Zid Ki Udaan
ज़िद की उड़ान
This is a short story about an actual event at Hansraj College, where I was giving admissions to the students. One boy comes to us saying he ran from home to be a student at this college. Read this story to learn more about how we handled that boy and how the other teachers' overall responses were to help him in their capacity.
Dibiya

Dibiya is used to light the houses in the villages when there is no electricity. This story connects the relationship between Dibiya and an old lady. The old lady is Grandmother Manglo of Krishna, who found one empty tiny bottle to create a Dibiya to light more in the aangna. Read to know the connection between them and the culture around them.
Prem Geet
प्रेमगीत
This story is the journey of my first poem back in 2004 when I witnessed my first "Kavya-Sammelan" on the birth anniversary of Shri Chaudhary Charan Singh in Subhash Chandra Bose Auditorium at CCS University, Meerut. You will enjoy the story as well as the poetry in it. Time flies like it was here only. I wrote this story in 2017 after a long time but captured the moments of that time so that this story can get what it deserves.
Tadartha Aur Badlaav
तदर्थता और बदलाव
Adhocism has been practiced at the University of Delhi for a long time. I joined this on July 21, 2009, in the Department of Mathematics, Kalindi College, in East Patel Nagar, New Delhi. It was my first encounter with this practice in the library, where teachers were treated based on their joining as regular and ad hoc. Issuing books from the library with less than the permanent teacher may be fine for others, but for me, it was disrespectful for a teacher who does the same job in the college as others.
