WORLD! MY SON STARTS SCHOOL TODAY....

World! Take my child by the hand-he starts school today!

It is all going to be strange and new to him for a while and I wish u could sort of treat him gently.You see,up to now, he has been king of the roost.He has been boss of the backyard.I have always been around to repair his wounds and I have always been handy to soothe his feelings.

But now things are going to be different.This morning he is going to walk down the front steps,wave his hand and start on a great adventure that probably will include wars and tragedy and sorrow.

To live in this world will require faith and love and courage.So world, I wish you would sort of take him by his hand and teach him the things he will have to know. Teach him-but gently, if you can.He will have to learn, I know, that all people are not just-That all men and women are not true. Teach him that for every scoundrel ,there's a hero.For every enemy there is a friend.

Teach him the wonders of book.Give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky,bees in the sun and flowers on a green hill.Teach him that it is far more honourable to fail than to cheat.Teach him to have faith in his own ideas,even if everyone tells him they are wrong.

Try to give my son the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone is getting on the bandwagon.Teach him to listen to others,but to filter all he hears on a screen of truth and to take only the good that comes through.

Teach him never to put a price tag on his heart and soul.Teach him to close his ears on howling mob-and to stand and fight if he think he is right. Teach him gently,World ,but do not coddle him ,because only the test of fire makes steel.

This is a big order,World, but see what you can do.He is such a nice son.

the poem i admire and recite thousands of times and still it tantalizes my sense anew.every time i read it,its a new experience

RAAT AADHI..(Harivanshrai Bachchan)

raat aadhi, kheench kar meri hatheli
ek ungli se likha tha pyaar tumne..

faasla tha kuch hamare bistaron mein,
aur charo ore duniya so rahi thi.
tarikaain hee gagan jaanti hain
jo dasha dil kee tumhare ho rahi thi.
main tumhare paas ho kar door tum se
adh jaga sa aur adh soya hua sa....

raat aadhi ,kheench kar meri hatheli
ek ungli se likha tha pyaar tumne...


ek bijli chhoo gayee sehsa jaga mein
krishna pakshi chand nikla tha gagan mein.
is tarah karvat padi thi tum ki aansoo
beh rahe they is nayan se us nayan mein.
main laga doon aag us sansar mein
hain pyaar jis mein is tarah asamarth-kaatar...

jaanti ho us samay kya kar guzarne
ke liye tha kar diya tayyar tumne....

raat aadhi ,kheench kar meri hatheli
ek ungli se likha tha pyar tumne....


praatah hee ki ore ko hai raat chalti
aur ujale mein andhera doob jaata.
manch hee poora badalta kaun aisee
khoobiyo ke saath parde ko uthata.
ek chehra sa laga tumne liya tha,
aur maine tha utara ek chehra.
woh nisha ka swapna mera tha,kee apne
par gazab ka tha kiya adhikar tumne...

raat aadhi, kheench kar meri hatheli
ek ungli se likha tha pyaar tumne...

aur utne faasle par aaj tak...
sau yatan karke bhi na aaye phir kabhi hum.
phir na aaya waqt vaisa ,
phir na mauka us tarah ka,
phir na lauta chaand nirmam.
aur apni vedna main kya batau?
kya nahi yeh panktiya khud bolti hain?
bujh nahi paaya abhi tak,us samay jo
rakh diya tha haath par angaar tumne..

raat aadhi kheench kar meri hatheli
ek ungli se likha tha pyaar tumne...
