As a talented pair of hands whipped up a new flavour at the roadside cocktail bar my eyes wandered to the camper van with bright lights that served as the base.

Now, the Volkswagen Camper van stands for something beyond an automobile. First introduced in 1950 it went out of production in 2013! Having had spectacular reincarnations and simple, astute deployments.

It morphed from a carrier of people to transporter of parcels. From tourist support to ambulance. From everything commonly possible to everything conceivable.

To age as gracefully as the Volkswagen Camper requires staying relevant to changing times and needs. That means disrupting oneself constantly. On a daily basis.

To look beyond what we see and to constantly redraw the finish line.

It isn’t easy. But it’s possible. Just ask the VW Camper.

Poetry. You have just written a poem. It’s simple. All it takes is a piece of paper, a pen that barely writes and a flutter in the mind.
And a poem stares at you.

A few days later you come face to face with a giant factory. Where machines melt metal and products emerge. You talk to some energetic engineers and try going beneath their safety helmets.

You seek answers to several questions in your mind. How did they think up these things? How can brown pieces of metal and a melange of pipes excite the daily day’s arrival? What keeps light in the eyes glowing?

You survey the monstrosity of what they call ‘office’. The scale sends a shiver and creates a flutter.
The flutter brings a realisation : Engineering is poetry with a different name.
