Editorial Note

One language sets you in a corridor  for life. Two languages open every door along the way.'

                           ............Frank Smith

Language is the river where the lily of words blooms. There are numerous rivers in the world and so also languages. In today's world, one cannot restrict himself in his mother's tongue only. One needs to explore the vast horizon of language by becoming  international. A poet or a writer may be located in Siberia or in a remote pacific island and writing in his own language. But his poetic thought may be shared universally through a common language only which is international. English is the universal language that knocks on the door of all. Most of world literatures are either written or translated in English.

So a  poet can exchange or interact with world only if he transforms his creation in English.

With this end in view, we have taken up this issue exclusively in English to showcase the thoughts of poets of different languages in this universal language to reach globally. Hope our readers will appreciate our humble attempt.
