Smurti Ranjan Ji,
Your poem titled"Something l look at-3" is a poem on the theme of love and its various dimensions from one end to the next. The concept of love is searched in a holistic manner. Love it seems is isolated, alienated and cornered to a large extent. The search for love is an extensive and exhaustive one stretching from the palaces of the affluent people to the hamlets of the poverty-stricken ones. Sometimes, the concept of love is an evasive and elusive concept, it remains in slippery slope terrines always very difficult to realise it by the pursuers of this beautiful and predominant emotion in the world. True love is present in a place where we have people acting in a self-effacing manner for the sake of others. Love is after all all about sharing and caring. It is an emotion that creates scenarios of multiple dimensions culminating in the emotions of life and death due to its right or wrong application in terms of the practice of this emotion by us human beings. Love is present everywhere in this vast universe, what we need to do is to see it, hear it, search it, find it and respond to it adequately and aptly. Although love is an all-pervasive force, it is very hard to bring into fruition because of the misrepresentation of it by the sundry elements around and the vulgarity and obscenity attached to its narration. Kudos to you for composing such a poem of enormous stature on the theme of love.
