Continued from part one…
Dear All,
When we visited Binduji’s home for personal interview, her house was covered with full of awards certificates and credentials. Her home was like a small historical and memorable museum. Binduji is multi talented, बहुमुखी-versatile, performer-actor, stand-up comedian singer, tabla-dagga player and film lyricist…
Then I came to know Binduji is connected to ‘VishwaHindi Samiti’ and their ‘Saurabh’ magazine. Immediately I remember late Rameshwar Saxena alias Rameshwar Ashantji who was a founding member of the same. Guess what, he was our good friend. I was a designer of ‘VishwaHindi Samiti’ and their magazine ‘Saurabh’ along with their logo and symbol during mid 1980. It was a small world..!
in North India… 3) She was honored Go-Gras award in Vrundavan, Mathura… 4) She was honored at International
Shity Kala in Dubai…
We had a chance to attend Kavi Sammelan (poetry recitation) at Hindu Center, flushing, organized by Dr. Mehta and Dr. Bindu Aggarwal. Local poets, including Priyanka Tripathi, Nayana Nigliye, Rajnish Sharma, Mangla Sand, Purnima Desai, Jagdish Awasthi, and Dr. Bijoy Mehta, captivated the audience with their poetic expressions. There I presented Vishwa Hindi Samiti my original old designs and connection of their founder late RamSaxena alias Ashantji. Everyone was stunned and amazed…
I asked Binduji about her entry in India Home. She said, “Jayantji, I was feeling lonely after my husband’s demise. Then, during in the pandemic, a friend introduced me to India Home. The atmosphere instantly won me over. The most precious aspect is the friendships I’ve built: sharing stories, laughter, and experiences with fellow members has created a sense of belonging I deeply cherish.”
Her poem published in World Hindi Database:
यह कैसा अमरीका है
सब साधन संम्पन्न यंहा फिर भी मन सूना-सूना है.
मन में कितना सूनापन है यह कैसा अमरीका है|
मातृ -भूमि को छोड़ यंहां मैं विमान चढ़ कर आयी थी,
कितनी ही स्म्रतियों को मैं मन में संजो कर लायी थी |
इस अमरीका की धरती पर फिर अपनें याद बहुत आए ,
पछ्तानें से क्या होता सब कुछ तो वह्नी छोड़ आए |
कितनी है मनमोहक दुनिया फिर भी मन सूना-सूना है |
मन में कितना सूना पन है यह कैसा अमरीका है |
एक स्वप्न था अमरीका में भारत नया बनानें का,
अपनें देश की महिमा की ध्वजा यंहा फहराने की |
भारत की संस्कृति को जन मानस तक पहुचानें की .
वेद और गीता के सार को हर घर तक ले जानें की|
लेकिन सब कुछ है विपरीत यंहां पर न संस्कृति न गीता है.
मन में कितना सूना पन है यह कैसा अमरीका है|
सोचा था अमरीका जाकर मैं कुबेर बन जाउंगी .
अपना निज का ले विमान फ़िर वतन लौट कर जाउंगी|
कंही वृक्ष पर डालर होंगे उन्हें तोड़ ले जाउंगी ,
डालर वृक्ष का छोटा पौधा अपनें आँगन में लगाउंगी |
डालर वृक्ष नहीं दिखता है यह कैसा अमरीका है ?
मन में कितना सूना पन है यह कैसा अमरीका है |
I showed Binduji our India Home members first published poetry book ‘Sentiments’, she was not known but, was impressed. Since India Home is growing very well and has many talented members, I thought It would be appropriate India Home should think over to publish second edition of ‘Sentiments’ with Binduji’s help to fulfilled their sentiments…
We wish Binduji all the best and good luck with healthy life ahead.
Last but not the least, thanks to Binduji for her help and cooperation, truly appreciated.
Best regards,
Jayant & Veena.
Sharing is Caring…
