Wickless Lamp
I’m on a visit to my village after two decades. My school still looks the same. Grey walls, wooden staircase, old-fashioned desks …. It needs repair in some places, before they move to renovation.

‘A state of the heart’ poem by hecblogger(Amit Agrawal)- English translation in Comments section…
दिल अभी भी वहीं पड़ा है
नाज़-ओ-अंदाज़ से तुमने
जहाँ किया था उसे तलब
सुनाया था अपना फरमान ।१।
सोचता है पड़ा बेचारा
वो दिन फिर से आएगा
याद तुम्हे जब आएगी
होंगे पूरे कुछ अरमान ।२।
डरता है कुछ कहने से
कहीं सुनकर भी तुमने
अनसुनी की उसकी फ़रयाद
क्या रहेगा उसका मान ।३।
क्या विकल्प है तुम्हीं कहो
अमित उस बेचारे के पास
तुम्हें दिखता है धीरज उसका
नहीं दिखता उसका अपमान ।४।

Ironically, the news items that … Continue reading Page of a diary
