• on Sympathy by Muhammed Iqbal, on June 12, 2005

  Iqbal's writings were in Urdu, a lyrical language and their elegance is lost in the process of translation into English. Many Indian writers of yore emphasised the universal truths like humanity and goodness through their pithy writings. Vemana (a Telugu poet), Bhartruhari (a Sanskrit scholar) and Kabir are some names that come to my mind. An interesting titbit: Though Iqbal later veered towards separate homeland for Muslims, his initial writings were full of patriotism and love towards Hindustan (India). His soul-stirring patriotic song, sare jahan se achha is sung on all the important occasions and is still very popular among Indians.

• on Poetry by Pablo Neruda, on December 16, 2004

  My motivation to learn Spanish was Pablo Neruda and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I hope to read their works in their lengua one day. What inspires one to write? It is difficult to point out one thing and say that this is it. Reading this beautiful poem could be an inspiration to set forth on a exploration of one's need to express oneself.

• on Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe, on October 31, 2003

  I always thought that Poe specialised in dark/morbid writes. This piece was a refreshing revelation.

  This one moved me to tears. A powerful write that captured the pathos of the situation.
