Had to make the correction! "Saket" was by Maithili Sharan Gupt, and not by Sumitra Nandan Pant. Sorry about that!

In late fifties, when I was probably in 6th or 7th grade, during the summer vacations, I used to sit in my favorite quiet corner of the house, and read the hindi books my mother saved after her Sahitya Ratna. Short stories from Munshi Prem Chand, Poetry from Mahakavi Nirala, Saket from Sumitra Nandan Pant, and among those was Kamayani by Jai Shankar Prasad. "Him giri ke uttung shikhar par, baith shila ki sheetal chhaon, Ek purush bheegey nayanon se, dekh raha tha pralay pravah, Neechey jal tha Oopar him tha, ek taral tha ek saghan, Ek tatva ki hi mahanata, Kaho usey jad yaa chetan..." and while searching for Kaamayani, I came across this blog. I started reading the poems, and suddenly I was back to my summer vacations, reading "Idgah", "Do Bailon ki Katha", "Shatranj Ke Khiladi". Thanks for very nice collection

I totally relate to what you have said. Infact just reading your blog I felt so refreshed.

But it is on you to keep that KV of ISM alive.We all age. We all move on. And sometimes we dont get enough opportunities to do the things which we used to do in college..........

......parantu I feel you should never allow that child inside you to die. That enthu and fire needs to be burning all the time. And if life doesnt present you enough opportunities to relive your old days and provide a vent to your enthu....You go and find opportunities to do so!!

Enough gyaan now- but typed it in 1 minute flat :)

Good stuff!

The aging is so gradual that we don't realize it. It's only when we stop and look back that we find out that those were different times.
