Drive Your Own Car
25/08/2022
Life is a journey that everyone makes
With ups and downs and some mistakes
A journey that is without any brakes
Except when toll time comes to take
Some drive their car some leave it to fate
No one here waits they seperate
But the upper and the third rate
Wake up together near exit gate
Ajay Kumar Singh Musafir
Ajay Kumar Singh 'Musafir' is a prolific poet who prefers and promotes the rhyming verse format. Born to Draupadi Devi nee Rai, from Khajraitha, Bihar, and Arjun Prasad Singh of Olipur, District Lakhisarai, Bihar, he studied in Bethany School, Darjeeling and St. Josephs College school Darjeeling, and graduated from Hansraj College, Delhi University (1984-1987) with a BA (Hons) in History and did his post-graduation from JNU, New Delhi (1987-1993) with an MA and an MPhil in International Relations. Thus during his formative years he was in exile from his beloved home Neel Kothi, Lakhisarai. Hence his intense longing for his hometown - Lakhisarai.
His literary journey was ignited by the two masters of Urdu Ghazal poetry, first by Meer Taqi Meer and Ghalib when Sanjeev Ranjan, raconteur par excellence, a friend and a mentor, took the trouble to explain Urdu ghazals, which till then was an insurmountable wall. This simply opened the floodgates. His other influences were William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, Sir Walter Scott, Kabir, Tulsidas, Abdur Rahim Khan-i-Khanan, Rabindranath Tagore, Harivansh Rai Bachchan and Bollywood.
