KIREET KOKALA Illic tantillus diligo obvius, universitas etiamnunc illic est adeo... I'm a computer science MS student and a person of many talents (I like to think). Being an open and expressive individual, poetry is just one of the many ways through which I express myself. Lets see, I do other things to keep busy: study, workout, TKD, sing (in the shower, ahem), listen to music, PC games, help others, etc. etc. I've been writing in different languages (Hindi, Telugu, Urdu) so it'll take me a while to translate all of my works to English. David Quammen once said that "Poetry almost by definition is the wisdom of the epic done in miniature." And, it is only natural for me to thank you all in advance for reviewing my work (most of which is non-fiction, well, it's the product of my life and factors affecting it, unless stated otherwise): I yearn to give different and thought-inducing perspective on matters, which I both respect and explore. FYI: started writing freelance and without collegiate bounds whilst a sophomore at UGA (2003); currently I'm an IT professional and will wrap up my MS in 2008 after which I'll dive head first into short stories. November 16th, 2004: I've started posting some of my translated poetry...read along for impt. info! Grammer rules in Hindi, Urdu, & Telugu follow different rules than English, thus the translated poems might seem incorrect, for they sometimes lose heat and cultural perspective when translated. However, I'm no expert and should you find any mistakes in the language itself or the translated counterparts, please write a review, and I'll post the correction(s) giving you credit, of course.
