Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,
Hemen Parekh

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

Unlock the Gates



_______________________________________________________
A thousand thoughts are loose
In my mind’s cage,
A hundred thousand fancies
Riding without reins
On a rough terrain ;

How long
I wonder
Will the fences hold ?
How long the crumbling walls
Withstand this giant
With anguish torn ?

Not long
I am afraid ,
Unless my Angel’s smile
Unlocks the gates

And let the torrents flow .

I am Free



_______________________________________________________
I am free
As much as a slave can be,
In a life
That is young ;
As young as a life
With a million cares
Can be.
