“मैं सदा संसार से लड़ता रहा हूँ , बस यही है हार मुझको , जीत मुझको . कौन कहता है की आधी रात को मैं बैठ शब्दों के तुकों को जोड़ता हूँ , भावना के भेद को जो है दबाये ; सत्य में , उन पत्थरों को तोड़ता हूँ आग निकले या की जल की धार निकले, राग मधुमय या करुण चीत्कार निकले ,...

मैं गाता हूँ ,
इस लिए जवानी मेरी है .
मैंने दुःख सुख हर हालत में गाना जाना ,
मुझको जीवन का भार सदा श्रृंगार हुआ ,
वो कुचला करता है उनको ही रागों में
अपने अनुभव को बाँध नहीं जो पाते है ;
यौवन जिसका है तान वही भर सकता है
लेकिन मैं तो कुछ उलटी कर दिखलाता हूँ -
मैं गाता हूँ इसलिए...

Death in its darkness overtakes and clouds us all ..
An association of 44 years abruptly comes to an end. He went away too soon and too suddenly. He deserved to be with us longer. Yash Chopra, a friend first, a creative legend later, has passed away this evening in the late...
DAY 1647
Jalsa, Mumbai Oct 20/21, 2012 Sat/Sun 3 : 44 AM
First off, I am well and in good shape. I should have known better what the Ef goes through when I mention my condition. My comments require restraint and care in its deliverance.

“The happy man is not he who seems thus to others, but who seems thus to himself.”
