Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

મનમાં બનાયા મહેલમાં




_________________________________________________________________________________
બંદી
મનમાં બનાયા મહેલમાં
હુંજ બંદી .

જાતે ઘડેલી ,
સોહામણા સ્વપ્નો તણી
જંજીરો ,
પગમાં પડી ;

લઇ તંત બારીક
ઊર્મિના ,
વણી જાળ માછીમાર ,
ચાલ્યો હલેસા માર
મઝધાર ,

જકડવા મત્સ્યગંધા ;

સરી ગઈ જળપરી
'ને
જાળ ખુદને જકડી રહી .

=======================================================================

In a Palace Built in The Mind

 

Captive

In a palace built in the mind

I am a prisoner.

 

self-made,

Sweet dreams

chains,

Fell in the leg;

 

Take fiber finely

Urmina,

net fisherman,

Halesa Mar went on

Mazdhar,

 

Jakdwa Matsyagandha ;

 

The mermaid fell

'Ne

The trap was holding itself.
