प्यार एक बेहद खूबसूरत अनुभूति है और इसका अहसास हमारे रोम-रोम में रोमांच भर देता है, जीने के प्रति और सजग कर देता है। हर पल एक खुमारी-सी छाई रहती है। उस वक्त सही- गलत कुछ समझ नहीं आता। बस एक ही व्यक्ति के आसपास जैसे सारी दुनिया सिमट आई हो। और कभी-कभी वह प्यार जुनून बन जाता है कि व्यक्ति फिर बस उसी में खुद को ढूँढ़ता है, फिर जैसे सारी कायनात उसे उसके साथी से मिलाने में लग जाती है। लेकिन कभी-कभी वही प्यार नफरत में बदल जाता है, जब उसे अपने ही साथी से अविश्वसनीय विश्वासघात मिलता है। कई बार ऐसा होता है कि न चाहते हुए भी हमें ऐसे निर्णय लेने पड़ते हैं, जिनके बारे में हम कभी सोच भी नहीं पाते, किंतु शायद वही हमारे लिए सबसे बेहतर होते हैं। हालाँकि जिंदगी कभी-कभी ऐसा मोड़ ले लेती है, जो हम कभी अपने विचारों या मजाक में भी नहीं सोच पाते। हमारे लिए भी कभी-कभी कुछ घटनाएँ अप्रत्याशित होती हैं। ऐसे ही दो लोगों की जिंदगी की कहानी है यह पुस्तक, जिन्होंने यह सोचा कि उनकी किस्मत में भगवान ने इन दो चीजों के अलावा—जोकि जीने के लिए सबसे जरूरी हैं—सब कुछ लिखा था। और उनसे कुछ भी सँभाला नहीं गया। उन्होंने अपनी नासमझियों की वजह से अपनी ही जिंदगी की कद्र नहीं की और फिर एक समय ऐसा आया कि एक फैसले ने सबकुछ बदल दिया।

‘ठक्कर बापा’ अद्भुत व्यक्तित्व के स्वामी थे। लोगों का कहना था कि वे अपने आप में एक संस्था थे। वे जिस युग में थे, वहाँ समाज के दुर्बल अंग की उपेक्षा की जा रही थी; तब बापा ने दलितों और पिछड़े वर्ग को साथ लेकर प्रगति का रास्ता पकड़ा। उनकी अडिग लोक-सेवा ने हर दीन-दुःखी और गरीब को सम्मान दिया और उन्हें सबका बापा बना दिया। राष्ट्रपिता बापू भी उन्हें बापा ही कहा करते थे। अपने जीवन के अंतिम क्षण तक जिस अपूर्व निष्ठा, अनन्य भक्ति व अथक परिश्रम से उन्होंने अपना सेवा-व्रत निभाया, वह निस्संदेह बेजोड़ कहा जा सकता है। बापा विनम्रता और सरलता की मूरत थे; जब काका कालेलकर ने उनसे लेखन के लिए कहा तो वे बोले, ‘‘मेरे जीवन में ऐसा कुछ नहीं है, जो लिखने लायक हो।’’ उन्हें भाषण देना नहीं आता था और न ही वे साहित्यिक भाषा में लेख लिखते थे, बस उन्हें डायरी लिखने का शौक था। मानवता को सबसे बड़ा धर्म मानकर शोषित-उपेक्षितों के कल्याण और सुख के लिए अपना पूरा जीवन समर्पित करनेवाले सेवाव्रती कर्मयोगी ठक्कर बापा की प्रेरक-पठनीय जीवनी है यह पुस्तक।

यह पुस्तक एक लड़की से माँ के सफर की कहानी है, जो लेखिका द्वारा पूरी आत्मा से कागज पर शब्दों द्वारा उकेरी है। इस कहानी को पाठक अपनी जिंदगी से भी जोड़कर देख सकते हैं, क्योंकि इसे दिल की संपूर्ण भावनाओं से ओत-प्रोत कर आत्मा से शब्दों में बाँधा गया है। अगर सच्ची लगन, खुद पर यकीन और हौसला बुलंद हो तो कैसे भी हालात का सामना किया जा सकता है और अंत में जीत सत्य और उम्मीद की होती है। उपन्यास ‘छायात्मजा’ (एक बेटी... माँ सी) अपनी कथावस्तु के चलते पाठकों को नई ताजगी का एहसास करा पाएगा। ऐसी उम्मीद है! इस कहानी में जहाँ प्रेम के कई रंग एक साथ विभिन्न एहसासों से सराबोर करते हैं तो वहीं छाया के प्यार का सहज, निस्स्वार्थ और करुण चेहरा भी दिखता है। कभी दो बहनों के आपसी रोष तो कभी उनके त्याग, समर्पण और संघर्ष की अनूठी कहानी भी दिखती है। इस उपन्यास की कहानी लिखने के पीछे लेखिका की सकारात्मक सोच और हार न मानने का जज्बा है, जो पाठकों को निश्चित ही प्रेरित कर पाएगा।

The poems of Ramesh Pokhriyal "Nishank" represent innate, passionate ramifications and poetic mystification for readers. While they may include hymns and religious instructions, what stands out is the sentimental piety in the poems offered within this collection. As a poet, Nishank surveys possibilities, comparing them to actualities, facts, theories, alternatives, and ideals, weighing them together. Thus, his work is both insightful and foresightful, providing a sense of life’s worth. Remarkably, these poems are not complex; they are simple and pliable. The doctrines and practices they endorse are not new or recent but align with established norms. The poems that emerge from darkness invigorate the spirit, making our hearts dance and enveloping us in a mystical softness, enchanting enough to soothe distressed feelings while instilling a sense of truth, clarity, and refinement. Nishank conjures images of everyday, affable life, depicting socially intellectual and passionate men who dance, croon, and fall yet rise again—shortly devastated but soon resilient. His poems are both popular and distinctly contemplative. Hidden behind his voice lies every man; if you wish to understand his character, let the doors of the heart open and allow them to speak. *** The ardor for humankind may pulse in every throb of my heart; let there be a beautiful person within me. My only desire in this life is to die for my country, with my life as an emblem for humanity. *** Like worms clothing the wheat, jealousy, like termites, hollow out the preposterous. *** To erase darkness, those who burn like torches do so even in adverse torrents; they never extinguish. *** Happiness resides in the present, not in the future; it rests in the depths of the mind. —From this collection.

Dear reader, I wrote this book for the ones who feel everything too deeply. The rare souls who still listen to their hearts and believe in love. The ones who don’t hurt others just because they’re in pain. The ones who wear their hearts on their sleeves and carry kindness within. The ones who overthink, over-invest in people and over-love, always. This book is an ocean full of feelings, so if at any point, you feel like you’re drowning, take a moment to remind yourself that it’s a privilege to feel emotions as intensely as you do. Some people are so disconnected from their hearts that they don’t allow themselves to feel anything at all. That being said, I wish you a happy reading. This book will make you cry. Love, Rithvik

His love transcends personal longing, exploring the origins of solitude and connecting it to the stillness of the cosmos, contemplating the mysteries that enshroud it.

"Ghalib was a poet who mocked hardship, a philosopher who dared to argue with God, and a man who turned disappointment into an art form. Though often wrapped in layers of difficult language and intricate thought, at the heart of his vast poetic “ocean” lies a single, luminous “drop” - his deeply human individuality. He was the ultimate maverick: urbane, ironic, and restlessly modern, forever questioning, forever unsettled. Ocean in a Drop draws back the curtain on Urdu’s greatest genius. Stripping away academic clutter, this book approaches Ghalib through his most iconic she’rs, revealing the man behind the mystique. You will discover: ~ The Persona: The ego, the wit, and the “shroudless” independence of a 19th-century rebel. ~ The Wound: How he transformed neglect and betrayal into a mark of distinction. ~ The Edge: His playful yet profound walk along the borders of faith, existence, and the void. This is not a textbook. It is a conversation - intimate, unguarded - with a man who understood that life is chaotic, and that humour is often its only redemption. Whether you have long admired him or are meeting him for the first time, this is Ghalib as he was meant to be known: sharp, soulful, and unmistakably his own."

I hope healing finds its way to you soon. Love, Rithvik

Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal "Nishank", like all romantic poets, is generally a poet who is strong-willed and intelligent and possesses an unusually subtle mind. While going through his poetry and nature poetry, we see nature sympathetically with unusual unreputable emotional responses. Moreover, it stands in sharp contrast to rationalistic moods. Nishank is fond of personifying nature and is desirous of associating with the beauteous forms of the world that coexist with the laws and order of the universe. When Nishank fuses scientific and religious notions, he proposes a metaphysical idea adapted to the cosmos' natural design. Hence, through this choicest collection of his poems, Nishank agrees with the universal phenomenon that nature provides an influence which spontaneously refines and purifies the soul of the human generation. A "must-read" collection of representative poems of Shri Nishank.

Through fragments of myth, poetry, and shadowed memory, the book traces the path of a woman who is both wound and blade, both destruction and divinity- an eternal return to power she never truly lost.
