Poetry On Screen
Poetry.com is this online portal where wannabe poets make you chortle with word-puke. In fact, if I re-arranged that last sentence with inappropriate punctuation, I just might have a crappy poem to my name.
Poetry.com is,
this online,
portal,
Where wannabe poets,
make you,
chortle,
With, Word-
Puke.
See, quite easy. In fact, so easy that Kamalinee Mukherjee gave it a shot. Kama-whama-who-ji, you ask? That would be Kamal-Hassan’s latest kissing partner in the upcoming Vettiayaadu Velaiyaadu, and the heroine of sleeper hit Telugu movie, Anand.
Tell us about your poems?
I wrote three poems (Thoughts, Confusion and Solitude) for a website called poetry.com before signing Anand film. [Link]
Go ahead, call us insensitive jerks. Tell us how refreshing it is to discover there are actresses who can actually write “quagmire of despondency”. Point taken, but why poetry? Why not just a 500-word essay about the “quagmire of despondency” the film industry has plunged into? Or Sun Music compering? Or Poetry.com?
But why? Yendhukku?
lying in fields of yellow poppies….
intoxicated by the realisation of you…
its in the very core of me…..
a primivial longing in my heartbeats….
but like the mirage in burning deserts….
All of her “poetry”
PS: We are not sure if this Zinta is the Zinta, but if someone could comfirm, we’ll feel better knowing we didn’t laugh at an impostor.

Here’s a Kamalinee picture – the reason you clicked on this post. |











There’s a good chance that that’s the genuine Zinta.. read somewhere that she was deeply affected by the Tsunami when she was vacationing in Thailand, and the poem seems to be on this topic.
I guess the shortage of lyricst is gone..now may i suggest Harrish Jeyaraj,Yuvan & other such folks to make use of the immense talent available……
Immense talent, alright.
