Translation of a Gujarati Poem by Nikhil Joshi

સ્થિતિ

સૂરજ ઉગતો નથી આથમતો.

ઢળેલો ચહેરો મેજ પર હાથ ઢોળાયેલો.

અઢળક સફરજનના ઢગમાં મારા પૂર્વજો દટાયેલા.

યાન અવકાશમાં સફર્યે જતું.

ગ્રહ નક્ષત્રો છેદી. એ હું.

અચાનક મારો વિસ્ફોટ થતા અગણિત જીવાણુ ઊછળશે.

જીવાણુના પડછાયાથી સૂરજ ઢંકાશે તે રાત્રિ.

પૃથ્વીના પડ તોડતા

એક પછી એક. અનેક.

એમ તળ પાતાળ છેક છેદતા

ફરી ત્યાંથી અફાટ એ જ આકાશ ઘૂઘવતું દેખાય એ દિવસ.

આરસ મેજ ચોરસ પાથરી બેઠો હતો

અને મેજ પર હાથ ઢોળાયેલો.

આઘેઆઘેના પથ્થરિયા મેદાનથી

ગબડતું સફરજન આવી

મારા પગ કને થંભી ગયું છે.

Translation of the given poem:

State / Condition/ Hands Spilt on Table

Neither rises nor sets the sun

Pale face

Hands spilt on table

My ancestors buried beneath ample of apples

Shuttle moving in space

Splitting planets and constellation, it’s me

A sudden explosion of mine causes a blast of innumerable minute creatures.

Sun covered by its shadow makes a night

Breaking down the layers of the earth

One after another…and many more…

Piercing abyss of the earth

And over there again seen endless sky that makes a day.

Sitting around my marbled square table

Hands spilt on table.

From far away stony land

An apple moving towards me

Has stopped nearby my foot.

UK Translation Project Poems on River

Recently I finished my work on a recording for a UK based translation project. I recorded 9 tracks for Musical Presentation & Recitation of some English poems and some poems translated into Gujarati. It was a translation project for a UK based group of artists.

This group is basically working for Environment Change Awareness, mainly on 'rivers'. When they visited India in December 2008, they organized a workshop with some participants from Vallabh Vidyanagar at the bank of river Mahi. They wrote poems on river and made some paintings on river. Then few of these works were translated by Falguni Bharteeya and some other people. English poems were published by this group at UK.

Falguni Bharteeya and me worked on selected 9 works for its musical presentation and recitation. In this project, musical presentation, vocals and recitation are done by me.

These days Falguni Bharteeya is in UK for a seminar organized by this UK based group of artists and she would present all these 9 tracks over there.

I have also made a video of one of these 9 tracks which is a translated version of an English poem on flood. After this post I am going to upload this video created by me.

Following is the list of these 9 tracks:
1- The Day the Waters Came (by Ray Hearne)
2- Je Di Umti Aavya Pur (English poem by Ray Hearne and Translated by Falguni Bharteeya)
3- The Ice Is Melting Fast (by Julie Boden)
4- Tvara Thi Pigalto Baraf (English poem by Julie Boden and Translated by Falguni Bharteeya)
5- Sister Mahi (by Brian Lewis and Translated by Kiran Joshi)
6- River Mahi (by Alka Macwan)
7- Castleford on Aire (English poem by Brian Lewis and Translated by Falguni Bharteeya)
8- Opening Prayer (English poem by Siobhan Mac Mahon and Translated by Pranav Dave)
9- A River on the Deathbed (by Adam Tankarvi and Rajendrasinh Jadeja)

VISIT MUMBAI

Top 10 Things to See in Mumbai (Bombay), India

by Jim Ada (speak111)
Mumbai, India is a most fascinating place to visit. The city itself has a population of approximately 13 million. But when you add in a couple of the suburbs the number goes up to about 19 million. Hotel rooms are at a premium so be sure you have a reservation well in advance of going there or you may not be able to get a room. Do not try to drive yourself. Get a driver who knows how to navigate through what looks like a whole parking lot of vehicles coming at you at rapid speed.

1. Gateway of India
This landmark is where English King George V landed in India. The people of Mumbai made this beautiful memorial to him. Gandhi came back from South Africa and passed through this arch on his return.

2. Chor Bazaar
The literal translation of this market is the Thieves Market". If you love antiques this is the place for you. There is a whole neighborhood, or several streets of nothing but antique shops. You may find that treasure you have been looking for for years and at a great price.

3. Bhau Daji Ladd Museum
This is a wonderfully restored museum that displays an extensive and beautiful decorative collection of their arts. This may be the best overall museum in Mumbai. It is worth the trip to see this museum.

4. Haji Ali Mosque
An unforgettable sight, at sunset, you can look out at the jetty sitting in the Arabian Sea and see this wonderful mosque silhouetted in the sky. It is a beautiful white mosque built to honor the Muslim saint Haji Ali and houses his remains.

5. Cowpatty Beach
You come here for the excitement of seeing the people, the food stalls and the tantalizing Indian food that is available to try. This is that place girls and boys find each other for a romantic stroll on the beach. There is also a Ferris wheel that does not have a motor. It is run by young men climbing on top of the wheel, then jumping on the next rung down making the wheel rotate.

6. Mani Bhavan Gandhi Museum
This is the two-story building where Mahatma Ghandi once lived. It is now a museum, library and research center. It is all about Ghandi 's life and the many struggles that took place for India to receive its freedom peacefully. This is a very remarkable place.

7. Flora Fountain
Found in Martyr 's Square and in the heart of Mumbai 's business district, a very ornate and stately fountain.

8. Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus
A masterpiece of Gothic architecture and stained-glass windows, this is India 's most beautiful railway station. It has towering spires, domed arches and buttresses and pillars of animal images carved into them.

8. Mahatmy Jyotiba Phule Market
The local people call this market Crawford Market and it is a must see. It is housed in a building that looks like something right out of Victorian London. You will find little shops and stalls everywhere selling vegetables, pickles, chocolates, toothpaste, meats, camera items and much more. This is a place you will want to see.

9. Jehangir Art Gallery
The gallery exhibits art from the past to the present. An art gallery that Indian artist want to have their work exhibited in because of its prestige.

10. Esselworld
An amusement park and water park combined just north of Mumbai. This is the place to get away from the city and relax for a few hours or a day. A great family place where you can enjoy the charm of India.
