Thanks and gratitude to Prof Cijo Joseph Chennelil, eminent poet and literary critic for his wonderful critical appreciation of my poem'A LOOK AT LIFE-45'.Thanks and gratitude sir for your beautiful words Smruti Ranjaniji, Your poem titled"A Look At Life -45"is a poem that bares before us the peculiarities and contradictions that we come across here in this world.The fleeting nature of this world is a certainty which we can't discount at all.Everything in this world is subjected to change,that is the only reality we come across in our lives.The truths and lies also undergo multiple changes as per the transitory nature of the society.Our perceptions and assumptions do depend upon the individuals we come across in our lives,often our perceptions are created by the hysteria of the massive media networks spewing out venom on us with their fake and concotated new items.The truths that you perceive as rights may not have any truth in it afterall.There are certain bitter truths that are swept under the carpets,they are more truthful than the so called truths of the officialdom.For example,we all know why the wars are sustained here in this world,it is subtly to help the arms and ammunitions industries based in the West,but if we make such an argument,nobody takes notice of that at all,instead they all believe that the Western powers wage war in oriental territories to bring democracy to these places,in fact that contention is far from the truth.So a truth is not a permanent truth and likewise a lie is not a permanent lie,so always remember that today's lies are tomorrow's truths and today's truths are tomorrow's lies.So it is time that we must not be judgemental in terms of our approach,instead let us not judge others so that we shall not be judged at the end.Kudos to you for composing such a poem of magnificently philosophical pedigree.
