 PINK CITY

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

Tall buildings

Pink City

Lush green abundantly

Blend of unique colours

My Pink City

Children coming out of school

Their cheeks are pink

A pair of eyes

Peeping through spectacles

Their lips are pink

Look at fingers of

Grandma and maternal grandma

Pink precious stones are

Shining 

Tender plants in flower-beds

Are rich with pink flowers

Peep outside gatehouse

Carrying *Teej -Sawari

Moving with ornamentation

Their turbans are pink

Decorated pitcher for that great oblation

Is being carried on head by sister-in-law

In moments of trance

 Her glory is pink

Her carrot-like well developed arms

And her lips are pink

Dame ornamented with pearls and henna

Her palms are pink

Greenery prevails in every abode

Decorated buildings are pink

Goddess Lakshmi arrives from

North

South

East 

West

And settles in city

On  Lotus

Its colour is pink!


*Teej -Sawari:  During Teej Festival in Rajasthan, Idol of Teej Mata is carried in procession

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...
