I was never one for Rap music. I guess partly because of my age and partly because I never felt it really said anything.

I had never really taken the time to read the lyrics of any Rap music.

Then I met a young man who wrote some of the most powerful prose that I had ever written.

Powerful words delivered in true street talk...

no punches pulled

no bullshit.

My eyes were open.

Anish was an amazing Poet and even more so, he spoke from the heart about things he felt passionate for.

And it was that passion, that I believe attracted others to his writing and perhaps even inspired others to write.

He was one of the first true Pubbers here and in the brief time I knew him, I saw an excited, passionate young man who had a love for Rap poetry and had found a special place here at the Pub.

I also felt his sadness and even though we did not speak in depth about his issues, I knew there was more than he was letting on.

Anish will be missed and I hope that he has found some Peace at last.
