SOCHO ZARA:Hindi poem by Anju Dua Gemini : English Transversion by Rajni Chhabra
PONDER
*********
Store-house of consummation
Novice body
Tell bluntly
What do you want,
Requisition of desires
Bargain of shyness
Ponder over
What did you attain?
In the Dark Corner
In the Dark Corner ****************** Away from hustle bustle of picnic spot, a ripe-aged man was standing in a dark corner of park, was taking puffs of cigarette. Enjoying smoking, he was interrupted by an inquisite young man, who was curious to know why that old man was standing there alone, puffing cigarette. The old man replied that he was smoking in that dark corner of the park, because he did not want to be observed by his son. Abruptly, he observed that young man, too, was holding cigarette in his hand and was about to take puff. The old man asked him, "Why are you standing in this deserted corner, leaving the joy of company of others?" The young man replied, "I don't want to be noticed by my parents that I smoke" Rajni Chhabra 22/10/2024
