Perfect toy bunker........................

A poignant poem written by Gopi Krishnan Kottoor along with a famous photograph (see attached) which had shaken the entire world a few days ago. The poem was published in The Hindu on May 5, 2013 (Sunday).



Who is this Kottoor ?? Gopi Krishnan Kottoor is none other than Shri R G Nair, DGM (OBO), Reserve Bank of India, Thiruvananthapuram. Many people in RBI do not know that Shri R G Nair, who writes under the pen name of Gopi Kottoor, is an award-winning internationally acclaimed poet and one of the foremost contemporary Indian poets writing in English. His immortal poem “Father, Wake Us in Passing” is a path-breaking effort in Indian English literature.
