I am informed that a lot of my fellow poets and well-wishers are visiting this thread. Now I can hardly afford to let Deep's terribly reacted line 'Chautarima kamred ko frustation' ruin my otherwise well-received reputation :-) I am an open book in Sajha. I have bored many posters to death with my political ramblings in countless threads in the past. My magnum opus 'Why Republicanism for Nepal' (- http://www.sajha.com/sajha/html/column.cfm?extraid=622 ) and the citations therein still serve as witness to that. On the other hand, I am not aware of any material from Deep sir to know what kind of views he holds. His occasional outbursts does not help much. Bela bela ma sanakka sankiney bhanda badhi maile kehi bheteko chhaina. ( I am a fan of his childhood stories, but that's not what we are talking about here.). However, I realized, from a pattern of disagreement expressed in uncharitable comments to several of my poems on this forum, Deep is deeply in anguish to tell something. So, this is an invitation from me to Deep sir for a round of a serious exchange of political views on this forum. If Deep sir is not comfortable to put his views on an open forum, I am glad to receive him on my email. Or how about a dating ? I am really interested to meet you in person. If you are upto a conversation right here, let's start with the poetry you found nothing but a frustation of a kamred. Why kamred ? Why can the protagonist not be an ordinary man with dreams about truth, freedom, democracy and good government ? ************** Kalanki bro, I appreciate your sense of humor and the way you convey serious message through it. You deserve a tap on the butt, I mean on the back. ************* Vivasme ji, Thank you for posting that poem. It was unique in it's uninhibited acceptance of our modernity and free from the burden of 'classicism'. And the message is clear. It will be really nice if we can have parts, if not in full, of poems recited there to post right here for general readers.
