Re: Re: [nukkad] Punishing children



----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tip of the day:  When angry, count to four; when very angry, swear.
- Mark Twain

This mail from Arya, with his poem 'Daddy, Don't hit me' proves to me once more that joining nukkad has been a momentous event in my life. I am not a connoiseur of poetry, but I must say I was very greatly impressedby this poem. It is all the more impressive because it has not sprouted spontaneously, but has been made to order. Real poetry comes from deep within the heart. By saying this, I do not intend to undrvalue Arya's poetry. I am rather saying that his poet's heart is so sensitive that it sprouts spontaneously in response to the wail of a child, giving an apparent impression that it is made on purpose. I hope I am clear. Truly has Maithili Sharan Gupt said;

Viyogi hoga pahela kavi,
Ah se upaja hoga gaan.

True poetry indeed flows from a bleeding heart!

May Arya's heart continue to bleed, and may poetry continue tospring forth from it. [No offence meant. We salute Christ's bleeding heart too!]
