A Dead Twig

Author Name: Prithipal Singh Kahai | Format: Paperback | Genre : Poetry | Other Details

Do not cremate me

As I fear fire

Do not bury me

As I shall be unable to breathe

Do not cast me into water

For there, I shall drown

Not even the net

Of the tower of silence

Where sharp beaks

Will tear into my flesh

Just lay me down

Within a wire net cage

On a bed of wild flowers

In the bower of a forest

Where nature in time

Shall absorb me.

Prithipal Singh Kahai

Prithipal Singh Kahai son of Sardar Bahadur Hardev Singh Kahai (22 November 1932 to 26 April 2017) was fondly called “Pali” by his friends and relatives. My father, did his schooling at the Grammar School, Karachi, followed by his college and MBA from Glasgow. He began his career with the Metal Box Company. He came from a family of landlords, so farming was always close to his heart. He worked in the tea gardens of Assam, beside our lands in Palwal Haryana. He spent his last years at our lands in the forest reserve of Jawai Dam. He has been fond of writing since he was a child. He wrote in three languages. He wrote extensively on human relations, turmoil and aspects related to day-to-day living, in his own words, “When I cross the borders of life, you can reach me through my words, for it’s there that I shall ever be.”

- Manhardev Singh Kahai
