There are five good reasons why I liked this particular poem. One, its formulaic structure, almost like interwtined but complicated as well as inter-dependent equations. Secondly, its subdued ambiguity; for example, one can read the first stanza as both 'He was dreaming of her, with which he died - never having been able to realize his dream', and 'She had him come in dream, but that remained only there - not in reality'. Third, it is a thinking poem, which sets you to look inwards, and begin a journey through the uneven terrains and pathways of 'love'. Fourthly, it is an interesting comparison between 'sleep' and 'awakening' as well as 'dream' and 'reality' - paired with or running parallel with 'him' and 'her'. Lastly, its curt structure, tight metricity will surely attract anyone.
Hello Mr. Rajarshi Singh. I got your number from a common friend Pavitra Srivatsan. I work with an NGO called Comet Media Foundation in Mumbai. We are organising a computer creativity course end June and are looking for NGos (even out stationers) to participate. can you please send me your email address.
