Living in a world, which is already with one foot in the next
century, when I review myself, I realise, that, that my life and thought
have been one of paraphrasing enormous stretches of time through which
man trudged his way to reach me and this generation and now will pass
through me into the future like the shaft of tomorrow\u2019s sun.

So the many rivers of blood that flow in me, carry cargoes of this
consciousness, which whenever spelt out in human speech in the dawns and
dusks of my time accumulated into scraps of paper showing
undecipherable notes in the daylight. For some decades now I have lived
on the hope that someday I would unravel the mysteries held by these
characters, the hasty zigzag scribblings and perhaps they would one day
turn into a poem, a story or a theory, if I am allowed to recapture the
moments through which my life passed as if through a sieve.

In life I have travelled long distances, have received unhealing
wounds, cruelly mauled and bruised; today the voices of those wounds
yearn to pass through me and my flesh. I realise there is hardly any
time left to indulge in these ambitious experiments of deciphering the
inarticulate script that these stacked bundles carry, since I have no
shades to sit and ruminate on the past and dialogue with moments
which left me long ago.

Youth looks at life through stained glass-windows of illusion, and
maturity bequeaths the gift of appreciating the heartlessness and
selfishness of life. In poetry, only an iota of one\u2019s experience creeps
in, that too, slyly. But in a note-book the tides of our thinking get
anchored over the shores of paper, while life still drifts on in the red
river.

One fine morning, lilies were blooming brilliant red around and the
last traces of Gulmohor were still seen on the branches. The world
looked peaceful, tinged by dawn, but I sighed saying \u201cwill God ever
spare me the time from these cruelties of life to finish all the plans
which are lying like unhatched eggs in the nests of my pages\u201d?

A friend of mine observed thoughtfully \u201cIn my opinion they will make a
very expressive poet\u2019s Note Book...which will be a window to your mind,
your mental portrait.\u201d

He leafed through the pages and told me \u201cI have run through these
notes and felt that in these pages a sensitive mind will move through
the stirring pageantry of the great struggles and reveries of Man on
this planet. In my opinion it will undoubtedly be the most interesting
Notebook to come from any intellectual.\u201d Thus the book emerged.
