we both cry as those birds cry
rising like a black flag crying aloud.
why do we both cry today...
for what sound of weeping
rose today itself by?
why we do not hope
for a long easy life ,
why do we both say
"seize the day" ?
in the whole country's deep roar
why of your name has surrounded
the whole atmosphere of mine
why i see your body with my body,
why in your face i can see mine ?
say it is ,don't be afraid.
is that against the tyranny,
which doesn't allow us to speak?
is that standing against of survival,
which doesn't allow us to survive?
or, against the absolute faith
which doesn't have faith on faith ?
must be it is against of our ignorance
which allows us to know nothing.
Krishna Rai -- between April - June 2004
This poetry was the symbol of my attachment
with the woman i came to know when i was 21 and she was 32. she was born to sikh parents and later at the age of 18 she fell in love with a moslem guy who was almost a double of her age. by the age of 25 she was divorced and started to livee seperately with her three kids.
I have learnt few of good lessons of life from her , she truly was a great teacher.
This poetry tells you the mixed emotions and the quest of the same pain she was dwelling in and the sense of grieve i had for social jeer we faced together.
I am not sure if i was able to find the answer.

बंधुवर,
मुझे यह नहीं मालूम था कि आप बिग बास जैसे कार्यक्रम को बेहद पंसद करते हैं। इस कार्यक्रम का घोषित प्रवक्ता बनने के लिए आपको बधाई
आप और आप जैसे अन्य लोगों की पूंजीवादी अवधारणाओं नई जमीन मिली इन्हीं शुभकामनाओं के साथ

प्रिय कृष्णा जी
मुझे आपके तर्कों से जरा भी बुरा नहीं लगा क्योंकि मैं मानता हूं यदि नौजवान तर्क नहीं करेंगे तो यह देश डूब ही जाएगा। आप अपनी पीढ़ी का प्रतिनिधित्व करते हो और मेरे जैसे लोग उस पीढ़ी में घुसने का प्रयत्न करते हुए शायद असफल हो जाते हैं। आपके तर्क अपनी जगह ठीक है लेकिन यह भी हो सकता है कि शायद मैं ठीक ही सोच रहा होऊंगा।
खैर...मेरी दिक्कत यह है भाई कि मुझे अंग्रेजी जरा भी नहीं आती। यह बात बताते हुए मैं झिझकता भी नहीं। यदि आपकी कोई रचना हिन्दी में हो तो मुझे जरूर बताना... अपनी राय जरूर दूंगा। बाकी मेरा इरादा आपको ठेस पहुंचाने का नहीं था। विचारधारा का टकराव जरूरी है... शायद इसी से कोई नया रास्ता निकले। आप जीवन में हमेशा बेहतर करते रहे इसकी कामना भी करता रहूंगा।
khari baat :)
