 LOVE    FOR   ALL  !!




Yes whoever says love, ishq , pyar , or whatever is confined to a certain age limit? All bull shit !! Anything which supports this uncouth idea should be condemned vehemently by all " like minded people " the proverb very frequently used in our profiles here !! How can one limit this great human feeling to the confines of a select group only ? In   whatever  form   this    cruel    thought  is  expressed  ,  a story , a novel , a picture , or a song , cannot     be  accepted !!

Yeah it is all about a song friends ! One day as I was driving to my office in my car , I put my car stereo on , the local FM channel was churning out all latest hits. With the beat of the song my car was speeding along the wide road of Nagpur rhythmically . I was also humming along with the song and driving .Whatever you may say about Nagpur but you cant say anything about its roads and very flowing and the smooth traffic. As rhythmic as the song .

.And there was this change in the song from the radio station . It was a very nice song "Ishq  hota nahin sab ke liye ...Yeh gunah hai ......", a beautiful song from the film "Joggers Park " , sung equally beautifully byAdnan Sami . I was enjoying the song , but then suddenly the meaning and the message in the song struck me like a hammer ! Hey what is this yar ? You too ??? Subhash Ghai , the producer of the film , of all the people , telling this to us ? Why should ishq   not  be  for all the people? Is love any job application or the admission process to any college where there is an age bar ? Men above 40 and women below 18 need not apply ???? Come on Ghai Saheb be sporting yar ! You yourself are going on strong with your all much younger heroines and starlets and when our turn comes you are ready with this song ???? Unfair unfair unfair .. and there I see the red trafiic light , had to brake my car to a stop , but not to my thoughts.

I will have to do something about it . Why not a PIL against the producer ? Govinda may not know fully about the siginficance of PIL but I know what it can do to the cause of ageless ishq. What good it can do to the believers in the pure and sublime love without any boundary of age , caste , color ??

I could see Ghai Saheb standing in front of the Judge and saying

"MY Lord , I bow down   to the  greater   and  wider interest of  the  PIL .
and the wonders it will do to the cause of ishq , love and pyar without any bondage of age .Thus I agree to change the lines of my song from "Ishq   hota nahin sabke liye ...." to "Ishq  hota hai ji sabke liye .......!"  At   this  noble   statement   of  Ghai  Saheb , everyone   present  in the  court   stood up   and  started   apllauding  him  vehemently !  But  suddenly  I  discover     these   apllauses    changed   to  ear  splitting   honkings  of  car-horns   behind me . The  traffic  signal  had changed to GREEN .

I had a wide grin on my face and humming the new lines of the song "Ishq   hota  hai ji sab ke liye ..... "  cruised ahead with the traffic, happy  and  rejoicing  at  the  great success of my PIL ...and for the greater cause of the ageless ishq !!!!!!!!! 







P.S.  This  post   though a  repeat  one  , but  like  the Ageless Ishq   , the  post  too  is  ageless !!

TWO   COUNTRIES , TWO  WAYS  TO  PROTEST !



























   Italian    senators   protesting  against  a  bill , sitting  down  peacefully .  

































                                      How  our   RS  members  protested  makes screaming  
                             headlines  in  the  newspapers !
                                      



To  day   ,while   I  was  surfing  through   the  net , accidentally   came  across   a  picture  where   they   showed   how  senators in Italy    protested   against  a  bill .
It  was  in  marked  contrast   to   what   we  are  used  to  see very  often  in our    parliament  houses , and  the  latest  gimmick   in the  Rajya  Sabha     surpassed   all the  previous  records  !

Just   imagine   Italy    a  country   notorious  for  its  Sicilian  Mafioso Gangs  , who  wield  guns  for  the  slightest    provocations  , their  Senators   protesting  so  peacefully  and  in a  very  democratic  manner . Whereas  in  India  , the  country   of  Lord  Budha   and  Mahatma  Gandhi    who   gave   their  lives    preaching   for  peace  and    tolerance  , our  MPs   , showing  their  dissents  and  disagreements  ,  in  a  manner   so  disgraceful  , it  makes   screaming and  painful    headlines in our  news  papers  ! 

What   a  contrast  ! 

When  will  our    representatives    truly    learn   the  values  and  practices    of  Democracy  ?  When   will they   start    behaving  in the  manner   befitting  to  a  country   which  is  supposed  to  be  the  spiritual   leader  of  the  world  ? 

When   ?  Just  when  ??? 



HAS    ANYONE     THE    ANSWER   ???

This  piece  of  write  up   is    purely a  figment  of imaginations of  the  author  , any  resemblance  with  any  person , place  or  event   is  a  mere  coincidence !
There  is nothing  between the lines  . It  is pure  humour  and  experts  of  reading  between the  lines  should  refrain from doing  so  !



As  Wheer  ji  entered   his  office  to  day  morning  , he  could  smell  something  different  in  the  air  ! When  he  pushed  the  door  open  and  stepped   in  ,  a  fragrant  surge   of   womanly   ,  and  familiar  perfume  hit  him   on his   face  !  He  could  not  contain  the   wide  grin  !  

"So   Rosy    is  back   !  Hey   I  thought   you  would  never  come  !"

"Come  on  Boss  , you  know  better , even  I  missed  the   actions   so  much   !"

"  I  thought  the  actions    on  the  island    had  taken  better   of  you !"  Quipped  Wheer  ji  with  a  mischievious  smile  !

"Ha  !  Ha  !  Boss   is  getting  J  , I  can smell  !  Just  see   how  much  I  love  these  actions  , I  have  already   lined   up  an  interview   for  you  with  Varun   Gateley    !  Guess   what  may  be  the  topic  ??"

"And  what  could  Rosy  cook  up  so  fast  ? " Wheer  ji  showed  his  eagerness .

"The  most  burning   topic , Women's  Reservation !" 

"OH  Rosy    you are   fantastic  , it  did  not  take  you  even  a  moment  to tune  yourself   to   the  current    situations   here  !
What   is  Wheer ji   without  Rosy  ??  "

"OK , OK  , Boss !  now  rush  to   Gately 's  office   , they  have  already    rang  up  thrice  since  the  morning   for  you   !  "   Said  Rosy  cutting  him  short  ! 

Wheer  ji  knew  better   what  to  do  ! 

As  soon  as  Wheer  ji   reached  Gately  Saheb's  office  , they  were  closetted  in  his  chamber  and   the business   at  its  most  earnest   started  !

Wheer  ji  "  Sir  ,  I  must  not  waste    your   precious  time  , I  know  you  have  to rush  to   the   Upper   House    of the  Parliament !" 

Gately  Saheb "  Right   you  are  Wheer  ji  , I am impressed  with   your    concern  for  our  time  which  is  so   scarce   these  days   with  very  frequent   adjourments  of  the  House  ! " 

Wheer  ji  muttered  "As  if  the  adjournments  are  done  by  the  people  ? " 

Gately  Saheb  immediately  reacted  " Did  you  say  something  ?" 

Wheer  ji   quickly replied  " Oh  nothing  Sir  , shall  we  start  ? "

Gately  " Sure  ! " 

Wheer  ji  fired  his  first  salvo  , " Sir  your  party  and the  ruling  party  are  always   opposing  each  other   in all the  issues  , but  on Women's  Reservation ,  what  made  you   go with  them  so    steadfastly  ? "

 Gately  , " Oh  Wheer  ji   you  are  brilliant  . The  question  is  right  on  the target . I  am  impressed ! Well  Wheer  ji   when  the  question  of  the    countrie's  prestige  is  at  stake  , we  have  to  join  hands  !We   have  to  rise   above  our  petty   interests   ! "


"And  how   do  you   connect    Women's  Reservation  with  our  national  prestige  Sir  ?"  asked  Wheer  ji .

" It  is  like  this . You  must have  seen  the   dwindling   interest  of  our  parliamentarians  in  attending  the  parliament  sessions . Some  of  them  have  hardly  attended  the  sessions  throughout  their  term . We   thought   to  make  the   houses   a  bit interesting   and  colourful  so  that   MPs   should  have  some    valid  reasons    to  attend  the  sessions  . And  what    better    way  to  introduce   colour   and  variety    than   bringing    our  fair  sex   in larger   numbers  to  the  houses  ?? Do  you  get  me  Wheer  ji  ? " Said  Gately  Saheb  winking  at  Wherr  ji  !  

"I  do get  you   Gately  Saheb  , just  brilliant  idea    Sir ! " 

" If  not    for  the     serious  issues   at  least  for  their    personal  issues    the  MPs   will  attend  the  sessions  !  And   the  frequent  commotions  , unruly    behaviours   , all those  things  will   be   matters of  distant  past only  . They    will be  at  the  best    of  their  behaviour    to  impress    our  lady   representatives  !"

"Simply    brilliant  thinking    Sir  ! "

"  SO  Wheer  ji  just  think  how  much  prestige    the    disciplined  behaviour    is  going   to  bring  to our country  . OUrs  will  be  the  most    well behaved   parliament house   in  the  world ! " 

"  Certainly  Sir  ,  the  womenfolks   can    surely  keep   our   MPs   glued  to  their  seats !  I  must    appreciate    how  much  power    our  women  wield    in  keeping    the  prestige  of  our  country  in  tact  ! "

And Wheer  ji   came  out    of  Gately  Saheb's   room  !


Long  live   the  women    and   longer    their   reservations   in the  parliament  house  !!!

Subeh  , teri  baat hi  kuch  aur  hai !
Naa  thandi  na  garmi  
Hawaon  mein  narmi 
Panchion  ka  chahchahana, 
Na awaaz  naa  koi  shor  hai  
Subeh   teri  baat  hi  kuch  aur  hai  !

Raat  thee  kaali  
Maan  thaa  bechain  
Boore  thhe   sapne   
Bhare  thhe  mere  nain !
Tum aayin , hua  ujala  
Phaili   suraj   ki keeran charon  or  hai 
Subeh  teri  baat  hi kuch  aur  hai  !

Bhayanak  thhe  woh  pal 
Asha  aur  nirasha   ke   thhe kshan 
Jindagi  apne  haath  rahi thi  mal  
Par  door  khadi   too  muskurayi 
Dekha  maine  tujhe  
Saamne  paya  naya  sabera hai , nayi  bhor hai 
Subeh  teri  baat  hi  kuch  aur  hai  !


Na  thaandi  na  garmi 
Hawaon  mein narmi
Panchion ka  chahchahana 
Na  awaaz  na  koi  shor  hai 
Subeh  teri  baat  hi  kuch  aur  hai  !!




 ENGLISH  TRANSLATION .

Morn  thou hath  thine  own charm
Neither cold nor warm
Soft  is the  breeze
Chirping  of  the  birds
NO  noise  , no  alarm
Morn  thou  hath  thine  own charm  !

Dark  was  the  night
Restless  were  the  thoughts
Horrid  the  dreams 
Welling  eyes 
You   showed  , and appeared the  brightness
Spread  the  sunshine all  around 
Morn  thou  hath  thine  own  charm  !

Dreadful  were the moments
A  time of  hope  and  despair 
Life  was   so  helpless
But     you  gave  me  a  distant   smile 
I  saw  you 
There  was  the new  day  break , new  dawn
Morn  thou hath  thine  own  charm !

Neither cold  nor  warm
Soft  is  the  breeze
Chirping  of the birds
No noise  no  alarm
Morn  thou hath  thine  own  charm !

MAY I HELP YOU  RAJ THACKEREY    SAHEB  ??

This   is   one of  my  very   old  posts , but  I  find  that  the  situations   prevailing  now    have  not  changed  the  least  bit  , from  what  it  was  at  that time . It  was posted  in April  2008 .

 Posting  it  again    , let  us  hope  it  stirs   something  in us  !!  



Shri Thackerey Saheb may I take the trouble of helping you out in identifying the most dreaded and notorious men from UP and Bihar who have settled in Maharshtra for ages and have made such a place in the heart and mind of Maharashtrians that they are still ruling them ?

Maharashtrians are simply crazy about them and each year they celebrate their birthdays with so much devotion , reverence , ferver  and  bon  homie   that it is a  treat    to    watch  them  do  so  !

I am still not able to understand why you have not so far made any noise and halla gulla to throw them to their native places though they are polluting the mind of your people for centuries !

Well well ,I can understand your frowning   Sir  !  Why am I not being clear about these people and talking in Riddles ? I think now that a bit of curiosity has been aroused I will let you know the names of these culprits !

The first one is Lord Rama , birthplace Ayodhya situated in eastern UP near Bihar border . Birthday celebrated each year in Nagpur with the best of festive and celebrative mood of the people! 


The second one Lord Krishna , birthplace Mathura , a place situated in UP 
.Birthday celebrated each year !   The  whole  of  Maharashtra     reverberates    with   the   song   of  " Govinda  Aala " !  Lakhs   and  lakhs  of  money  spent   in prize  money    to  lower  the    Dahi  Handi   , climbing over  the  Human Pyramids  ,  which  constitute  of  the   youth  of  Maharashtrians , all  over  the  state  , filled  with    vigour  ,  enthusiasm   and  sheer   devotion  for  Lord  Krishna  !



The third one Lord Ganesha , took birth in the Himalayas situated in the northernmost heights . Birthday celebrated each year with so much devotion and reverence everywhere in Maharashtra !! 
This  festival    is   synonimous  with   Maharashtra   and  Maharashtrians . It  is  part  and  parcel   of  the  great   tradition and  culture  of  Maharashtra . For  ten  days    the  devoted   Maharashtrians    eat  , breathe  and  live    for  LORD  GANESHA  !! 

You can very well imagine Shri Thackerey how much these gentlemen have influenced your people for centuries and you are simply not taking any action to throw them out of Maharashtra so far  , though   they   belong  to  the  much  hated   part  of  India   by  you  and  your  ardent  followers  ! 

Please take a firm decision and win the popular vote bank of yours ! Throw them out of Maharashtra to the remotest corner of North India if you can !!!!

Can you ever do it Shri Thackerey Saheb ???????????

AN   OLD  POST - BUT A MUST  READ FOR  EVERYONE !



What  a  day  ! Wheer could not believe even in his wildest of wild dreams . Do such things happen ? But it was happening , imagine  the hottest of the hot ladies in gropper fighting for him !! He was on the ninth .. no the twelfth cloud will be  closer to his feelings ! He was dizzy with all the instant attention and fame he was getting. And it was only about one and a half months or so of his joining the site . He was overwhelmed with the love , affection and adulation poured on him by the marvellous ladies of gropper . Boy o boy was he happy ???And suddenly his mobile started ringing bringing him to the ground realities with a thud !!

"Report to the gropper office immediately.Boss is waiting foryou .Sir "the sweet voice of his boss's secretary announced.
"Why should he want to see me on a Sunday ? Anything wrong ?"
"Everything is wrong here Sir, please come fast ".By now he was thoroughly grounded and there was no trace of the effect of love , attention and the adulation...... whatever, any more .

He hurriedly went into the office , came out equally hurriedly , went to his house, packed his suitcase and started for the international airport for a flight to Washington D.C.

Yes , by now with two astounding successful interviews and the wide coverage given to them by the print and the visual media alike , and not to forget internet connectivity  of his site, the name of Wheer had crossed the seven seas  to the USA. Uncle  Sam was very eager to be interviewd by Wheer . 

As soon as the plane touched the airport , he came out  of the plane , he was received by the CIA agents and was straightaway whisked to the place of the interview .

He was taken to a big  Ranch outside the limits of the city , where uncle Sam lived . Uncle was waiting for him , he was ushered to his room and the agents left them alone of course standing outside the closed room making a very strict vigil .

"Ha Ha Ha Wheer ! make yourself comfortable buddy !! "
"Sure Sir, and thank you ! May I ask something ?"
"Buddy ,you are here to ask questions only , now shoot !! "
"How did you come to know about me ? I am a very small fry ."
"Oh , we have our own ways dear !! Nothing in this world happens without our knowledge  ! Our agents are all over the world, they may not know with whom their wives are flirting, but they sure know everything else !!"
"Yeah Sir , very efficient intelligence system you have !"
With this introductory querry Wheer knew  Uncle Sam was now in the right mood for his  further probes !

"Sir , we kill our female foetus but we can tolerate a woman President , you dont kill the female foetus but u cant see a woman being the President ? why so ?"
"Brilliant Wheer brilliant . I dont regret my calling you !! But the reason of Hillary Clinton losing the race to the Presidential nomination is not at all what u think. It has a very wide implication ! We have saved the world from another World War !'
" Is it so ? but how Sir , can you explain ?''
"of course Wheer , I have called u here only for this , so that u can tell your people, our point of view ."
"Thank you Sir"
"Do you know how friendly we Americans are ? we talk to everyone by his first name , pat their backs without much reasons , but Bushy went a bit too far with Queen Elizabeth . "
"What did the President do Sir ?"
"He winked at her!!!! .
UK cant do much about it , but suppose someone does the same with our woman President  will our hot American temper tolerate it? There will be bloodshed dear ! We cant tolerate. So we didnt want to take any risks , there are already enough reasons to start a war ! Dont want to add to it ".
"Oh  what  a noble cause Sir. The world should be thankful to the people of America that they were saved from a catastrophe ."
"Right Wheer right , the right word catastrophe . You are simply a genius !"

"Sir in your country why a woman worker gets paid only half the amount a man will get doing the same job ?"
"OH Wheer fantastic buddy , I never knew there are such sharp brains outside also . Your questions are so representative of what is happening here !!"
"Thank you Sir !" Wheer quipped.
"See my boy !! here also there is a deeprooted American philosophy behind it ."
"And what is that Sir ?"
"You must be knowing by now that our men are very demonstrative of their feelings ! They have to show everything , they dont believe in the subtle art of silence and keeping some emotions to themselves . You can imagine in work places how much man power and manhour is lost by our men in their demonstration of the love , affection and adulation they have for their female counterparts ?"
"But then Sir why to pay the women less ? " 
""To compensate for the lost manpower and manhour we pay the
 women less Wheer. It is the poetic justice in America !! "
"Fantastic idea Uncle Sam , the best example of the law of compensation!! "
"Right absolutely right !! You gotta brains buddy !! "
"And now the last one sir !!"
"Sure man , shoot !'
"So far I was asking what you are doing at home front. Now what about what you are doing outside your country ? This will show the world at large about all your good deeds outside also !"
"Oh am I pleased Wheer ?I bless the day I decided to call u here . Come on speak out !! "
"Sir everyone says that you are meddling too much in others affairs, I mean fighting the war for others , like in Vietnam , and now in Iraq ?"
"Now come on Wheer it is not something we are doing for our own prestige ., we are  and we have been fighting for the whole humanity dear ! The survival of the whole world depends upon this war !"
"And how is it so Sir ? "
"Have you heard about Weapon of Mass Destruction ?"
"Yes Sir "
"So ever since we heard about this WMD we are after it so that it is found and destroyed once for all  and we are all saved from the inhuman effects of this deadly weapon.  We tried to find it in Japan and Bombed it , we tried in Vietnam , then again in theArab war and now in Iraq . The search goes on and on Wheer . Dont worry unless we find it and destroy it completely we are not going to sit at rest !"
"But Sir half of Iraq is already bombed and u have not yet found any WMD so far ?"
"So what ? we will bomb every nook and corner if we have to but the WMD has to be found and destroyed . After all in this depends the survival of the whole humanity !"
"I am overwhelmed Sir , by this concern of yours for the human race at large ! America is great and greater is what it stands for . Long live the country of Uncle Sam !!!!!"

And Wheer came out of the room .Brimming with excitement at these revelations made by Uncle Sam and very eager to share it all back home !!He caught the next plane and was back again to his own country  and to the sweet memories of the small success in gropper . !!!!!



P.S. This is the  reproduction of  Wheer's interview which  was published in the Washington Ghost . 

For this brave and courageous reporting his name has been recommended for the Fulitzer award !!!!

      MOONWARD   HO   !!
































When  Wheerji    got  up  in the  morning  and  was  going  through  the  news  paper , with  sips from the    blissful  hot  cup  of  tea  , this  news  item  brought   bright  sparkles  in his  eyes  !  What    a  great   matter   for  his  next  interview  !

His  number  of  previous  inteviews   with    Jollywood   icons   had  become   quite  monotonous . He  wanted   to   shift  back  to   his   old  political   scenario  . And  what   better  opportunity  than  this  one  ?? Politicians  vying  for  the  Moon  ??  

He  made  a  mental  note  to  ask  Rosy  to  fix  an appointment  with  her   !  But  then  suddenly    he  remembered   his young ,  vivacious  , energetic      secretary    was   on  her  much  needed    holiday    with  her    young   , handsome  and  energetic  boy  friend  turned  finace'  !  They   were   holidaying  in some    obscure   pacific  island !  HER very  STRICT    orders   not   to  be  disturbed  , were  still ringing    in Wheerji's  ears  ! 

Left   with  no  other   choice  , Wheer  ji   rang  the  Lady himself    and  had    a   telephonic  interview    with  her   , this  morning  !


THE   INTERVIEW :

Wheer  ji ," Good  morning  Madam  ! " 

The  Lady  " Good  maaarning  Wheer  ji  , so  nice  aaf   you  to pick   me  for  your  interview  ! "

Wheer  ji "  Oh  , thanks  Madam . The  morning  news  paper   says   you   got  a  plot  on the  Moon  ?  " 

The  Lady "  Yeh  Wheer  ji  , my   munh bola  brother   gifted  me   !! Wheer ji   whaat   a    great   thing   ! " 

Wheer  ji  "  Yes  Madam  a  great gesture  indeed  . What   have   you  thought    you  will   do  with  that  Plot  ?? "

The  Lady "  Bhery  good  kostion , lissan   carfully  and  then  write  about  my  plans   about   the  Moon  Plat  . " 

Wheer ji  " Yes  Madam I  will ." 

The  Lady  ' Good  , first  I  will   open  a  braanch   aafice   aaf  my  party , before    some one  else   reaches  there ." 

Wheer ji " Thats  really   very    great   idea   Madam  !  A  party  office  on the  Moon  , great  !  What  next  ? "

The  Lady   "  Then  I  will     shift   aal   the  estatues    which  I   built  here , to  the  Moon !  The  Manuwadis   are  aalways   threatening  to  destray  them   ! "

Wheer  ji  "  Brilliant   Madam , a  brilliant idea . Moon  will be  the  safest  and  the  most  appropriate  place  for  those   marvels   in  stone !  "  

The  Lady "  Yes  Wheer  ji  you  are  right . After   that   I  have   plans  to   porpagate    my   Sossal   Engineering   kaancept    throughout  the  galaxy . I  will  start   fram  the  Moon !  Here    the  Manuwadi's     come  in  my    way    of  doing  so   !  "  

Wheer  ji  "  Yeah  Madam    Moon    is  free   from man  and  so  from the  Manuwadis  too , very  right    choice  !  "  

The  Lady  "  You  are  so  quick   to  follow  my  paaint  Wheer  ji  , I  will  tell  you  my  real   reason  now   to  be  aan  the  Moon  !" 

Wheer  ji  :" What  is  it  Madam  ? "  

The  Lady  " I   will  be   now   so   near  to  my    philosopher  , guide  and  mentor   , who   braat  me   to   the  position  where  I  am  now   !  "  

Wheer  ji  immediately   knew   whom  she  meant . She  meant  Late  Shri  Kanshi Ram  , the  founder   of  her  party  !  

With   the  mention  of  this   name    The  Lady  became  very  sentimental  , her   voice  choked   , she  could  not  say    anything  more  .  

And  the   line   went  dead   !!

India 88th best country to live,France tops list ! 




New Delhi, Jan 10 (PTI) India has moved up 35 places to become the 88th best country in the world to live, leaving behind nations like Russia and China, according to a survey. The rise has made India the second best place after Bhutan to live in the sub-continent, according to the 2010 Quality of Life Index, published by travel magazine International Living.

Overall, France topped the poll for the fifth consecutive year, followed by Australia, Switzerland, and Germany. The US lost four positions to end at seventh. 



The above  mentioned  news  report  did  make  me  feel   a  little  better . Most  of  the  time  we  get  very   negative  news  reports  regarding  our  Mahan  Bharat , we  are  always  at  the  receiving end . 

After  a  long long  time  I  could  see something  for  which  we  can  all be  proud  of  , and  the  most  tantalizing and  rejoicing  aspect  is  , we  are  way  above    our  Arch  Rivals  Russia  and  China ! 

This  only  goes  to  prove  that  if  we   have  the  will  we  can  do  it . 

But  this  is  not   such  a  great  achievement   that   we  should rest  upon these laurels , this  only  shows   our capabilities  , taking  this  as  a  cue  , we  should  move  forward  and   be  the : 
"BEST  COUNTRY  IN THE  WORLD  TO  LIVE !"  

This  is  the  right  and  most  deserving  position  we  are  entitled  to  !

WE  COULD  NOT  HAVE  EXPECTED  A  BETTER  WAY  TO   START   THE  YEAR  2010  !  

RISE   AND  SHINE  INDIA !

With  the advent  of  the  new  year  , most  of  us  discard  the  old  likes  and  dislikes and  try  to  carry  on with  new  ones ! But my  old  flame  of 1982  , struck  me  bad this  year ! 

Too bad  , got  mad  about  her!  There  was  a time  when I  could not  imagine  myself without  her . The  moment I  was  home from my  work , she  used  to  croon lovely  songs  , romantic  ones , ghazals , old  ones  new  ones  , you  name  them , she  used  to  churn  them  out  within no time . Without  her  sweet   good  night  never  used  to  sleep  ! She  was  my day  , she was  my  night !  Life  without her  was   a  life  without  life  !

Looks  ??  Shining  beauty , the  most  sleek  figure  I  ever  came across ! The  way  she  used   to  respond  to  my  fondles  and  touches  , oooh  !  Gives  shivers  to  me  even  now  !



















             With my  old  flame !


Ha  !  Ha  !  but  be  rest  assured  , she  was  non of  the  Anjus , Manjus  or  the  Madhus !  She  was  my   pet  music  system  PHILIPs  Hi Q system !  Record  player  cum amplifier . 

Very  much  in  vogue   during those  days .  Those  were  the  days  of  records  and  audio cassettes  only . I  think  most  of this  generation might  not  have  even  seen a  record  !I have  uploaded  this  picture  for  their  benefit  !

Well with  time  the  technology   changed  ,records   were  replaced   by   audio  tapes   and  in turn   tapes  were   replaced  by   CD s   and  now  CD s  too  are  giving  in   to  DVDs  and  the  FM   radio   channels  , which are  churning  out  quality   music  24X7  !  

I  too  followed  the  change  and  didn't  want  to  be  left  behind  !  And  my   old  flame   was   mercilessly dumped  on the  loft  of  my  flat  , to  gather   thick layers  of  dust and  time  ! A  betrayal  of  the highest  order  ! 


TIME  : ONE  DAY  LAST  WEEK  OF  DECEMBER 2009

I  was   in a  mood  to  give  new  look  to  our    drawing  room , new  look in a  new  year  , was  the  slogan !  We  were  having  a look  at  things  which  we  could  do away  with , and  came  across  the  neatly    arranged   rows  of  my  old  records  , kept  in the  cupboard . And  heap  of  audio cassettes  !  I remembered   how  on each  of  the  first day  of  every  month , I  used  to  buy  a  record  , this was  so  regular a habit  with  me  , like  an  addict  !!  And  to  do away with   these  records  ??  And  the heap  of  audio  tapes  ??  How  to  just   throw  them  away  ? 

And  I  remembered  my old  flame  , my  beauty whom  I  had  mercilessly dumped  . Got  her  down  from the  loft , wiped  the  dust  carefully  off her  sleek  body  !  Though  time  did take its  toll on her  too . But  still the  old  world  charm   had  to  be  there  !  The  system  is  a versatile  one  , apart  from the  recordplayer  , it  has  an amplifier  which  can play FM radio   and  the  tape  recorder  too  through  its  60W  booming  speakers   The  need  was  to  have  the  connecting  chord  with one  end  having  a  five  pin connector . An obsolete  item these  days. The  other  requirement  was  a  TWO-IN-ONE   , tape  player  cum FM band radio . 

My  other  flame  in the picture above  , yeah  the  one sitting  behind  me  , came  to  my  rescue  !  She  is  now  a  grown  up lady/wife /mother ! Of  course  my daughter !
She  had  dumped  her two-in-one for  a sleek  I-Pod  !  She  brought it  to  me  , it  was  in  so  many  pieces  , and  handed  over  to  me 

" Papa , just  see  what  you can do  with  it  ! "  

"Oh  so  kind  of  you   , beti  ! " I  took the  pieces  from   her !  Thinking  what  can I do  with  them .   But  some how  if  handled  with care  , it was  workable  !

But  the  problem of  connecting  this  two-in-one with  my  old  flame  , for a better quality sound    still remained . The  five  pin connector still alluded  me . 

In Nagpur  there  is a grey  market  of  electronic  goods , you  get  every  damn  thing there  , old , new ,futuristic anything and  everything ! 

I  ventured  there , with  all the hope  and  expectations to be able to  fondle  and touch  my  old flame  in the  new  year  !

What  a  harrowing  experience  I  had  ! With  mere  mention of  the  five  pin  connector  , the  shop  owners  used to  look at  me  as if  I had  just  dropped  from some obscure  planet  !

Ultimately  after   visiting  most  of  the shops  there I  could  get  one  and  that  too an old one  .

But  my  old  flame   did  take  the  revenge  of  she   being  dumped to  the  loft ! My problem didn't end  by  the  discovery  of  the  five  pin , the  problem to  connect  the  pin with  a  cable was  even  greater !

The  grey  market  didn't  have  the  obsolete
technology ! I never  thought  that  to  solder  the  pin with  the  cable  too required  so  much  expertise !

But  I  was  bent  upon  to  please  my  old  flame  , to revive  her  , to  give  her a new  lease  of life ! 

God  is  great  and  greater are HIS  miracles . A  very small  elctronic  goods  shop , not  in the  grey  market  , but  near  my  area  did  the  miracle  ! How  I happened  to reach there is  another  great  story  !!Yeh  kahani phir kabhi  !!

I  connected  the in - two - pieces  two-in-one  with  the  old flame  and  there  she  was  so  pleased  with  me  ! 


Now  I  play  the  FM  band  radio  , the  record  and the tapes  through my  old  flame  , and  have  given her  the  pride  of  place , in my  bed  room  !!   

NEW  IN  1982  RE-NEWED IN 2010  !!!

Khayalon ki Duniya
Sapnon ki Duniya
Yeh bhi hai diwanon
Neerali ek Duniya !

Rote hain hum
Hanste hain hum
Milte hain hum
Bichadte hain hum ,
Neerasha ke andhere mein
Roshni ki kiran hai yeh Duniya !

Khayalon ki Duniya
Sapnon ki Duniya
Yeh bhi hai diwanon
Neerali ek Duniya !


Tum to kho gayin
Goom gayin ek veeranein mein
Dhoondhta hoon tujhe har pal
Thandi hawaon ke jhonke mein
Sagar ke jhoomte lehron mein
Paataa hoon tumhein sirf khayalon mein !

Khayalon ki Duniya
Sapnon ki Duniya
Yeh bhi hai diwanon
Neerali ek Duniya !


Bas khayal hi to hain apne
Hain saath hamesha
Dete hain jeene ka sambal
Aur atoot ek abhilasha !
Inhein na chheeno mujhse
Mar jaoonga main
Mit jaoonga main !

Khayalon ki Duniya
Sapnon ki Duniya
Yeh bhi hai diwanon
Neerali ek Duniya !!
