The Love Song of K. Anand Kak

<p>Unabashedly romantic the poem manages to capture so much of infatuation without ever veering into the maudlin maintaining a certain ironic self-awareness. Will-they-won&rsquo;t- they aspect of the romance provides a suspenseful counterpoint to the serious political content. The story structure which through various foreshadowing elements keeps us guessing whether the narrator will achieve his goal does a really good job of keeping the suspense up as we move through the various political and philosophical themes and tonal variations.</p><p></p>
