Loopy Chaos (Debut Poetry book)

Cover page of the book launched on Amazon :) What happens when a generation raised on infinite scroll tries to find finite meaning? Loopy Chaos  isn't some great Shakespeare stuff.  No flowery verses about sunsets . This is what gets written at 2 AM when the  algorithm won't let you sleep.  When your feed is full of outrage but your polling booth stays empty. When you're told you're the future but can't afford the present. Inside these pages: I’ve written about society, nature, hypocrisy, money, language, identity, delusion, elections — and yes, even a confused hippo without the use of controversial language. And a father's wisdom that actually makes sense. Some of it will make you laugh. Some will make you uncomfortable. Most will make you think "wait, did I just get called out?" This is poetry for people who don't read poetry. Written in frustration during the doom-scroll spiral. Inspired from philosophers. Just honest chaos from someone who refu...

Thoughts in the countryside

Pleading & leading my bunch of cases, I like to play and lay more chips, Before I tie my lazy laces And delete all packages n pips. Paper and paper all around, Proofs on roofs and we don't care, Guilties keep on being surround A common bond that you'll share. Courts and coats What's the difference? Brainrot? Eat oats No flourescence.

Sky roots

Sky roots  Shanmukha Trinkets twinkle, while anklets ain’t jingling, No dancing ladies no orchestra deities. Stars are asleep though fusion is fusing Lights far away once reached tons and tons Glitter without glitter, because grass was green. Now they say “Grass is so brass.” Brass is in it’s own race with Au,  Though there’s no glitter for you. Some say “What are watts?” Wards like me know only watts We say “Something is phishy” Well something is definitely fussy. Where was that glow? Even if it returns Sadly I’d still be low. Because I never knew that churn. Hulk and Milk has a thing in common Both of them are just not summoned. Or should I say just not anymore? Do we have a dying door Or a lying lore? Or don’t bore, and make it soar.  Oh hey you know why a wild boar Landed on the street with its feet? Lights are there but in reality We’ve lost the mighty. Sky tsars now black scars Something is now nothing Dark matter, bright banter The round bread is the now lone king....

Karate Latte

Tsar, I’ve got the bucks  Give me a latte. Even though it sucks, I sip for karate. Lotta caffeine, Tastes like Bassein  Neat and clean, No money? Mean machine

Poetic confusion

Scrap this scrap that, Oh why is this so crap? So cringy, so weird just looking like a mad cat, Seems like Eminem's forgetten draft of rap Who's God, Who's me though by the way? By the bay, who's there hey! Gay clouds sound hound, I have no thoughts oh bots, Mind is a lot of bot, Oh bot please clot. Oh you won't? Ok I shut up, Just lit the hit up, I'm having a hiccup, Ha chee, long time no see. You're here? Pay the fee.

Behind the scenes of Every Poem

Some say write right, I eye ice's eyes, Tie a tie, oh hi phi, You're your iron ion, We always Vi, T makes Tea, Word is my bard,  Brain is the bird, Bird bard, oh what is this shit, Just say "What the hell?" And it's over. Utter. Non. Sense.

A Note to Curious Herald Readers

04.10.2025 Hello Everybody, Following my recent update on Pradhyumna Nittala (my personal blog), I wanted to formally welcome you to Curious Herald , which is now evolving into a space for both new thought-provoking stories and in-depth poems . This blog is becoming a home for creativity that blends intellect and emotion—stories that challenge, reflections that provoke, and poems that arise naturally from deep thinking. Poems, for me, are not just written—they emerge when I’m in that state of intense thought, almost like a natural art form. That’s why you’ll see Curious Herald’s creativity return gradually , but the frequency may not always be consistent just like the YouTube channel. Life is pulling me toward other priorities (as I mentioned here ), and these projects demand focus and time. This space is meant to capture both the spark of new thoughts and the quiet intensity of introspection. I hope you’ll enjoy exploring it with me, one story, one poem, and one thought at a time. Re...

The Obediant Ghost

A while ago, there lived an obedient kid, who was so much obedient that all the parents in the neighborhood used to compare their kid with him. Yes, he was the typical Sharmaji's son, but in terms of manners and social order. But the school peon took advantage of his behavior and sometimes even blackmailed him.  One fine day, the peon once again wanted to bully the kid. He ordered the kid to throw his own watch inside the well to which the student couldn't deny due to the fear of being bullied. Hence, he threw it inside the well. And now, the evil peon threatened him to get inside the well to get the watch with the condition that he'll complain his parents that he threw his own watch. The kid did jump into the well, but unfortunately, it marked his end. The peon then closed the well, thinking that he was still searching his watch with no knowledge of the accident.  The next day, the parents complained the principal for the missing of the child and hence a search operation w...

Who's in the Park? - Manas & Tejas

  Manas, Tejas, and Bruzo: The Day They Faced the Witch at the Park Manas and Tejas — best friends with a perfect balance of qualities. Tejas, strong and fearless, always ready to confront challenges head-on. Manas, sharp and strategic, who believed brains and calm thinking win the day. Alongside them was Bruzo, their clever and loyal dog, always by their side. One bright morning, the trio decided to take a break from their forest home and visit the city’s famous play park. They set off on their trusty tractor, full of excitement. After swapping the tractor for a sleek car at a nearby showroom, they arrived at the park and spent hours enjoying the rides and playing games. Laughter filled the air, and Bruzo chased after butterflies with unbounded energy. But the joy was short-lived. Among the crowd was a mysterious figure — a witch disguised as a small boy. Her true plan was sinister: to harm the innocent visitors and feast on their life force. Suddenly, the witch shed her dis...

Intellect or Strength?

There lived two boys — X and Y. They had been natural friends since childhood, relying on each other's support due to their vastly different yet complementary qualities. X possessed a fit, wrestler-like physique, always believing that physical strength was the greatest asset. On the other hand, Y was a mentally intelligent chap who firmly supported the supremacy of intellect. Their frequent debates always revolved around one question — Which is better: strength or intellect? One day, Y devised a clever plan to prove his point and outsmart X. He invited X to his home for a sugarcane juice party, promising to arrange the refreshments himself. X, thrilled by the invitation, reached Y's home early, eagerly waiting for the treat. Meanwhile, Y went to the market and ordered two glasses of sugarcane juice for takeaway. When he returned, he greeted X with an exaggerated smile. "Welcome, my esteemed guest! Please make yourself comfortable while I, your humble host, serve you the fi...

How Valiyo became Valmiki!

In the heart of a dense jungle, a notorious robber named Valiyo made his living through robbery. He was feared by travellers and revered by his family, who relied on his stolen goods to sustain their lives. One day, Sage Narada, the ever-mischievous celestial bard known for his devotion to Lord Vishnu, happened to pass through the jungle. As always, Narada was dressed in simple robes, carrying his veena, and chanting “Narayana, Narayana!” in a melodious rhythm. Valiyo spotted him from afar and mistook him for a wealthy priest. “This man must have hidden riches,” he thought, eyeing Narada’s attire and veena with suspicion. With a wicked grin, Valiyo drew a sharp knife from the folds of his dhoti and concealed himself in the bushes, ready to strike. As Narada drew nearer, Valiyo leapt out, brandishing his knife. “Stop right there, Brahmana!” he bellowed. “Hand over all your riches, or I’ll chop you to pieces with this blade!” Narada, undisturbed, responded calmly, “Narayana, Narayana! De...

The Actual Full Story of Eklavya (Special Edition - 2024)

 In the heart of ancient India, there lived a young and talented archer. His story is one of skill, sacrifice, and unwavering devotion. Ekalavya, the son of Hiranyadhanus who was the king of Nishada tribe. Though born in a privileged family, Ekalavya lost his father at a very young age due to his tragic death in a war. Now Ekalavya as the male heir was the only one to be in charge of the forest. But there was another problem. The population of the wolves and jackals was at its peak, which threatened the natives and wildlife. Ekalavya, who was a humble and curious boy, wanted to learn archery and warfare tactics for the welfare of his subjects. He approached Dronacharya, the guru of Pandavas and the Kauravas, whom he considered his role model. "Greeting to you Oh Revered Guru! I am Eklavya, the son of late Hiranyadhanus, the king of Nishada Tribe. As the new king of the forest, it is my duty to protect my subjects and the forest wildlife from the wolves and jackals. I am very keen ...

Pran Pratishtha of Shri Ram

              22nd January 2024 - The Auspicious Pran Pratistha day  I'm glad to know that Shri Ram, the greatest emperor in the history of mankind has finally returned to the Sacred land of Ayodhya. This day i.e. 22nd of January, 2024, the day of Pran Pratistha, will be remembered by generations to come. Lord Ram has finally come home after a 500 year long wait.  This monumental occasion marks a significant moment in the cultural and religious tapestry of not only our nation, but the entire world. This occasion shows that India is now regaining its past glory of being the greatest civilisation and is no more a vassal of colonisers. As we traverse through the Ramayana Series, let's reflect on the enduring legacy of Lord Ram and the newfound cultural resonance in the heart of Ayodhya. Jay Shri Ram! -Shanmukha, Curious Herald
