CONFESSIONs OF A MAN ACCUSED OF MURDERING ENGLISH LANGUAGE

"Portrait of an old man yet to be a" This title of the blog may remind you of a literary great. Since I am no longer young I have to modify the original title. More than 30 years ago I dreamed of becoming a poet and consigned those dreams to the fire at the altar of employment and regular income. Also perhaps the dreams I had were not commensurate with the talent and passion I had and I failed. Surprisingly I still notice the small sparkle of the dream in the dark corners of my subconsciousness. I have started all over again . In the meantime poetry scene in Tamil nadu has changed dramatically for the better and I can never aspire to be one of the poets. This blog is a record of a man (not so young at that) who dreams of re-inventing the dream.. In this blog I will translate into English, my attempts in tamil poetry or whatsoever it may be. I know I have failed to get noticed in tamil. Keeping my ignorance about English,its poetry, and my inability to write in english, in view,  I am very confident that I may fail yet again. But …I start….  I REMIND YOU THE TITLE OF THIS POST  i.e. Confessions of a man accused of murdering english language. Let the queen and her citizens and the English speaking citizens of the world may forgive me or throw me into the miltonian hell (rather my posts in this blog).
