The New Beginning

A Letter for My Son

क्योंकि हर अंत एक नया शुरुआत, क्योंकि हर पूर्णविराम के बाद एक नया सवाल, क्योंकि ख़ाली पन्ना अभी भी एक बोझ, क्योंकि लिखना ही एक कवि के लिए है इलाज।

Dear Advay, Now that your grandfather’s book is out. I am free. But I am stuck in a vaccum. And now I am ready to walk in another book. This will be my book. Something which is on my wishlist since a long time. So if you see me with the laptop it’s me yet again playingwith words. Trying to piece the puzzle together. And many years later when you search me again you will find me again in the same book. I know that you have not turned the pages of the book. One day you will have the urge to do the same. Because I believe for everything there is a correct time. You saw your mother delve deep in the poems and stories. You saw me stuck in memories. And maybe you knew that I don’t want to part with the book. It was not easy. But now when I see the book it’s different. Now when I hear stories about the same. I feel grateful. I feel blessed. I think more than the story its the storyteller who is more important and in the making of this book there are many. I just brought them together. I am waiting eagerly for you to walk in those pages. I am waiting because when you read there will be a new story . And maybe you will know that it was worth it.

Always writing. Your Mummy
