antyaakshhari of hindi poems!!!!!

ragini hoon main tumhaare kanth ki
goonjati jhhankaar ban jo vishwa mein
kalpana hoon main tumhaare swapna ki
ho rahi saakaar saari srishti mein

tum bano rituraj to main kokila
tum kokila to main tumhaari kook hoon
tum hriday to main tumhaari vedna
tum vedna to main tumhaari hook hoon

kaun tum mere tumhaari kaun main
yah adhoora swapna hi rah jaayega
tum vahi jo main kahoon to haani kya
prashna hi uttar swayam ban jaayega


Promptly another guy form the opposite team stands up and recites another poem in hindi starting from the hindi alphabet "ga".
He is over and without a seocond's delay (bare minimum delay required for decency/discipline) the first team again recited with the last alphabet this guy ended his poem with i.e. "ja"

jeth ho ki ho poos, humaare krishakon ko aaraam nahin
chhothe kabhi sung bailon ka, aisa koi yaam nahin

mukh mein jeebh, shakti bhuj mein jeevan mein sukh ka naam nahin
vasan kahaan? sookhi roti bhi milti donon shaam nahin

bailon ke yeh bandhu varsha bhar kya jaane kaise jeete hain
bandhi jeebh, aankhe vishann gum khaa shayad aanso peete hain

par shishu ka kya, seekh na paaya abhi jo aansoo peena
choos choos sukha stan maa ka, so jaata ro vilay nagina

vivash dekhti ma, anchal se nanhi jaan tarap ur jaati
apna rakt pila deti yadi phatati aaj vajra ki chhati

kabra kabra mein abudh baalakon ki bhookhi haddi roti hai
"doodh doodh" ki kadam kadam par saari raat sada hoti hai

"doodh doodh" o vats! mandiron mein bahre paashaan yahaan hain
"doodh doodh" taare bolo in bachhon ke bhagwaan kahaan hain

"doodh doodh" duniya soti hai, laaoon doodh kahaan kis ghar se
"doodh doodh" he dev gagan ke, kuchh boond tapka ambar se


One doesn't realise the value of something unless and until he/she misses it.
One of the BIGGEST laments in my life is we dont have ANY recording of the annual antyaakshhari competition we used to have in our school. What a class it was!!!!
Each and every guy was so much passionate about it. Every guy had many more poems by heart than movie songs.You need to witness it to realise what elated experience it is.
(If junta is willing I can work hard enough to put some in my blog)
I could never be a part of this revered team. Not even at section level could I get in, what to say of class level teams :-(. Despite the fact that there were only 25 ppl in each secion(four sections in each class of 100) and each team had around 10 ppl, still I managed to slip into the majority of 15. This is something I still feel bad/sorry/apologetic about.
Once section level competition, in each class,got over, there used to be inter-class competition. Once it comes to class level, you have everything at stake. Afterall its prestige issue of the whole batch!!!
I remember my two most momentous years as far as antyakshhari is concerned. 1994 and 1995.
1994,when my batch(3rd year) defeated the immediate senior batch in a CHARGED assembly hall (only to be thrashed by the mighty 5th yearites,who had defeated thier seniors last year, in finals). But man! what a feeling it was,to humiliate the immediate seniors.!!!! (Nothing gave more satisfaction than that, in school!!!!)
1995. Everybody expected the 4th year (my batch) to win the final as they had defeated the same team last year. But the judges had some different plans. Some new rules suddenly made at 11th (rather say 12th) hour and we lost. I still remember Chandu completing it with

haar jaana meri aadat mein na tha na rahega
har gum ko sehne ki bhi had hoti hai .....


I still miss those golden days!!!!!

  3. Pls dont say sucha thing after reading my posting "aa bail mujhe ... maar". I just happen to belong to a glorious heritage i.e Netarhat and so I know some poems' few lines by heart. FYI, both the poems have been copied from scanned copy I have of them, not from my memory.
