घटनाभिः प्लावितम् अस्ति,

तारा इदानीं स्फुरति, ईश्वरस्य क्वार्कः तदा स्मितं करोति;

चन्दनः प्रज्वलितज्वालायाः गन्धं आनयति,

उड्डयनपक्षिणः स्वहर्षवर्णेषु जीवनस्य मेघगर्जनाः;

परमाणुकवकस्य आश्चर्यजनकवेगतायां

त्वरमाणः संस्कृतिः जायते, नूतनं सुवर्णं च जित्वा;

वास्तविकविचाराः साम्राज्यसूर्यात् आगच्छन्ति,

उत्सुकं च मृत्युः ज्वलन्तं अमृतत्वं परिणमति।

    The Atomic Mushroom

    Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon, conducted by the United States Army at 5:29 a.m. MWT (11:29:21 GMT) on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project. The test was of an implosion-design plutonium bomb, nicknamed the “gadget”, of the same design as the Fat Man bomb later detonated over Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9, 1945. Concerns about whether the complex Fat Man design would work led to a decision to conduct the first nuclear test. The code name “Trinity” was assigned by J. Robert Oppenheimer, the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory, possibly inspired by the poetry of John Donne
