Musings of an infant Blogger....

Hi everyone...it has been more than one yr since I created this blog but i never took the pain of posting any content..it is partly because of the inferiority complex I used to bear in my mind over my writing skills and the fact that some of my friends are already excellent bloggers and I ddn't want to get belittled when compared to them [:)] But over this year I made efforts in improving my skills and I think now I can write with decent quality.

For the past few days I've been suffering from insomnia which is a common phenomenon among many IITians due to their irregular sleep habits and now I also received accolades as a member of that group. I gave up after 5 useless hours of struggle to get sleep and decided to try some thing new. So, here I'm writing this blog. After thinking for a while what should I start with writing on this blog, I decided to introduce you to my new dimension which I started to explore of late.

Poetry, I have never been passionate about it and I always believed that I wont be able to write even a single line. It is my girl friend for whose repeated requests I gave a try on her [:P] and it turned out to be a good one and thus the seeds for my interest in poetry were sown. Though here I'm not going to talk much about my poems on her, I'll show you some of my other poems.

Many a time, my mind is volleyed with questions like why there is always suffering in this world, why there is always some kind of oppression, why can't be everyone equal, why god is so unjust and so on...I got the chance to read only మహాకవి శ్రీ శ్రీ poems till now and the way he asked similar questions with his poetry was amazing. After reading his famous "Mahaprasthanam," I instantly became a great fan of him and felt like writing a poem on him and thus I wrote the following one.....

అగ్గిపుల్ల, సబ్బు బిళ్ళ కాదేది కవితకనర్హమన్న ఓ మహాకవి శ్రీ శ్రీ....
స్పందించే హృదయమే ఉంటె అవ్వగలడు ప్రతివాడు నీలా ఒక శ్రీ శ్రీ...
మరిగే రక్తం కవితావేశమై నరనరాన ప్రవహించే ఓ విప్లవకవి శ్రీ శ్రీ...
నీకు అందిస్తాను నా నివాళి, నీ స్ఫూర్తితో నేనూ ఒక అభినవ శ్రీ శ్రీనై..!!

Unlike many people who get the flow to complete any poem in a single go when their emotions are intense, for me it some times takes months to get a proper line [:O]. Taking a theme and trying to build lines around that theme is my writing approach. This was my third poem and started in december but could only give the finishing a couple of days back...

(I'll talk about my other poems in coming posts)
