THE BOOK of this HOUR!

Recently, everyone seems to be writing a book - with their dark fantasies about sex and other tempting sins, or some fake strange stories from the noted campuses. All this 'book-rush' made 'book-market' full of literally crass stories aimed at instant success and fame. Amidst all cacophony of sex-cum-love stories, a serious admirer of literature that could present a realistic facets of the society, could easily become disheartened. But thanks to Social Media, specially my huge twitter follower list, I came to know about this book  'RI - Homeland of Uncertainty -THE BOOK' and its writer Paulami DuttaGupta. Frankly speaking, I came to knew about the book first, as an award winning Khasi movie , is based on it. 'Ri – Homeland of Uncertainty' (2013), was awarded as the best Khasi film in the 61st National Film Awards.

ये कहाँ आ गए हम यूँ ही चलते चलते।

जमाना हो गया जमाने को देखते देखते,  कभी दिन ढलते, कभी मौसम बदलते...  किन-किनका का बोझ लिए जिया जाये, जिंदगी भी थकी जाती हैं यूँ चलते चलते।  कल आने का एहसास भी अब खास नहीं,  बहुत दिन हो गए, यूँ आज को ढलते-ढलते। सर्द मौसम का असर है न, बसंत का इंतज़ार,  अब बरसों हो गए मौसम बदलते-बदलते।  सब रंगो कर रस अब ऐसे ही जान लेते हैं,  ये कहाँ आ गए हम यूँ ही चलते चलते।   कई रंग देखे लोगों के ऐसे ही मिलते मिलते,  कभी साथ साथ चलते, कभी बगल से निकलते... ~ अमित श्रीवास्तव, 5 जनवरी 2015 लखनऊ, भारत।
