Mohanjeet has explicitly expressed his original thoughts and feelings in his book "ABHIVYAKHTI". It is a creative piece of work and each of the 101 poetic expressions in the book carries a direct or a subtle message to the reader. It provokes you to connect and think. This is attributed to the hidden talent and the passion of the author, who is otherwise a very successful Pharmaceutical professional. I strongly recommend this book for reading, I assure you that it will connect you with some of your experiences and events in your life. Best wishes!
Mohanjeet's Abhivyakti is a wonderful collection of human emotions and conflicts, expressed so very well through poetic pieces. I was really amazed to see how almost each one of these relates to me, as if it was written for me only. Feelings, which are so difficult to express at times, have been so beautifully (and easily) articulated by eMKay in his poetry. The entire collection is as fresh as dew on the leaves in early morning. You find a perfect mix of encouragement and hope in some creations, harsh criticism of the current system and politics in some, and yet a lovely outlook on life on the whole in others. Beautiful! Overall, a must read, if you appreciate shayari!!
बे-हिसाब पिला दी साक़ी ने... किसको किसका होश रहा l Beautiful, mesmerizing, nostalgic..... there are so many words to describe this riveting collection - or as eMKay called it ‘a kavay sankalan’. There are so many small and running compositions, which kept me spellbound and I was struggling to resist the urge to read just one more every time I thought of closing the book. Some of my personal favourites are - Dohre Manak, Andaz Apna Apna, Andaz-e-Zindagi, Dhuein Mein Aks, Tumhari Kasam and Kuch Khwahishein. eMKay’s poetry is like a garland of skilfully and emotionally woven words. Congratulations to the Author and I am already looking forward to the next book..
The very “Hindi” word “Abhivyakti” in English has many meanings, but the most befitting out of those many to the work presented by Mohanjeet, as also he writes under the other short name of eMKay, is – Expression and Articulation. The feelings that he has tried to put into the collection through meticulous selection of words in Urdu, Hindi and English defines his ability to express. Through his collection of poems/thoughts, I now realise it even more, how articulate he himself is! By academic training, I and Mohanjeet are Pharmacists – a profession where the first need defined to be called a Pharmacist is Empathy. It is that need, I felt embedded, going through the pre-publication copy of Mohanjeet’s work. As I close here, I remember the lines from that very beautiful Hindi movie by Late Shree Raj Kapoor – Satyam, Shivam, Sudaram – sung by Late Shree Mukesh et al – Kehte hain jahaan na Ravi pahunche, kehte hain wahaan par Kavi pahunche…. Mohanjeet through the heights and depths of his poetic thinking has given real pearls of Expression. I enjoyed and felt reading them, and I am sure every reader would.
Overall it’s a treat for the readers who may find their own lives being read through the lines of this beautiful creation. Mohanjeet Kukreja’s ‘Abhivyakti ek kavya sankalan’ is a welcome addition to many books that highlight the ironies of modern world. Standing outside of everyday life’s challenges, Mohanjeet’s book is perhaps the most erudite and readable book that also details the criticalities of our lives with witty anecdotes. Mohanjeet endorses the commonly held view of looking at life as a confusing, delusional and obtuse entity, sometimes difficult to define with its growing challenges. Overall, it’s a treat for the readers who may find their own lives being read through the lines of this beautiful creation.
Simply Brilliant!! 👌 An absolutely refreshing collection of poetry in Hindi, I would say. The shayar has obviously mastered the art of conveying his thoughts so effectively. Meanings of Urdu words, used rather liberally (maybe a compulsion for some compositions, especially ghazals) is a big help. A must for all poetry lovers.
