Dance Of Shiva Comments

Mind-numbing. Artistic perfection. Symmetry in execution. Deeply philosophical. Hauntingly melodical... Dim-dim-dim of the Damru drowned... Unforgettable and totally unexpected ending. Pradhan's creative genius at the very best. Kudos. One of the very best in Indian English writing.

CREATION and then DESECRATION - soon back again

So tsunamis were created, typhoons were created tornadoes, blizzards, earthquakes were created His footsteps were heard In Hiroshima, Chernobyl, Auschwitz, New York and he danced and waltzed and twirled and careened till His legs were tired and feet were bruised tiger skin torn, hair locks shorn until he could dance no more Stupendous write..... Shiva's 'thandava' with his third eye open... in all its fierce fury and frenzy! The concluding three lines pierce deep! ! Top marks.... Well done Dr. Tapan!
