#Thanks and gratitude sir Cijo Joseph Chennelil for reading my poem SOMETHING I LOOK AT-46 and writing a beautiful critical appreciation on it
Smruti Ranjaniji,
Your poem titled"Something I Look at-46" is a poem that depicts a world which is in a state of turmoil and chaos.In our inner beings we are at war with ourselves with respect to which ideology to adopt,we have two options,one is related to a world of values and ideals which can add a moral framework to the society at large and other is a world which is in the grip of use and throw culture and crass commercialisation.The bulk number of people in the world does swim with the currents by embracing this culture of manipulation and radicalisation implemented and carried forward in the name of shortsighted development and wayward progress.In the outside world we are confronted with existential crisis in which if we want to live an upright life,we are looked through the prism of suspicion.The world is such where established principles do get hammered and violated in favour of a world which chases shadows of various dimensions and categories.The world is affected by conflicts of multiple pedigrees such as ethnic cleansing,extrajudicial killings,summary executions,prosecution and persecution of the innocent,murders in the name of religions,castes and creeds and deliberate and wanton vitiation of the political atmosheres and governance systems.Today lies are presented as truths and truths are presented as lies.The media networks and social networking sites prolong and protract the culture of untruths.Fake news and paid news have become part of our intellectual diets and menu.We have a society in the threshold of reaping the harvest of the poisonous and venomous seeds,it has sown in the fertile ground of hatred.The post truths and new normalities have become the order of the day.The pretentious behaviouria patterns are enacted everywhere and everyone wears masks which will one day slip and everyone stands thoroughly exposed as a result of it.The only way the world can be salvaged is to create an atmosphere in the world which promotes the principles of love,truth,brotherhood and peace.Let us hope for such an o
