जन्मदिन
‘‘मैंने खिलती कली से पूछा,
तुम भी क्या अपना जन्मदिन मनाती हो ?
वह जवाब देते हुए मुस्कुराकर बोली
आज आई हूँ और आज ही जाना है
जीवन में समय की अहमियत को समझना और
समझाना है
मेरा काम तो बस तुम्हारे कुछ पलों को महकाना है,
तुम्हारे चेहरे पर मुस्कुराहट को लाना है
और तुम्हारे जीवन को रंगो से सजाना है।
मुझे मुस्कुराता देख, वह भी खिल गई
अपनी खुशी को मेरे और हम सभी के नाम कर गई।’’

When she is a child, she grows up in proximity to Nature and her creatures that inspire her. As she grows older the town becomes more industrialised. There is a conflict about the old natural environment and the new industrial world. Her life also faces the same conflict of remaining innocent and pure like the childhood and growing up as a youth. She struggles to solve the conflict. Her childhood memories want the natural environment to be restored but her youth seeks change and new opportunities. She realises that the conflict of her own life are similar to that of Nature. She resolves those conflicts when Nature makes her realise that freedom is also about the responsibility.

A poem from the book- celebrating nature

Bountiful Nature

In nature, all aspects are intertwined

To each other they bind

Generating poetry in an inspired mind.

The flowing waters of the river

Always striving forward,

Let thoughts be progressive, profound

Their implications and meanings wider.

The flight of the seagull into the skies, steeply soaring

The sounds of the ocean, resoundingly roaring

In the vast skies, the flocks of geese

Beautiful and perfect in themselves are these.

The finesse in movement of nature’s every creature

With their beautiful and colourful features

The dance of the peacock in the rains

Lessons and celebration of life together as gains.

The songs of the nightingale

The streams flowing through the dales

Along with the soft whispers of winds

The music of nature, beautifully blends.

The blooming of a bud into a flower

The mountains appearing like big natural towers

The softness of the flower and hardness of a rock

All aspects of knowledge,

Together in nature they flock.

The growing of a body

The building of the nature from all the sand

Takes all the time

Yet when made,

Everything looks so beautiful and fine.

Nature has plenty to teach

We just have to seek and search

And to learn the wisdom which

Through the ages,

Nature continues to preach.

In nature, all aspects are wonderful and divine

They teach us lessons sublime Purpose, meaning and beauty all combined.
