Well, I sincerely believe all of us are poets - by default .
As human beings (for sure) we have feelings ….and feelings are the foundation of writing poems. Some one told me quite recently (of course, who is in the distribution list) that he / she feels like writing a poem after reading Lokesh's poem. Do you get the point ??? When we are very happy, our expressions becoming beautiful and poetic - I mean - both the facial expressions as well as verbal expressions.
It is not by accident that many of the God Men gave us scriptures in the form of poems / songs regardless of what ever religion they profess to; it is just that they are truly blissful beings that their expressions turned out to be poems. Coming to you and me, though we are not in their level of blissful experience, we can very well consciously create situations and circumstances in our lives to make us truly blissful once a while …..and record it as poems. Eternity or Divine Grace or God or Nature - what ever name you chose to define it - ensures that when one of us are happy, it spreads to others around him. Like sorrow and hatred, good things too are contagious.
For that matter I am taking poems only as a symbolism in the earlier paras. I consider my "one pagers", the one to one mail interactions with every one of you people - why, even this very mail as an earnest expression from me. To be bit blunt, the intention of this mail is not to impress you people but this is for my own self improvement.
There are other art forms like music, painting, sculpute which are non-verbal and push us into a great experience - but many of them unfortunately need some formal training to enjoy them. In that sense, Reading, Writing, Hearing and Speaking (can we call them RWHS ?) are simpler form of arts that all of us can do provided we are blessed by God with our sense organs and blessed by our parents on education. Since, we cannot take any credit on the basic skills of RWHS, we should earnestly try to improve upon it. And once we start working on these art forms sincerely, we will start finding that our learning is always an upward graph which never ends. You can also find that RWHS are paired in a way. To speak well, we need to listen well….To write well, we need to read well. The first of the two are outputs while the latter too are inputs.
Not a soul on earth can feel proud that he is an expert in RWHS because, the moment the pride comes to the mind, there is possibility of slip. We automatically turn lot more humble and receptive and then more growth happens…..
So, that was my quota for this week. Thinking seriously if I should start a blog instead of writing in official mail id….I promise to you all that I will allocate time to you all weekly once as much as I can though it may slip to once a fortnight on some really hard weeks. This is only about my mails to you. From your side, you are free to write me on any thing that I could be of some value. I will always respond to you, if needed.

"To speak well, we need to listen well….To write well, we need to read well." - I have heard that before. "Oru yezhuthaalan niraya padikka vendum. Oru nalla yezhuthaalan sambavangalai unnippaaga gavanikka therinthu irruka vendum. Andha sambavangalai nandraaga yezhudha therindhu irruka vendum" - Sujatha's dialoge rendered by Madhavan in the film "Kannathil Muthamittal". Either you must have copied that -or- you are touching the level of Sujatha (ahaaaa). Yedhu yeppadiyO - Vaazhga Valamudan.
