Gods Angels And The Fallen

<p>These gazals sher o shayari and kavitaaen (Hindi poetry) took almost 60-70 years to take the shape of a compiled poetry book from when they were penned by my father to where they are now in your hands in the form of <i>Pyar Ho Hi Jayega</i>. Maybe it was destined or maybe it was my destiny.</p> <p>My papa Dr Trilok Ujagar lived an extraordinary life full of poetry and music always in search of himself. Truth be told I got hold of these handwritten tattered pages of his poetry after his demise. And I started reading them - page after page. The more I read them the more I was immersed in the beauty simplicity and amazing depth of his words. How and when those dew drops turned into pearls even I couldn’t know. And then one morning it dawned upon me that I must collect all these and weave these pearls of gazals sher and kavitaaen into a book for the world to enjoy and appreciate his writings.</p> <p>I am grateful for my father’s writings and above all I am filled with gratitude towards God who gave me a chance to bring these words to see the light of the day.</p> <p>I am sure my father’s poetry will touch your heart and connect deeply with you too.</p> <p>Atul Ujagar</p>
