तुम मेरी कविता में आओ

-
तुम मेरी कविता में आओ
शायद इसको ढंग मिले
तुम मेरी कविता में आओ
सादे कागज को रंग मिले

तुम मेरे व्यवहार में आओ
अधिकार नहीं, प्यार में आओ
तुम जब मेरी हार में आओ,
वो भी बनके मलंग , मिले

तुम मेरे दिवसों में आओ
बहो मुझमें , नसों में आओ
नीरसता में ; रसों में आओ
तब ही तो फिर उमंग मिले

तुम मेरे अभिप्राय में आओ
सही गलत के न्याय में आओ
आओ उनमें, जो सच झूट की,
है संकरी गलियां , तंंग . मिलें.

तुम मेरे अतीत में आओ,
जो ना मानी , उस रीत में आओ
तुम मेरे संगीत में आओ
तब इसको मृदंग मिले

तुम मेरे अपनों में आओ
इस मन के सदनों में आओ
तुम मेरे सपनो में आओ
फिर फिर इन्हे पतंग मिले.

तुम मेरे अभिनय में आओ
निर्मोही इस भय में आओ
समय मिले फिर ह्रदय में आओ
बिसरा मुझको अंग मिले.
---- सालगिरह मुबारक हो Himani Kumar

To my first two teachers - my Parents

-
My mother and father were my first teachers. I am grateful to be born to such kind, simple and empowering souls. They brought us 5 kids with aplomb in the limited resources we had. They taught us simple but powerful lessons in life through their actions. Today on teachers day, I am reminded of their main mantras which I will try to pass on to Dhaani. 1. Never Cheat or use unfair means -  It sounds so obvious thing to do. Everyone would teach their children not to cheat and use unfair means. But what is important is to practice and not to preach. During my childhood, I saw my parents practicing it. It only helped that we saw some others practicing the opposite. My father was a simpleton who never used unfair means in life. That other people and his close relatives used unfair means to take benefit out of him, is another story. He never reciprocated. We as children at times questions this one-sided goodness. But today I know that whatever you do in life, good or bad, always co...

Divine Intervention

They say that you don't have any control over your life, destiny has its own way of planning things for you. We were to see the example of this saying for ourselves very soon. It was January of 2016. We had started to think about extending our family. Around the end of the month, we got to know of tragic news. Himani s nanaji was diagnosed with cancer.  Nanaji was a self-made man who brought up his 5 children as a single parent ( naniji had demised when children were very young). And he doted on his grandchildren, especially girls. He was a living example of how daughters are to be celebrated and encouraged and not considered a liability. He ensured that all his children and grandchildren get educated and brought up well. He always stood like a rock behind his children in the ups and downs of life. His daughters also reciprocated the love equally and I have always admired the father-daughter relationship he had with his daughters. Nanaji s initial diagnosis was done in Bena...

The two worlds

-
Dear Dhaani, You are 2 years and 7 months today. Come next year, and you will start attending school. And thus will begin a new chapter in your life. The thing that i am going to write to you today about will not make much sense to you  in your initial years at the school, but i think it is important for you to understand this as you grow up. You my dear, like every other child on this planet are blessed to be born with an inherent connection with your inner self. This connection is what makes a child so special and innocent. This is what we adults miss in ourselves and other adults when we see you children being so pious and pristine. I believe there is one prime reason for this. As we grow up, we start focussing only on our outer world and forget the world inside of us, our inner world. Today i want to talk to you about these two worlds.  The outer world as you have already started noticing is the world which the god has created, and we humankind, have modifie...
