To the Man of letters,
Who introduced me to William Shakespeare and the world of Poetry.
My special congratulations for you in reaching the Thousandth Blog Article.
Post after Post, Day after Day, Week after Week, ...
Month after Month, Year after Year without a break.
For last three years, dedicating two hours a day and posting close to 990 Poems is a commendable contribution to Literature.
For Now and for the future, what you created will stay as “Digital library of Alexandria in Poetry.”
As Seneca once said, Life is long if you know how to use it.
Undoubtedly today, you illustrated the said quote for me.
Thanks for everything and
Thanks for the interview.

1. Favorite Poets?

Now I am a fan of Sara Teasdale, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Charles Bukowski, Rumi, Octavio Paz, Khalil Gibran, Pushkin, Robert W Service, Ronald Dahl,Christina Rossetti,Forugh Farrokhzad, Charlotte Smith, Oscar Wilde, Wislava Szymborska, Dylan Thomas, Dorothy Parker, Langston Hughes, Adelaide Anne Procter, and many many more.
2. What is your first line in Poetry ?
"It takes a lifetime to die."
3. What is your philosophy behind the Poetry ?
Life is ephemeral is what my earlier religious convictions said. I find a proof for that in poetry.
4. What is your message to the upcoming Poets ?
I am sorry. I am not qualified to answer this question.
5. How is the idea of Blogging is born ?
In fact my son has introduced me to the blog world because he used to write something and ask me for my opinion. One day I wanted to start my own and wordpress came in handy. I had a blog when I was using hot mail but that somehow I could not familiarize myself.
The blog is an outcome of my disappointment to continue my studies at UH.
6. Any interesting Anecdotes or Poems you would like to share ?
There are incredibly many. But immediately comes to mind is Shelly's poem England in 1819. That perfectly suits the present scenario in India.
7. How is the future looking for Indian writers or Poets?
This again I am not qualified to say.
8. Who influenced you most into writing ?
My friend Mr Y Subrahmanya sarma and my maternal uncle RS Krishna Moorthy.
9. How do you pick up the short stories ?
It is really difficult exercise. i read, i enquire from friends, I browse .
10. What are your favorite books ?
How to win friends and Influence People, Good Bye Mr Chips, Anne Frank Diary, are some of the books that influenced me in the early part of my life.
11. Given a Chance, which Poet or Poetess you would like to have a Coffee with ?
With Shakespeare, Sara Teasdale.
