Thing that makes the bell ring.

 "At one time most of my friends
could hear the bell.
But as years passed,
it fell silent for all of them.
...

Though I've grown old...
...the bell still rings for me.

As it does for all who truly believe."

(Excerpt from the script of movie "The Polar Express")

Poetic Scribblings: 30 Nov 2010

हर वक़्त ज़िन्दगीके,
दायरेपे खड़ा हूँ |
क्या पता किस कदम,
उसे लांघ जावूँ |

Ganesh Bagler(30 Nov 2010; Diary Notes)

Ask me

Ask me not where all I've been,

Ask me where do I come from;

Ask me not what all I've seen,

Ask me what I hold within.

                                     —Ganesh Bagler 

पुछो ना हमसे हम आयें कहाँसे,
पुछो नज़ारे क्या देखे हैं हमने;
ना पुछो क्या-क्या गुजरी हैं हमपे,
ये पुछो क्या-कुछ समेटा है हमने,
हर इक कदम पे.

                     —गणेश बागलेर
