A paradox indeed! Some of the nicest people I know are bloodthirsty terrorists who would rip Mr. bin Laden appart with their bare hands if he was in their sight. Others cheer. Sad world.
The perfect picture is but an illusion, a kind of smoke screen to hide the sorry state of humanity; like the Great and Powerful Oz, only an illusion behind a thin curtain that hides the truth. The world is changing and it is changing in a negative way. Once it seemed that money was the evil, driving the world, but now it seems to be driven by the will of terrorist and nobody is immune to its grasp. Your picture is graphic and disturbing, but it drives home the reality that is our world today. A very powerful and poignant write, Bhuwan, that curdles the blood in the veins where peace and freedom should flow.

Terrifying in its "simplicity" of statement and the power of its implications... You speak as one who is fully immersed in the dynamics of such inhuman struggle and suffering, and as one whose mind has grappled long and hard with every aspect of considering the issues: the material and spiritual; the human and inanimate; the political and social. Your perceptions are "picture perfect" and do not lie... like the lens of the camera. Such composure in your voice and yet passion in your heart. You are a Man of Words and a poetic mouthpiece of those who have no voice. Bless you and any news of you and the children would be most welcome. I think of you all often and wonder what's with you...

An apt commentary on the brutal realities of war and terrorism in our lifetime. None of us like it but we all, in one manner or another, have to confront it.

this is a superb work. Poets such as yourself are opening the eyes of the rest of the world to the horrors and trauma that others face every day. Your work is extremely important...as important as the work of the photojournalists who enlighten us as well. May God bless you and yours and keep you safe.
Just as life during the pandemic was color-coded with different hues representing different levels of danger, life in its aftermath has become shaded in similar ways. As a self-styled “Seeker of Beauty with Beauty,” (borrowing from a quote by W.E.B.
South Baltimore serves as the backdrop for this gripping story of three brothers leading very different lives but joined forever by the secrets of a painful family past.
