#here is the critical appreciation of my poem"A LOOK AT LIFE-21" by non-other than the eminent poet and internationally acclaimed literary critic Prof Cijo Joseph Channel. Thanks and gratitude sir for your brilliant words of appreciation
Dear Smruti Ranjaniji,
Your poem titled"A Look At Life-21" is a great exposition regarding the manifold interpretations of what it is meant to be independent. Independence is an internal mindset if we are free internally, everything comes around bit by bit and piece by piece. It is to be a way of life. To be in an independent state of affairs would mean love towards one another and respect for the dignities of others. Freedom does mean that we need to give importance to the freedom of others, it also does mean adherence to justice,fair-play and equality. Freedom is a positive attitude which generates positive vibes in the society. Freedom is all about a mentality to share and care for each other. Lack of fear is the first sign of freedom. Real freedom transcends above boundaries, borders, barriers, barricades, controls and bridles. Freedom is a concept that enlightens and encourages one and all. Freedom is all about the ability to absorb the manifold aspects of life without fear and favour and also without any bias or discrimination. When freedom attains these above-mentioned characteristics, then it becomes really a heaven of freedom indeed envisaged by the great poet of India, Tagore.Kudos to you for composing such a poem of exquisite nature.
