All the girls say they love me
all their mums say I'm lovely —
ever since I lived in the clouds.

More quotes by Daljit Nagra

Poetry…is an espresso shot of thought and public poetry is as necessary as it ever was.

You either do it quietly and describe the Indian community in half a dozen poems or you think sod it, and go all out. The most Indian way I could think of was to do monologues and voices.

Poetry was a meeting of mind and heart, I felt at one with poetry itself. I like the concentrated language, the play with form, and the way you can muck around with words in a way that you can’t in a novel. Poetry allows you to be intense, because to some degree people expect it.

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
