Meena Kumari : I write , I recite ( 1 of 8 )-Chaand tanhaa hai aasmaan tanhaa

Hi Bloggers .... Here is my first post on "Bliss of Solitude". The Tragedy Queen, Meena Kumari , who was said to have owned the melancholy and extreme sadness, lonliness and pain in real life, was a poet also.This is a poetry in her own writing, narration and in her own voice.

Much has been written and discussed about her films but the poet residing inside her has got less attention. She and her sadness became mythological but her poetry truly reveals her creative side. So what if they are extreme expression of sadness. Her poetry has much substance.

I hope you all like it. There are 8 series of videos of her poetry.
