कृत्या वेब पत्रिका आज ही देखने का अवसर मिला। सबसे अधिक आश्चचर्य
यह हुआ कि इसे तिरुअनंतपुरम जैसे गैर हिन्दी भाषी क्षेत्र से निकाला
जा रहा है। मैं बीते डेढ़ बरस से बैंगलोर में बतौर संपादक वनइंडिया
और एओएल हिन्दी के लिए कार्यरत हूं। नेट ही एक मात्र जरिया है
हिन्दी साहित्य और भाषा के करीब रहने का। साहित्य से गहरा जुड़ाव
रहा है। हिन्दी साहित्य नेट पर अधिक से अधिक उपलब्ध हो सके यही मेरा
सपना है। आशा है आप लोगों से संपर्क बना रहेगा।

Dear Rati ji
Thanks for your nice letter. It was indeed your initiative and
enthusiasm
that made Kritya-2008 a memorable event. I met so many new
distinguised
literary personalities of India and from abroad. I will not
forget those
three days. Say my hello to your lovely daughter shelbha (sp.)
and please
extend my thanks to her - my poems were perfectly displayed in
English.
Hoping to remain in touch
and with best regards
Ajmer rode

Hello Rati,
I met you briefly at the Kritya festival in Chandigarh with
Satyapal Sehgal.
What you are doing is tremendous.
I wish our city and Punjab could have done better.
Please put me on your mailing list and inform me about your
activities.
Fond Wishes,
Nirupama

Dear Rati,
It is I who should thank you! It was a wonderful occasion of
interaction and a herculean task that you managed to arrange
Kritya-2008.
I reached Itanagar last evening. Feeling a bit tired after so
much travelling. But I hope we will meet up again and maybe you
will visit the north east too.
For now, with much love and many thanks again,

Rati, I am enjoying reading the Festival issue of Kritya. Thank
you
for your contribution to the world's poetry. I agree with your
Festival's mission:
"Poetry is indeed the most neglected but most important path to
real
knowledge and understanding in modern society. It is a human
approach
that will help us understand our universe, environment, society
and
self. This is the understanding which would lead us to more
enduring
resolutions."
I so appreciated your invitation to attend your Festival and
wish I
could have been there in person, but I was with you in spirit. I
will
certainly relish reading the gifts contained in Kritya.
All best--Kim Kimberly L. Becker

Dear Rati,
I want to wish you all the best with your festival and also tell
you how deeply saddened I am by what has just happened in your
country--my heart is with the people of Bombay (the place I
always wanted to go) and with all of India and especially with
you for all your kindness and inspiration and your strength of
character to create such a beautiful event and to work so hard
for what is truly important. I will be with you in spirit at the
festival!
Thank you for your beautiful spirit--

Dear Rati,
I am very thankful to have won the contest. I had no idea when I
entered that I would
win, and almost did not enter because I didn't think I could
win. It came as a big
surprise. And it was wonderful to have my book distributed at
the festival.
I have seen the website and it looks nice. All my poems can run
togetther without
titles. Is that a picture of the cover--the woman holding the
bird against the black
background with the title "Elegies for Mary?" What a beautiful
cover!
I would like to know (out of curiosity) how many entered the
contest? This is such a
wonderful thing. I can be happy about it for months..

another mexican poets.
Thanks again for your hospitality and friendship.

Dear Ratiji
congratulations on the just-concluded poetry festival! I read
Linda Benninghoff's poems. They are a delight. In fact the whole
Kritya issue is a very sophisticated collection.
You had asked me to get in touch with you in December. I have a
submission for the next issue for the section "in the name of
poetry"... Four poems and four sketches. You can say they are
visual poetry.
Please let me know when I can send them to you. In the
meanwhile, I have had poems published in SHEHER anthology (Frog
Books), Lit Up Music, Muse India and The Tornonto Quarterly,
also a fiction coming up in a collection (Mirage Books).
Take care.

Dear Rati,
thank you so much, it is lovely to see them in Hindi.
I am now back in Estonia. The weather was gloomy for the first
days, but now it is
snowing, which is nice. I will be opening an art exhibition next
week and keep busy with
creative works. Life goes on.
Once again, thanks,
and hope to hear from you again.
With best regards,
Margus Lattik

Pyare Shri Rati Saxena,
I've received your kind mail and I visited
your site: it is very interesting and very nice and it opens
heart to
see how many people believe in the Art as mean of growing,
spiritual
and human.
So this Festival was celebrated in Chandigarh: I hope one
day to come and visit India, Chandigarh in special way!
I'd like to
give my contribute to your poems journal with some poems of
mine.
Visit my site: www.lucianadepalma.it and tell me.
Hope to hear you
soon,
Aapke praabhat shubh,
Namaste

नमस्ते रति,
चंडीगढ़ से लखनऊ लौटते समय रेल में "कृत्या-2008 : एक कविता रपट"
शीर्षक से 10 कविताएँ लिखी थीं। उस समय कागज़ के नाम पर मेरे एअर
टिकट का फ़ोल्डर ही था पर्स में। यहाँ आकर वह फ़ोल्डर कहीं गुम गया
और मुझे लगा कि वह खो गया है। कल अचानक कुछ किताबें रखते उठाते वह
मिल गया। देर तो हो गई है फिर भी इसे टाइप कर के भेज रही हूँ। शायद
आपको अच्छा लगे। ये कविता-रपट (रिपोर्ट) कृत्या 2008 में प्रस्तुत
किए गए, कविता-फिल्म में, कविता गीत में, कविता ध्वनि में, आदि
प्रयोगों से प्रभावित है।
कृत्या काव्योत्सव के विषय में मैंने अभिव्यक्ति के 24 दिसंबर के
अंक में संपादकीय में भी लिखा था और समाचार भी दिया था। आपने देखा
होगा।
शुभकामनाओं सहित,
पूर्णिमा वर्मन

Kritya is very important to me.
John Guzlowski and I are getting some wonderful submissions of
poetry and I have asked a friend who is a published writer from
Detroit to write about Polish poetry from her perspective.
Kritya has these prose pieces in some issues about various
topics regarding poetry and I wanted to include something
similar. I also have art by Poles in the public domain which can
be used, so we are well on our way to at least "filling" up the
May 2009 Kritya!!!! Thank you again for giving me the
opportunity to do this fine work!!!
Happiest holidays to you and your family!!
Warmly,
Christina Pacosz
