हिमाचल की बेटियाँ किसी से कम नहीं, इसका ज्वलंत उदाहरण आज क्रिसमस के अवसर पर राजधानी दिल्ली में उस समय देखने को मिला जब कलम की ताकत रखने वाली हिमाचली कवयित्री दीप्ति सारस्वत के प्रथम काव्य संग्रह का अनुराधा प्रकाशन के तहत नई दिल्ली स्थित हिन्दी भवन में विमोचन हुआ।
इतिहास बनने वाले इन सुनहरे...

सैंटा क्लाज पोटली समेटे,
घूम रहा है शहर–शहर, गाँव–गाँव, गली-गली में,
तौहफ़ों का अंबार यिशु का प्यार लिए ।।
शहर-शहर सैंटा बना क्रिसमस पार्टी की शान,
बाँट रहा है तौहफ़े, काटे जा रहे हैं क्रिसमस केक,
जगमगा रहा है क्रिसमस ट्री ।।
गाँव की मुंडेर पर भी, बच्चे मना रहे हैं क्रिसमस,
सुना रही है दादी माँ,
कहानी यिशु के बलिदान की ।।

कुत्ते कविता और मैं
हम तीनों साथ रहते हैं
सुबह होती है
मैं सोया पड़ा हूं
सबसे पहले कुत्ते भौंक कर
भरते हैं वातावरण में चैतन्यता
मुझे जगाते हैं उन्हें भी जगाते हैं जो अभी तक सोए हैं
आते हैं भीतर साष्टांग प्रणाम करते हैं
जो मैंने उनको कभी नहीं सिखाया
पूछ हिलाते मेरी छाती तक उछलते हैं
मेरी चाय के साथ ही होता है उनका ब्रेकफास्ट
कुत्तों...

We are all running
Some towards their destiny
others to accomplish their goals
but we have paid a price
we have become strangers
to our own self.
Standing tall amongst people
they feel elated
false happiness and unending successes
twine around them
like poisonous snakes.
Each person is covered
with a shroud of untold lies
their souls have lost their shine.
They do not know
where are they...

Raindrops falling on the window panes
creating melodies for the ears
I see images looking at me
some far, some near
some laughing
others looking sad
I rub the glass
everything vanishes.
I see only
transparency and floating clouds
I ask myself
am I not like the rain drops!
No identity, no will of their own
sky is their master
earth the receptacle
they ask no questions
make the...

आज किसान दिवस है (23 दिसंबर)। आईये हम सब मिलकर किसानों को धन्यवाद कहें कयूंकि मुझे नहीं लगता की भोजन करने के बाद हम में से कोई भी किसान को धन्यवाद कहता होगा। सब उसी को धन्यवाद कहते हैं जो खाना बनाता या परोसता है। कहते हैं "अन्नदाता सुखिना भवंतु" लेकिन असली अन्नदाता कौन है? खाना...

My first brush with the idea of prejudice against girls was in class IX. I was part of a school play titled, “Whose Child is This?” that beautifully brought about the story of an unwanted girl child. Until then I had hardly ever known that girls were the lesser preferred choice in society. From there on began...
