Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, widely known for his computing skills
across the globe, on Monday showcased his love for poetry in front of the
Indian audience in the national capital.
Speaking at
the Microsoft India programme 'Tech for Good, Ideas for India', Nadella said,
"I had only two passions that have driven my dreams - poetry and computer
science."
He then began his speech quoting
Mirza Ghalib, the noted Urdu and Persian poet of the 19th century.
"Hazaaron khwaishein aisi, ke
har khwaish pe dum nikle. Bohot nikle mere armaan, fir bhi kam nikle,"
Nadella quoted.
The couplet translates,
"Thousands of aspirations such, that each aspiration takes your breath
away. I had many dreams, but they still weren't enough."
"Creativity
in India can make poetry as well as technology for the world," he said.
The Microsoft top boss, who is on
his third visit to India, reiterated how the tech giant can help the country in
its 'Digital India' initiative and build technology around augmented reality
and virtual reality.
Nadella has often compared poetry to
code.
