Geer Pataroo”, a collection of Dogri poetry, has been penned by a noted writer, P L Parihar. This poetry book has especially been designed and styled in simple easy to comprehend way for children.
This 175-page book containing 151 Geets in Dogri was released at a well-attended function held on February 4, 2017 at KL Saigal Hall in the J&K State Cultural Academy complex, Jammu. It was arranged by the Dogri Sanstha, a premier organization of the Dogri language and Duggar’s cultural heritage.
Mr Parihar has already composed a collection of Dogri poetry written for the children which has been well received by the readership. His present presentation poetic composition suits well to the needs and taste of the children.
I liked particularly the stanza in one of the Geets which follows:
Badhlii Jabh bi taarein shandhi ae
Mann bimbli pondda ae
Aap Moaarre Kushain
Gubbe geet phi chitle gandhe ae
( When high mountain are covered by cloud, every mind gets over-powered with songs of excitement and joy)
Mark the simplicity of language, the theme and the subject which is close to heart of teen-aged.
The book has educative and entertainment value and the readers will find it interesting and informative. Writing literature for the children is a hard task as it to be tailored to the special needs, interest and psychological requirements. Mr Parihar has done a service to the society especially the children.
