Fade Away

My poem, published in this month's issue of the Spark magazine. Their theme this month was the 'Culture of India'. The poem highlights the dichotomy of the country - a proud nation with a rich history that we admire, yet the past has to jostle for space with the present, often ending up on the losing side.

Conservation of heritage especially architecture has been a long complex debate in India where preservation with an exception of few structures has been a lost battle. That is why "4ever" hurts, hurts real deep.

Parth said...

@Pallavi: Indeed. I think some of the challenge is cultural and some simply practical. That's the dichotomy that prevails and has to be dealt with.

Loved it! :)

And I want to slap Ravi & Geeta!!! Find a paper or blackboard to write on, you guys!

Parth said...

@Radha: That's hilarious. I like your rant against Ravi and Geeta :)

Hey Parth, how are you? Don't know if you remember me;I had gently knocked on your door a couple years back I guess. Well my guilt of 'doing nothing' but just be a Mom (although that's anything but 'nothing') has reached it's saturation level so much so that 'the ghost of the past' just bore me and not haunt me anymore. So I finally decided to agitate my demons with my thoughts and kill them with my pen, ah well keyboard!!! So I decided to visit your blog and get some much needed inspiration. Thank you. I have put a recent post in Hindi in my very dormant blog site http://www.praxisuno.blogspot.com/....see if it deserves your time. By the way I am embarrassingly technologically challenged; I know about computers what computers know about me, so I do not know how can I add you in my blog roll. Please help a damsel in distress. If you would like to be in touch then my email is katariya@gmail.com ....Saying Hi from London currently, we moved here almost a year back. Looking forward to hear from you.
