I have read 'Meghadhootam' and i am an admirer of Kalidasa's works....it became easy for me to slip into the plot and flow of ur version....well started....hope it will gain upon the vast knowledge of kalidasa abt people, places, flora and fauna....which u already seem to project! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! My best wishes for ur venture! ! !

Interesting indeed..I like narrative poems...for instance I read sinahala translations of Homer's Odyssy at very young age....And nice of you to translate Mega Dhootham in to English..I ll be back..

Great expressions! It is a fitting tribute to the great Poet Kalidas. Great service to people who can't read Sanskritized version of Kalidasa. May your valiant efforts continue.

Kes, my dear friend, I'm not sure I follow you completely, but I think you're writing about love and I'll say let love reign supreme, even if the gods deign it differently. So go ahead and love your wife and let all else flow down the hill into the abyss. Is this a fair comment? Mark

I am not familiar with the works of Kali Dasa, but I do love what you have written. It seems Mythological. The Crime is with the cruelness and the selfishness of the Gods and the abuse of their power over their subjects. For the Gods to win the Love and loyalty of their Servants they would have to Love...Excellent...

astoudingly thinking and probing, sir, it is long time since i read a piece like this. references make it a little laborious though, it does serve a great job of making those ones separated and united think that it is really painful to be so in either way. thank you sir. jaypee
