The Vineet 'the Troubadour' Kaul Duo is a
collaboration project. Two Indian blokes who together write poetry,
travelogues, prose and compose music. They are art enthusiasts trying to
merge their influences since they've been told it is 21st century chic to do
so.They've been nominated for the 2011 Best of the Net Prize and will also
feature in The Anthology on Contemporary Indian Poets (2012). Vineet Kaul
rents out his vocabulary and cynicism to his partner-in-rhyme while the
Troubadour brings his imagination to the table. Neither of them, however,
are bringing any bread to the table. Maybe that is what happens when you
collaborate with your alter-ego.
Poetic idiosyncrasies of the progeny
of this union of mindfulness versus madness can be read in magazines like
Short, Fast & Deadly, Cha: An Asian Literary Magazine, The Asia Writes
Project, Nether Magazine, Subliminal Interiors, Calliope Nerve, Midwest
Literary's "Bearing North" Anthology, 'the brown critique' and a
handful more.

Beauty is the Beguile in the Eye of the Beholder
Mundane as everyday fare,
tempered with a frown,
you fell for an
(unspoken) unimplied
depth in the blink of her illusive eyes.
Finding
philosophy in an empty page!
The Kit and Caboodle of Collective Silence
Unrest assured,
for
when it is your son
who came home in a casket
or your daughter who didn’t,
the dreams of your fathers
or motherland they cremate -
the monsters you created
in apathy or dread
will move out from your closet and
into your head…..
