Col Rajendran

What strikes one most about Rajendran’s personality is that Raj defies categorisation.

He is an innately and immensely gifted sportsman who would play any game with equal felicity and poise. He is a prolific writer of his times whose poems are original, rich in ideas with each of them maintaining purity of thought. His poems are very expressionistic and borrow from real life experiences. Quite a lot of his poems, sometimes melancholic, resonate with vulnerability.

Raj is a man who believes in living life on his own terms. Seldom does he regret his actions. Maybe that’s one reason why he is never overly attracted to religion. He has never hesitated to speak his own mind, even if it meant ploughing a lone furrow.

Immensely popular among his friends, Raj is synonymous with spontaneity and a happy-go-lucky attitude. He has a great sense of humour which helps him be impervious when lows strike. He is a diehard fan of anything cowboy, the old “Sudden” series still being his favourite! He spends time now playing Bridge and Billiards. Lately, he has taken to blogging fervently at colrajendran.blogspot.com
