Happy Janmasthami to all the friends.
Janmasthami is the birthday of Krishna. Krishna had dark-skin, so he was also called Ghanshyam meaning ‘a black cloud.’ Coincidentally this day comes in monsoon season, when black clouds decorate the sky, to quench thirst of the rivers, and to give hope for new crop. Indians, suffering from unbearable heat, welcome the clouds and the rain wholeheartedly .
Unfortunately during this monsoon, due to excessive rainfall, beloved ‘Yamuna river’ of Krishna, and many other rivers have over flooded, creating disaster in many parts of India, and killing thousands.
In the poem ‘Shamal’ I have written and composed, a small town tiny river requests to the black clouds not to rain very hard, mentioning that she is not big river Yamuna, that can handle excessive water. When river Yamuna is flooded badly, what about the tiny river in the song?
When I get some time, I will translate this poem in English and put on the blog.

Meri ankhoSe bijali giregi re, Shyamal! ab ghir-ghirKe n aao!
‘Sooraj Ki ankho mein kajal’ sa ghirna,
Bas itna barso ki mein jal-jalu na…
Mein to chhote gaon ki chhoti si nadiya,
Bas itna barso ki mein chhal-chhalu na
Mein chhal-chhalu na
Meri aahon se aandhi chadhegi re, Shyamal! ab ghir-ghirKe n aao!
Meri ankhoSe bijali giregi re, Shyamal! ab ghir-ghirKe n aao!
Int-paththaron Ki manai mere des mein hai,
Phool Ke hai mahole, pankhadiyon Ke ghar hai
Jamuna samajakar na ham par barasana
Raadha nahin gudiyon ka Yye nagar hai
Mera nagar hai.
Meri nas-nas mein badhen chadhegi re, Shyamal! ab ghir-ghirKe n aao!
Meri ankhoSe bijali giregi re, Shyamal! ab ghir-ghirKe n aao!
