[Poem] Dr.B R Ambedkar Savoir-Faire and A Trouvaille of India

dr-br-ambedkarBorn at Mhow,

Millions were enraptured when his endogenous ideas effused,

Which were not skewed,

But were always shewed and previewed.

He belonged to Madhya Pradesh,

Said yes to afresh and to afresh,

He refreshed,

To make his ideas synchromeshed

Hence never got enmeshed, which

Made him like a VARGHESE.

Brilliant in economics, architectonics and hedonics,

Kept him always loaded with an umpteen of competencies and skill,

He was never in appall,

Thereafter immediately, we are acquainted with the National Survey figures regarding poverty indices. The survey declared Muslims as the most backward community. This exploded the notion of the so-called ‘Muslim appeasement’ appendix. [Read more...]




I am, my Eagle’s Slave

Article by Kalpit Tandon

I am often intrigued by the fascination I can garnish for an interest of mine so abruptly, as if I am struck by a bolt of lightning.

That interest can be a particular genre of music to which I’m connected to, a poetry which I have written or any character driven novel which I relish. What is it in me that flaps its wings so vehemently, which gathers its strength so intensely, that my own will surrenders to its mighty power? [Read more...]
