Indian Civilisation has a concept of सांझी विरासत which verbatim means "Common Inheritance". This comon inheritance or common heritage makes me an equal claimant on the heritage bequeathed by the thinkers, scholars and poets of this land.
One such common forefather of all Delhiites like me is an old resident of बल्लिमांरां from a bygone era who became known as मिर्ज़ा असदुल्लाह खान 'गालिब'. As a tribute to him I would like to start my blog with this famous couplet of his...
हज़ारों ख्वाहिशें ऐसी के हर ख्वाहिश पे दम निकले,
बहुत निकले मेरे अरमां लेकिन फिर भी कम निकले...
More so, because this blog is a medium to express many of those ख्वाहिशै and also to share them with some रहगुज़र of my ज़िंदगी.
