UPCOMING SUNDAY, I DON"T TRUST DICTIONARY

-

Rajasthani Poems of Madan Laddha , translated by me into English


UPCOMING SUNDAY

From Monday till Saturday

Running after city bus

Meddling my head with

 Rise and fall of sensex

Entangled with 

Key -pad of computer   

I am badly fed up.


Upcoming Sunday

I want to view

Albums of old photographs

Want to  go through

Diary of college-life

And stretching myself 

On cot

In moonlit night

Listen to music on radio.


I Don't Trust Dictionary

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

How can I trust

Dictionary


It is not necessary 

That meaning of a word

Is exactly same

In real life

As mentioned in dictionary


For you

Meaning of joy

Can be festival

But for me

Meaning of joy

Is two-times meal


Meaning of hope

In context of mine

Is.... wait

Which you will not find

In any dictionary


My life is not like

Dictionary 

In alphabetical order

It is scattered

Unkempt

Like a crossword puzzle.


TILL THAT TIME

In the box of iron

A tin of grease

A pump

A screw-driver

Two- four ranches

And a piece of old cloth

Our firm consists of

These articles only


 Long-wide road

And vehicle plying on it

Are our hope


Our trade will flourish

As long as 

We are hale and hearty.

    Sharing thought of a voracious reader, posted on my fb timlinee
    Very true.Globalization and digital world, media, politics have criminal justice system, torturing innocent common man. A poet or poetess have genuine emotions expressed. How can dictionaries explain our thought, emotions. Shared true and honest writings.

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.

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...
