A Poet's Parables has been compiled, edited and translated by Roopa Vajpeyi to celebrate the memory of her husband Kailash Vajpeyi-a poet and a thinker, a charismatic personality with a mesmerising voice and a vast and variegated spectrum of interests, ranging from poetry and literature to music, religion, philosophy, psychology and esoteric disciplines like astrology, Tantra and quantum physics. These parables throw light on universal human dilemmas, leaping across geographical boundaries, historical contexts and linguistic barriers. They make all humanity one in its suffering, joys and conflicts. We are human and we experience happiness and sorrow, we face similar problems despite our differences. This is the message of these little tales, as also the fact that there is always a solution, sometimes a very simple one, which is happenstance and waiting to be lighted upon. The translations from Hindi into English will make them accessible to a larger readership.
