 GIRLS GOING TO SCHOOL Weight of wingy dreams  Is always light. O! Girls Your school bags are So heavy  But you always Find it light Right from the moment of Moving to school  Till reaching school Instructions of your mother Are carried on your shoulders Due to that burden You never raised your eyes Moving back from School to home Sticks to your shoulders Disapprobation of your teacher She keeps on curtailing your moves Each and every moment Your enthusiasm to  Do something outstanding God knows, where has it disoriented Between school and home. A Rajasthani poem of  literary icon Arjun Dev Charan Translated into English by Rajni Chhabra

Baikunthee is brain child of literary icon Dev Kishan Rajpurohit Ji. He is well established identity in  literary corridors of Rajasthani as well as Hindi  and has several accolades to his credit on state as well as National level.
