Jyoti Malhotra

Rishton Kee Dhoop-Chhaanv Jyoti Malhotra

Our life makes us go through various kinds of experiences. Every situation narrates a tale and each relationship becomes a character in the story and makes its own contribution. Sometimes we see different characteristics of the same person. At times, he makes us laugh and at other moments, he causes immense pain.

These subtle feelings tickle us sometimes and anguish us at others. The heart becomes restless during some moments and at others, gets completely absorbed in the thoughts of the beloved. At times, it gets drenched in the ambrosia of love and at others, it gets converted into the deadly poison 'Halahal' that has the ability to destroy the entire universe.

Whether it is nectar or poison, both of them require a vessel to contain them. In the same way, I have attempted to pour the liquids inside my heart into the containers of my poems. I have made an attempt to translate my innermost sensations into words and presented them for you. I hope that these dialogues of my heart will touch your heart and you will relate to them like your own personal experiences.

Maybe, the readers find some Hindi words to be difficult to understand. And that might create a break in relishing the poems. Keeping that in mind, an English narrative has been provided along with every couplet.
