An inseparable connection

 While 

The small birds chirp sweet songs

I'm reminded 

Of those sweet words which whispered me to sleep

While 

The scented flowers bloom overnight

I'm reminded 

Of the jasmine flowers adorned on my mother's hair

While 

The looming green mountains with patches of brown pass during road trips 

I'm reminded

Of the one mountain I woke up to and slept,

While 

The cold water runs down my sweaty back

I'm reminded 

Of those nights my father came back from work all exhausted and sweaty

I'm reminded of those sacrifices made for a family! 

- Bharathi Senthilkumar


I think this poem is quite personal regarding the specific details I've highlighted. Although it is one of those sensitive topics many people keep with themselves, I couldn't hold on the overwhelming gratitude that fills me each time I think of my family members!

Art vs AI

With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, many artists and creative professionals are growing concerned. Just as the Industrial Revolution automated manual labor, AI now seems to be taking over intellectual and artistic work. From writing and research to art and learning, it’s quite agonizing to watch AI make even our minds complacent. Sure, AI offers the benefits of speed and efficiency. But if we start accepting vague reproductions of a lifetime’s work, it raises serious concerns about how we express perspectives. The key difference between human-made and AI-generated art lies in emotion . Every word, brushstroke, and musical note carries the weight of personal experience, cultural shifts, and societal narratives. Art isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about storytelling, struggle, and human connection. AI can be a useful tool, but it shouldn’t replace human artistry. It lacks the ability to feel, dream, or rebel —qualities that define great art. Instead of letting AI...

Apathy's Anchor

 A lone tree  claimed  the land,    Lost in its own silence .  It  held fast , though winds did roar,  And birds sang,  unheard .  Fixed in its gaze , The cows moved, the clouds drifted.  For how could a rock ever truly smile?  Or a desert ever truly weep? - Bharathi Senthilkumar

Book Review – Democrazy

I recently read Democrazy during a long train journey from my hometown to Chennai, and it was quite an engaging experience. The book offers a satirical take on democracy, exploring why ordinary citizens often feel they can question the system but find it difficult to bring about meaningful change. While referencing the famous phrase “for the people, by the people”, it examines how the idea sometimes appears complicated in practice, despite being outlined in one of the longest constitutions in the world. The author uses humor and sharp observation to present scenarios that oscillate between amusing and thought-provoking. The narrative describes different forms of challenges faced by citizens—such as bribery, exploitation, and bureaucratic hurdles—through a cast of fictional characters: a head of government, an ambitious family member, a veteran party member, an influential industrialist, a sincere journalist, a socially active citizen (particularly on social media), a strict school prin...
