Sparrow flew away...!
In distant palm trees
Hang the nests of weaver birds.
...
'Today is very cold! '
Only with these words
Who touched
Strings of the harp?
...
The filigree of dreams
In the adolescent's
Imagination
Shall roll down as tears,
...
This land is ours.
Forests, hills, rivers, animals
And these ugly tribal people
...
Smoke
This smoke is:
Our spell
Our chant
Our meditation!
Only for your welfare.
The rest
Of the earth
Water
Air
Sky
We will immerse
In the smoke!
You would be
Searching... and searching
Your lungs
Heart
Liver
Corn fields...
Everything,
Searching
In the smoke!

Unparallel in the site.Every poem is unique and original.A great litrateur in Odia has proved his excellence.What ever said is less about the writer.Regards Brother.
A great poet, terrific novelist and story writer. Nice personality, dauntless and confident.
Kanishka one of the best of contemporary Indian creators even mark twin was ignored from noble list.
Kanishka's 'Maya' is a voluminous poetic treatise- divided into five Books. The experience starts from infancy and travels through childhood, adolescence, youth and old age. No area of human activity is left out. It is simultaneously earthly and heavenly, physical and metaphysical, mundane and spiritual.
Renowned poet, novelist and story writer Kanishka's 'Parva' is a wonderful creation. Each and every poem in this collection is vivacious and heart touching. Picture of social decaying, bare truth of molested history, falsehood, slyness, exploitation and nude communalism... all as if lost in one, in this 'Parva'... dazzling in love, anger, despair and pity. 'Parva' leads the Indian poetry from the dark of hypocrisy to the light of eternal truth.
