Despite its cozy image, the bungalow in literature and film is haunted by violence even while fostering possibilities for personal transformation, utopian social vision and even comedy. Originating in Bengal and adapted as housing for colonialist ventures worldwide, the homes were sold in mail-order kits during the "bungalow mania" of the early 20th century and enjoyed a revival at century's end. The bungalow as fictional setting stages ongoing contradictions of modernity--home and homelessness, property and dispossession, self and other--prompting a rethinking of our images of house and home. Drawing on the work of writers, architects and film directors, including Katherine Mansfield, E. M. Forster, Amitav Ghosh, Frank Lloyd Wright, Willa Cather, Buster Keaton and Walter Mosley, this study offers new readings of the transcultural bungalow.

I started writing poetry when I was in my early teens. I dont know why. Thinking about this sometime later, I realized it was a way of expressing my feelings and thoughts, possibly helping me to understand them. I have been writing poetry for over sixty odd years, so I suppose, in a way, it could be regarded as my diary. The poems cover a wide range of feelings and thoughts. There is something for everyone. I do hope you enjoy them and get something from them. The beauty of writing poetry is that, when you read what you have written, you learn from them.
