Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

And miles to go before I sleep


Dear Amitabh ,


Every time , I feel like giving up , I look up the following for inspiration

regards,

hemen

वादे निभाने है

------------------

दूर दूर तक 
छाई है वनराई ,

घने वृक्षो की छाया से 
बुला रही है वनराई ,

"
ठहर जा 
   बंध कर आंखे
   घडीभर सो जा "

सोऊ तो कैसे ,

मुज़े जो वादे निभाने है ?

ठहरु भी तो कैसे ,

बाकी 
कुछ कदम भी उठाने है  ?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In these few lines , I have tried to capture the feelings of Robert Frost , who wrote in "
Leaves of Grass "  :


"  Woods are lovely

    Dark and deep,

    But I have promises to keep :

    And miles to go before I sleep

    And miles to go before I sleep  "
