Inked
Feathers mirrors the simple insights in general
and also of my life that not only kindles the mind
but relieves the ennui of the readers as well. In
the beginning I have taken poetry as a hobby but
now it's my passion.
The pieces
of writing mentioned in the book are an example of
how poetry can be taken as an alternative to the
idle times and the way it has been rightly proved
by bringing out the depth of my heartfelt
experiences. For me writing poetry was a definite
boon and as pages turned on and on it has now
become a habit to write at least two mere verses a
day.
These 'strings'
of profundity were written in the zero hours of
the night when reality rolled through the pages in
verses. The only inspiration for beginning to
write was me and afterwards reality, until some
encouraging moments clashed. When a poem or two
were published, dazed and amazed by this sudden
new nuance of my creative power, inspirations
poured and overflowed.
Poems in
Inked Feathers sign truth;
Quotes
replicate the unchangeable truth;
Poetry in
Prose reveals the changing truth; all these mark
truth about truth.
Poems scale
a wide variety of topics some featured on my other
hobbies like Painting and Music. Painting gives me
such immense indescribable pleasure; it's almost
like transmigration; when the brush caresses the
paper or the canvas with delicate strokes, it
touches me with the ultimate happiness. The poems
"Language of Colors" and "The
Immortal" implicate the sunny shades of the
different degrees and fine distinctions of the
measures of this Fine Art.
I feel music
is the essence of the soul and I continue to
embrace it enthusiastically whenever and wherever
possible but my soul regrets till date for leaving
it undone. The poem "Music" and
"Instrumental"; publishes my perennial
love for Music, unfurling and reciting what the
basic 'notes' and 'instruments' of Indian
classical music connote to me.
There are
some heart rendering poems; "The Princess of
Darkness", "Reflections of a
Refugee" and "Meaning of a Woman",
written just to arouse the dead instincts of the
inferior souls. Poems like "Looks of a
Bride", "Friend", "Diwali",
etc are written on lighter notes and moods. It is
not possible to narrate the looks of all the poems
in the introduction but is separately briefed in
the 'Prologue'.
I give my
impressions and impersonation in the 'Quotes'
about the connubial and conventional 'happening
events' in a person's life like
"Marriage", "Friendship", etc.
I display my
mental appearances and notions in 'Poetry in
Prose', of how a non filial relation is
respected the most in the entire realm of
relations; by a short description of the "Teacher
- Student; Relationship";
taking the stalwart of Indian Philosophy Dr.
Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, as a wonderful example
of this. Concatenating to this, there are messages
for doomed and certain lovers and also 'Haiku',
a Japanese form of short poetry limited to lines
three, in the last but not the least, the 'HAIKU'
section.
Writing
poetry and books is a never ending saga, I waited
for a beginning. The more I write, the more I
bring out the hidden experiences and understanding
of the signs and manifestations of existence, its
perfect placement of events and proceedings
towards better progress of life.
