I have 3 rolemodels -> Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Jaisingh Chohan and Benjamin Franklin.



And Jaisingh is getting married and very sadly I will not be able to make it because of certain reasons... Sometime I will make up for this.

All of us discover time and again that we do breath an occasional faint thought that somehow has crossed our minds, captivating us. And when we decipher that experience into words, we realise we have written poetry.

Many a time I chance upon little events, trivial realisations and vague imaginations that I feel to give a form by enunciating them. All the while, I end up roaming where I never been. I have learnt to respect whatever that can be thought, never to reject the basis for any viewpoint and never to denounce what cannot be personally embraced. Meanwhile, as I still continue to hear what can be written, here is some verse for you...

Wanderings with poetry is my second book and I see myself evolving with it. I have tried that the ideas that are splashed around here have a collective vibrant charm. Individually each of these verses may sometimes appear inane and simple but they together can turn out to be carelessly beautiful like a long refreshing saunter across the familiar and the unknown. Few are pure play with words, few others are mere experimentations and the rest are those hard truths that happen to hit anyone in the face who ventures out to seek his meaning. Hope you enjoy this collection, set in vast colourful Indian playfield.

The most beautiful boulevard of Bangalore. This road is right next to my Bangalore house in Jayanagar. The road is few kilometers long and there are wide parks (more than 20 I think) on either side of the road and residential layouts next to the long parks. The most beautiful place to live in South Bangalore (excluding certain scenic places in outer fringes of South Bangalore and suburbs).

The aesthetic value is immense. Many Bangaloreans drive down here during the weekends just to walk in the greenery here.

And there is now a danger threatening this place. A overhead metro rail is planned to come up here. There sure are other alternative routes over lesser beautiful areas. But these routes are not being pursued because it is cheaper to cut down trees across a vast stretch of greenery than to plan the route through roads where commercial shops are on either side.

Please voice your concern. And hope that it will be heard. This road was the vision of Lakshman Rau and this place is rightly called Lakshman Rau Boulevard. This stretch Bangalore is a social heritage site.
