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,

कितने कदम बाकी है ?



अब पैर लड़खड़ाते है 
चल न पाते है ;

पर अब भी कुछ चलना बाकी है 
तुम तक पहुँचने लगेंगे 
आज से लेकर चौबीस दिन 
फिर और चौबीस दिन ,

कितने कदम हो मुज़से आगे ?

सहारा दिया जिन सबने 
उन्हें छोड़ कर 
तुम तक पहुँचने 
कितने कदम बाकी है  ?

खुद को पूछते 
आज भी डरता हूँ ,
कितनी दफा कहा तुम्हे ,

" मैं तुजसे प्यार करता हूँ  " 

डर इस बात से है 
कुछ कम तो नहीं कहा  ?

आज भी 
सपनो में तो कहता हूँ 

पर डर इस बात से है ,
क्या ख्वाबो में सून पाती हो  ?

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

How Many Steps are Left

Now the legs are wobbly ,

unable to walk ;

but there is still some walking to be done ,

you will begin to reach them

twenty - four days from now and

twenty - four days from now ,

how many steps are ahead of me ?

How many steps are left for all those

who supported them to reach you ?

I am still afraid to ask myself ,

how many times have I told you ,

" I love you . " Even today ,

I say it in my dreams ,

but the fear is from this thing ,

do you feel sleepy in your dreams ?
