अगर आपकी तलाश आपको किसी कहानी कहने वाले तक

लेकर आयी है तो आपका सोचना ग़लत है। कहानियों को

कहने के लिये किसी ज़ुबान के सहारे की ज़रुरत नहीं है वे

तो हमेशा ख़ुद ही ख़ुद को कहती आयी है। ये तो उन ज़ुबानों

का दर्द है जो कहानी का बहाना लेती हैं अपना दर्द बताने के

लिए। यदि आपको फिर भी मेरी बात पर यक़ीन नहीं है तो

आइये फिर मिलते हैं कभी। मैं यक़ीन के साथ कह सकता

हूँ कि मुझे सुनकर आपको दर्द होगा और आप भी मजबूर

हो उठेंगे अपनी कहानी कहने को।

 

जो मैं हूँ बस वही मैं नहीं हूँ। मैं किताबों में बंद हूँ,

Amazon और Flipkart सोचते हैं वो मुझे बेच रहे है। मुझे

कभी-कभी हंसी आती है ये सोच कर मुझसे भी कोई फायदा

उठा सकता है क्या? आज तक ख़ुद से कोई फ़ायदा मुझसे

तो उठाया नहीं गया।

 

ख़ैर! बंदे को लोकेश गुलयानी कहते हैं।  सात (7) किताबें लिखने 

का गुनाह कर चुका हूँ। पेशे से जनसम्पर्क सलाहकार हूँ।

शब्दों, जज़्बातों से खेल कर जब उकता जाता हूँ तो सोचने लग

जाता हूँ फिर कोई नयी कहानी पहले से गहरा ज़ख्म

देने के लिये।

 

बुला कर मुझे सुनने का ख़तरा उठाना चाहते हैं तो नीचे दिये

नंबर और ईमेल पर संपर्क करें।

If you're here for good stories then you could

be wrong. Stories doesn't require any storyteller

to tell them. They are capable enough to express

themselves. It is the pain of the storyteller, who

needs help of a story to vent it out. If you don't

believe then let's meet someday, I am sure once

you'll hear me out then you'll be compelled to tell

your story too.

 

What I am, is exactly, what I am not. Amazon

and Flipkart, they think they are selling my stories

and making profit out of it. Sometimes I wonder

and laugh that how can anyone can make profit

out of me, when I myself ain't capable to do so?

 

I am Lokesh Gulyani. Author of 07 Hindi-Fiction

and Poetry books. By profession, I am a PR consultant.

I live in Jaipur on weekends and I work in Bhopal

on weekdays. Whenever I feel like bored by playing

with words,  I start to think of a new story to wound

myself with greater pain.
