Thanks and gratitude to Prof Cijo Joseph Chennelil, eminent poet and literary critic for his splendid critical appreciation of my poem 'SOMETHING I LOOK AT-55'. Thank you very much sir for your wonderful words of appreciation.

Smruti Ranjaniji,

Your poem titled"Something I Look at-55"is a poem that explores the relevance of Gandhian ideals in the present world,the two principles Gandhiji contributed to this world and put into practice in his life are Truth and Non-violence,these two principles today are more relevant than ever before.Today the world encounters many problems,tensions,wars,conflicts,chaos,confusion and commotion solely because of the attitude of resolving crisis through violence rather than dialogue and discussions,as a result of which today the world is ridden with extreme violence of large scale proportion,from which it is very difficult to extricate oneself out.It is not the physical violence that the world witnesses today but the violences that are born out of words and mental torture also are to be factored in while having discourse about the violences prevailing in the world,what we need to do to put an end to all the violences emerging out of this world is to be careful in terms of our personal dealings with others,if such small beginnings can be initiated to bring the violences to a sedate state,it will do the world a sea of good.Kudos to you for composing such a poem of magnificent nature.

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-55
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

On this day born a Mahatma
a mahatma in the true sense 
who preached truth and nonviolence 
and made it a reality 

Years have passed 
the world is waiting for
one more mahatma to come 
and give meaning and substance
to what he believed and followed

His life tells 
it is not all over.
still there is hope
one can still move on the path of truth
and nonviolence and be happy
if the Gandhi Mahatma could do it
when British imperialism was at its peak
why can not we in independent India?

We are to rediscover ourself and
find in us the mahatma, the uncompromising freedom fighter
the father of the nation, the simple
man with modest living who stood
rock solid against all odds

On this day let it be our pledge
to make the world a better place to live in
where prevails truth and nonviolence and justice denied to non

What a better tribute and remembering
can be than moving on the path
chalked out so beautifully by the
forgotten mahatma
the symbol of truth, peace and 
eternal brotherhood

The greatest votary of peace
and nonviolence and epitome of all
that is best in human being
is very much alive
stil alive in us the values
for which he fought for
only we need a bit of his courage
determination and motivation
to make it
