this is a journey from heart to soul to supreme being
sonu singhal
1.A tribute to the imagination of man(kalpana chawala )
Imagination of Man
What not you can
Safest shield and high tower
Thy art the superb power
Base of all come true dream
Moonlight and a sunbeam
To know the stuff unknown
You jumped over the mystic zone
To all you acted as motivation
You are Great you are Imagination
Beyond the sky blue
To know some clue
To mysteries and experiments
Or to make some invents
Flew up to come down
But mixed up in universe unknown
It lost somewhere- sometime
Imagination prime –imagination prime
2.City of lakes-City of love
Where emotions are cared
Where happinesss are shared
I salute that city
Where lives eternal beauty
One day I stepped in there
Before the mighty sun appears
I saw people of your city
Busy with work and anxiety
Happiness it gives, grief it takes
How wonderful is this city of lakes
I like the city where ANGEL sojourns
The love it give, the fire it burns
3.Stay With Me All Time
Making me Perfect and Prime
Stay with me all the time
You are my body..
You are my soul...
you are my journey..
You are my goal...
You are the oxyzen.. I inhale..
Environment covering with love-veil
You are the reality
A bunch of ability
My tears and my laugh
You are my Better Half
We are natural..
we are DIVINE..
Stay with me all the time
Stay with me all the time
4.Divine Spectrum
Inchanted I feel...
With enthusiasam and zeal...
When you are with me
My life rythmy rythmy
Tall,slim and stately wisdom
Lively you are- A DIVINE SPECTRUM
A part of your being
My joys on high swing
Unique charm-unique thrill
Always I get from your will
Uncomplete I was without your being
You made me complete with everything
5.Untitled
Before she meet me ,I know her..
Her..as I know my sister..
Alive she make me with a magic
Reward she gave me of love tragic
Difficult to meet her again in future
Well we hope, we meet in the NATURE
At the end of my life may be she,
Justify us by uniting the lovers to be
6.A Doll In His Hands
A doll in the hands of unknown
My life is in danger-zone
Donn he is,Almighty and Great
My master he is, Disaster and my fate
With hope and despair
Strange how a pair
He made a cage
And put it on a stage
He anchored a play of contradictions
Many defeats and less victories
My life is my fate's revenge
My life is very strange
I longed for Joy
But get agony
Bliss I desired
but have melancholy
How right is my life's definition
Its Elation is my depression
7.An Absolute Dynamism
Sublime she sweet soul
Girl graceful glorious goal,
Unique in charm, extraoridinary in delight..
Rarest she beauty,comes in my right..
8.An absolute Dynamism
A treasure of pearls
Second to none...
she seems amongst girls
A mix of Melodious rays...
I see on her ANGELIC face...
9.Never To Fall
Frighten,d the world....
.....o,my love
Strongest to all
Never to fall
Compared to none
Brighter than sun
Gold, good, god thou are
Thou art a flying star
10.TO an angel called SISTER
Beautiful she is, true;
Interested in our fate
Never she wants us to weep
Does she take risk in wait
Upon her our charms depend
JOYS as she keep
sweet are your tomgue
Heroic yours deed are
And you love me so much
Regal is this gift for me
My own if not blood but emotions
Always you mine,always you
are loved,always you worshipped
11.Touch The Life
Life is a sea of experiences
Many ups and many downs
Waves of which makes a man dyanamic
Enjoying sometimes-sometimes pathatic
One who wants real joy
Must not desired any toy
Must be ready to play with stones
Tomb,disaster and broken bones
Flowers and showers are there
Also many opposite in nature
Go in the sea of struggle and strife
If you want to touch the life
12.Turned To Almighty
Like that blue sky
My dreams are very high
As my eyes touches the vision
I will get I have the reason
The confidence,the faith,the aim
I have in heart,in soul,in each vein
I surpassed the limit,O'I always admit
I have his portion in me
As well as salt in great sea
Compelete faith on his blessings
Fortune will take me on his wings
I always chant the song unheard
He always listen the words sacred
He will return my lost glory
For which which I not be worry
I am his disciple, He is Lord,
I am the son, he Father,the God
Why an escape?-live there in society
Turn to be human-turn to Almighty

what is the name of the poet who wrote saray jehan se acha hindustan hammara.

I would highly recommend a Canadian writer, Shauna Singh Baldwin. Her book of short stories "English Lessons and Other Stories" touches upon subjects ranging from pre-Partition Pakistan/India to Canadian/American Indian immigrants. I can almost guarantee her lyrical writing style will touch you deeply!!
However, it is only available via Amazon!

Review and the Comments:
Muklawa & Other Stories By Pritpal Singh Bindra
Published in
Book Reviews and Comments by Hon`ble Gurbax Singh
Malhi, M.P., Federal Parliament, Canada (Speaking at the Book Release ceremony of Punjabi Writers' Guild, Toronto on Nov. 24, 1997) It is great pleasure to congratulate you on release of your most remarkable book, Muklawa and Other Stories.... By so richly illustrating in word the many challenges facing the members of the Indian community as they strive to adjust to the Canadian life-style, you have indeed done us all a great service.... One of your characters, named Karam Singh, for instance, is some one who speaks for many Indo-Canadian men. Various example of cultural shocks, which he endures as his children grow up in Canada, no doubt, resonate in the kitchen and living-grooms of many India home here in America.... I am not surprised by the considerable acclaim your writing has earned to date, since you have clearly produced a readable and engaging collection of fictions.
Dr. Amarjit Singh, a proficient Punjabi short-story writer based in Toronto, Canada. He has so far three books to his credit. (Paper read at the Book release ceremony of the Punjabi Writers' Guild on Nov. 24,1997) "My teenager son has read this book. He expressed his thought in the following few lines: "Muklawa was the first book that I have ever read by a Punjabi author. For me, these stories did one very important thing. They confirmed my belief that Punjabi culture does in fact exceed the boundaries of the Punjabi language. This is important because in order for those not as well educated in the Punjabi language, such as myself, books like this, produced by Punjabis in English... may be the only way for members of my generation to learn about their culture. One story I found particularly interesting is the story entitled "Divorce." I like this most because its ending was somewhat optimistic while remaining realistic.... I found it interesting because the story argued against my personal viewpoint o! n the issue of inter-religious and inter-racial marriages.... This book is also a good example of the writing style of India authors compared to that of most North American authors. The stories are focused more on description and emotion that action and events."
Pritam Singh Dhanjal, A very well known and popular Punjabi poet based in Toronto. He has five books to his credit. He can be reached at his Website < (Paper read at the Book release ceremony of the Punjabi Writers' Guild on Nov. 24,1997) "...I like the front cover of the book for its `Reverse-action'.... Muklawa is a Punjabi word.... In India, even though their script is Gurmukhi, the books are published with English Names such as `Defense Line', Computer Culture' etc. in Punjabi Script). But, here we have book in English and its Title is a Punjabi word.... whether he lives a hundred miles from his home or thousands of miles away, he observes the life style of that place and in a very simple and obvious way, compares it with his own culture.... (About the girls living in the beautiful area of Himalayas) he says, `They were extremely emancipated and to some extent, even, surpassed the Western norm of freedom'.... He writes how Punjabi striving to go to the distant Western Lands opt to legal and illegal means... when they are there... cultural shocks and hardships in the new lands.... I enjoyed Pritpal's use of historical facts and real-life places and situations... which envisions the environment.... Divorce, Escape and Shudhi are excellent stories where the reader finds Pritpal's immense knowledge of major religions of the world.... In Exile and Offensive he thoroughly plots to uncover the suppression of Minorities.... Punjabi men and women both use lightly abusive language in their every day lives. Pritpal has revealed this his character whenever it was appropriate.... On the back cover, Pritpal looks mature and rather older person, but he is very much young-at-heart in his stories Muklawa and Distress...."
Weekly Indo-Can! adian Voice, Toronto dt. Nov. 4, 1997 ".... The public often finds it hard to believe that a writer's imagination can create characters out of this air. Bindra has written extensively on Sikh Religion.... The book of short stories is his first attempt at fiction.... `I like it here (Missisauga, Toronto) (but) `the stories I particularly like, in fact, were written when I was... in France (where) his daughter lives.... Of course, Mississauga cannot compete with the `original' land of romance and inspiration. `Most of the people mentioned in my stories are still alive,' says the author.... The reason why he writes in English, `... People like me wrote stories in English because the young generation is not bilingual. Most of them didn't get a chance to learn Hind or Punjabi. At least, the stories in English might create some interest among them about the land and culture we left behind.'"
Capt. Dr. Mohinder Singh, Writer and Literary Critic, Patiala, Punjab, India. (Published in Monthly Chardikala, Patiala, March 1998) "The writer, Pritpal Singh Bindra, has presented this book containing Muklawa and other fifteen (short stories and fictions). He has done a great service to the people of Indian origin living in England and the America. The efforts he has put in to restore the awareness of heritage among the ethnic communities is commendable. As a result of his endeavour a link has been created between the (native) culture of the immigrant-parents and their offspring.... The English translation of Punjabi Stories could have never achieved the objective.... At the first reading, the collection looks very agile but the writer's pursuit of religious, societal and technical knowledge is very deep; he is capable of elucidating all the points.... High education, teaching in educational sectors in Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and England, and working in England has widened his experience.... His greatest ambition, next to learning and service, is to enrich the community through his experience and knowled! ge...."

A reader from France , October 19, 1998
A great insight into real Punjabi culture
I was only three years old when I emigrated to England from India, with my parents. I had not little idea about Indian culture and the way of life of Indians divided between Indian culture and Western society and its demands. This book gave me a great opportunity to actually be in the skin of people living these kind s of lives, their emotional experiences as well as their conflict with Western culture. It seemed to me to be so easy to emigrate but this book makes one realise what a traumatic upheaval immigrants can go through. I thank Mr. Bindra for opening this world to us. N.Crequer
