He was an unknown person till the time i realized that i know him.
I was walking with my friend on the footpath after my visit to purana quila.he was there to pick up his grandson from the school.He was in the traditional kurta pajama and has came in his maruti alto if i remember correctly.

He said let's go and speak to him.as usual i was hesitant to move because of my shy nature,but then i went close to him.After greeting salaam i told him that i love his poetry.He said that he was glad to hear that and asked our names.When i told him i am from ballia he said he shared stage with hafiz baliyawi in many Mushairas.Although i had never seen hafiz saheb personally apart from the board outside his house.

My friend told me that he left the world previous year.Bekal saheb told us that since he is now a rajsabha MP and his daughter stays in delhi,he often stays here.He is originally from balrampur and his full name is Lodhi Mohd.

....Meaning is a relationship between two sorts of things: signs and the kinds of things they mean (intend, express or signify).....and I believe evrything in this world has a meaning of its own...and i am trying to learn those....
