BlueRose Publishers Presents 'Ankahi' by Suchi Shukla

WHO AM I?
This perennial question which has haunted mankind since times immemorial has intrigued me too. Not a day passes when I do not think about it. Born and brought up in a normal middle-class Brahmin family where both my parents were Government servants, I had a plethora of experiences and exposure to all kinds of worldly knowledge. Being eldest of all the three siblings, I was to be mature and responsible even when I was a child myself.
What it means to have a mother who is a teacher is an experience beyond words. The basic and forever loathed emotions of discipline, accountability and integrity flow and blow around you and you have no way out but to breathe them – sink in them. Not only that if you have a father who is morally upright even though he is a Central Government employee – you had it all. You grow up amongst people who are indifferent to their work and those who slog their way out behind piles and piles of work (courtesy indifferent people). One such man was my father- righteous and ready to sacrifice his pleasure for the comfort of others.
To add to this enchanting experience there were creative and ingenious ways my brother and sister. They never had enough money or stationery to cater to their needs, hence, the only solution was to demand help from me and if denied then steal! The easy way out! So I grew up to be a responsible (mildly dominating) twenty-one year old. Phew!

मैं ........
मैं ये भी हूँ और वो भी हूँ
सब कुछ हूँ और कुछ भी नहीं हूँ |

मैं अनंत अपरिमित विस्तृत आकाश हूँ
या एक नन्हे से दिल की सिमटी सी आस हूँ |

मैं अमावस की रात की गहरी काली स्याही हूँ
या फिर उषा की किरणों की सुनहरी लाली हूँ |

मैं रेगिस्तान में एक बूँद की मृगतृष्णा हूँ
राम की सीता तो राधा का मैं कृष्णा हूँ |

मैं अबोध बालक की निर्दोष मुस्कान हूँ
या हर नारी का गौरव और स्वाभिमान हूँ |

मैं कुरान की आयत और गीता का उपदेश हूँ
वसुधैव कुटुम्ब की भावना का समावेश हूँ |

मैं धुंधली सी शाम की मद्धिम सी कुहासा हूँ
या जीवन युद्ध में कभी न हारने वाली आशा हूँ |

मैं एक शब्द में सिमट जाने वाली कथा हूँ
या अनवरत – निरंतर चलने वाली गाथा हूँ |
मैं – मैं हूँ|

Love Story Of A Soldier By Anurag Yadav

Pride of the Nation As our ears hear the word ‘soldier’, our mind creates a picture of a person dressed in the uniform with a gun in his hands and head wrapped in a shroud. Different people have different opinions and views regarding the life of soldiers. People say being soldier is a profession. Some people even say that soldiers are born to die but here I’m totally against those people. They are not born to die; however, they are dying for those people who are saying such words. The sacrifice of their life for the nation and its people is more than enough to state that being soldier is not a profession but it’s an attitude and way of living life with gratitude. Present scenario of international borders reveals that the soldiers are the only people which are saving us from the international threats. They fought and get wounded but still wear every wound with a smile on their faces. Their marvellous job deserves respect for them. Everyone should feel pride and their heart shoul
