परिंदा

24 years of existence: No invention and No incorporation yet! Even Mt. Everest remains out of reach. What a waste the years have been!!

Varun Gupta's status message on Facebook on his birthday .

Here is something I wrote last night . These thoughts were germinated in my mind around my birthday couple of days back .It reached a crescendo last night and result is this poem. I hope you would like it.

प्रारंभ से पूर्व ही पटाक्षेप हो गया ,
जीवन प्रवाह में स्वप्न बस अवक्षेप हो गया
करता रहा प्रतीक्षा , रात भर वो भोर की
सोचा किया की , क्षितिज पार कहीं सूर्य सो गया
बचपन में था चाहा उसने छुना आकाश को
फिर घोसले का प्रेम उसकी बेडी हो गया

जीवन में शीत आयी तौ दाना " खुदा" हुआ
रिमझिम जो बरसे मेघ तो , महा भोज हो गया.
कौए की भांति पाले उसने, सपने किसी और के
जब उड़ गयी वो कोयलें , वीराना हो गया.

देखो सरल इंसान कितना गूढ़ हो गया
योवन के राह देखने में प्रोढ़ हो गया

सर्वत्र है सम्मान उसका , पर किसको ये ज्ञात है
जय घोष में दबी कहीं जो उसके दिल की बात है
कर कर के हर किसी की कही , वो महान बन गया
जन्मा था जो परिंदा वो अब इंसान बन गया

Note:Regular reader of "knowprashant" might remember when same thing happened last time . This time however I was not exceptionally happy or sad that day . but its kinda hard not to reflect on your life on your birthday.

Dr. Kumar Vishvas and His Poetry

Readers of My Blog,

Wishing you all a Very Happy New Year .
In My First post of 2007 I want you to meet someone .His name is Dr. Kumar Vishvas . A young Poet from India . I meet this Energetic , romantic and exceptionally talented poet two year back at a "Kavvi Samealan" [ Yes i attend that too, some time :) ]

That day we had dinner together and he promised me to come to my wedding and recite a poem specially written for the occasion . ( I Hope he will keep his promise )

Today while browsing Google Video i came across some clippings his performance at a college fest. just watch this video to know what it take to touch the heart of everyone.

Another One From Dr. Kumar Vishvas . it 's titelled "इक पगली लड़की " .
its real touching poem with a hint of humour and day to day life of Indian youth . Watch the video for compelete poetry

In my school days i used to read and Admire Dr.Harivansh Rai Bacchan and Suryakant Tripathi "Nirala" but i never knew any contemporary poet worth mentioning other than Dr. Vishvaas . it Might sound like a tall comparison to those who know and understand poetry but still i will go ahead and say the Dr. Vishvaas is Dr.Harivansrai Bacchan for My Generation . if you have seen the video I know you will agree with me . Don't You ??
