1.RETURNED BLANK 2.  DAUGHTER : POEMS OF REENA MENARIA


RETURNED BLANK

************†*******

It happened for the first time

In history of the village

That a daughter refuted 

To attend wedding rituals

And wedding party had to

Go back without bride

In whole street and community

Questioning eyes were raised in unity

Questioning lips demanded explanation 

How come that wedding procession 

Had returned without bride

But who could ever realize

That in the village

For the first time

A daughter dared 

And took her decision prime

To decide her own future

That is why

The wedding procession 

Returned empty handed

With shattered pride

Without bride.



 DAUGHTER

************

Hanging on peg

The purse that was hanging

On her shoulder so far

She came and sat beside her mother

After inquiring about her well- being

Moved to kitchen 

Prepared two cups of tea 

For both of them

Sipping tea, Maa ushered

O that ! You were my son

In the evening, eating  porridge 

Prepared by daughter

Maa again ushered

O that ! You were my son

Daughter just smiled


Lovingly, combing hair 

Caressing hands of

 Her daughter

Kissed her and again

Ushered same words 

O that! You were my son

Addressing the daughter

Who was reciting 

Shlokas of Gita for her 

Maa, again ushered

O that! You were my son

Ultimately, the daughter ushered

O! Maa, if I were your son

Then, probably

You would have been elsewhere.....

Words abruptly flashed from her mouth

Yeah!  Probably in old age home.

VINCENT VAN GOG  AUTHOR SPEAKS: KAVI ANURAG ******************************** IN CONTEXT OF THE POETRY BOOK  'BHULA HUA SA YAAD KUCH' ' (RECOLLECTING OBLIETRATED') ******************************************************************************** The world is rich with many great artists who are remembered for providing new heights to art, on dint of their original, distinct skills. But Vincent Van Gogh holds a distinct status. He is remembered as much for his contribution to Painting as for his sacrifice and dedication towards Art. In spite of sufferings, agony and failures on every step pf life, he was always associated with colors and canvas, even during his lunacy. Not even for a single moment, he nurtured any doubt for Art. His craze for art provides energy and vigour to the artists even in present times. This attribute makes him distinct from other artists and this is a testimony to his dedication that he lost everything, even life in the end-- but did not leave colo...
