Today is the 100th birth anniversary of famous writer Amrita Pritam. On this occasion, Google has made a Special doodle on its homepage, giving them respect.
Amrita Pritam in the role of her Autobiography 'Rasidi Ticket' wrote – 'All my compositions, what poetry, what story, what novel, are all like an illegitimate child. The reality of my world flirted with my mind's dream and these compositions were born out of his forbidden combination. The fate of an illegitimate child is his fate and he has spent his entire life on the forehead of literary society'.
Amrita had requested a painter Sethi to design the cover of her book 'Aakhri Khat'. Sethi said that he knows a person who can do this work better than him named Emroz. At Sethi's behest, Amrita spoke to Emroz. At that time he used to work in the Urdu magazine Shama. Emroz designed the cover of this book at her behest. This is how slowly and gradually the love story o9f Amrita and Imrose started.
"She liked the design as well as the artist." After that, the process of the meeting started. We both lived nearby. Emroz in South Patel Nagar and that in West Patel Nagar. "
"Once Emroz went to meet her just like this. In normal conversation he said that he was was born today. People are born in villages but they don't have birthdays. She got up for a minute, went out and Then came back and sat down. After a while, a servant came out while placing a cake on the plate. She cut the cake and gave me a piece and took one herself. Neither did she say Happy Birthday nor did I thanked her after eating the cake. Just our eyes made us feel sure that we are both happy".
This was just the beginning between Amrita and Emroz, but years before Amrita's mind had an imaginary lover present and named her Rajan. Amrita made this name the first subject of her life. Once Amrita had told that when she was studying in school, she wrote a book. She planned to carry this book into her pocket to hide it from all thinking that she would go to school and tell her friend.
Amrita went to her father to ask for some money. He did not want to give that money in her hand and he put it in her pocket. Her father kept money into the same pocket. When the father's hand fell on that sight, they took it out and read it. Then asked her if she wrote it? Amrita lied that her friend had written it. They caught the lie and read it again. After reading, asked who is this Rajan?
Amrita said, no one. He did not believe her. The father slapped her hard and tore the paper. Amrita says, "It was my first encounter. I wanted to impose my name on someone else by lying, but that name was taken again with my name. "
