Poetic Problem!!!

The problem was always, with the complicated strands of DNA!!!

I mean, obviously, if you start writing poetry at the age of ten, you are either Tagore, or ill!!!


As for me, the literary leech was raised, in blood!!

Now, the problem was that, my grandfather, the first poet-in-line, was a lesser known name of his times. No wonder, he was poor with marketing skills!!! And, there wasn't any concept of online feeding!

My dad, did make some repute, but, just not enough!!!


At the age of thirteen, I was literally emitting poetry, faster than, bowels of a stomach upset!!!

My dad wasted no time in confessing, they were worse than toad shit!!!

Poetry and toad shit???   What's the connection???


Probably the same, often, people's words have, with bull shit!!!


But then, I knew, I had to work hard. I had to be a writer.


And, I wasn't an IITian!!!
