तुम मुझे खून मत दो मैं तुम्हें आज़ादी दूँगा।
ऐसा न सुभाष ने कहा न गाँधी ने।
तब किसने कहा होगा?
मारा मारा फिरा उठाए इस प्रश्न के शव को कंधों पर
टटोल डाले सारे पन्ने अच्छे अच्छे दिमागों के
न बुश ने कहा, न पुतिन ने न मुशर्रफ ने कहा न सोनिया ने आखिर किसने कहा होगा?
उधेड़ डाली अनुभव की एक एक गुदड़ी छान डाला एक एक पंथ जवाब कहीं नहीं था पर । आखिर किसने कहा होगा?
अचानक सूझा कि किसी और ने नहीं मेरे मन ने कहा था यह। और वह भी बस एक नयी बात कहने के चक्कर में
मैंने उत्तर दिया 'मैंने कहा था`।
देखा प्रश्नकर्त्ता फिर अपनी जगह जा टंगा था।

The Poet
दिविक रमेश
Divik Ramesh

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.

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.

Ganesha Writing the Mahabharata upon Vyasa's Dictation
In the quiet stillness of a sacred hermitage, the great sage Vyasa sits in deep contemplation, gently dictating the eternal verses of the Mahabharata. Across from him, the divine elephant headed deity Lord Ganesha sits with profound grace, serving as the scribe for humanity. With a broken tusk in hand and infinite wisdom guiding his pen, Ganesha preserves the monumental epic on palm leaf manuscripts. This delicate yet powerful composition captures a cosmic collaboration, where mortal wisdom meets divine intellect, anchoring one of the greatest stories ever told into the fabric of time.
