**philosophy Of Give And Take!



PHILOSOPHY OF GIVE AND
TAKE!

It is very often said, that Delhi culture is one
of ‘give and take’!
If you give with one hand, with the other
you must take!
But why alone blame Delhi, for this kind
of philosophy? !
Has not this culture now slowly spread? !
I read your poems only, after mine are
also read? !
Friends, in these lines I have merely recalled, -
What a lady poet of Delhi told me once, -
over the phone!
So now I leave it to the readers of poem-
hunter.com, -
To prove her right, or to prove her wrong!

Many times I visited this great capital and wish to say I like it culture and its openness, , , , , , , , and its slop of cavity makes a godly culture and its gifts

I strongly support your way of thinking.But aren't we ourselves to be blamed? Don't we choose whom to read seeing the names in the popularity list? Don't I expect that someone should reciprocate if I comment on his/her poem? We are to be blamed and we ourselves can rectify the system if good spirit prevails....Brishti

Raj-ji, what you have pointed out is absolute truth... in the period of globalization, none can be so generous like old saints! the sad face of life...expect...expect...expect.. this is the new motto...
