Breaking The Silence of The Seas

When I think about my early youth , I find that it was vociferous with ideas and literary meetings and the evenings of poetry . I used to attend the weekly meetings of 'Sahityanchal' and rather kept looking forward to it . Its presidentship had been perhaps long held by Mr Raghunath Prasad Vikal , a pen-friend of Harivamsh Ray Bachchan (both of them now out of the world of the mortals) and it was a haunt of people of different opinions ,of different resolutions who shared only one common and essential thing 'literature' . Several lines of poems heard over there(in those poetic meets) I remember even today . Ramashraya Bhaiya's ' Jangjoo juganoo huey hain roshani ke naam par ' and Mr Karunesh's 'Ek jindagi le leti hai, ek jindagi dene mein, ek gajal poori hone mein poori ek umar loote ' and many other words of many others who used to come still ring in my ears in spite of the noisy life of today and I remember the Solitary Reaper of Wordsworth .
