The world with its myriad shades reflects within the eyes of one who look at it, however, not everyone who watch it become a poet, nor all poets who look at it turns a seer. A seer is born when what is perceived is churned within the deepest self and turns to its essence. It is a magic, how Parvathy Ramachandran, a new bloom in the garden of literature, transforms those ordinary vision into a poetry of profound experience that a reader would feel throbbing within.
It is another morning, but not just another morning! The beginning of another beautiful day on earth, to celebrate the beauty of life, the colours in it and to cherish on a journey to unseen tomorrows.
While opening my eyes towards raindrops dripping fr- om the dense green, the skies still in darkness and the world around me in the same darkness. What a phase of life, we are going through now?!
Yet, if we ponder we have all those answers around us. A deadly virus that has changed life on the planet causing distress that'll last through our lives. The false prejudice that we behold that human beings are the leaders of the earth and there is almost nothing that would defeat us, has disappeared with the entry of a tiny virus that is even invisible to our eyes. Everything reminds us of the way we have to treat the environment, the values that we have to behold as humans and so much more.
Post - independence Indian English poetry is decidedly a new genre that is essentially Indian in its experience, emotional intensity and creative articulation as when Kamala Das asserts in her poem 'An Introduction': The language I speak
Becomes mine, its distortions, its queernesses,
All mine, mine alone. It is half-English, half- Indian,
funny perhaps, but it is honest,
It is as human as I am human.
The Indian literary landscape has never been marked by gender equality though some women poets like Toru Dutt, Mahadevi Verma, Sarojini Naidu, Amrita Pritam and Kamala Das, Lila Ray, Monika Varma and Suniti Namjoshi among many others, have successfully came out with genuine poetry that blends their private experiences, dreams and aspirations with the world outside. Today, their voices are heard not just in India but across the globe.
