Thanks and gratitude to Prof Cijo Joseph Channel, an eminent poet and internationally acclaimed literary critic for writing a brilliant critical appreciation on my poem 'A LOOK AT LIFE-7'.Thank you very much, sir, for your wonderful words Smruti Ranjaniji, Your poem titled"A Look At Life-7" is a poem that reiterates the idea that ask you will get, search you will find and knock the door will be opened to you. If we go ahead in our lives to seek, to find, not to yield, then successes can be attained out of life because it is not too late to seek a new world. Only through perseverance, hard work, diligence and resilience, the real achievement can be had, mere belief that fortunes can come at the drop of a hat is not ideal at all. It is better to have expectations, but for the fulfilment of those anticipations, we need to work really hard. Only through the hard ways, life can come a full circle wherein all our dreams can be translated into reality one way or the other. Kudos to you for composing such a poem of magnificent nature.

A LOOK AT LIFE-7 BY- SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY Fortune never makes man Rather one makes his own Making a tryst with destiny Doing nothing and Expecting things to come by Is nothing but Building castles in the air Lived enough In anticipation of the unseen That never came by Cheated us of the dreams Once we dreamt That never saw light And died one after one Never fair To wait for that unusual shower Better to work and work To give substance and meaning To what we desire Wiser Not to fool us anymore And live on the whim of the other Much better to believe in one's self And carry that belief In the efforts we put and the goals we cherish For the dreams, we dreamt Are to come by copyright@smrutiranjan 8.6.2015 All rights reserved #Thanks and gratitude to Prof Cijo Joseph Channel, an eminent poet and internationally acclaimed literary critic for writing a brilliant critical appreciation on my poem 'A LOOK AT LIFE-7'.Thank you very much, sir, for your wonderful words Smruti Ranjaniji, Your poem titled"A Look At Life-7" is a poem that reiterates the idea that ask you will get, search you will find and knock the door will be opened to you.
