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,

રિસામણાં ? -

My cousin , Nanakbhai Meghani was a very empathizing / sentimental human being

Following is a poetic letter that he wrote to me on 

15  April  1955 ,

( apparently when I must not have written to him for a long time ! )

Here, he tried to figure out " why ", in his own way !

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

માનીશ , ભાઈલા  ? 
ન જાણ્યું ખીજ શું , ખોફ શું , ખટકો ;

રિસામણાં ? -

શું જોત , ભલા , કદી જો લઇ શકતો !

'દુર્ગ દુર્ભેદ્ય કામગરાપણા નો ...
વાહ , યાર , ઠીક સૂઝે છે ઠઠ્ઠા  !
જાણ્યો શું એવો અપલખ્ખાણાંનો  ---
કરું આફૂડી આફૂડી કટ્ટા  ?

આદત , અરે , આતો પેલી પુરાણી  !
તુંથી , ભલા , હજુ એ અજાણી ?

તા. ક .

અરે , હઈશ જોઈ અહીં શું થંભ્યો  ?
હાય , ધૂની ! ભીંત સમૂળી ભુલ્યો !

કરવા સર ચાલ્યો કૈં બડી ઉપાધિ :
મોડી ભલે લઉં જરી પીઠ થાબડી !      

=========================================
Decorations?

 

Do you believe, brother?

I did not know what irritation, fear, shock;

 

Decorations? -

 

If you see, well, if you can take it!

 

'Durga dharbhedya kamagrapana no...

Wow, man, it sounds like a joke!

Did you know what kind of nonsense ---

Karun Afudi Afudi Katta?

 

Habit, hey, that's old!

From you, well, still a stranger?

 

Dt. K.

 

Hey, Haish Joi, what stopped here?

Hi, mad! Completely forgot the wall!

 

Karwa Sir Chalyo Kain Badi Upadhi :

Even if it's late, I'll be back!
