Paridhi, meaning circumference, is a collection of poems, in Hindi. Writing humorous poems, is quite common. Particularly, during the Corona outbreak-and more so justifiably-humor in poems, in all languages saw definite rise. However, serious poetry, requiring introspection, are not common. Collections of poems in Paridhi, however, belong to the latter category.
Ravinder Sahi, is a scientist-engineer and still in service, as Senior Director of ETDC, Mohali, Punjab, under Government of India, Meity. It is remarkable she has written this book, in spite of her occupation and nature of work.
The title, Paridhi, must have been given after lot of introspection. A person’s life is governed by many events, experiences, and so many factors-with and without individual’s efforts. So, somehow, he/she goes through the life journey -which Sahi thinks following a Paridhi. May be this will roll in to bigger circles, in her future collections. Not that the actions that an individual takes are repetitive, on the contrary, poems in Paridhi, requires introspection from time to time.
The book’s organization is unique: it clearly reflects innovation. The ‘Saptarishi’ formation of the stars, is shown as a format to correlate with the main sections.
The sections have been organised, with relevance to author’s perception, her place, in the universe-then relating to her with life, her values, beliefs, love, and finally, as a Bliss! Even the individual section maps the subject ideas, with reference to the ‘Saptarishi’ star formation!
The author is well versed with Urdu words and has frequently used them beautifully.
Each poem has a philosophical idea, or a dilemma to pose.
