I have written over 160 poems in hindi and english put together. And now I have begun an attempt to translate/write in German (Deutsch). It’s part of the process of learning the language. I have received great support from my friend Tina and my German teacher in Chennai. I know I don’t have too many german readers on my blog now but here is what I look forward to do during most of 2007.
Regen (Rain)
Komm,
lass uns im Regen spazieren
lass uns nass werden
lass uns hören was jeder Tropfen zu sagen hat
lass uns Hände halten, auf ewig
Komm,
lass uns wieder Liebe machen
in diesem Regen
Komm,
lass uns wieder Regen machen
mit dieser Liebe.

English Version
Come,
lets walk in this rain
lets get drenched
lets hear what every drop has got to say
lets hold hands, forever.
Come,
lets make love
In this rain again
Come,
lets make rain
With this love again.
