Matwala Sa Mann Hoon... Main

We both have been watching our father since we were tiny – sometimes humming a merry tune, sometimes painting, or sometimes lost in his world of words, penning something new. His cupboard filled up with his works over the years.



So we siblings decided to bring to you, dear reader, a compilation of these works by our father Sri Lalit Kapoor, “Lalit” – poems, songs and stories capturing the moments that touched his heart, written straight from the heart.



The warm hues of love and devotion for the enchanting Kanha, written as a prayer by a friend



The sparkling hues of a mischievous childhood



The rainbowed hues of the dreams of innocent, youthful love



The stark hues of the pangs of separation



The everchanging hues of everyday relations



The search for the silver linings of expectations and aspirations



The mixed palette of the world for a wanderer who questions it



The vacuous grey eyes of old age in painful wait for love and care in a seemingly uncaring world



All the colours of life, written in simple words by our father.



Dear reader, we hope you find these compositions as moving as we did. We humbly present to you…



Matvaala Sa Mann Hoon Main



With love,



Aditya Kapoor
