Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

जिन्दगी की डोली


________________________________________
सुबह हुई
फिर एक बार
काम के नशे में डूब जाऊंगा :

शाम होते  तक
तुम्हारी याद  को छू  न पाऊंगा :

परंतु शाम होते  ही
बस याद  ही याद -
वही पुरानी
 तन्हाईओ वाली बात :

अब तो एक आदतसी हो गई हैं
पूरी एक उम्र ऐसी ही कट गई हैं :

अगर गम मिला तो गम ही सही

मेरी जिन्दगी की डोली पर चढ़के
काली चुनरियाँ ओढ़
कभी होली भी चली हैं

Doll Of Life

it's morning

once again

I will drown in the intoxication of work:

till evening

I will not be able to touch your memory:

but in the evening

Just remember, just remember -

same old

 Lonely thing:

Now it has become a habit

An entire age has passed like this:

If there is sorrow then it is true sorrow

climb on the dolly of my life

wearing black skirts

Holi has also happened sometime
