I wrote about them honestly, truly
freely & frankly;
They lost all their senses &
chided me furiously…
They said, “If you have nothing better
to say, don’t say!”
I said, “But, you know that’s the
truth & you only said ‘Satyameva Jayate*-
What happened to all your high ideals & the previous ‘acting’ display?”
What happened to all your high ideals & the previous ‘acting’ display?”
*Satyameva Jayate- Truth always wins

DeleteWah! Wah! ... This reminds me of one of my old rambling… here it goes.
ReplyDeleteवो जो उतार देना चाहते हैं कविताओं मं अपने व्यक्तिगत दुःख
हस्पताल मैं भर्ती हो जायें और डाक्टर को अपने दुःख सुनायें
कविताएँ दर्द निवारक गोलियां नहीं
किन्तु वो बन कक्ति हैं गोलियां जो दागी जायें उनपर
जो कष्ट कई कारण हुआ करते हैं
Thanks Sachin!
