Ishvar Krishnan is a contemporary Tamil performance poet and poetry filmmaker. His works delve into profound, philosophical questions about death, thoughts and existence.

He feels that he is but a failed attempt in translating heaven in terms of earth. He looks forward to the day when he has nothing to say or write, awaiting natural silence to be he his language. Until then, he continues laughing at, and with other mortals, to the joke that "We mortals are just unaware immortals."
