Distressed Swetha Basu takes to poetry
Young, talented and national award winning actress Swetha Basu Prasad who was recently caught in a sex scandal in Hyderabad has been admitted in a remand home and recently she was returned to her home.
When she was in rescue home Swetha used her two months very productively and she volunteered as a teacher there and taught kids Hindi, English and Hindustani classical music. Apart from that she also turned poet in the rescue home.
The shelter gave Swetha enough time to think things over and she found solace in poetry. She has even penned a short poem which beautifully describes her nightmarish experience.
Calling the poem 'The Cliff', Swetha also apparently said, "It should not seem as if I was suicidal or something. I chose to fly and rise above it all, you know."
Titled 'The Cliff', the poem runs something like this -
'Thunderstruck, all alone, I stand here at the edge of the cliff. I crawled the dense forest to get here. The tribes and wild and strays. They say 'Jump, jump from the cliff.' As I look down, naked, cold and trembling, The ferocious sea I see with its mouth open. It's ready to swallow me. The noises are unbearable the place so dark. As I decided to jump in the sea I saw the North Star. I remembered how it shone above my blessed home where singing, hugging and laughter awaited me I said, 'Wait I want to go home.' The voices murmured, 'End the journey.' 'Jump! Jump you ugly thing.' I smiled to them and pitied them, They don't know I have wings.'
Meanwhile she is busy with work of her documentary on Hindustani Music.
