“Father has a strengthening character like the sun and mother has a soothing temper like the moon.”
― Wealth of Words
― Wealth of Words
“Poetry emerging from a poet enters into the reader only when it comes within the readers’ 'sphere of intellect. A reader cannot take poetry by expanding it beyond his/her consciousness, rather can take by shrinking it within. Thus, there exists a chance of every poem getting changed while reaching every reader. This ‘getting changed’ is a form of ‘getting translated’, in a way. So, every assimilation of any poem is a translation.”
― भारत शाश्वत आवाज [Bharat Shashwat Aawaz]
