Dabble in poetry - mini attempt

A cat that is not domestic
Belongs to the wild, but majestic

No animal can dare a howl
When the tiger is on the prowl

No one is big in front of him
Revel if you have met him

The nimble paws with awesome force
Pounce on the prey in a planned course

When he kneels down with his mighty limbs
Await to see the awesome force they unleash

Of all the creatures created by God
Tiger must be the one that made him proud

Division of Andhra - డామిట్ కథ అడ్డంగా తిరిగింది !

What subtleties of dharma explain the short-termism that has come to define a historic decision related to the future of a State? Even the Partition of India was planned with greater care by a colonial government than this haphazard and utterly insensitive handling of the division of a premier State of the Union. Managed to catch hold off the actual excerpt from the original novel.

The author of the article quotes "Kanya sulkam" to make his point on Indians' reference to dharma, which we often resort to when it is convenient.
