Patradoot Or the Messenger 29 /Many

Patradoot or The Messenger29 /Many English version by Ravindra K Kapoor Originally written in Hindi by my Late father Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor These young boys and girls, were brought up, By their parents, with great love and affection, Now they are mad, in love for their motherland, To show the splendors of their youthful energy. They are ready even to sacrifice their heads, What to say of body pains and tortures inflicted on them, By seeing such fearlessness and energy of their youth, Even the enemy gets ashamed of, dear letter. Triloki was one of these young boys, Who happily took bullets on his chest, dear letter, And kept on moving ahead without withdrawing, Keeping the dignity of our nation and Satyagraha. DESCRIPTION OF MY CITY ALLAHABAD You will find my beautiful city Allahabad,* In an ecstasy and full of rapture, flowing in it’s air, When you will move on its roads and streets, Along with the Postman, dear letter. Ravindra Kanpur India 12th August 2010 to continue in 30 Clarifications: * Allahabad Also know as Prayag or Triveni is the most ancient city of India, where river Ganga and Yamuna now meets at the holy place called Sangam.
