Leeville, Louisiana
on Bayou LaFourche
LaFourche Parish
Some of the greatest fishing is right here.
Leeville was settled by flood victims. On October 1, 1893, a hurricane wiped out the area's main settlement, Caminadaville, which sat on a spit of land bordered on three sides by the Gulf and on the fourth by swamp. Nearly half of Caminadaville's inhabitants perished in the storm, most by drowning, some when the buildings they had taken refuge in collapsed.
Survivors sailed up the bayou in their damaged canots and began buying land from an orange-grower named Peter Lee, who was selling plots for $12.50 each. For sixteen years, they fished, planted rice, and held fais do-do dancing parties in homes with covered verandas.
Then, in 1909, the Leeville Hurricane struck. (A contemporary newspaper account described survivors of that storm subsisting on drowned rabbit.) Six years later, a third hurricane forced residents to flee north once more. According to local legend, the storm surge carried one house from Leeville nine miles inland. The owner simply bought the plot underneath it and moved back in.
In the nineteen-thirties, Leeville rebounded briefly. Oil was discovered in the area, and by the end of the decade there were ninety-eight producing wells in town. The pay was good and regulation nonexistent. Blowouts routinely rained sulfur and brine onto the houses, into the cisterns, over the trees. Tin roofs corroded and vegetable gardens shrivelled up. When the wells ran dry, oil production moved offshore and Leeville was again deserted.
There were no more jobs, and the town itself had begun to wash away. Where once men in straw hats picked oranges and harvested rice, today there is mostly open water.

Project 365 Day 127. A very foggy day at Bolsa Grande. When I had arrive at school that morning, the fog was nonexistent. By 9am, however, it had swamped the school.
Atlanta Braves baseball from 20 September 2019 (the night they clinched the division crown). The new park (opened in 2018) gets panned a little because it's usually pretty hot in Georgia and a heck of a lot of seats are in direct sun.
It's a relatively generic stadium (in the new mold of generic stadiums), but it's nice. The area outside the stadium (bars/restaurants) is actually a bit more interesting/unique than the stadium itself.
The biggest drawback is that the Atlanta Braves no longer play in Atlanta. (That and parking is almost nonexistent up there in Marietta near the stadium. We were scratching our heads looking for the actual parking lots.)
As for the game...it was a great game. First time in my life I actually got to see a division-clinching game. (They'd clinched a playoff spot a few days before.)
This Stromberg WA3-219 ("Model W") 1bbl carburetor was original equipment as a production option to the Carter BBS and Holley 1920 on 1963 (only) Dodge and Plymouth B-body (only) cars with 225 engine and automatic transmission (only). No variant of this carb was used on any other year or model. I don't know why this was done, nor does it make any sense for Chrysler to have spent what must have been an enormous sum in tooling for such a low-volume carburetor. Was there some kind of a strike at Carter and/or Holley that reduced the available volume of carburetors? It is worth noting that this carb has the largest venturi of any 1bbl used as factory equipment on a slant-6. I've tried a few of these over the years, but have never gotten one to run quite right. Kits and parts are almost nonexistent.

This photo was taken in Gerber Park on the corner of Cherry and Martin Luther King Way. On this 0.16 acre plot of land lies 4 monoliths. Each monolith houses two mosaics each and are all topped with, metal, three-sided windmills. The mosaics are colorful creations made from small colored stones and pebbles. The reds and yellows of the trees and the greens of the grass add to the vibrant color that this park expresses in the fall. The blue of the sky dominates the photo much like the real sky does on a chilly clear day. And although this picture is a good representation of the beauty of fall, not even this is perfect. The rundown building behind the tree represents the current state of much of the neighborhood. The paint chips off when the wind blows and the floor squeaks, but things tend to get better as they age, and if you look closely, you may find a few hidden gems disguised only in a thin layer of, nonexistent, paint.

This is my first attempt at HDR.
It was a sunny day so I decided to visit The British Museum. Unfortunately by the time I got there, it became cloudy and the dramatic deep blue sky I had hoped to capture with sun light streaming through the curved glass roof and casting shadows were nonexistent. :-( Instead the sky turned a whitish grey and inside the museum everything looked dull and colourless. So HDR to the rescue!
All the shots were taken handheld (who says you need a tripod) 3 bracketed exposures set at continuous firing.
After a few hours at the museum as the weather was poor I decided to visit Westminster Cathedral. I had to struggle to get there and find parking. Once inside I found out that photography wasn’t allowed during a service so I had to wait around an hour until it finished. I think I captured some good shots for HDR but unbelievably, when I got back home and started to download the photos, half way through the download the memory card got somehow got jammed and I couldn’t download the photos from the church. What a nightmare! A wasted afternoon:-( By the way, this was a new 32GB Kingston elite pro card. The shop recommended it to me as they didn’t have the Lexar in stock that I wanted. So I won’t be buyer Kingston cards again.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the photos.
As it’s my first attempt at HDR I would be grateful for your comments, criticisms etc.

Back to Hawaii stuff. Waikiki was very different from our trip last June, because the boogie-boarding scene around Kapahulu Pier was almost nonexistent. (Maybe because school was still in session.) So I stayed farther down the beach and got some shots of surfers and beach boys. Everything was less crowded in general than in June, but a lot of the surfers were from Japan -- not surprising, as it turned out that it was Golden Week, a big vacation time there.

As Allied forces began closing in on Japan by mid-1945, the Japanese found themselves in increasingly desperate straits; the kamikaze was the most visible sign of this desperation. With the American landings on Okinawa and the sinking of the Navy’s flagship Yamato, the Imperial Japanese Army realized that the Home Islands were next. Along with the Imperial Japanese Navy, they intended to unleash a horde of kamikaze attacks that would unnerve the Americans enough that some ceasefire or negotiated settlement would result. Part of this plan included the use of the Nakajima Ki-115 Tsurugi ("Sabre" or "Sword") in Japanese. The Imperial Japanese Navy named this aircraft Tōka or ("Wisteria Blossom").
By 1945, Japan was virtually out of experienced pilots and was increasingly forced to use roughly untrained men—mostly college students—who were high on patriotic fervor but short on skill. The Japanese were also running out of aircraft, many of which had already been expended in kamikaze attacks in the Philippines and Okinawa. The Ki-115 was designed solely for kamikaze missions. It was intended to be built quickly and with what little materials the Japanese had left: mostly wood and steel.
The landing gear was only used for taxiing and takeoff; it would be dropped after leaving the ground, as there would be no return trip. A universal engine mount was incorporated into the design so that the Tsurugi could use whatever engines were still available—American B-29 bombing raids had utterly devastated the Japanese aviation industry by this time. No defensive armament was included: the Tsurugi was intended solely to be flown into an enemy target, and the only weapon was a single bomb that was carried underneath the aircraft.
The Ki-115 prototype first flew in March of 1945, and Japanese test pilots were not happy with it: even as an aircraft for suicidal purposes, it was poor stuff. Visibility from the cockpit was virtually nonexistent, especially over the long nose. Even taking off was problematic. In the hands of anything aside from one of the few experienced pilots the Japanese had left, the Tsurugi would be more likely to kill its pilot long before the pilot even had the chance to kill themselves. The service understood that most of the projected 8,000 Ki-115s would never reach their targets, but even if only 10% made it, they would cause catastrophic damage to the American landing forces.
Production on the Ki-115s began with the promise that upgraded versions with better handling would be produced, but the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had ended the war before any Tsurugis were used in combat. Only 105 of these aircraft were built between May and August of 1945, but none were used operationally, and all of them fell into the hands of the Americans after the Japanese surrender. Nearly all of them were scrapped, as there was no interest in an aircraft intended for suicidal purposes and only two examples are known to survive today. In order to further improve the aircraft’s performance and reduce cost, an upgraded version, the Ki-115B, was proposed. This included replacing the all-metal wings with ones built of wood. These new wings were larger and had to be equipped with flaps. In order to provide the pilot with a better view, the cockpit was moved to the front. Since it was the end of the war, nothing ever came of this proposal.
Assuming that there is only one Ki-115 remaining, this is it, S/N 1002. It was found by American forces at the Nakajima factory at Iwate and shipped back to the United States, but it was never flown. It was stored at the Smithsonian's Silver Hill storage facility for eventual display at the Udvar Hazy National Air and Space Museum in Virginia. The NASM decided that it was unlikely that the aircraft would ever be restored or that the Smithsonian would ever have room to display it, so it was loaned to the Pima Air and Space Museum in 2012. Very little information is known about the test program or the planned deployment of these aircraft today because Nakajima had destroyed most records before American forces could intervene.
Because of the Tsurugi's wooden and light steel construction, Pima decided to not attempt to restore it for fear that it would simply fall apart; it is displayed in unrestored form. Faint hints of IJAAF markings can still be seen beside the Hinomaru national emblem: the yellow wing leading edges were a hallmark of all IJAAF aircraft. At some point during the journey from Japan to the U.S., the engine mount was severely damaged; as a result, the engine was not attached to the aircraft.
One of the curators I talked to claimed that this is the same Ki-115 that was displayed as a gate guard in front of Yokota Air Base, Japan, during the 1950s. I believe this to be true, as Pima's guidebook mentions that this Ki-115 was owned by the Smithsonian and brought back at war's end. The fate of the Ki-115 at Yokota AB remains unknown, but it is thought to be owned by a Japanese museum. Seeing one of these was a huge surprise to me because I thought none of them survived to the present day.
They introduced the starting Defense individually, but the Offense came out as a unit.

Shown: Branch displaying flower buds, flowers and foliage
"Zauschneria (Epilobium canum) is a species of willowherb, native to dry slopes and in chaparral of western North America. It is a perennial plant, notable for the profusion of bright scarlet flowers in late summer and autumn.
"The name reflects that in the past it used to be treated in a distinct genus Zauschneria, but modern studies have shown that it is best placed within the genus Epilobium. Other common names include California-fuchsia (from the resemblance of the flowers to those of Fuchsias), Hummingbird Flower, and Hummingbird Trumpet (the flowers are very attractive to hummingbirds).
"It is a subshrub growing to 60 cm tall. Native populations of these plants exhibit considerable variation in appearance and habit. The small leaves may be opposite or alternate, lance-shaped or ovate, with short to nonexistent stalks, and range in color from green to nearly white. Overall shape may be matting or mounding, the plants commonly spreading via rhizomes. The racemes of tubular or funnel-shaped flowers are terminal, and colors are mostly reddish, ranging from fuchsia to pink to red-orange." (Wikipedia)

Words cannot describe how good it felt to be shooting another show at Black Sheep after so long. It doesn't have the greatest lighting and the photo pit is nonexistent, but I just feel so at home there because that community of people is just incredible. They all support each other so much and it's amazing to be a part of that and to get to photograph it every so often. And then getting to be the guest photographer for Harm House's "Record of the Night" was absolutely awesome. Honestly, when I look back, I can't even begin to describe how thankful I am to the Black Sheep venue and community for everything they've done for me. This was my training ground when I was really getting started, and these are the people who took me in and accepted me without question and without reservation. That, and they put on some kick-ass shows =)

Cow at the left, bull in the background. A calm moment, but the annual rut had begun, and elk are very dangerous at this time of year. And of course, despite warning signs and verbal warnings from staff, people were walking right up to these critters with their point and shoot cameras. Monitoring from Parks Canada was almost nonexistent, especially this year, in the wake of massive layoffs (42 staff cut from this park alone) and widespread demoralization among staff. Someone will get hurt. It's only a matter of time. Jasper National Park, Alberta.

Steven makes a 60-mile round trip from home in Knox County to work every week day. Mileage like that can be tough on the wallet, as we all know. But the fuel prices aren’t so painful when he rides his 2012 Ninja motorcycle. Aside from being good on gas, it’s just a lot of fun. Steven and his wife, Leanna, take day trips on back roads, where the traffic is either light or nonexistent, every chance they get.
RBMN 3068 illuminates the North Side Portal of White Haven Tunnel on the southbound descent down the grade, been wanting to capture the detail in the ancient stonework with some decent light. During daytime hours light is practically nonexistent in this area so I figured why not wait for the train.
I turned 16 today. I got an iPod touch and went out to eat to my favorite Mexican restaurant. It's safe to say that I am in love with Instagram. Sorry for the nonexistent uploads. I've taken them but not uploaded them. I don't know if I will. I've been in a weird photographic mood for the past two weeks.

Originally built between 1793 and 1797 during the Second Spanish Period, this Spanish Colonial and Neoclassical-style cathedral is the fourth church to occupy a prominent position at the heart of the city of St. Augustine. The original church, built of flammable materials, stood from 1565 until 1586, when it was burned during an attack by English Privateer Sir Francis Drake. Not even a year later, the church was rebuilt of palm logs, with a straw roof, which succumbed to fire in 1599. In 1605, thanks to a tithe from Spain, a timber church was constructed, which stood until a failed English attack on the city in 1702 by James Moore, then-governor of Carolina colony. There were attempts to rebuild the church during the First Spanish Period, starting in 1707, but these went nowhere, and the money intended for the church’s reconstruction were misallocated by corrupt officials. Instead, during the remainder of the First Spanish Period, mass was held in the St. Augustine Hospital. Following the transfer of governance of Florida to the British in 1763, the need for a new Catholic church was nonexistent, as the catholic population of the colony fled to other Spanish colonies. At the start of the Second Spanish Period in 1784, the need for a new church became more apparent, and work on the current cathedral’s Coquina stone walls began in 1793. The facade of the church features Neoclassical elements around the front doorway, with the Spanish Colonial style being employed on the roofline and limited fenestration on the front facade. The church stood in its original configuration until a fire in 1887 destroyed the timber roof structure and did major damage to the interior. Following the fire, Henry Flagler led the effort to have the cathedral rebuilt, with James Renwick, Jr. designing an expansion of the old building, giving it a rectangular cruciform layout, and adding the Spanish Renaissance-style bell tower and European-style transept to the building. The interior was rebuilt to feature exposed decorative timbers that supported the roof structure, and a decorative polychromatic tile floor. The building has since received a few more additions, which house a chapel, service areas, and offices, as well as a building to the rear of the cathedral along Treasury Street, built in the Mediterranean Revival style, which houses the offices of the Diocese of St. Augustine. Today, the cathedral remains a prominent landmark in the city, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and listed as a National Historic Landmark as part of the St. Augustine Town Plan Historic District in 1970.

This is part of my "LIST" from 2019 of where we went. On my "LIST" for today is to watch my daughter/Deanna's wedding. If you would like to watch it here is what to do....
Deanna Csomo McCool and Scott Ferrell....It will take place in Las Vegas at 5 p.m. Pacific time on Tuesday, June 29. This is 7 p.m. Central and 8 p.m. Eastern.
Below is the link to view the service live (or watch/re-watch later). I've provided a few instructions here that you should read, because the process to watch this live isn't flawless. Reading these tips can help you avoid frustration.
www.littlechapel.com/our-wedding/1255373
1. When you go to the link, please sign our guest book! Thank you.
2. Sometimes weddings are up to 15 minutes late, so don't panic when the video rectangle screen is dark or even nonexistent (if you tuned in too early or even right on time).
3. You'll often get a big ad, usually for a Google product, when you go to the site. Just click "close." It's just an ad but it can look urgent.
4. Click the "play" triangle on the black video rectangle to start viewing the live ceremony. It will probably say "This content is currently not available" inside the video screen. This is normal.
5. In my experience, just waiting for that "content not available" message to go away and for the ceremony to be visible may not work. I've found that you'll have to keep refreshing the page or even copying and pasting in another tab if it doesn't show the ceremony. I don't know why, but I've watched enough to know this is how it can work. So refresh, refresh.
6. If the link doesn't eventually work on one device, it's usually the device. Try another computer, another tablet, or your phone. The wedding lasts only about 12-13 minutes so you'll need to grab another device quickly.
7. If all else fails, the video recording of the wedding will be posted 2-3 hours later, and will remain up for two weeks, so you can always watch it then. Just go to the same link I shared above.
I'm looking forward to you being our virtual guests. Elvis will be singing.
Feel free to share this information with anyone who might like to watch." .... ~

To fit a pedal sensor, I tapped the boss for the nonexistent chain case to mount the pedal sensor, and stripped all the magnets out of the usual plastic spinner to mount them discreetly to the back side of the chainring. I did have to notch the top plate of the kickstand mount to clear it all, but that was not the only time I went to a lot of unnecessary effort.

In 1605, thanks to a tithe from Spain, a timber church was constructed, which stood until a failed English attack on the city in 1702 by James Moore, then-governor of Carolina colony. There were attempts to rebuild the church during the First Spanish Period, starting in 1707, but these went nowhere, and the money intended for the church’s reconstruction were misallocated by corrupt officials. Instead, during the remainder of the First Spanish Period, mass was held in the St. Augustine Hospital. Following the transfer of governance of Florida to the British in 1763, the need for a new Catholic church was nonexistent, as the catholic population of the colony fled to other Spanish colonies. At the start of the Second Spanish Period in 1784, the need for a new church became more apparent, and work on the current cathedral’s Coquina stone walls began in 1793. The facade of the church features Neoclassical elements around the front doorway, with the Spanish Colonial style being employed on the roofline and limited fenestration on the front facade. The church stood in its original configuration until a fire in 1887 destroyed the timber roof structure and did major damage to the interior. Following the fire, Henry Flagler led the effort to have the cathedral rebuilt, with James Renwick, Jr. designing an expansion of the old building, giving it a rectangular cruciform layout, and adding the Spanish Renaissance-style bell tower and European-style transept to the building. The interior was rebuilt to feature exposed decorative timbers that supported the roof structure, and a decorative polychromatic tile floor. The building has since received a few more additions, which house a chapel, service areas, and offices, as well as a building to the rear of the cathedral along Treasury Street, built in the Mediterranean Revival style, which houses the offices of the Diocese of St. Augustine. Today, the cathedral remains a prominent landmark in the city, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and listed as a National Historic Landmark as part of the St. Augustine Town Plan Historic District in 1970.
Mendon Ponds Park is owned and very poorly maintained by the County of Monroe, NY.
Unfortunately, this extraordinary property is rapidly deteriorating due to an egregious lack of care. Trails are not cleared of debris... signs are useless. Park maintenance is essentially nonexistent. They do have a marketing department. Seriously, the taxpayers are paying the salaries of a county parks marketing department.

I took this on the morning we left for Dzongsar. It's the view across the valley from our room in Palpung monastery. There had been some doubt as to whether our horses for the journey would actually turn up. Communication with the monastery caretaker was difficult owing to his rudimentary and heavily-accented Chinese and our virtually nonexistent Tibetan. Around dawn though we heard the tinkle of their bells outside our window and all was well.

'WHY DO THEY ASK THE SAME QUESTIONS?'
Gunturu Seshendra Sarma, the renowned poet gave a big jolt to the modern Telugu literary world in the seventies. A multifaceted personality a prolific writer, critic, thinker Sarma has unfurled the flag of Telugu literature in far - off countries like Greece. His peer Somasundar called him the morning star of the 21st century.
Known for his knowledge of classical Indian literature, Sarma has shown unparalleled intellectual ability
in studying and interpreting Valmiki Ramayana.
Now I'm 64. Over the years a number of people have interviewed me. Almost in all these encounters the questions were more or less identical. Obviously the answers also. Instead of asking a poet or a writer about his works, it'd be appropriate to evaluate his work from different angles and assess his contribution. This will help the field of literature as well as the society at large".
Looking back, Sarma says that during his student days he was interested in politics, history and science. "The modern philosophical trends of the West stirred my interest. After studying science in graduation, I did law. In those days, appadorai's book on politics was of great interest. H.G. Wells' writings drew me to history on which I wrote some essays. Later, I scribbled some essays on the basic elements of society, the man woman relationship, etc. In 1961, I wrote about science in Andhra Pradesh. These essays later were published as NaruduNakshatraalu".
Asked why he doesn't write about the present state of affairs, he says, "If I touch these subjects, I've to refer to individuals. Besides, I've to comment on what we find in newspapers. I'm not equipped to do this. I don't think it's an edifying activity.
As the discussion inched towards literature, Sarma dispelled the feeling that there're no intellectuals among Telugu poets. "I don’t agree that we find intellectuals only among prose writers. Even some poets are intellectuals. Poetry is essentially an intellectual exercise.
Why is Kavisena, which was started by you with great pomp and enthusiasm, defunct now? "It's an interesting question. First of all I've to âı¿+O„^Œ 225 clarify one thing. I didn't start Kavisena. The young poets of Andhra Pradesh, particularly some belonging to Anantapur, Narasaraopet, Hyderabad, Vizag and Warangal, used to correspond with me regularly in the early seventies. They dealt with various aspects of literature, particularly poetry. And, inadvertently, I became the young poets' coordinator.... When I was in Ooty I received a letter asking me to go over to Nagarjunasagar urgently. Unable to discourage them, I landed in Nagarjunasagar where young poets with progressive outlook had gathered. They were disappointed that non - poetry was gaining circulation in the name of progressive literature. They felt that the cause of progressive thought can be served better by promoting poetry which had poetic excellence. I agreed with them.... They started kavisena, in my presence, to produce good poetry. With a lot of effort I wrote a manifesto for Kavisena...As years passed by, these young poets had to take up some job or the other and settle down in life. Thus Kavisena became crippled".
Like many of the poets of his generation Sarma was initially a metrical poet. But, later, he took to free verse. Why? "Every poet has to yield to the pressures of his time. Poetry has to be necessarily written in the contemporary language. This is my conviction. It's an artistic necessity but not an opportunistic adoption".
Sarma is content with the recognition he got from the people for his contribution to literature. "Awards aren't necessarily the barometers. For, they are the products of contemporary socio-political milieu.
A lot of confusion is being created in the name of modernity and abstract ideas. And the people are forced to accept them lest they be branded ignorant. Poetry is the manifestation of abstract things into metaphors symbols and figures of speech....So, to appreciate poetry, you've to deliberately cultivate the required taste....But, under the guise of poetry, some poets write ambiguous poetry which doesn't convey anything. In such cases, the complaint is properly based. Otherwise it reflects our own deficiency.
As a responsible writer did you meet the demands of the society?
"As a full - fledged human being I truthfully react to my surroundings and honestly express myself unmindful of the consequences. Reacting to an occurrence is in itself an emotional and volcanic eruption. For, it has the desired impact on the social plane. In this sense, I've fulfilled my obligation to mankind".

Rivers and poets
Are veins and arteries
Of a country.
Rivers flow like poems
For animals, for birds
And for human beings-
The dreams that rivers dream
Bear fruit in the fields
The dreams that poets dream
Bear fruit in the people-

The sunshine of my thought fell on the word
And its long shadow fell upon the century
Sun was playing with the early morning flowers
Time was frightened at the sight of the martyr-

"We are children of a century which has seen revolutions, awakenment of large masses of people over the earth and their emancipation from slavery and colonialism wresting equality from the hands of brute forces and forging links of brotherhood across mankind.
This century has seen peaks of human knowledge; unprecedented intercourse of peoples and
perhaps for the first time saw the world stand on the brink of the dilemma of one world or destruction.
It is a very inspiring century, its achievements are unique.
A poet who is not conscious of this context fails in his existence as poet."
-Seshendra Sharma

Seshendra Sharma : Scholar - Poet
Seshendra Sharma, a scholar - poet was born (October 20, 1927) into a Pujari ( Priests ) family in Nellore District in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India . Seshendra’s father and his grandfather were well versed in Sanskrit Literature, Vedas and scriptures. At home itself, thus from his childhood , Seshendra got the opportunity of learning and training in Sanskrit. This was further nurtured by the Village school of Thotapalligudur, where he spent best part of his childhood.
Seshendra’s father was a well-to-do person, a Munsif ( village officer ) of the village, possessing more than Ten Acres of agricultural Wet land and own house . Father’s desire to see his son flower into a top man turned a new leaf in Seshendra’s life. Seshendra’s father admitted him for B.A. Graduation course in Andhra Christian College in Guntur. Incidentally, Seshendra’s Family Sir Name and this town’s name are one and the same. This is a turning point in the budding poet’s journey. Seshendra got significant exposure to the Western World, particularly to the Western Literature. The makings of a Visionary Poet germinated in him in this Alma Mater. His journey of poetry started with Translation of Mathew Arnold’s “Sohrab and Rustum “ , a long poem , which Seshendra translated into Telugu in Metrical poetry with accomplished finesse . This trend eventually blossomed and Seshendra emerged as an Epic – Poet. His My Country – My People : Modern Indian Epic is observed by learned critics as a land mark in modern poetry ranking it on par with T.S. Eliot’s Waste Land . This long poem was nominated for Nobel Prize in 2004. His subsequent works Gorilla, Turned into water and fled away, Ocean is my name – long poems were reviewed in scholarly strain.
Seshendra’s desire to perform in films took him to Madras, today’s Chennai in Tamil Nadu. In Madras he formally joined B.L. Course with Madras Law College. And was developing contacts in the Telugu Cinema Circles and was working as a freelance journalist. He used to translate articles into Telugu for Janavani , a popular weekly of those times whose editor was Tapi Dharma Rao , a towering personality of Telugu Literature. This facet of journalism of his personality rose to its full heights in 90s. When Soviet Union collapsed he wrote a series of articles in Telugu as well as in English decrying the west’s sinister plot, villainous machinations to pull down Communist Regimes. He sang odes / Laurels to communism and expressed in aggressive tone and style that communism will never die. It remains in the genes of oppressed peoples of the world for ever. Perhaps Seshendra is the only poet from the Indian Subcontinent to pen Anti – Imperialist essays during those times. He completed his Law course but his desire to act in films remained unfulfilled. Seshendra’s Classmates at his Alma Mater, A.C.College, Guntur, N.T.Rama Rao and Kongara Jaggaiah became popular actors of Telugu Cinema. N.T.R became an all time super –hero. Seshendra’s father and maternal uncle forcibly brought him back from Madras, and with the good offices of native Member of Parliament put him in Government service as Deputy Panchayat Officer. In due course of time, on deputation, joined Municipal Administration Department and worked as Municipal Commissioner in all Major cities and towns of Andhra Pradesh. With the result he got wide exposure to conditions of social life of his times. He obtained personal acquaintance of Common Man’s life and his travails. This enriched his vision of life and literature a great deal.
With Seshendra Poetry and Poetics are Siamese Twins. He penned works of Literary Criticism both on classical and contemporary poetry. Sahitya Kaumudi (Telugu ) and his bi-lingual book “ the ARC of Blood : My Note Book “ illustrate this point. His Research work on Valmiki’s Ramayana , Shodasi : Secrets of The Ramayana , questions the very foundations of centuries old assumptions. Seshendra, based on scientific research citing from the original text of Valmiki and Vedas, reveals that The Ramayana is not just story of Rama told in enchanting poetry , But the Sage wrote the epic to spread Kundalini Yoga among the masses of his era. His observations that the concepts of Vishnu and Reincarnation were non –existent during Valmiki’s Epoch constitute a revolt against centuries old beliefs. Sita is the central character of The Ramayana and she is Kundalini Shakti / Adi Para Shakthi . During that era temples and prayers were nonexistent. This hits directly at the very foundation of Temple System.
His Kavisena Manifesto , is a noteworthy work on Modern Poetics. In this work, he compiles cogently definitions of poetry cutting across centuries and countries and writes scintillating commentary. This Manifesto of Modern Poetry is a sort of Wikipedia page of world poetry. Seshendra, finally concludes that poetry is emotions and feelings skilfully garbed in unusual diction, and poetry is a way of life.
Discerning scholars critics and academics are of intrinsic opinion that T.S.Eliot ,Archibald MacLeish and Seshendra Sharma are trinity of world poetry and Poetics.
But this Scholar – poet of 20th century is an unsung and unwept genius of his times.
Prime Minister of India honoured Seshendra with Gold Medal in Sahitya Akademi ( India ) Golden Jubilee celebrations and Chief Minister of AP honoured him with Hansa Literary Award on the eve of UGADI , Telugu New Year Day in 2005 .
In one of his poems he says fragrance of stars is calling me. Seshendra left this world and vanished into fragrance of galaxies on May 30, 2007.
