I harbour an insanely mad passion for reading, writing, and language. I am an amateur poet, an Indian currently busy occupying space and time and other dimensions in Shanghai, and I'm very pleased to meet your acquaintance.

If you need anything, or if you just want to talk, feel free to note me! :note:

I haven't replied to you yet because
- I reply at a glacial pace
- I accidentally deleted your message and can't find it
- I've awkwardly, silently backed away
- I've already replied to you by somewhere else
- I mentally replied to you and considered the matter closed
- I love you and I don't want to lower your opinion of me any further

Send a haiku to Mars!

Journal Entry: Thu May 2, 2013, 4:59 AM

Just an FYI, because, guys, this is the coolest thing. You can participate in a contest and possibly have your haiku sent to Mars.
Look (taken directly from the site):

Who can submit a name and where will it go?
Anybody on planet Earth is welcome to participate! However, to create a log-in you must be 18 or older. If you are under 18 and you would like to enter, please ask your parent or teacher for help. Your name will be written to a DVD and sent into Mars orbit on the MAVEN spacecraft.

What is the Message to Mars contest?
Craft your own original message to Mars! Messages, which must be in the form of a haiku poem, will be voted on by the public; the top three most popular entries will be sent to Mars onboard the MAVEN spacecraft and will be prominently displayed on the MAVEN website.

Messages must be in English.

How do I submit my name and message?
You must be logged in to submit your name and message.



The time line is like this:

May 1: Activity opens.
July 1: Activity closes.
July 15: Public voting begins on messages.
July 29: Public voting ends on messages.
August 8: Message contest winner announced!


OK, what are the odds, and whatnot, and yes, the public could be anyone, they'll just vote whatever they like in, etc., etc. - but it'll be fun, either way, and you have a chance! Haikus! And space! And all you cool people. It's space and haiku. It's the best thing ever, go for it. :eager:

:iconcheerplz:

(Or regret it. Forever. :noes:)

Also, this was a thing (space related thing) that happened. Surface of Mars, y'all, courtesy of Curiosity. :iconteheplz:


(I'm not kidding, that's real.)

Greetings, m'dear! I know you're SUPER BUSY right now (who isn't, right?), but I'd love it if, when you have a spare moment, you could take a look at a combo ghazal/haiku I wrote. Since you did such a wonderful job with the form, I'd really appreciate your feedback on my own attempt: [link]

Hope you're doing well ;)

I just have to say thank you for all the opportunities you have given me lately. Not only does it make me feel loved and validated, but finally hopeful that I might just have a chance at using my writing to create art with which I can make my living, one day. You are a wonderfully kind person, and I'm immensely grateful for everything you have done for me. You and others like you are the people that make DA such an extraordinary community to be involved with. Again, thank you so, so much. :heart: :heart: :heart: :glomp: :heart: :heart: :heart:

Hey, m'dear! I'm putting together my feature for this Friday and the theme is INDIA. And I thought: who do I know on dA who knows India? And the obvious first person is YOU.

Is there any wonderful India-themed art you've seen around the site that you think I should include? I'm particularly in trouble when it comes to lit...

This is what I've got so far. Let me know if you have any thoughts or suggestions!

PS. I'm dreadfully sorry. I know you're BUSYBUSYBUSY but it doesn't go up for a few days. And you don't have to make any suggestions, but I'd love it if you'd give me your opinion of the draft feature.
