These poems have been composed by this veteran poet in 2019

 कराह उठता है /He groans

(हर 12 घंटों के बाद एक बार जरूर देख लीजिए- FB+ Today Bejod India)

कविता सदियों तक कवि की मुंहलगी मीत बन नहीं रहती

उसके शब्दों को बस बोल देते हैं कवि और

बादलों की जूतियां पहन चल देते हैं शब्द

\

शब्दों के इशारे पर ही किसी महाद्वीप के जलागारों को

धेनु बनाकर दूह लेता है सूरज और

शब्दों के संकेत पर ही काले बादल

दूसरे महाद्वीप की वादियों पर जल-समूहों को

उलीच देते हैं

शब्दों के मुंह ताकते रह जाते हैं तानाशाह

शब्द जब जोर से बोले जाते हैं तो

सदियां झनझना उठती हैं

कवियों को भी निस्संग छोड़ कविताएं

ग्रहों का चक्कर लगाती हैं

सप्तर्षि को पतंग बना नचाती हैं

कभी मन हुआ तो पृथ्वी के अतल में पहुंच

सोने-चांदी के डबरों के किनारे ठुमके लगाती हैं

कवि की स्मृतियां तो बस

किसी पहाड़ी चट्टान की छाया में विश्राम करती हैं और

भावक नृत्य करते हैं सहस्त्राब्दियों तक

कविता के शब्दों के बोल जब गुस्सा में होते हैं तो

बिजलियां गिरती हैं तब

तानाशाह जोड़-जोड़ के भीषण दर्द से

कराह उठता है।

Poetry does not remain a henchman 

Of a poet for centuries

Poets simply speak it's words and

Words just fly off like a cloud.

Only at the behest of words
The sun milks the water reservoirs of a continent
Making them a milch cow
It's only at the prompt of the words 
That the dark clouds pours down the water mass 
On the valleys of some other continent
Dictators keep staring at words
Awestruck and helplessly.

When Words somehow speak out loudly

It shivers for many centuries

And just leaving alone the poets 

The poems revolve around planets

They fly kite treating 'Big Dipper' as the same

It they feel like so, reaching the bottom of the earth

They bang on the sides of gold and silver reserves.

The poet's memories 

Just take rest in the shadow of a hill's rock and

Dance for millennia on a favourite tune

When the words of the poem are in anger

The lightnings fall

A tyrant groans under an unbearable pain

Of its own manipulations.

 आज का दिवस / This Day

पलकों से गृहस्थ प्रेयसी की

नाक की नोक को गुदगुदाया

होठों से गृहस्थ प्रेयसी के

कानों की ज़िल्द को सहलाया

गृहस्थ प्रेयसी की आंखों के गोलकों में गौर से

पृथ्वी को नाचते देखा

फिर उसके हाथों से

तुलसी और काली मिर्च के

काढ़े का कटोरा लेकर

होठों से लगाया

साझा मन ने संकेत में कहा कि

आज का दिवस भी

श्रम के आनन्द से सराबोर होगा ।

With my eyelashes

I tickled the nose tip of the beloved house

Of my beloved housemaker 

From my lips 

I titillated the covers of her ears

I saw a revolving earth 

In the eyeballs of the beloved homemaker lady

Then taking the bowl of decoction 

Of basil and pepper

From her hands

And touched it with my lips

The shared minds indicated to each other

That even this day

Will be flooded with joy of labor.

----------

सदियों को हराकर/ Beating the centuries

गृहस्थ प्रेयसी को आज

चूल्हे से राख नहीं मिली

आधे बरतन भी साफ नहीं हुए

उसने सदियों को टटोल कर देखा

राख नदारत थी

वहां भी कई जूठे कड़ाह रखे थे

उसके गालों पर उदासी की परतें

देखी जा सकती थीं

आंखों में समन्दर का स्वाद वाला

पानी डबडबाया था

उसने कुदाल पर आंटा गूंथा

अपने सीने में उंगलियां डालकर

आग निकाली

कुदाल का काठ निकालकर चूल्हा सुलगा लिया

एक रोटी बनी और

सामने पत्तल पर नमक-प्याज रखकर

भोजन परस दिया

गृहस्थ प्रेयसी का मुखमण्डल

चमक रहा था

सदियों को हराकर

आनन्द से भर गया था उसका चेहरा।

Today, the beloved homemaker

Could not find ashes from the stove

Not even half the dishes could be cleaned

She explored many centuries

The ashes were missing

Large number of utensils were lying there too

Layers of sadness on her cheeks
Were quite visible
The eyes were overflowing 
With the water of a sea.

She kneaded flour on a hoe
Putting fingers in her chest
Set fire

Taking out the wood from the hoe

She lighted the stove

And cooked a bread

Placing it before me 

With salt and onion on a leaf-plate

Served food

The whole face of the beloved homemaker

was shining

Beating the centuries

Her face was filled with joy.

 हवाबाज

हवा को कन्धे नहीं होता

उसकी अनिश्चित दिशा होती है गमन की

उसकी छांह भी नहीं होती

कहां तक जाएंगे आप पतंग बनकर

बीच में ही कट सकता है धागा

ज्यादा उड़ेंगे आप बिना बांह वाली हवा की अफवाह में

तो ताड़ में लटक कर रह जायंगे

हवाबाजों की फ़ितरत के वश में भी नहीं है हवा

एक गोल कंघीनुमा सुअरबाड़े में

जमा होते हैं हवाबाज

हवाबाज गुब्बारों की तरह उछलते हैं बिना

एक-दूसरे को चोट पहुंचाते हुए

इस साॅफ्ट वातावरण में

कभी धक्कामुक्की भी होती है

काॅलर पकड़ते हैं

एक-दो बटन टूटते है

पर किसी के दांत नहीं टूटते

वहां से निकलते हैं तो पतंग हो जाते हैं छोटे हवाबाज

कड़ा मंझा वाले धागे की छोर

थामे रहते हैं कोई न कोई खलनायक-हवाबाज ।

---------

सुलग रही हैं बीड़ियां

सूर्य की रश्मियां धीमी होती हुईं

गायब हो गयी हैं

फिलहाल सूरज नहीं उगेगा

सुबह की तरफ़दारी में

केवल कलमकार होंगे

सात घोड़ों को

राहू हांक रहा है

धुप्प अंधेरे से लड़ने के लिए

कलमकारों के पास

मुक्तिबोध की दी हुईं फ़कत

बीड़ियां सुलग रही हैं ।

-------

उसकी कमीज में बटन नहीं थे

(महान कवि नागार्जुन का प्रत्यक्षदर्शी वर्णन)

वह रह-रहकर

राजधानी चला आता था खंजड़ी लेकर बेधड़क

खंजड़ी पीटता था बे-ताल

खंजड़ी पर बेसुर गाता था

छन्दों को उछालता था ऐसी धुन पर जैसे

राजा का ताज उछाल रहा हो

इस छोटी राजधानी की एक मिठाई दुकान के कोने पर

उसकी खंजड़ी की धपर-धपर आवाज के छोर

आज भी तैर रहे हैं हवा में

आंधी-तूफान को ठेंगा दिखाते हुए

उसकी कमीज में एक भी बटन नहीं थे लेकिन

बद्-मिजाज सत्ता के दिमागी बटन को

बार-बार दबा देता था

समय रुक जाता था

खुर्दबीन लगाकर जब

बांचता था कोई युवा-कविता

घड़ीसाज से पता लेकर उसने खरीदी थी खुर्दबीन

उसे घड़ी की जरूरत कभी नहीं पड़ी ।

Children's Day at Malad (Mumbai) on 14.11.2019 : Let's Puppet and Book Distribution

Moments with rowdy candid kids 

(View it after every 12 hrs - FB+ Today Bejod India)

Even if a dozen of men or women gather at a place it is a group but if there are more than one kid at a place, it's essentially a crowd. Their unruliness, rowdiness treat every piece of land and space as their subjugated territory. And of course whosoever enters their territory are their subject who must try to meet their irrational and cynical demands. 

Initially the gathering of 65 children at CLAP centre of Malad (Mumbai) on 14.11.2019 must have been something as such. But surprisingly when the puppet show started all of the kids turned into the most sober sort of little gentlemen totally in a "Do Not Disturb" mode.  

To make the Children's Day more vibrant, unique and eventful I planned to visit Malad (Mumbai) on 14.11.2019.  At the first floor of the building Solitaire-II opp. to Infinity Mall there is a CLAP Center, a cultural business center that pays full attention to children's grooming in the sphere of art and culture. 

There was a small screen just of a size of a big TV screen put in front of the of more than 60 people most of them being kids and their parents. A number of interesting tales were presented through puppet show and shadow puppet show. The artists were well trained and so the show was flawless which succeeded in connecting psyche of the children to it's deliverable. Surprisingly there was total silence throughout the show of half an hour and I came to know more by the children's sounds when the show ended.

Then after a break of ten minutes another class started in which the kids and children learnt how to make puppets. Various customised materials were provided to each of them and there were instructors to teach and help in making puppets. This class ran for 45  minutes. The mothers of the kids were also seen interested in learning this skill.

After the end of the show I talked with Tarun, the event manager who said that there is presently only one centre of this kind and they wand to make more franchisee partners. Founded by Misti Verma and Faisal Poonawalla this centre is making confident strides towards expansion in  the art and culture space.

Thanks to Tarun Rawal and his team for introducing me with their centre.

........

Just downstairs was a Book Distribution program in full swing. That event had been organised by "Crime and corruption control association". The workers were not willing to give more info about their organisation at that moment as they were busy with their work. Though it was evident that hundred or more slum-dwelling children were present at this event and were very happy for this. There were also smiles on the mothers and fathers of the children who were standing at nearby corners of the main spot of activity. 

The children chanted some prayers and slogans on this occasion. It was really energizing to watch the less privileged children getting books as their gift on the Children's Day.

Stagetalk@Prithvi: Khurana Family : a meetup on 8.11.2019 at Andheri (Mumbai) with a family devoted to theatre and film

Khurana family talks all about theatre 

(View it after every 12 hrs - FB+ Today Bejod India)

Nasiruddin Shah, the icon of Hindi cinema and one who also acted in the first play of Prithvi Theatre "Udhwasta Dharmashala" (in 1978 with Om Puri and Benjamin Gilani) was present at the site once again in 2019. His wife Ratna Pathak (sister of Surpiya Pathak) was also with him.

A stagetalk was shot at the adjacent building of Prithvi Theatre, Andheri (Mumbai) where the five members of Khurana family well known  for their works in theatre and films participated. A lady anchor asked questions about their journey in theatre and films and each of them answered.

Akash Kurana is a well known character-role actor and screenplay writer in films. He has written or co-authored  screenplays of  many of the popular Hindi films including  of 'Ashiqi", ' Baajigar'. He has also played character roles in a large number of popular Hindi films. like Ardh Satya, Saaransh, Naam, Beta, Saudagar, Sarfarosh, Company and Barfii.  He said that he graduated from XLRI and served in various top-notch companies like Tata Motors for many years. He also worked for companies in hospitality and entertainment industry. And then got inclined towards theatre and films. He also worked with the famous director Sunil  Shanbag (The Unknown General), Satyadev Dubey (Abe Bewakoof) etc in 1970s. He shared his vast experience in theatre and revealed that his first performance in theatre was made when he was just in Std. 3. He passed through many ups and downs in theatre but got along with his passion in acting and direction. He also applauded the contribution of Shashi Kapoor and Jeniffer in Hindi theatare and remembered how they established Prithvi Theatre .

Prithvi Theatre in the present form was starated n 1978 by Shashi Kapoor and his wife Jenifer Kapoor in memory of father Prithviraj Kapoor. Earlier it was titled as "Prithvi Theatre workshop" where only 20-30 people used to sit but later when the theatre-lovers began to come in large number, it was given a shape of proper auditorium with the state-of-the-art facilities and paraphernalia. Both of Kapoors loved it deeply and watched almost every production of it till their death.

Meera Khurana, the wife of Akash Khurana said that though people used to say earlier "What you people are doing? Earning from other fields and wasting money in theatre?" But later even the theatre works reached a level of self-sufficiency. Meera Khurana has directed some of the plays and has also acted in a few of them.

Akarsh Kurana talked at length about his work in theater and films. He has directed and screenplay writer of 'Kaarwaan'.  He is also known for his screenplay of 'Krisss' directed by Rakaesh Roshan and is presently writing for a film by Ajay Devadan. His wife Dilshad Khurana, mother Meera Khurana, father Akash Khurana and brother Adhar Khurana agreed that he is the best director among them. 

Adhaar Khurana was straight in saying that he was sort of averse to theatre in the beginning. One of the reasons he mentioned was interesting. He said that he used to find that in every play, his father is going to die so he disliked all of such plays. After gaining maturity he generated some interest for theatre but remained attached primarily with films only. His acting has been appreciated in films titled as  Ghoul (2018), Karwaan (2018) and High Jack (2018).

Dilshad Khurana also talked about her works in theatre and that she has directed in some of the plays and have also acted in many of others.

The lady anchor was conducting the talk in very cordial manner and did not interrupt if some of the interviewee was speaking something. She framed questioned in a manner to let the Khuranas speak their hearts out. The talk was held in a formal setup where all of the six participants were sitting in the chair in a semi-circle while the camera and lights were on. But as the photographpy by others was not allowed at that time so all the photos presented here are of just after the end of the talk show.

At he end of the talk show, the legendary actor Nasiruddin Shah was also seen on the spot with his wife who had come to act in a play at the Prithvi Theatre Festival and  also greeted the Khurana family. 

Also a few photographs can be seen at the end of this article in which a young musician wasv performing with his team in open premises of Prithvi Theatre while the Khurana's talk was over.

Brothers and sisters! Unite / Poet - Hemant Behera ( भाई-बहन एक हो जाओ / कवि - हेमन्त बेहेरा)

An English poem with rhythmic translation in Hindi

 एक अंग्रेजी कविता, हिन्दी अनुवाद के साथ 

( View it after every 12 hrs - FB+ Today Bejod India)

Son and daughter of Hemant Behara

Happy Bhatri-dwitjya!

Brothers and sisters! Unite

Today's the day when you forget all your fights.

भाई- बहनों एक हो जाओ

आज के दिन सारे झगड़े  भूल जाओ

Sisters, go tie a rakhi around your brother's wrist

Brothers, bless them, your sisters,

And promise to always be their saviors and protectors.

बहनें जाओ भाई की कलाई पर बांधो राखी, दो भाई आशीष

और प्रण लो कि रक्षा करोगे देकर अपना शीष

Today's the day you renew your bond,

That with each day grows strong.

आज के दिन में भातृ-प्रेम को फिर से करो नवीन

आज से बढ़ता जाये यह कभी न होवे क्षीण

For what fun is it without siblings,

Without the fights and all the quarreling?

वो मजा ही क्या जो भाई-बहन के बिन हो

जब प्रेम  से लड़ें न झगड़ें, ऐसा न कोई दिन हो

But brothers and sisters need not share the same blood,

They can be anyone, anywhere in the world.

जरूरी नहीं कि भाई-बहन में हो रक्त-सम्बंध

दुनिया में कोई जा सकते हैं इस प्रेम में बंध

Just tie a rakhi to you want your brother to be :

This brothers-sisters bond you share for eternity

बस जाओ और बांध दो राखी किसी को भाई बनाओ

इस भाई-प्रेम के पावन बंधन को युगों-युगों तक निभाओ.

IPPL, Mumbai Chapter presented "Different Strokes" - poem recital by young poets in Mumbai on 20.10.2019

Defeated by love at first sight.

 ( View it after every 12 hrs - FB+ Today Bejod India)

Diversity is the essence of democracy and the stance on it can be best taken on the front of language. Love and friendship regain their strength whenever a verse is written. All the human beings on this earth have the same feelings. . Language is just a vehicle to carry the feelings that are invariably the same for the whole humankind.

And looking at our country, hundreds of popular languages exist here and all of them contain the stamp of Indian ethos and culture. Until and unless we come across this diversity at one platform how can we appreciate the singularity of this Indianness  in the plurality of the languages?  And the endeavour of IPPL Mumbai Chapater (Intercultural Poetry and Performance Library) must be applauded in  this pious objective.

The first event of IPPL (Intercultural Poetry and Performance Library) Mumbai Chapter took place on the 20th of October, 2019 at the Library of The Club, Andheri in Mumbai.  The event was titled as  "Different Strokes- Poems by the young and young at heart”. 

The Founder and President of IPPL Mumbai Chapter, Dr. Paramita Mukherjee Mullick in her welcome address described how she started this chapter. 

One more attraction was Tejus Coulagi a young poet who also anchored the event very deftly. It was a multilingual poetry session with poems in Maithili, Hindi, Telegu, Marathi, Kutchi, Gujrati, Avadhi, Brijbhasha, Bengali and English. There was a line of wonderful poets, Bhaskar jha, Shashi Dhambare, Aarti Saiya, Rajeev Mishra , Mohan Krishna and Akshay Sonthalia. 

Shashi Dhambare' s Marathi poems were full of emotions. Avadhi and Brijbhasha poems sung by Rajeev Mishra were a hit. Mohan read out his Telegu poems and Akshay Sonthalia his English ones. Tejus requested Dr.Paramita to read a Bengali poem and he himself read his English ones. The VP of IPPL Mumbai Chapter Dr. Shamira Abdulla talked about the importance of multilingual poetry sessions in promoting poetry. 

Shashi Dhambare' s Marathi poems were full of emotions. Avadhi and Brijbhasha poems sung by Rajeev Mishra were a hit. Mohan read out his Telegu poems and Akshay Sonthalia his English ones. Tejus requested Dr.Paramita to read a Bengali poem. 

Hemant Das 'Him' of Bejod India blog was also present in this event.

Here we are presenting in full or parts, the poems read by the poets -

R.J. Aarti saiya "Hiranshi" read her Gujarati and Kuchchhi poem. Given below is the part of her Kuchchhi poem- 

પાં મણે કચ્છી અયું ને પાં ત 

પાંજે  મઠડે કચ્છ  જા  અયું 

ઘાંટી રોડ મેઠ્ઠી છાય જા ઓન્યા 

ને મેળાવે જા પાં ભોખ્યા અયું

ખારી ભોમ ને મન્ઢે મીં મેં પણ 

મેઠ્ઠી બોલી કે પોખીન્ધલ અયું

Paan made kutchhi ainyun

Ne paan ta paanje mathade kutchh ja ainyun

Ghatti rod methhi chhay ja onya
Ne medave ja paan bhokhya ainyun

Khari bhom ne mandhe min me pan  

Methhi boli k pokhindhal ainyun

Saiya read one more poem in Gujarati-
માતૃભાષાની આરતી
આજે ઉતારું માતૃભાષાની આરતી
માતૃભાષી શાળાઓની આરતી
શિક્ષકો અને શિક્ષિકાઓની આરતી
વાલીઓની આરતી,વિદ્યાર્થીઓ અને
વિદ્યાર્થીનીઓની આરતી
માતૃભાષી ગણવેશ, પ્રાર્થના અને
પ્રતિજ્ઞાની આરતી
જેથી ગદ ગદે ગિરા ગુર્જરી ભોમ ભારતી
આજે ઉતારું માતૃભાષાની આરતી
Matru bhasha ni aarti
Aaje utarun matru bhasha ni aarti
Matru bhashi shalao ni Aarti shikshako Ne Shikshikao Ni Aarti
Valio ni Aarti
vidhyarthio ne vidhyarthiniyo ni Aarti
matru bhashi ganvesh Prarthana Ane Pratigya Ni Aarti
Jethi gad gade Gira Gurjari bhom Bharti
Aaje utarun matru bhasha ni aarti

Tejus Coulagi read an English love poem that really suited the title of the event "Different Stroke" The whole poem is presented below-

Out of the closet, into the street

The phone starts to ring
The alarm starts to beep
I get my costume out of the closet
And get into the street

Some new super villain
Is terrorizing the town
So I rush to its center
To take the monster down

As I get to ground zero
I see smoke, dust and cars
I see a crash landed rocketship
Has this villain come from Mars?

I look out for a giant tentacle
I scan the scene for a nefarious claw
I announce my presence in a loud voice
"I command you to stop in the name of the law!"

And then I see the villain
Just look at that face
She turns to me and smiles
Freezing my heart in place

And so this intrepid hero
Here for a big fight
Finds he's lost before he even started

Defeated by love at first sight.

Then there was Bhaskar Jha, a miraculously dynamic tri-lingual poet. He read his poems in Hindi and Maithili . Hindi Poem (तुम्हारे न होने से) by Bhaskar Jha was s a surrealistic expression of romantic longing of loving life sublimated in form of a soothing creativity with a tone melancholy; with philosophical insights into love-filled life. This is in fact in a tone of melancholy-
तुम्हारे न होने से
लगता है तुम्हारा न होना
ये नजदीक दूरी--
और अधिक बहुत खलती है,
बढ जाती है बेधड़क
तब संग हो जाने की चाहत
'हाँ ' औऱ 'ना'
के बीच झूलने लगता है
हमारा अस्तित्व
चंद पर्द रंगीन ख्वाब लिए.....
न होने
और होने के बीच में
हम दोनों होते हैं लेकिन
तुम नहीं होती
मैं नहीं होता --
सब कुछ होने में भी तो कुछ नहीं होता
जब मैं होता हूं तुम्हारा
तुम से होता हूं मैं
तब हम एक ही होते हैं
एकाकार
निराकार
इस गोलाकार धरती पर
क्योंकि
अंदर का अस्तित्व कभी दिखता नहीं
नंगी आंखों से
पर तुम्हे देख लेता हूं
मन दर्पण में
अब तुम्हे देखना है
इसलिए
तुम्हे दे रहा हूँ आंखें अपनी
जब भी मेरा जी चाहे
तुम्हे देख लेने देना इन्हें
जी भर कर
मैं यहीं से देख लूंगा तुम्हे
तुम्हारा भाव लेकर
मैं तो बस तुम्हें
अपने शब्दों से सजाता हूं
अक्स तुम्हारा
उकेर कर निहारता हूं
मन ही मन गाता हूं
फुरसत मिले तो तुम
सुन लेना मुझे
अपने ही सहर्ष स्पर्श स्पंदन में.

Maithili poem - (भाव नीक राखू स्वभाव नीक राखू) is an exhortation calling upon the people to have good heart and sound mind in the world. In this world of variety and complexities everything is futile and transient except the purity of heart, serenity of mind and ethos of humanity with social-moral mores, values and ideals.

Maithili poem by Bhaskar Jha

Akash Naik presented his Gujarati poem whose picture is given below-

The Vice President Dr.Shamira Abdulla talked about how multilingual poetry events promote poetry. The young Krisha Shah one of the coordinators in her vote of thanks expressed  how Dr.Paramita has worked hard to bring all the poets together and make this event a success.
