There is something magical about Harindra Nath Chattopadhyay’s poems for children. We often heard them on Alashvani radio in 50s and 60s. A poem entitled “Railgadi” is already on this site. Here is another gem! ‘Nanu ki nani ki nav chali’ became ‘Nina ki nani ki nav chali’ in the famous Ashok Kumar film “Aashirwad” in which Harindra Nath acted also. Those with children must read this poem to them. Rajiv Krishna Saxena.
