I have been teaching English for about 30 years. I have an abiding interest in reading and writing. Though I have made a few attempts at poetry, I often contribute my views and opinions to magazines and newspapers. Thomas Hardy is my favourite novelist; Shakespeare and Pope my favourite poets; Late GK Reddy and TJS George my columnists.

A Hell on the Earth

A Hell on the Earth

Words that convey no understanding,
Remedies that offer no cure from disease,
Knowledge that is divorced from humanism,
Make the horrible Hell a bewitching...

To seek and to find

Man seeks god,
Where he cannot find.
In the mortar and bricks
of towers, domes and spires.

He mouths mantras of words;
Recites the scriptures of pages.
Neither inane reading nor sloganeering
Makes him any less...
