I am D Sam and I do what I do

Poetry survives because it haunts and it haunts because it is simultaneously utterly clear and deeply mysterious,because it cannot be entirely accounted for, it cannot be exhausted, says Louise Gluck.

Mine is a poetic prose;words came to me from different sources and they just fitted into my story,-the life story.

.I am D Sam:I do what I do.I am what I am.By birth I am Tamil.And by sheer açcident my nationality is Indian,as my birth place and residence happen to be a part of India..But I consider myself as a world citizen.All countrymen are my relatives and I belong to the entire world.I can't escape from it.This is because the compassion for humanity is built into my system in a natural and normal way.

Who am I is a complex and difficult question.There is a poet, child, student, teacher and rebel in me.I am an argumentative Tamilian proud of my roots, and tradition.My ancestors and the language they have spoken have a rich legacy.I can't identify with the religion of Hinduism as Iam above religion.I do not invoke my caste name although I cannot escape from it..That can't be my identity.It was just a symbol, never misused by my father...

Iam spiritual and strictly not religious.I am sensible enough to understand that Iam not just the body, but inner consciousness...I am the soul and I do represent that self.I must be myself..I do not want to immitate or replicate someone..what I say or do is not to please others but to make life more meaningful and accountable.

What I prefer to eat what dress I want to wear,whom should I date and marry and how must I lead my life ,... the list is long and endless, it's my prerogative and my will.

Do not put your concept of religion, your awkward behaviour, your sense of hatred and your way of arrogant life on me.Let me lead my life with the sense of humour and compassion at heart.

I have been ordained by the destiny for a purpose.without grumbling and complaining let me do my work and negotiate all the vicious curves and  bends on the road of life..you don't have any right to confine me into the narrow walls of nationalism and destructive communalism.
