To meet an author whom we admire is really a great opportunity. Today, I've been fortunate to meet an author Dhruv Bhatt.
Dhruv Bhatt is renown author in Gujrati literature. I've grown up with reading his novels, from Samudrantike" to "Agnikanya"and today I got an opportunity to meet him live at our University campus MKBU.
I expect that He will be different from his writing. I mean I thought he have atitude like big celebrity as many authors have, but He looks so normal as any simple man. He sung some Bhajans and very famous poem...

ઓચિંતુ કોઇ મને રસ્તે મળે ને
કદી ધીરેથી પૂછે કે કેમ છે ?
આપણે તો કહીએ કે દરિયા શી મોજમાં
ને ઉપથી કુદરતની રહેમ છે.
કદી ધીરેથી પૂછે કે કેમ છે ?
આપણે તો કહીએ કે દરિયા શી મોજમાં
ને ઉપથી કુદરતની રહેમ છે.
ફાટેલા ખીસ્સાની આડમાં મૂકી છે અમે
છલકાતી મલકાતી મોજ;
એકલો ઊભું ને તોયે મેળામાં હોઉં એવું
લાગ્યા કરે છે મને રોજ,
તળું વસાય નહીં એવડી પટારીમાં
આપણો ખજાનો હેમખેમ છે….
આંખોમાં પાણી તો આવે ને જાય
નથી ભીતર ભીનાશ થતી ઓછી;
વધઘટનો કાંઠાઓ રાખે હિસાબ
નથી પરવા સમંદરને હોતી,
સૂરજ તો ઊગે ને આથમી યે જાય
મારી ઊપર આકાશ એમનેમ છે….
His simplicity and spark in his eyes touched my heart. I hope that Dhruv Dada also felt happy with us because meeting fans is amazing but meeting any readers is always boost.
Moreover, the organizer of this entire event, Mahendrasinh Parmar and Student of Gujrati dept. MKBU presented one small and really beautiful play of Labhshankar Thakar named Kudrati.
At the end, I would like to say Thank you to Mahedrasinh Parmar for organizing such wonderful event.
