Oh, Lord how to react to my elders?
How to pay gratitude to all my readers?
What a hidden well wishers they are?
I was pushed simply very far
How could I dispel their feelings?
Was I ever ready or willing?
How can well knit organization be left?
How can there be overnight shift?
I misjudged the reader's mood
Poetry is just tonic and food
It has divine infusion with great thrust
We all must pray almighty for its preservation and is must
I shall stay and must continue
Must give to larger audience whatever is their due
What is their in appreciation or condemnation
It is permanent bond and solidly laid foundation
Let each brick carry its own weight
Then only building can gain its height
The stone at the base can see with honor and pride
I must uphold this view and never hide
They are not seized with domestic problems
But disgruntled with happenings around them
Some of the poems may not appeal them earnestly
This is a normal cause and I must admit it frankly
If all the pots made by potters find the way
Not a place in market will be left to stay
Some poems may find applaud and appreciation
Others may go down with displeasure and condemnation

Dear Mehta-ji, I was carried away by your following lines -
I shall stay and must continue
Must give to larger audience whatever is their due
What is their in appreciation or condemnation
It is permanent bond and solidly laid foundation
This is the reason why you are inseparable for "Muse India"

Mehtaji, I am pleased to see Hasmukh (smiling face) once again. I was greatly worried about missing the regular quota of an elderly man's experience which is hardly found elsewhere. After reading your verses I was thinking of personally meeting and spending an hour or so with you. Though it involved undertaking a great journey.

Hasmukh ji (as Prabhu sir has rightly said) can't have a sad face. By our grain-size contribution an institution can rise high as you have remarked:
Let each brick carry its own weight
Then only building can gain its height

The real purpose of writing reflects in this piece... I write to please myself, FOR myself. That's the selfish side of me. Then a little voice in me says, come on, share it...your pleasure will be multiplied.... and then I post the work... So like others have said here, that's the spirit, Hasmukh-ji. Warm regards.

Czujesz się Winny za to, że Piszesz prawdę, która może nie każdemu się podoba....ale czemu przepraszasz za szczerość ? Chcesz pisać dla poklasku, po to by Cię doceniali i kochali....myślę, że nie potrzebujesz pochlebstw ani fałszywych opinii....Bądź taki jak dotąd....
Prawdziwy....

Hasmukh, we express our love to you,for what you are, for your poetry which helps to live, helps a person to remain human in this cruel world
Just as a beautiful girl needs the mirror to see her face, the world needs a poet to see the soul.
