          The poems in poetry collection ‘Ganga Ji ka Jau Chhan Bhaiji’ by Dinesh Dhyani are nothing but sever pain of a migrated Garhwali that knows that he will never return back his motherland. The poetry collection is crying alone by a migrated Garhwali poet. 

             Dinesh Dhyani is multitalented Garhwali language creative settled in Delhi. 

           There are 63 poems in the present first poetry collection by Dinesh Dhyani. No doubt there are different subjects as spirituality, philosophy, rituals, relationship breaking pain, emotions, contemporary society, and social changes; false development, poverty;  looting by politicians, administrative class and middle men in this  poetry collection. However, most of poems ultimately show the pain of a migrated Garhwali for a situation that is not in his control that he will never be able for resettling in Garhwal. 

                Dinesh shows that the life in Garhwal is simple and stresses less but we only spoiled the life (Gaun ka hal).

कै विकास क बान स्वाच

कूण –कूणों छां लुक्यांहम ?

जन्म भूमि ख्न्द्वार कैकी

कै विकास कि पौ धना छां हम

  Migrated Dinesh Dhyani repeatedly remembers his village in many poems and shows his concern for wrong happenings in Garhwal as in ‘jandari’ poem. 

पैलि बिनसरि म

घर गौं म

घघरांदि छै जंदरि

 Dinesh Dhyani shows his pain in Garhwali ku Batu

भैजि बल

गढवाळ कु बाटू

 कनै गैं ह्वालु ?

  There are satires with rage in various poems and at the same time there is helplessness too –

अब क्य कन

हमुन अपणी खैरि

कैम ब्वन ?

         The poems are of modern style, less of rhyme in nature. Famous poet Prem Lal Bhatt remarks that the poems of Dinesh Dhyani are nearer to intellectualism. This author calls such poets as poets of Bahgunavadi. 

  Dinesh Dhyani used tens of symbols (new and old) for creating desired images as खुंच्या, हिटै, कुटै, चुंगा, भयों क बांटा , चौनकोट्या बांद and many more .

 Dinesh uses as per need the proverbs and saying marvelously. Dinesh uses standard Garhwali but there are dialects of Nainidanda .  

 The poems are enjoyable and readers definitely will wait his next poetry collection.
