The Indian Thread (TiT) # 15

<p>So we have a poet here? Which side of the post-modernist divide do you fall in? (Noldo and I have already divided ourselves on that :))</p>

<p>Hehe…I was thinkin exactly that Shri…</p>

<p>just keep urselves away from Hypertension guys/gals…</p>

<p>I hate that tiny voice! Hate it. :mad:</p>

<p>I think we’re way, way beyond hypertension here…</p>

<p>Coronary Thrombosis seems more likely. :)</p>

<p>Yet another victim, and enemy of that tiny voice here. :)</p>

<p>(We’re talking about nothing again, aren’t we, this thread really should be renamed.)</p>

<p>You have a published poet here :D. Well, published in newspapers and magazines.</p>

<p>What is the post-modernist divide?</p>

<p>I write poetry that’s kinda narrative, with an aabb rhyme scheme. I could PM some of them to you.</p>

<p>I m in stand with u lakshya…I HATE it!!!..</p>

<p>@Shrivats: I had to google that. :p</p>

<p>But yeah, it’s right on the money. About an hour ago, my door bell rang - I felt my heart do a double flip. Seriously.</p>

<p>Ah it’s nothing. (I hate post-modern poetry, Noldo likes it, and so on…)</p>

<p>(Not that I really know that much about post-modern poetry, but, well, I know it when I see it. :))</p>

<p>My brain is going to blow up. Now.</p>

<p>Published? Wow, Kriti. I’ve won stuff with mine, but never worked up the courage to try and get it somewhere other than my hard drive and/or competition sheets.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Oh, poor non-bio student, exposed to a cruel, cruel world without the security of knowing the function of Psophocarpus tetraglonolobus. How do you live?</p>

<p>Shrivats – hate modernism all you want, but you can’t deny the absolute greatness of [Burnt</a> Norton](<a href=“http://www.tristan.icom43.net/quartets/norton.html]Burnt”>http://www.tristan.icom43.net/quartets/norton.html). And here’s another one – [Leda</a>, After the Swan](<a href=“http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/16180]Leda”>Leda, After the Swan by Carl Phillips - Poems | Academy of American Poets) wot’s also great, so there. :p</p>

<p>I manage just fine. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Nice job kriti. *impressed. My writing’s been restricted to Young Times, a local rag/magazine, and the Frank Anthony All-India Essay Competition. (Which is this terrible thing where they make you write paeans to “The Future of Education” and “The 21st Century Woman”) :)</p>

<p>Though I dislike poetry of any form. I kind of like ‘The Four Quartets’. What category does that put me in?</p>

<p>The category of ‘really cool people’, Lakshya. :smiley: The Four Quartets are wonderful things, most definitely.</p>

<p>I’ll grant you Burnt Norton Noldo, (resolves not to generalize), but I’ve always hated poems that require voluminous footnotes. Kind of destroys the purpose, but that’s just my view…</p>

<p>Can I join that category, can I, can I?
:):D</p>

<p><—</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I like the sound of that. :D</p>

<p>I hav been just watching ‘‘5 points which can sav India from Bangladesh’’ on Zee News…I acnt quite believe myself that I hav been watchin that…</p>
