I once again share the written form of my spoken word piece published few weeks ago. This is the second and concluding part of the poem that is a tribute to my deceased birds who I absolutely, thoroughly miss. May they rest in peace.
I launch myself, with a searing, soaring passion for all domains verging on the writerly and creative with a beginner's appetite here and that's how I believe in adding meaning to each day. A lucky mascot of literature, cinema and culture, I come riding on spirited wings from the emblematic city of Lucknow where all those reside and thrive. My breeding ground and my mindscape all are committed to these three life forces. Cinema. Culture. Literature. But the biggest and all consuming parent to these is life that breeds them . There is the discovery that comes from expressing yourself, clear eyed and even mystical, when you come from a city like this. I am here to expand my worldviews, share my earliest inspirations and evolutions and go with the flow through the most accessible outlet there is : writing. Conventionally, my biography is that of a degree holder in English literature encompassing Undergraduate, Postgraduate and M Phil years and every possible experience of learning finer points of knowledge . I have already taken the plunge of creating a solid base for my works by publishing my poems and articles on the renowned worldwide community/ writing sanctuary Wattpad since 2015, a platform which is a miracle for anyone pursuing so much as a flash of wordplay and thoughts to spare. It has redefined my life and allows me to go strong. You can read my works there under the username MadMenWearingFedora / Prithvijeet. That is the springboard that catapulted me to a confident vocational revival. So here I am. Both originality and novelty are the key words to define this eternal student of life. So with the tip of the pen blessing my head and a new vigor, I welcome you all to my realm. AN AWADH BOY'S PANORAMA beckons.

BEAUTIFUL POEM, PJ! When I watched the spoken word poem video first, I didn’t know this was referring to the passing of your beloved birds. After reading this poem and watching the video again, I wept. And please know that you have my heart when it comes to “your children.” I rescued homeless dogs in Austin, Texas, and I had many dogs pass away for various reasons, some unexpected, some me making the decision to put them down. Whatever the reason, it left a hole in my heart that I grieved TREMENDOUSLY! I still do.
I remember sitting in a church one day and the pastor said that we would not see our pets in Heaven. It took all my strength inside of me to not stand up in that church at that moment and scream out to this pastor, “Where in the Bible does it say that?!?!?!” The fact is it does NOT say that in the Bible, but what it does say that in the Garden of Eden you referenced in your poem, there were animals there that God had Adam name. If God created animals and saw, “that it was good” (Genesis 1:25), and if God had Adam name the animals, I am most gratefully assured that I WILL see my departed pets in Heaven. This pastor, God bless him, is an idiot, and I am sure I am not the only one in that church that day who was devastated to hear that pastor say that. Pets are our children, whether well-meaning Christians believe that or not, and I totally adore and love my cat, Conrad, and my dog, Blue.
Once again, another connection you have made with me, PJ. I am a HUGE animal welfare advocate and I am always raising up my voice for the voiceless!

Yes, all our children will definitely be reunited with us. That’s for certain.
