Ep. 15: Boodhi Buddhimaan Bakri (बूढ़ी बुद्धिमान बकरी - शिवानी)

This is a story written by Shivani (also known as Gaura Pant). Shivani usually writes serious stories of life but she has written some adorable stories for kids. This is one such stories from Shivani's book - Radhika Sundari. I have added a little bit of drama in the story.

शिवानी (गौरा पंत) वैसे तो गंभीर कहानियाँ लिखती हैं लेकिन उनकी बाल कहानियाँ भी बहुत मनोरंजक हैं और ये कहानी है एक बूढ़ी किंतु बुद्धिमान बकरी की, जो शिवानी के कहानी संग्रह "राधिका सुंदरी" से ली गई है। बस मैंने इसमें थोड़ा सा "ड्रामा" भी मिला दिया है ;-)

This poem is an ode to the Hibiscus flower, that comes in so many colors, has a short life, and even in that transient life, never fails to attract.

रिमझिम बारिश में भीग रहा,

मैं घूम घूम के झूम रहा,

मेरी पंखुड़ियाँ लहराती,

बूँदें भी मुझ पर थम जाती,

मैं श्वेतवर्ण, मैं स्निग्ध स्पर्श,

मैं क्षण भंगुर, मैं हूँ गुड़हल....

A hibiscus flower is a flame kindled by morning, a passionate declaration of life against the indifferent sky. Its petals, like silken banners, unfurl in radiant surrender to the sun's embrace. A splash of crimson against the green canvas of the world, it is a masterpiece painted with sunlight and dew. More than just a flower, it is a symbol, a siren song that lures the eye and captures the heart.

All of us love to question - our leaders, politicians, governments, which is fine in a healthy democracy, but are we trying to provide any answers at all? If this poem hurts the sentiments of some people – the poet is not at all apologetic. हाँ चलो, सवाल कर लेते हैं

इतने सालों से सवाल ही तो कर रहे हैं

कुछ और सवाल कर लेते हैं

कुछ सरकार से सवाल कर लेते हैं,

कुछ नेताओं से सवाल कर लेते हैं

सवाल का जवाब तो हमें नहीं आता

हाँ जवाब में सवाल करना खूब है भाता

इसलिए बस सवाल कर लेते हैं

हम सब को सवाल करने का तो खूब शौक है, लेकिन हम जवाब देने से क्यूँ इतना कतरा जाते हैं?
