Three, and What Lies Beyond It / तीन, और उसके पार

When we published our first two issues, we were confident about our English content; it was the Hindi that worried us. Several poems in this issue have eased that worry, and, like the silent fourth of AUM, they point to potential still unfolding. Hindi is our growing edge, and we invite you to send us your Hindi poetry, prose and essays. Three issues in, the fourth is the one not yet written.

अपने पहले दो अंक प्रकाशित करते समय हमें अंग्रेज़ी सामग्री को लेकर विश्वास था; चिंता हिन्दी की थी। इस अंक की कई कविताओं ने उस चिंता को हल्का किया है, और ॐ के मौन चतुर्थ की तरह वे उस संभावना की ओर इशारा करती हैं जो अभी खुल रही है। हिन्दी हमारी बढ़ती हुई सीमा है, और हम आपसे निवेदन करते हैं कि अपनी हिन्दी कविताएँ, गद्य और निबंध हमें भेजें। तीन अंकों के बाद, चौथा वही है जो अभी लिखा जाना शेष है।
