World poetry scene

Posted on July 9, 2004 by V.Isvarmurti

Back in India, I chose for what seemed heroic and thus tried  my hand in several projects, some landed me in trouble and drove me into obscurity, some, daring and untried also lifted me above the ordinary and mundane and had given me the “spirits of the air”, to quote Shelley.  If I can quote…

No poetry for 40 years

Posted on July 7, 2004 by V.Isvarmurti

No poetry till now, to the year 2003! After this long gap of nearly 40 years I suddenly found myself gripped with the poetical muse! I can’t explain the reasons. Perhaps, I reasoned with in myself that writing my autobiography in Tamil and after the many drafts of my prose autobiography circulated among my friends…

My Oxford years

Posted on July 7, 2004 by V.Isvarmurti

Shortly before I left for England I put my poems into a slim volume of poetry with the help of my friends in Coimbatore. It was brought out only when I was in UK. The first edition didn’t bring me to anyone’s notice except it was printed in a book form! So poor was the…

Tamil literature in the new century?

Posted on July 7, 2004 by V.Isvarmurti

Thoughts on Tamil literature and reflections on my poems and tunes. One former Indian Prime Minister Vajpayee flaunts his poetical skills! Another former Prime Minister V.P.Singh had his poetry reading session listened to by four other former Prime Ministers! All these happenings had lifted Indian poetry to Olympian heights?

Kalam’s call for second Green Revolution

Posted on April 6, 2004October 12, 2010 by V.Isvarmurti

Ajit Singh’s call for productivity and intensive farming. Do they know the ground reality of agriculture? Who speaks for farmers? How committed is the government for the agri sector? At the second International Congress on Plant Physiology, the President said this. The agri minister said this. What about the Prime Minister and his distinguished Cabinet…

Surplus horticulture production is here!

Posted on April 6, 2004October 12, 2010 by V.Isvarmurti

But no credible agri export strategy is visible! Surplus onion and potato production and fall in prices! This `annual ritual’ gives us an idea of how horticulture sector is capable of over producing and prices crashing! Indian horticulture cries for attention. What we need is not extension of horticrops. Nor crop productivity. What we need…
