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 collectionUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03927875854752322458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10924230.post-74758898411750777012009-01-12T12:30:00.000-05:002009-01-12T12:30:00.000-05:00Nice post, very nostalgic.

And sometimes we dont get enough opportunities to do the things which we used to do in college..........<BR/><BR/>......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!!<BR/><BR/>Enough gyaan now- but typed it in 1 minute flat :)Matiaoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04115577764264013079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10924230.post-35728970741368521622008-11-26T10:30:00.000-05:002008-11-26T10:30:00.000-05:00Good stuff!Good stuff!Harshadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006452826404109203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10924230.post-25873084999865528142008-11-15T16:13:00.000-05:002008-11-15T16:13:00.000-05:00The aging is so gradual that we don't realize it. ...The aging is so gradual that we don't realize it.
