Original article –
☆ चातक ☆
…माना कि अच्छा लिखते हो पर कुछ जमाने को भी समझो। दुनियादारी सीखो। हमेशा कोई अमृत नहीं पी सकता। कुछ मिर्च- मसालेवाला लिखो। नदी, नाला, पोखर, गड्ढा जो मिले , उसमें उतर जाओ, अपनी प्यास बुझाओ। सूखा कंठ लिये कबतक जी सकोगे?
…चातक कुल का हूँ। पीऊँगा तो स्वाति नक्षत्र का पानी अन्यथा मेरी तृष्णा, मेरी नियति बनी रहेगी।
☆ Chatak ☆
… agreed that you write well but also try to understand the world some time. Learn worldliness. One cannot always drink nectar alone. Write something peppery-spicy. Get into the river, stream, puddle, pond, and quench your thirst. How long can you live with dry throat?
… I’m of Chaatak family. If I drink, I drink water of Swati Nakshatra only, else, my thirst craving will remain my destiny…
