World Poetry Day, just Another Day in the Life of An An Artist

A bit late for this article, but better late than never. So day before yesterday, it was 12th World Poetry Day, as declared by UNESCO in 1999 "to give fresh recognition and impetus to national, regional and international poetry movements"

Well, the requirement of the celebration of a World Poetry Day, is similar to that of International Labour day, World Women's day, and so on. Yeah, Valentine's Day and Friendship Day fall in the same category. It is just a day to make those so diligently engrossed in daily chorus, realize, that there are certain things, that have attained a special character and importance for our lives, and we are so used to these that, their absence would just make the life impossible.

Poetry has been one of the most common form of expression through the history. The most ancient texts available to the man-kind has been recited in the form of poetry. The Odyssey, The Illiad, the Mahabharatha, the Vedas, the Ramayana, the Zend Avesta; all of them. Even today, the best of expressions in the literary world have come in the same form.

The best music, dance, and yeah, dialogues of dramas and movies comes poetically. And yeah, Poetry has evolved so much in the past, that one can define almost anything a Poetry.. That is the magic of a Verse.

Thus, as an artist myself, i cannot undermine the importance of poetry in life. And most of my friends shall accept this fact.
