INDIA DWELLS IN VILLAGES : HINDI POEM BY PROMILA BHARDWAJ: ENGLISH VERSION BY RAJNI CHHABRA

 INDIA DWELLS IN VILLAGES

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

I observed, what I had heard

India dwells in villages

Relations flourish here

Under shade of affection

Love and fraternity still exist

Only in villages.

If someone dies,

 No festival or celebration 

Takes place in the whole village.

Rehearsals for performance of *Ramleela 

Are carried more than one month in advance.

It is possible 

Only in village these days

Preparations for wedding of a daughter

Entire village gets involved

Chopping wood

Pruning of grains

Becomes responsibility of every home

Social responsibility 

Still is assumed 

In villages these days.

In case of rift

It is tackled collectively

By persuasion

Honouring the societal conventions

Spiritual rites

Regard for elders

All rituals and customs

All * sanskaras are preserved

In villages, still

I observed, what I had heard

India dwells in villages


* Sanskaras : in Indian Philosophy mental impressions

    I feel the poet is searching for the purity of Indian life
    I feel he searches for that community of life that is fading into cities he seeks that which was pure and uncluttered this is what his words make me feel
    I to look for that brotherhood and sisterhood that is created in the small town and or village well said

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.
