Poet, Kala Ramesh has been instrumental in bringing school kids and undergrads to haiku in India. Her latest passion is to paint city walls with haiku written by her students, helping to weave a pause, a breather into hectic lives. "One way of making poetry into action is through graffiti. While graffiti is frowned upon and considered illegal by the rest of the world, in India it gets the support of the property owners and in some places even of the government. It is not so much rebellious as reflective. " FILM CREDITS: Produced by: Kala Ramesh Directed by: Payal Kulkarni Cinematography & Editing by Kaustubh Joshi Music by: Bapu Padmanabha
