&lt;em&gt;The English left, but left him....&lt;/em&gt;
Ah ah ah, you are really something! So the English left you... Ah ah ah ah ah. 

Ok, being cosmopolitan can help in life. I can tell you, because I was a little bit like that too, and it helped me a lot. But your English is surely more fluent than mine, and I am 60 and you are only 19!!! Gods .....

Guitar and violin, great choice, and both string instruments, left hand doing a very similar job, so not that difficult learning them together (well, difficult, but passion can climb mountains, we say).

Historical matters are surely important for an Emperor ;-)

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Which meetings are you referring to man? &lt;/i&gt;
I read somewhere that scholars used to meet once a month to discuss and present their literary creations to members who used to collectively critque them. I don&#039;t remember much of it now, but yeah, could have been false as well. :)

Poetry to me is an alien life form, but I will try as much as I can. :) 

&lt;i&gt;marathi, if you prefer, because mother tongue is always the best&lt;/i&gt;
LOL. I&#039;m the most non-marathi marathi person you will meet. People call me &quot;Angrez chale gaye, isko chhod gaye&quot;. [The English left, but left him]. :P

I&#039;ve been thinking of starting to learn the Guitar and the violin, but I need an instrument first... plus I have too much going on right now what with the rains and everything, but I might start soon. I have been wanting to learn the violin ever since I read Sherlock Holmes.

Thank you. :) Best of luck to you too, Imperial Advisor of Diplomatic Affairs and Historical Matters [so I don&#039;t commit the mistakes of other rulers! :P ] Man of Roma! :)</description>

If you refer to my, so to say, poem, well, I agree, it is more rhythmic prose rather than poetry :-) Thanks and ciao Maryann</description>

Which meetings are you referring to man? My brain is as flat as a billiard table at the moment, due to horrible intense heat (wish we had rainy season too now lol)... and a flat brain doesn&#039;t perceive humour, which is witty and brainy ;-)  ... 

Well, poetic skills ... I can perceive you have literary talent, I am not kidding. I am a lousy poet but after reading some &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byron&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;George Byron&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (who writes poems that look like novels and in such a fluid and natural way) I felt the urge to write some verses in English, just for fun. 

My opinion, in order to expand one&#039;s skills, is one should start reading some poetry (not only songs lyrics, even if they are better than nothing) in whatever language you like (marathi, if you prefer, because mother tongue is always the best) on whatever topic you prefer in order to start with some appreciation which then leads to natural imitation and to the feeling (and urge) for poetry. 

One gets the urge for dancing, for music etc. much in the same way. You told me you are a good dancer .... I think that every art is basically taught (and learnt) by example, while lessons on poetry or music or dance are instead only boring and do not teach much (well, sometimes they do).

What is beautiful of your age is this tremendous capability of learning, which gets less and less as age proceeds. :-)

All my best wishes to the Geek Warrior &amp; Wrestler
future Emperor of this world 
(and many other worlds)
:-)

		<description>I don&#039;t know about the poetic skills... in fact I don&#039;t understand much poetry nor have I got much stomach for it. But yes, blogging is an excellent tool for honing skills because not only does it give you a platform to express your self, it also presents you with critics that point out the goodness and the flaws thus enlarging your knowledge base. 

Didn&#039;t they have such meetings of scholars in Rome [Greece?]? Rome does live in the internet! :)</description>

Violin player, playing on a boat by night ....a very nice image. I think you have good poetic (and literary) potentials. Continue with your experiments. Btw, I liked the description of your B&#039;day on your blog. I think that blogging enhances and develops literary capabilities, among the rest. This is why I like it. In a more and more audio-visual world this is not bad.

Thanks man. I do not know the effect of a poem like this on English speaking people, but I loved to write it.</description>
