A Hindi poem by Shri. Neeraj

Poem by Neeraj – Jeevan jo katna tha kat gaya...

Attended a funeral once! The person was dead and lying still - but of course!

It was fascinating to see peoples’ reactions, comments and what not at that time. Maybe some were shocked. Maybe some talked out of fear (I don’t know what) and I assumed may be they liked the person (maybe) and so discounted most of their talks. But what was fascinating was the way ‘that person’s death’ was gauged and assessed by them. Each had his own understanding and point to put forth.

One said “so many people attending the funeral talks about the way that person had touched all these peoples’ lives. This is the ‘success and achievement of that person”.

Someone praised “such a big heart! Never went out of their house without eating”

“The day of death talks highly of this person’s good deeds” and so on and so forth. 


(I am not giving all the talks but I am sure you got the idea)
