Prateeksha

The joy of waiting, expressed by Harivansh Rai 'Bachhan' in this lovely poem Prateeksha. Very nicely done.

Have to agree - Jo Maza Intezaar Mein Hai, Woh Deedar-E-Yaar Mein Nahin.

Some More By Bachhan

A few more classics by Bachhan senior. Probably, he was feeling a bit low and lonely. That mood gets reflected over here.

A Poem by 'Bachhan'

Till now in my blog, works by legendery Harivansh Rai 'Bachhan' have been conspicous by their absence. His works have been much read and publicised, so it's highly likely you may be well versed with them. Still, we can refurbish our memories.

This poem is special. The philosphy is age old - How not to dwell on past, but treatment is original. It's difficult to believe that he has done MA and PhD in English, rather than Hindi.
