Thursday Challenge - TIME (Hourglass, Clock, Sundial, Calendar, Wristwatch, Old, Young, Aging,…)
(Each crease tells a story of an ERA let alone TIME….. My Nani JI.. Sardarni Harbans kaur Brar)
vo Naani ki baaton mein pariyon kaa deraa
vo Chehre ki jhuriryon mein sadiyon kaa pheraa
bhulaae nahin bhuul sakataa hai koi
vo Chhoti si raaten vo lambi kahaani
(sorry cant translate this in english, you got to figure it out yourself , translation will spoil all the ambience )













That's a lovely Grandma! Thank you for sharing.As per the translation I am looking for Israel or @A whoever is available…
HUGS to granny!Perfect picture according to the theme…Rightly said:Each crease tells a story of an ERA let alone TIME

An apt picture for the prompt Bikkyji and the poetry stirred some emotions in my heart, some memories surfaced too..Thanks!And Poonam I believe has done a fantastic job at translating the piece into a beautiful poetry again!
She looks so soft natured! Should have been a good mother.Jagjit Singh's ghzals are unbeatable! I love this song. The lyrics are so apt for your grand ma, Bikram!
Her face tells that she is an affectionate lady !Wonderful tribute to your Nanni.Nice blog ! Mani.
This snap of grandma made me recollect my granny.Hugs to nani.Apt pc i was not able to figure what to do,so i skiped this thursday challenge
Aww u got me all nostalgic
Beautiful pic and most beautiful lines there

Relaly loked the pics, and the way the lines go with it!Brilliant interpretation!
Reminded me of my nani
loved the poem…itss really touchyy
Lovely song…so apt. Reminds me of my grandmom…
such a cute daadi/naani types.such photos speaks the time spent in childhood days.naani aur daadi ki kahaniyon ka baserabhulaye nahi bhul sakta hai koiwoh godi mein sar rakhkar sunnana kahanilaye hoton par muskaan aur ankhon mein paani .thanks for sharing and reminding me my dadi/nani.
i miss my late nani
but yet again, i don't have enough memories to remember her.
Lovely. Seems a little like a Jagjit Sing song. Is it?
Like you said, she is really beautiful… We should all be blessed with at least one person in our lives who loves us and prays for us despite our stupidities and evident idiocracies, and I think Grandmothers are very much capable of that… this post reminds me of my Dadima… As for wrinkles… they merely indicate where the smiles have lived…@ Punam:You did a wonderful job translating… very impressive!!- Mannat :=)
@punam- gr8 job in translating
Ur grandma looks so cute Bikram…Even I'am really attached to my Nani… She is one lady who i aspire to be like… The lessons of life that she has to share are simply wonderful and the way she explains me everything is simply unmatchable….And loved those lines…
Awwwwwwwwwwwwww

Grandma's are always special and you have a lovely looking lady there. Enjoy here.A ghazal with a nostalgic touch. I doubt if anybody can do justice to these verses other than Jagjit Singh.Thanks for visiting my blog and taking the time to comment.
