BIG " B "

Photo: Wednesday Words ... From ‘Ekant Sangeet’ – The Music of Solitude I have not known peace and quiet and solace. There are some shortcomings inside of me. There are some short comings outside of me. But I have resolved that I shall condition both my inside and outside to be devoid of any fault or mistakes. For, I have not known peace and quiet and solace. A lifetime have I spent in putting effort. I am but at the same spot and so is the world. And I do sometimes think, has there been in me a childish juvenile behaviour. For, I have not known peace and quiet and solace. But why must I be disappointed with this. Is not my confident promise and assurance enough ? I may have accepted defeat from the world, but I have not accepted defeat with myself ! I have not known peace and quiet and solace. - Harivansh Rai Bachchan


Photo: FB 139 - Wednesday Words ... Translation are attempts in futility in the face of originals .. but some attempt shall be made to give an impression of what the poem in quote today form my Father's works depict .. "What are these bindings that you draw me towards you that I cannot stop myself from ... What is that kind of work that I cannot leave .. What that face that I cannot turn away from .. What be the meaning of the coming together of relationships .. What are those chains that I cannot break .. The sun and the moon shall ne'er be able to hold me down .. What be that temptation that they shall calm me with .. When I am myself not in control of myself, who's shall it be ? What are these bindings that you draw me towards you that I cannot stop myself from .." ~ Harivansh Rai bachchan
