This was written by Ashish on our trip to New Zealand and Australia in 1996. He has to write one for Agastya.
"One meaning of my name is a star constellation,
the other meaning of my name is a Dew Drop,
However, there is a more poetic meaning to my name for which I have to tell you a poem-
Every once in a while
Say 100 years or so
On a star called Swati
A dew drop appears
It falls to the Earth
And what do you know
It gets in an oyster
And that's how pearls grow"
