About this ebook
FOREWORD
'The Sun On Paper'is my English Version of selective poems in Rajasthani and Hindi, originally composed by Late Sh.Om Purohit 'Kagad'.
Om Purohit 'Kagad, an educationist, poet, author and critic, both in Rajasthani and Hindi was an absolutely dedicated person to the cause of upliftment of Rajasthani. He wished to bring transformation in society and through his literary works massively attacked chaos prevailing in society and obsolete customs dominating society and hindering its progress. His poems cover a wide range of topics on burning issues. His poems are an expression of a human-being with a deep will to survive, to struggle and invoke others to struggle for change and to build a new society , full of hopes and aspirations. Perpetually interacting with life and the world, he established himself as a distinguished poet.
He invoked masses to break shackles of old traditions and create new landmarks. But, Alas!, he could not accomplish his cherished goals due to his untimely demise in 2016, at the age of 57.
Blossoms of affinity
Bloom on plant of pang
Whether these blossoms persist or wither Their sweet memories
Shed fragrance in the orchard of life.
I pray to Almighty that May his half cherished will to survive gets an accomplishment when 'The Sun On Paper' reaches voracious readers and his poems stir their mind!
Om Purohit 'Kagad ' was my facebook friend for nearly three years and chanced to meet him only once in life, when from Hanumangarh, he visited me in Bikaner at my residence. He presented me. Kagaz Pr Suraj' his latest Poetry Book in Hindi and 'Bhoht Andharo Hai' Poetry Book in Rajasthani. He expressed his wish to get these poems translated by me into English. I am an ardent fan of his poetry. I assured him that I will do it in near future.
His poems are enriched with deep perception, lofty ideas , sensibility and straightforwardness. I have put my best efforts to retain the soul of his poems, while translating in English. These poems, I have selected from his poetry books 'Dhoop Kyon Chedtee Hai', 'Kagaz Pr Suraj' and from Kavit Kosh. This task would not have been possible without consent and kind support of his wife, Shrimati Bhagvati Purohit and two loving daughter Bharati Vyas and Ankita Purohit. 'Dhoop Kyon Chedhtee Hai' was single copy available with Bhagwati Ji which she readily made available to me for utilizing for translation. Reputed literary icon, Dr. Neeraj Daiya, is also a motivational source behind this project.
English Version of these poems will also enhance chances of its further getting translated in other Indian as well as international languages.
I extend my heartiest gratitude to Mr. Sanjeev Kumar, reputed poet and Publisher of India Netbooks, for his constant association. This is my ninth book getting published from India Netbooks.
Reviews and comments from dear readers are always appreciable. Thanks in anticipation.
