New Delhi, Dec 11 : THIS NUMBER DOES NOT EXIST
This number does not exist.
Wherever I go whichever number I dial
At the other end a strange voice says
This number does not exist yeh number maujood nahin hai
Not too long ago at this number I used to reach people
Who said: of course we recognize you
There is space for you in this universe
(From Sudeep Sen s translation of Manglesh Dabral s Yeh Number Mojud Nahin
With the news of one of India s best known Hindi poets, Manglesh Dabral s death coming in on Wednesday evening, when he breathed his last at AIIMS after Covid related complications, it was clear that Indian poetry had lost a reluctant star.
Jansatta and
Pratipaksha, among others) and translator, Dabral also had most of his poems translated into various languages. His language continued to remain simple, accessible withholding current themes. In an interview with
The Indian Express, Dabral openly derided the use of technology, expressing concerns about the way it impacts memories. “I am against consumerism and technology. I don’t oppose technology but its greatest repercussion has been on memory. Memory is crucial for imagination, and technology and consumerism destroy it. How many people remember what mobile phone they were using two years ago, or what clothes they bought last year? Along with memory, even history is being erased by technology and, perhaps, only language and literature can counter that.” He infused his apprehension in his poetry, using English words like the internet or mobile phones to impede tampering of their impact.
