Patradoot Or the Messenger 33 /Many

Patradoot or The Messenger33 /Many English version by Ravindra K Kapoor Originally written in Hindi by my Late father Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor A little garden you will find, in front of my house, Full of beautiful plants and fragrance spreading creepers, Its enchanting smell would force you to stop for a while, And its loveliness would keep fascinating you, dear letter. This lovely garden is the creation of my father*, dear, Who has put his labor and efforts to make it, so beautiful, That it’s a joy to be among the green plants and creepers, His garden speaks and enchants every one, dear letter. The sad green plants of the garden without flowers, Would narrate the state of sadness of the dwellers, And it’s bending branches and tree twigs would convey, The agonies and worries of my beloved’s heart, dear letter. Here you would also meet, my lovely little daughter, dear letter, When you see her playing among the plants and trees, And you will get a chance to listen her broken melodies, She would be mumbling, while playing with her friend trees. My sweet little daughter Krishna, is a lovely delicate child, She is the beloved of our hearts, hardly twenty four months old, Krishna is charming, beautiful and alert like lightening, To catch your attention, immediately, dear letter.

What a beautiful legacy your father has left you in these works. When he speaks of his daughter Krishna is he speaking of you or a sister? His poetry has a lovely flow and awareness of the beauty that surrounds him in the simplest of gifts of nature. Very lovely Ravindra. Mahalo, Connie
