The rest of the website screams of one word only - 'geek'. Okay, I know, I did go overboard with
all that tech stuff. So I cannot blame you for jumping to
a similar, if less flattering, conclusion. But well the truth
is not that bad, really. Let me see, if this can convince you otherwise.
This section dedicated to the poetically inclined. And well
introductions to them poems on this page. That should be a
good way to begin it I think.
Spent Dreams

Well this was the first one in the current binge. Started
with no other reason than the fact that this title sounds
wacky. And, well, developed into well a post mortem of success.
I am guessing here, not that I have been there. Tell me if
you think this is, or is not, the way you felt. Got different
reactions for this one. One friend actually thought of making
this sound more upbeat. That is optimism for you.
What

Statutory warning: Dont read this if you are feeling down.
It just might push you over. And this is not my reaction alone.
Did not like the title of the earlier one, it was too 'titlish'.
Hence this. But what happened was real. To really understand
me, you should get this poem the way it should be understood.
I could give you a hint, but then it is not always that I
can put it into words. And even just academically, I like
this poem for the raw emotions, something I will continue
in the future poems too.
Go To Hell

I was on a roll, after the last one and decided it was time
to expand my horisons. So decided to jump into songwriting
for a change. Blame it all on the follies of youth and you
will hit the nail on the head. Anyways. Have you ever loved
and wanted to hate at the same time. Imagine the rose, and
the hand responding to the incredible beauty of the rose almost
on its own accord. Then the thorn cuts right in between you
and the beauty, and you finger rushes for the safety of the
mouth. What did you feel? And what did you feel if this was
just metaphorical. (PS: I think I have a punkish tune for
this too)
Grown Up Now

I love this one. You know it has become fasionable to say,
"I am still a child inside me.". And believe most
of the time you have a sniggering idiot, who is just waiting
for you to turn your back to the child. But when there truly
is a child, you will not see him. Because he is a child. And
children dont advertise. So what happens is this, and people
thing otherwise.
Charade

It had started differenly but ended as this. You have seen
The Matrix. I dont suffer from such manic proportions
in delusions, but well a small helping never hurts. What if
the whole concept of governance is just a facade? (PS: I love
The Matrix) (PS2: And I do have a tune for this too.)
Just a Crazy love song

Have you ever been in love? Mebbe this will help. (PS: No
Tune, atleast none that sounds unlike the earlier ones)
5 a.m.
Uploaded February, 18, 2002
This one was after a long time. And a lot had happenned in
the meanwhile. And it was 5 in the morning and I was dog tired.
Sleep was nowhere in sight. And mentally, things were feeling
like fun. And sarcasm was dripping all over me. This happenned.
And of you still believe that this is not your idea of poetry, feel free to email me right away at n_ravikiran [at] email [dot] iimcal [dot] ac [dot] in.
