Rainy world by -Minu Jasdanwala

 Rainy world.

-Minu Jasdanwala 



My patch of land does not have

tall oaks or yew trees around me.

It has a little swing for two

and a blank wall like slate across it. 


I have tall Mast trees

on which I conduct 

gentle nail scratching like squirrels :

a failed attempt to enter the tree bark.  


There is no battle of music 

between rain beats on the roof

and a cow bell jingling in the breeze.

Beautifully they compliment. 


My swing is controlled 

up and down I go.

Up and down again. 

I have mastered this meditation. 


The rain and tea excite my godown of memories,

the pen inks them

and the obedient blank paper

welcomes everything.


I have swing,

I have music.

I have memories,

I have words.


I have imagination, 

I have rain.

I am not generous 

to give away any.

  5. ઉપર્યુક્ત કવિતામાં લેખક પોતાની વર્ષા સમયે ઉત્પન્ન થતી સંવેદનાઓને કાવ્ય સ્વરૂપે દર્શાવે છે. કવિ તે સમયે સર્જાયેલા પ્રાકૃતિક સૌંદર્ય ને ખૂબ જ માળે છે. તેઓ કહે છે કે મારી ફરતે ઘણાં બધાં મોટા વૃક્ષો છે.સંગીત અને વરસાદ ની વચ્ચે કોઈ પણ પ્રકારનો battle નથી. આ વાતાવરણ ને જોઈને મારું ડોલનું (ઝૂકવું) રોકી શકતો નથી. ઉપર થી નીચે હું ડોલતો જ રહું છું અહીંયા તેઓ કેટલા ખુશ એ જોવા મળે છે. વરસાદના આ વાતાવરણમાં ચા સાથે તેમને કેટલીક જૂની યાદો તેમને યાદ આવે છે. પેન અને કાગળ વરસાદ નું સ્વાગત કરી રહ્યા હોય તેવું લાગેછે. કવિને આ સમયે પોતાના ગીત, જૂની યાદો, કલ્પનાઓ, આ વરસાદ ને કારણે તેમને બધું જ ખૂબ જ સુંદર લાગે છે. અંત માં કવિ કહે છે કે હું એટલો બધો ઉદાર નથી કે કંઈ આપી શકું . આમ, કવિ પ્રકૃતિ સાથે થયેલો અનુભવ ખૂબ જ સુંદરતાથી આલેખન કરે છે. અંતિમ પંક્તિ માં તેઓ પ્રકૃતિ એ આપેલ ભેટ નો આભાર વ્યક્ત કરે છે પરંતુ તે કંઈ આપી શકતા નથી એવું કહે છે ત્યાં જ તેમનું बड्डपन દેખાઈ આવે છે.

  11. When I read this poem I am the part of this poem. The poet shows the shower of rainy memories. His memories like tea, pen, paper, inks etc.He is very kind because he accepts that he doesn't give anymore.
