Renowned Punjabi poetess and writer Amrita Pritam is no more. She was awarded with Padma Vibhushan and Gyanpeeth Award for her literary prowess.
I got a chance to read her autobiography in high school 'Rasidi Ticket'. A lot of it I couldn't understand.I didn't complete it reading but somewhere I continued to follow her achievements, her life.I was also intrigued by her relationship with Sahir Ludhianvi & Imroz.More than anything she lived life on her terms as she wanted to.
Listening her reciting her poems was like watching Yehudi Menuhin in concert. It was an eternal bliss.
Few lines from her last poem were ....
Yeh jism hota hain to sub kuch khatm ho jaata hain,
Per chetna ke dhaage kaynaati kano ke hote hain ,
Main un kano ko chunungi,Dhhagon main lapetoongi,
Aur tumhe main phir milungi .......
