Diatelle Poetry - Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh

Harivanshrai Bachchan

popular as BIGB.

Born to a poet

in a lesser known Allahabad town.

Learns, educates, graduates and inclines toward art and cinema;

failingly offers voice on radio only to taste success later.

Sharpness of dialogue delivery and dedicated adaption into characters of the story;

turns himself into a superstar and heartthrob of millions worldover.

Billions prayed, when a punch almost killed him.

A mix of sorts made him go bankrupt.

Yet, the STAR in him rises;

again with smaller roles

and KBC dreams.

Amazingly inspiring,

Amitabh.

On Double-Crossing...

While firing big guns

resting them on innocent

yet, strong sturdy shoulders;

foolish and dumb double-crossers

casually ignore powerfully painful

recoil that surely will

make everything sharply unstable.

On writing Haikus...

It was just a year ago I read few Haiku's authored by good friend and amazing poet - Shyam Sunder Sharma who lives in Delhi, India. And then after reading I could hardly make out what the author wanted to convey through three lines and countable words with a picture in the background. It took me couple of months to understand what an "Haiku" meant. I then quickly realized that "Haiku" is a Japanese form of poetry which has three lines and seventeen syllables written as 5-7-5 format.

Soon after that I thought of writing a "Haiku". I don't know if I succeeded at all and failed miserably, but the idea of expressing in few words and that too powerfully was quite convincing for me.

The journey continued and I authored around 75 odd "Haiku" poetry in one year with various thoughts and imagery. And recently was able to publish my own book entitled "Maiden Musings" - Vol 1 on 'Createspace' - An Amazon Company. Book is available for purchase on Createspace and Amazon both.

"Maiden Musings" includes thirty "Haiku" poetry written over a period of one year. Fifteen Haikus include pictures and other fifteen create an image on reading them.

Very soon I plan to launch Vol 2 of this project.
