PANTERA by RD Burman !?

Pantera, the name is associated mainly with an American metal band who are famous for their song "Cemetery Gates". But Pantera is also the name of an album released by RD Burman in 1987.

Now I am very new to indian composers and when I was suggested this album by my friend who is a musician himself. I felt that i have to listen to them. The music itself surprised me as it was a mix of Latin Jazz and Rhythm.

"My epitaph now and then cries,
 Loaded with larvae and mere lies.
A walk of life, a sound? His parasitic round.
Discarded footwear and fear he hides."

 - A W Manfred.


I once wrote a poem. I call it a dada poem. It is a mixture of words put together from different mediums of print and in limerick style. I did read that poems are read by the reader and interpreted in their own way, hence I do not want to reveal my own interpretation of the poem. But I would say out of the two universal states of mind. This poem hovers around "fear" and not "love". And it is mandatory for a human to understand what fear is, to fully comprehend what love is. PS: As for A W MANFRED, that would be my own pseudonym.(I thought I needed one) A W stands for "Ashwyn Warrier" and Manfred is a name which means "Peace" - In fact a very Libran name.
