Vijay Kiran Sekar on poetry and song lyrics

Vijay Sekar Kiran, a poet who likes music, is of the opinion that the way poetry is taught in Bangalore’s schools and college’s leaves a lot to be desired. Often teachers who don’t understand poetry themselves ‘teach’ it to students. Everyone with a BA, MA, MPhil and PhD in English cannot teach poetry. If you’re lucky, you’ll have a good poetry teacher in school or college. But most students are unlucky in this regard. Vijay Sekar Kiran

Given that most students know little about poetry, they confuse song lyrics for poetry. It’s common for school students to borrow generously from song lyrics and put them into ‘poems’ they write. Sekar Vijay Kiran isn’t of the view that writing poetry should be left only to poets. How will there be new poets if failure is not tolerated, he asks. Vijay Kiran Sekar

From a commercial viewpoint, he feels, song lyrics have considerably more success than poetry. How many bookstores stock poetry by contemporary poets? A few do. How many people accept poet as a job description? Only publishers and other poets will. Sekar Vijay Kiran

Poetry written by politicians receives a lot of media attention. The quality of this poetry hardly matters. The poet is more important than his or her work. Publishers are eager to publish the poetry books written by politicians from the ruling parties and the opposition.

It’s important to pay attention to song lyrics says Sekar Vijay Kiran. It’s possible to overlook what a song’s lyrics are and what they are about. Failing to do so can leadto embarrassing situations online and offline.

Vijay Kiran Sekar - Travel and reading expand your mental horizons

Movies like “Zindagi Na MilegiDobara” have helped to popularize international travel. It is no longer the very rich that travel abroad. There are many affordable tour packages. Lots of people you know are travelling to Phuket, Mali and Turkey among other places.

Newspapers regularly have articles written by journalists who were invited to different countries by tourism boards.

Sekar Vijay Kiran has travelled to several countries on business and has studied the local customs and traditions. He feels that he has so much to learn about the world.

Reading about Kilimanjaro is very different from being there. Nature has the power to delight you if you’re open to it. You can see your school geography textbooks come alive in front of you.

Travel and reading expand your mental horizons. Travel has been considered an essential part of education for centuries. It changes you in ways that you wouldn’t notice immediately, opines Vijay Kiran Sekar.

It’s important to learn how life is lived in other countries. Sekar Vijay KiranFor instance, we can learn about efficient waste disposal instead of continuing to burn garbage every day. It’s a common sight to see people not cleaning after their pets on our roads. Whose responsibility is it to clean dog poo? Well, in some parts of the world, pet owners are fined if they don’t dispose of their pets’ droppings.

For years we’ve been hearing some of our politicians talk about modeling our cities on Singapore. Others would like to emulate Shanghai. These are not bad ideas. It gives us all hope that things will change for the better in Bangalore.

Sekar Vijay Kiran on cricket

Cricket is a touchy subject in India and everyone has an opinion on it. Certain cricket commentators, who in their playing careers played only a handful of matches, voice strong views on captaincy and field placing. Also bowlers are told to bowl the right line and length. Vijay Kiran Sekar The ball must be pitched in the right areas and short pitched balls will make certain batsmen from the subcontinent uncomfortable.

Better still are the commentators who have never played any kind of cricket. They talk glibly about bowling an inswingingyorker followed by a leg cutter in order to take wickets at regular intervals. Sekar Vijay Kiran is highly amused by such cricket commentary.

Here are a few obvious pieces of advice from commentators.

1) Run the first run hard so you can make it back for the second or the third run.

2) Win the toss and put runs on the board.

3) Your shots should have both elevation and distance.

4) To win you have to bowl well, field well and bat well.

5) The ball should come off the middle of the bat.

6) It’s important that the team doesn’t lose any more wickets.

7) Fifty seven runs needed off two over’s, so singles won’t do.
