Episode 81 | Chief Ki Dawat (चीफ की दावत) | Bhishm Sahani (भीष्म सहानी) | Stories by Shubha
भीष्म सहानी हिंदी साहित्य के साधक एवं सफल लेखक रहे हैं | उनकी कहानियाँ मर्मस्पर्शी और ह्रदय को छू जानेवाली होती हैं | भीष्म सहानी अपने उपन्यास ‘तमस’ के लिए सबसे ज्यादा जाने जाते हैं, जिसमें १९४७ के भारत-पाकिस्तान विभाजन की दर्दनाक तस्वीर प्रस्तुत की गई है | किन्तु सहानी ने अपनी लघु-कथाओं में भी रोज़-रोज़ के आपसी रिश्तों में होती उंच-नीच को बखूबी दर्शाया है |
अक्सर रिश्ते दिखावे के लिए ही रह जाते हैं, ख़ास कर के बूढ़े माँ-बाप के सन्दर्भ में | अधिकतर, हाशिये में ढकेल दिए जाने वाले माँ-बाप, अचानक से आधुनिक सजाये हुए ड्राइंग रूम में तब बुलाये जाते हैं जब उनकी देख-रेख का दिखावा करना बच्चोँ को अपने लिए फायदेमंद लगता है |
प्रस्तुत कहानी में भी कुछ ऐसा ही है | गरीब घर से निकला शामनाथ पढ़-लिख कर ऊंची कु...

    Very nice. Very positive messages to live life as it is and not getting too philosophical; in a poetic conversation between the psalmist and the reader. A rare piece of work, nicely brought out by Dr. Indira Nityanandam. The video clipping is of a very good quality, content is well structured and the content itself is excellent and uniquely presented as a poetic conversation. The lines, "And departing leave behind us, Footprints on the sands of time." are so meaningful. I did hear them a few times before, but those who cite the lines, don't cite the name of the author unfortunately. Happy to know that it's Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Excellent piece of work. Best Wishes in continued 'saahitya parisodhana / anveshana' of English literature that I think is close to you. 💐 Kindly regards
