Happiness??!!

 Days fly through imagining their faces

And my imagination blooms into gardens, waiting for their conversations

Their house reminds me of distant memories

A relation I knew existed but never felt until that night


Hearing profound stories and  wondering if they were real

Making up scenarios just to know if they still remember us


Flying across the world imagining I would make them proud

Winning prizes imagining they would congratulate


That night proved it all, 

Maybe the stories were true, 

Maybe my mom was correct on their attitude and understanding


But really what I saw that moment

Was the love I was looking for

Soaring across every corner in my heart were the waves of satisfaction

Finding my tribe in this chaos created by time proved that hope still exists in the deepest of sorrows 

The mistakes that remained unforgiven 

Remained buried deep 

After all I'm still small enough to find happiness in humans !

- Bharathi Senthilkumar

This poem is on quite a personal note! It just happened all in one night, so putting it in a few paragraphs may not do full justice but how else can a poetess share her feelings!!

Hope I've made you feel those waves !!

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...
