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

कहाँ है मंजिल ?


______________________________________________________

पचास के ऊपर पांच ,
देखते ही देखते दिन कट गए ,

कहाँ है मंजिल ?

लगता हैं हम तो
रास्ते में ही भटक गए !

कुछ उलटा भी हुआ ,
चलते चलते जिसे थकना था
वो जिस्म ना
अबतक लडखडाया ;

मगर मेरी रूह
मेरे नाउम्मीद साँसों को रोकने पर
मजबूर कर रही हैं  !

अब पाँखे फदफदाना बन्ध  कर
हवा के जोंकों पर बह जाना हैं  --

अगर कोई दूरसे देख ले
और देख कर आवाज़ भी दे दे ,
तो ना पहेचानना है !

हवा में फ़ैल जाने वाले लब्ज़ों से
ना मौन को तोड़ना है ;

आँखे खोल कर
अब ,
ना किसी और मूडना है

===============================

Where Is The Destination?

Five over fifty,

The days passed by in no time,

Where is the destination?

I think we are

Got lost on the way!

Something opposite also happened,

who got tired while walking

that body right

Still faltered;

but my soul

On stopping my hopeless breaths

Forcing you!

Now stop flapping your wings

To flow on the leeches of the wind

if someone sees from a distance

And after seeing it, give a voice also,

So don't want to recognize!

through words spreading in the air

Nor is the silence to be broken;

with eyes open

Now ,

I don't have to worry about anyone else
