अगर सुनानी तो नानू बस झट सुना दो एक कहानी देर करोगे तो सच कहती अभी बुलाती हूँ मैं नानी
बोली डोलू बहुत ’बिजी‘ हूँ तुम तो नानू बिल्कुल खाली कितने काम पड़े हैं मुझको नहीं मैं ज्यादा रुकने वाली
टीवी अभी देखना मुझको होम वर्क अभी करना है कम्प्यूटर पर अभी खेलना फोन सहेली से करना है
नानू इसीलिए कहती हूँ झट कहानी मुझे सुनाओ चली गई तो पछताओगे मत इतना नानू इतराओ
नहीं आऊँगी नानू फिर मैं चॉकलेट भी अगर दिखाओ शुरू करो अब शुरू करो न चलो कहानी अभी सुनाओ।
सोचूँगी नानू हैं बुद्धू अगर सुनाई नहीं कहानी पुस्तक से ही पढ़ लूँगी मैं एक नई से नई कहानी।

The Poet
Divik Ramesh
1946 · 1980s
Divik Ramesh occupies a highly respected position in Hindi literature as a writer who treats both adult and children's poetry with equal intellectual rigor. Born Ramesh Chand Sharma in 1946 in Delhi, he dedicated his career to teaching while simultaneously building a vast and diverse body of literary work. He writes with a profound awareness of social inequalities and the quiet anxieties of modern urban life. His poetry collections, such as Khuli Aankhon Mein Aakash and Raste Ke Beech, are marked by a straightforward honesty that refuses to hide behind complex metaphors. Beyond his poetry for adults, he has made an immense contribution to children's literature, a field often overlooked by serious writers. Recognizing this lifelong dedication, he was awarded the Sahitya Akademi Bal Sahitya Puraskar in 2018. He has also translated extensively, building cultural bridges between Indian and South Korean literature. He is a writer who believes that literature must remain accessible, compassionate, and deeply rooted in human empathy.

Paired Painting
Parsi Girl
This touching creation by Pestonji Bomanjee captures a quiet, intimate moment of childhood innocence within the Parsi community. The young girl stands with a gentle, inquisitive gaze, pointing playfully at a sketch on the wall, bridging the tender world of youth with the artistic process unfolding around her. Bomanjee, celebrated for his mastery of academic realism and keen eye for cultural detail, treats the ornate textiles and traditional garments with profound reverence, rendering a warm and lifelike tribute to heritage, domestic life, and the quiet dignity of everyday existence.
