अटलांटा की ठंडी फुहारों में भारत की मिट्टी की सौंधी खुशबू का एहसास। जब सावन के बादल यहाँ भी वही राग सुनाते हैं...
शब्द जब सुरों में ढलते हैं तो केवल कविता नहीं, बल्कि आत्मा का संवाद बन जाते हैं। पंडित नरेंद्र शर्मा जी के गीतों की यादें...
सात समंदर पार रहने वाले भारतीयों के लिए हिंदी भाषा केवल माध्यम नहीं, बल्कि हमारी पहचान का मजबूत स्तंभ है...
