Chulbul and Rudra interactions, esp. the one where Chulbul is locked inside and he uses a magnet to make the robot bang its head on the door, to grab Rudra’s attention who is standing outside listening to songs on his ipod. (I’ve watched this scene 10 times and I still crack up like mad watching the robot pound its head on the door).🤣🤣🤣

The first scene of Thakurain Gauri (Shrenu’s best acting till date. Thakurain Gauri is a legend, who deserves an entire show just dedicated to her. She’s my god and queen and boss!) 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Gauri and Kali’s argument. “Teri yeh bedhiyaan hamaare paaon jakar sakti, hamaare mann ko nahi, tu humpe pehra pehra laga sakta hain, par hamari soch pe nahi, Gauri Kumari Ssarma ko tod sakta hain, par uske visvaas ko nahi” The summary of DBO in one dialogue. 🔥🔥

Shivaay finding out about Pinky’s truth and telling her that any goodness in him is because of his brothers, OmRu. 😭😭

The Obros funny scene and pillow fight 😂😂

Gauri questioning Omkara, if he would have forgiven her if she had done all that, he did + tearing off the dupatta at the temple, and telling Omkara to GTFO. (the point at which Rikara story should have ended, with their separation, because Om’s redemption is not possible).

MINED MUSIC - I Never Really Knew You (feat. Miss Geist & Dara Zusko) ©P...

Listen & Download: https://bfan.link/i-never-really-knew-you

Mined Music is back with a fantastic new studio effort: I Never Really Knew You (feat. Miss Geist & Dara Zusko).

Mined Music is an artist who recently released a fantastic new studio work titled I Never Really Knew You (feat. Miss Geist & Dara Zusko). Mined Music has always been able to create music that’s incredibly diverse in terms of production, and this release is no exception. The instrumental is on-point, with some amazing background parts and some ambient-driven soundscapes. The drum beat itself is direct, going for a mellow, yet assertive and energetic sound. The vocal per-formances by LA artist Miss Geist are special, adding a sheen of emotional honesty and appealing hooks to the mix. With lyrics such as “I guess I should have known, it’s too good to be true,” the song has a deep and powerful meaning. The lyrics are very personal, and the song could be interpreted as finally realizing that you were with so-meone for a long time, only to find out that you didn’t really know who they were!

Miss Geist and Dara Zusko are a great fit on this track, and they match the style of the production. The violin parts courtesy of Dara, are also quite special, perfectly blending in with the synthesizer tones and adding more to the amazing melodies of the composition. Every-thing is lush and dreamy, with a sound that reminds me of alternative hip-hop, lo-fi, and dream-hop, but with a darker indie-pop twist to ma-ke it all more intimate and organic.

One of the most amazing things about Mined Music’s music is the fact that his sound is extremely articulate and varied. The production is great, and all the elements are perfectly in sync, arranged in order to achieve maximum musical impact and provide the audience with an unforgettable listening experience. I Never Really Knew You is yet another amazing song from Mined Music, especially in the way the sound knows no boundaries in mixing ideas and sounds into some-thing that could be considered innovative and characterful. Not only is the release so original, but it’s also a window into Mined Music’s per-sonality, telling a story through music and giving the audience a rea-son why the should have this exciting upcoming talent on their radar. Mined Music’s music is going to be anyone’s cup, provided a love for authenticity, heart and energy in music! If these are the things you look for in an artist, you’ll find them here.

Find out more about Mined Music and do not miss out on I Never Really Knew You (feat. Miss Geist & Dara Zusko), which is now avai-lable on the best digital music streaming platforms.

Tribute to Shailendra by Jaikishan

Tribute to Shailendra after his demise by Jaikishen

That sad Wednesday afternoon, a little after he died, the radio sang :

“Aye mere dil kahin aur chal

gham ki duniya se dil bhar gaya

dhoondle ab koi ghar naya“.

It was Shailendra’s own lyric from `Daag’. He, too, had just told his weary heart : “I am full of the world’s sorrows. Let me seek a new home!”.

At the nursing home where he lay, we, his close friends, tried vainly to hold back our tears. Twenty years is a long time to know anyone, particularly in the film industry where “friendships” are made and broken easily, too easily.

Twenty years ago, we – a small group of people – had started from nothing. We had dreams, and nothing else, to sustain us. We had stood together, to the surprise and possibly dismay of many, and together we had worked out a common destiny. And today, without warning, death has laid an icy hand on one of us.

“Dhoond le ab koi ghar naya.”. He had done it.

For “Teesri Kasam” his own production, he had written :

“Sajan re jhoot mat bolo, khuda ke paas jana hai, na haathi hai na ghoda hai, vahaan paidal his jaana hai.”

True enough. We all have to go on foot. There will be no elephants to carry us, no horses, no Impalas. Poets have to go there when the call comes and ordinary men too.

But do the poets of the world, true creative artistes, really die?

Born and brought up a man of the people, Shailendra remained that all his life. His lyrics, like he himself, were simple, and had depth. And what a variety! He could dash off a frothy love lyric, he could compose a deeply philosophical poem. He wrote of sadness, gaiety, resignation, despair, hope.

“Ye poorab hai, poorab wale, har jaan ki keemat jaante hain“, he said, in the theme song of `Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai’. That was the pariot. “Awara hoon“, he sang, in a manner at once, light-hearted and serious. The song became world famous. And it was the same patriot who laughingly wrote “Mera joota hai Japani” in `Shri 420′.

When Shailendra joined our fold – at the time of Raj Kapoor was making “Barsaat” – it was with two lyrics he had ready – “Barsaat mein humse mile tum” and “Patli kamar hai“. He said goodbye to the R.K. Banner, again with two lyrics, for “Mera Naam Joker”. In between, from his work done not only for us – Shanker and myself – but for other composers, I can name scores of lovely lyrics, songs which have been on everyone’s lips.

By the way, Shailendra has written lyrics for all films for which my partner Shanker and I have composed the music with the exception of `College Girl’ and `Aarzoo’. In the latter film, he didn’t work with us because he was ill.

Shanker and I met Shailendra for the first time twenty years ago. Raj Kapoor introduced us at his office which was then at Famous Studios, Mahalaxmi. Shailendra had a job in the railway workshop at Parel. He wrote poetry in his spare time. One of his poems – “Jalta hai Punjab” – moved Raj Kapoor so much he wanted to put it in `Aag’. But Shailendra was then not keen on contributing lyrics to films. He later changed his mind and joined us for `Barsaat’.

The last time I ever saw him in good health was at Rajkamal studios about a month ago where I was doing some back-ground music recording. And you know what he was saying? Despite all the difficulties he had experienced in producing `Teesri Kasam’ he wanted to launch another film!

In the early days, Shailendra was living in a one room tenement at Parel. After `Barsaat’, my partner had been offered our first contract outside R.K. ( the film was Mr. Dalsukh Pancholi’s `Nagina’) and wanting to persuade Shailendra to write the lyrics, I visited him for the first time at his home. Like us, he was quite needy then, but his work caught on quickly and he became much sought after. His address had a few changes – from somewhere, Parel, to `Rim Jhim’, his own home at Khar, but all along the man himself never changed.

He was intelligent, very gentle, full of knowledge and very sensitive. His love of poetry and literature was paramount. Tagore was an early favourite as also Khalil Gibran. He was always nice company, whether you were discussing poetry or politics. He was very emotional and wept when something moved him. When he was composing a lyric, he would walk restlessly about the room. He loved writing on the beach. From the early days, he smoked incessantly – I wish he had been more careful.

He was young – only 43. Why did he have to go that early and with so much mental suffering?

In the music room of Shanker-Jaikishan at our homes where he was so welcome, there will be a void. There will be a bigger void in our hearts.

“Dhoond le ab koi ghar naya…”.

Goodbye, my friend.

`FILMFARE’ – JANUARY 20, 1967

Super 30- Movie

You may call them Super 30, you may call them Shining 30, you may call them Splendid 30…all superlatives fit the group of 30 students picked up from humble economic backgrounds, most of whom are cracking the highly coveted and extremely competitive IIT-JEE entrance examination every year, courtesy the educational program with the name ‘Super 30’ in Patna, Bihar. At the same time, all adjectives fall short to praise their mentor who has been doing this miracle year after year.

The movie Super 30 is a fictionalised biopic on Anand Kumar, a mathematics teacher and co-founder of Super 30. Anand Kumar and Abhayanand (an IPS officer and educationalist) conceptualised Super 30 to teach underprivileged students to crack IIT-JEE. The program was started in 2002-03 and has been continuing since then, though Abhayanand quit in 2008. This program takes 30 intelligent students from economically underprivileged sections annually, tutors them, and provides study materials and lodging for a year without charging any fee. Since its formation, there have been four occasions when all the 30 students of Super 30 cracked the JEE (Advanced).

The movie recounts the extraordinary journey of a man who fights (and conquers) all odds- financial worries, jibes, threats of all kind including on life from education mafia- to illuminate the lives of several talented boys and girls who might otherwise have found it next to impossible to compete with their well off counterparts.

Anand Kumar, who himself was an extremely talented student, had secured admission to the prestigious Cambridge University but could not join because of his father’s death and financial constraints. At one point of time, their financial condition had worsened to a stage where he had to sell papads to be able to run the family. This share of personal disappointments and difficulties in the life of Anand Kumar must have had a bearing on the formation of Super 30.

The experiment of Super 30 is a revolution of its own kind and a tight slap on the face of those who have reduced education to a money minting business, where the best of it is available only to those who can pay for it in equal measure. Thus, Kumar proved this feudal mindset wrong that राजा का बेटा ही राजा बनेगा with the emphatic declaration that राजा वही बनेगा जो हक़दार होगा.

Hrithik Roshan in the lead role of Anand Kumar does a superb job and proves his calibre once again. Though his Bihari accent does not sound as natural as it should, he compensates for it with his appearance, mannerisms and of course great acting. In fact, his looks had to be deglamorized in order to suit the role. The other prominent actors in the movie- Pankaj Tripathi and Aditya Srivastava are equally good, as is the lead actress Mrunal Thakur. The 30 actors/actresses chosen for portraying the first batch of Super 30 students are very realistic in their acting and appearances. One pleasant casting is that of Sadhna Singh of the ‘Nadiya Ke Paar’ fame in the role of Anand Kumar’s mother.

The songs in the movie are average and may not remain in memory for long. The first half of the movie is much stronger than the second half. The script of the second half is a bit more dramatised than required with all of that typical Bollywood stuff. This could have been avoided so that the movie remains as close to the reality as possible to retain its flavour as a biopic. Nevertheless, there are several emotional moments in the movie which leave you teary-eyed.

While watching the movie a thought crossed my mind that the highest award that we confer on the games & sports coaches in India is the Dronacharya Award, which is named after the guru who had asked Ekalavya for his right thumb as his dakshina (and got it too) despite the fact that he had refused to accept him as his disciple for archery due to his lineage. He did this so that Arjuna, his favourite disciple belonging to the royal family, becomes the greatest archer in the world. It is time we do some course correction and honour the real gurus like Anand Kumar who embrace Ekalavyas and turn them into warrior princes. The good thing is that it has already started as Super 30 is fast gaining recognition, nationally as well as internationally, and winning several global awards. The making of a movie on it is another proof of this.

I will give this movie a rating of 3.5 star, with a bonus of 0.5 star for the topic.

I will wrap up with the following dialogue by Hrithik Roshan before the students which sums up the intent of the movie:

ये अमीर लोग अपने लिए ख़ूब चिकना सड़क बनाए… हमारी राह में ऐसा बड़ा-बड़ा गड्ढा खोद दिए …लेकिन यही वो सबसे बड़ी ग़लती कर दिए… हमको छलाँग लगाना सिखा दिए… जब समय आएगा सबसे बड़ा और सबसे लम्बा छलाँग हम ही मारेंगे ।।

- Amresh Kumar Mishra

Son Doong, Vietnam: World’s biggest cave is even bigger than we thought

(CNN) — Thanks to discoveries made during a recent expedition in Vietnam, it appears the world’s largest cave, Son Doong, is even bigger than previously thought.

Last month, a trio of British divers — the same divers who aided in the rescue of the trapped soccer team in Thailand in 2018 — ventured to Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, in the jungle-filled Quang Binh Province of central Vietnam, to explore the cave’s waterways.

During the groundbreaking dive, they discovered a new underwater tunnel that connects Son Doong (meaning “Mountain River Cave”) with another enormous cave called Hang Thung.

Son Doong currently measures a total of 38.5 million cubic meters (about 1.35 billion cubic feet). When it’s officially connected with Thung Cave, it will add an additional 1.6 million cubic meters in volume.

“It would be like someone found a lump on top of Mount Everest, making it another 1,000 meters higher,” says Howard Limbert, technical advisor of the Quang Binh-based Oxalis adventure tour company and one of the cave experts who helped organize the dive. He tells CNN Travel, “Any cave in the world will be able to fit comfortably inside Song Dong when it’s connected — it’s just outrageous in size.”

Diving in Son Doong

British divers Jason Mallinson, Rick Stanton and Chris Jewell — who helped rescue the trapped soccer team in Thailand in 2018 — recently dived in Vietnam’s Son Doon Cave.

courtesy Oxalis Adventure

Oxalis, which is the only company licensed to bring travelers into Son Doong Cave, invited the British divers — Jason Mallinson, Rick Stanton and Chris Jewell — to visit the cave following the Thai rescue expedition.

“The divers did an amazing job rescuing the children in Thailand. We invited them on a trip to Son Doong to thank them for their great effort,” says Limbert.

“They wanted to do something interesting during the trip, so we came up with this idea of diving Son Doong, which had never been done before.”

Limbert says that the Oxalis team already knew that the water from Son Doong joined Thung Cave, through dye-testing, but no human has ever gone into these subterranean rivers.

During the mission, divers were able to reach a depth of about 78 meters while diving on air (oxygen and nitrogen) before turning around.

“When the divers reached 78 meters, they plumbed the depth below using a line and a lead weight. Hence, they believe the offshoot reaches a depth of 120 meters and continues for about 1 kilometer,” explains Limbert.

The team wasn’t expecting the tunnels to be so deep, because the other caves in the area are quite shallow.

“Now that we know how deep it is, we’ll bring the special gases [oxygen-helium mixture] with us next time to enable long, deep dives,” adds Limbert.

The divers plan to return in April again next year. This is the best time of year to dive, because water levels are relatively low, and visibility is better than usual — though still only about one to two meters.

“I think it’s incredible that something as important as the world’s largest cave is still being explored and better understood,” says Limbert.

“No one had ever set foot inside Son Doong until 2009 … and this latest discovery shows there are still an awful lot of things to uncover on this planet. It’s really exciting.”

Uncovering the cave

One of the world’s most precious natural wonders, Son Doong was inadvertently discovered by Vietnam resident Ho Khanh in 1990.

“While hunting in the jungle, Khanh came across the opening. He felt a blast of wind and heard the rush of a river inside… But after he left, he couldn’t find it again, because it’s surrounded by foliage,” says Limbert, who was part of the British Cave Research Association (BCRA) team that first set foot inside Son Doong.

“Khanh spent many, many years trying to rediscover the mouth of this cave and, finally, in 2009, he led us there. We realized right away that it was major.”

After the BCRA explored and measured the cave, they proclaimed it the largest in the world in 2010 — so big that you could fit a New York City block with 40-story skyscrapers inside it, according to Oxalis’s estimations.

Within the immense limestone cavern, there are various microclimates and diverse scenery including two jungles, made possible by dolines — openings created by collapsed ceilings — where sunlight streams in.

“So far we’ve only explored about 30% of Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, so there’s a lot more to be discovered,” says Limbert.

See it for yourself

Hang Son Doong in Vietnam is the largest known cave in the world. Photographer Ryan Deboodt took a drone inside to capture this spectacular footage.

Opened to tourists in 2013, the three-million-year-old river cave is easily one of the most beautiful places on Earth.

“People love it because they’ve never done anything like it before,” says Limbert. “Obviously, you have amazing stalactites and the world’s largest stalagmites (up to 80 meters high). They are so spectacular.”

To explore, travelers must book a guided excursion through Oxalis.

From river crossings to jungle treks and a harnessed ascent up the 80-meter-high “Great Wall of Vietnam” to nightly campsites, the four-day experience traverses 25 kilometers (about 15.5 miles) of jungle trails and nine kilometers inside the caves.

“This is definitely not just a stroll. There are lots of river crossings, superb jungles, mountains and cliffs all around, plus lots of wildlife … like birds and monkeys that are endemic to this area,” says Limbert. “A lot of people find the scenery as spectacular as the cave itself.”

It’s certainly physically challenging, but Limbert says the trek is accessible to anyone who is reasonably fit and doesn’t mind getting muddy. And you will get muddy.

Into the wild

During the mission, divers were able to reach a depth of about 78 meters while diving on air (oxygen and nitrogen).

courtesy Oxalis Adventure

The first 1.5 days are spent trekking through Hang En Cave — the third-largest cave in the world — to reach ultra-remote Son Doong. The next few days are spent exploring the otherworldly landscapes of this remarkable cave, sleeping at a different campsite each night.

Among the many highlights of the trip, Limbert says there’s one experience in particular that everyone goes “wild about.”

“There’s a passage that has beautiful, 400-million-year-old fossils. We take travelers to see these fossils and, once you’re down there in the dark, there’s a place where you can go swimming,” says Limbert.

“Everyone loves the experience of swimming in the dark in the cave — it’s a really unusual experience.”

Available from January to August, the US$2,990 tours are limited to just 10 people at a time, with a maximum of 1,000 travelers each year. Accompanying each group is a 27-person strong support team, including porters, cooks, safety assistance, BCRA-trained guides and caving experts.

“At this point, more people have climbed Mount Everest than have gone into Son Doong,” says Limbert. “And even those who have summited Everest say that exploring Son Doong is outrageous — that it’s the best place they’ve ever been in their life.”

the universe loved fucking with Mahi;

Mahi’s tragedy told through series of scenes. Mahi x Gauri.

“Mahi bhai! Ye hai wo meri sister jiske bare mein aapko bataya tha..”

Dandi, with his never faltering smile, stood in front of him one bright afternoon with a girl standing behind him. The first thing he noticed about her was that she had ridiculously long hair which would prove such a hassle to deal with in the scorching Mumbai heat. The other thing he noticed was the way her face shone in wonder as she looked around at the rather pitiable conditions of Good Luck Chawl.

Yeah, definitely an outsider.

“Wo sab toh theek hai per paise time pe degi ya nahin?”

There was a lot riding on this tiny con he was running. And if this “sister” of Dandi turned out to be yet another freeloader, he would surely lost his already paper thin temper and end up hitting a girl. She did look like one smack would be enough to knock her out.

“Ae! Bola than na ke do teen din mein paise de denge!”

The reply came from the girl. All the innocent wonder from her face vanished as she frowned and eyed him bitterly.

“Toh kya tera kaha pathar ki lakeer hai jo tune bola aur maine maan liya?”

“Oye! Pathar ki lakeer se bhi badh kar hai! Commitment ki hai! Aur ek baar jo hum ne commitment kardi toh phir hum apne aap ki bhi nahin sunte!”

He felt his eyebrows rise up as she shrugged and mumbled something to herself and resumed her previous activity of looking around the chawl with curious wonder. Dandi stepped closer and blocked the Salman Khan quoting girl from his view and assured him that all would be well as the payment will be done as soon as she got some money so could he please just show the girl where she’d be staying? Mahi just nodded without listening to anything as he thought for the first time maybe planning to make profit off this strange girl was a mistake.

ii.

The girl, Gauri, was an annoyingly friendly creature. It was imperative for his plan to work that this girl didn’t mingle with the chawl people. But it seemed like the girl couldn’t digest food if she didn’t hang out with at least 10 different people at each meal time.

Mahi saw people fall for her charms everywhere she went. He saw her play with the loud kids as well as give company to the demented elderly with equal ease and graciousness. It lowkey baffled him how the people who never missed a chance to taunt him for his “unacceptable” origins were always so sweet to this girl who literally had nothing but a tiny bag with three sets of clothes in the name of possessions.

Though if he was being honest, the real reason why her happy presence in the chawl pricked her was because she never extended her courtesy to him. After paying him for the rent of the room within a week of her shifting there, she didn’t pay any attention to him. It shouldn’t matter to him, really. He got successful in his plan and made money by doing virtually nothing except renting one locked down room of the chawl at thrice the price it was worth to a desperate girl who needed a safe place to say in this big bad city. As long as he kept getting his money, he really shouldn’t be bothered about how she went on living her life.

Except he did and it fucked him up every night before he went to sleep.

iii.

It was a surprise, but not a big one, but they bonded over Salman Khan.

More specifically, their first civil encounter was them dancing along to “Pandey Ji Maare Seeti” at the opposite ends of the chawl ground. Some hooligan had played the song loudly enough to burst eardrums and while the easily angered crowd cursed the boy and demanded that he shut the damn thing down as it was the middle of the day and it was no proper time to blast such annoying music, Mahi had just laughed and enthusiastically danced to it under the shade of the tree where he was standing. Within thirty seconds he noticed Gauri doing the same near the water pump, her steps even more enthusiastic.

When their eyes met, they laughed and continued the dance even when the music died down.

iv.

“Salman toh apna bhai hai!”

“Haye! Wo toh hamara pyaar hai!”

“Apun buss…EK baar Bhai ko touch karna chahte hain..”

“Humse toh wo KHUD milne ayenge, dekh lena!”

“Kyun? Wo tere Mame ka beta hai?”

“AE! Ek jhaap mein deewar pe satt jai be jo hamare Salman ke baare mein kuch aisa waise bola! Wo humse milne ayenge aur ye hamara vishwas hai!”

“O Madam, ye Mumbai hai. Yahan vishwas se kuch nahin milta!”

“Kyun? Hamare vishwas se humein iss ITNEEE bade, ajnabi sheher mein itna acha ghar mil gaya, khayal karne ko bhai mil gaya, baat karne ko dost mil gaya…aur tum kehte ho vishwas se kuch nahin milta?”

Mahi didn’t reply. Hearing the word “dost” for himself made his heart skip a beat and he had no idea why.

Mahi’s favorite food became the small portion of whatever Gauri cooked for herself that she saved for him.

vi.

One day he walked in Gauri’s room like house unannounced and found her standing in front of the old mirror, her hand in mid air next to her forehead. It wasn’t the sight of the red on her fingers which made him freeze, it was the completely lost expression of her face that first made his blood turn cold before raising within him an inferno that demanded he break the very reason for that expression into little pieces and throw them to the pits of the hell.

When she noticed his reflection behind hers in the mirror, she put her hand down and turned her face to look at him and smiled as a drop of water escaped her eye and rolled down her cheek.

“Kabhi kabhi sochte hain hum…hamara Shankar Ji ne bhi kaisi dulhan bana diya humein. Lagane ko sindoor toh hai per pehenne ko mangalsutra nahin.”

She chuckled and wiped the tears from her eyes though the lost expression remained there.

“Mahi..sab bhool gaye hain. Kahan kahan pathar laga tha, kahan kahan se khoon nikla tha, kitne zakham mile the..sab bhool gaye. Nahin bhoolte toh wo phere aur wo khoon jis se unhon mein meri maang bhari thi…”

It was the first time he had heard her voice quiver. He willed his frozen body to move and came to her. Holding her by the arms, he looked down at her face where those tears, those goddamn tears, still threatened to spill with an uncontrollable flow.

The sight was too much for his sanity to bear.

And that was the reason he gave himself as he put his arms around her and buried her face in his chest. All her sobs got absorbed in his hug.

vii.

She looked at him questioningly when he gave her half of the month’s rent back.

“Iss pinjre jaise kamre ka bhaadha itna nahin hai. Main bad hoon, very bad nahin. Ab mann nahin maanta ke tujhse ye dhoka karoon toh ye le, rakh le. Itni mehnat karti hai tu…ab kam kiya kar.”

His heart hammered in his chest as he said his little speech that he had stayed up all night practicing. He thought she would hit him and curse him and vow to never see his face again so he closed his eyes and braced himself for all of it.

“Tum ne ye Maa ko khush karne ke liye kiya tha na?”

None of the potential scenarios he had envisioned had her saying that. Quickly opening his eyes, he saw her smiling at her.

“Humein pehle din hi pata chal gaya tha ke tum humse double bhaadha lete ho. Issi liye toh tumse zyada baat nahin karte the. Lekin jab ye pata chala ke iss paise ki wajah se tumhari Maa ko khushi milti hai…toh tumse kuch nahin kiya. Maa ke liye kiya na…”

If there was any doubt that he had fallen for this girl, it got cleared in that second when she shook her head and turned to go do another one of her numerous odd jobs.

“Ruk!”

Holding her hand, he stopped her from going.

“Kaa hua?”

“Maine tereko dhoka diya..aur tune maaf kar diya?”

“Muft mein nahin kiya. Agle mahine se asli bhaadhaa denge. Aur tum mujhe apne kamaye hue paison se pani poori khilaoge. Iss qeemat pe maaf kiya hai!”

She twitched her nose and pulled her hand from his grip but he only held on tighter. The mirth vanished from her face as he stood there looking at her but didn’t say anything.

“Mahi…haath chorh.”

Without taking his eyes off her, he let go of her hand. His eyes didn’t stop following her till she walked away from there. Turning his eyes away from the spot where she had turned and disappeared to, he looked at his hand with which he had held hers and clenched it in a fist, wanting to keep that tingling sensation on it locked forever.

If that last expression on her face held any ounce of truth to it, he was sure she knew just what his feelings for her were.

viii.

Being an honest man was a tough thing to do but he was trying it just for her. The girl deserved honesty and he would give it to her. There wasn’t a lot he knew about her background but she had dropped enough hints for him to realize that all her life she had been victimized because of dishonest people. So, he made a promise to himself to become the best, honest version of himself and hand her all happiness that life had denied her.

She was no damsel in distress but he dreamed of being her knight in shining armor.

ix.

They never directly addressed their feelings for each other. On his side, he was darn sure that he was irrevocably in love with her. But he never told her that. He didn’t feel like it was necessary for him to say anything. It had been months since she walked in the chawl but he didn’t remember the years he had spent there when she hadn’t been there. And he didn’t want to know the years that were to come if she wasn’t in them beside him. The world was still unfair to him, his demons still lurked near him waiting for a chance to strike; but ever since she had come in his life, it had become tolerable to live. Breathing didn’t feel like a chore anymore, it was something he looked forward to.

Right now he was gathering the courage to wipe the hint of red color from her scalp and with it all of the memories of the past. He wanted to start his life afresh and he knew that she did too. He had begun to dream of a simple life with her, where they both worked and watched Salman Khan movies and talked for hours and hours before drifting off to sleep in each others’ arms. The very thought of holding her without any fear and restriction brought a smile to his face. After that one time when he had hugged her, he always controlled himself around her. He rarely touched her; always savoring the after sensations of the touch for days whenever he did touch her. Mahi had vowed to himself that the next time his skin would touch hers; it would be to remove the color which meant really meant nothing. Because he just knew that it was him who was meant to really put the proper sindoor in her scalp and tie a mangalsutra around her neck.

He just knew that it was something she was waiting for him to do.

He just knew that she was waiting for him.

He just knew it.

He just..

Fucking Oberois. Always fucking with his life. Those goddamn Oberois who ruined everything! First his identity and now his life?! Why was EVERYTHING that was rightfully HIS snatched away from him by the GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING OBEROIS?!??!

xi.

It happened unannounced. One second they were happily eating golas. He had just excused himself for one minute, that one godforsaken minute when his entire universe turned upside down.

He saw a big, expensive car screech to a halt near the cart. He saw the man step down from the car and walk to Gauri. He saw the way Gauri froze and unfroze when he held her hand. He saw the way the gola fell from her hand as the man brought his other hand to her face and wipe something away from her face.

Tears.

He was wiping tears.

He.

Omkara Singh Oberoi.

Unlike Mahi, he didn’t hold back his touches. He held her face with both his hands and kissed her forehead, holding her shaking body and murmuring something softly to her. He did it all without any hesitation. And just like that, he made her sit in the car and they rode off to the sunset in an expensive, black car like a fucking cliché.

And Mahi just stood there.

xii.

“Hum ne kaha tha naa…vishwas ho toh sab mil jaata hai.”

She texted him one night and he almost smashed the phone like everything else in his room but the ding of new message stopped him.

“Unhen paaya.. Tumhe khoyaa.. Poori zindagi guzar jaegi Iss saude ka naffa nuqsaan pata karne mein.”

xiii.

The universe loved fucking with Mahi.

Tributes to #ShakeelBadayuni, one of the greatest lyricists and poets of Hindi cinema, on his 47th death anniversary.

Geetkar-e-Azam' was born at Badayun in UP in 1916. Sensing his fascination for Sher-o-shayari at an early age, his father arranged for his training in Arabic, Persian, Urdu & Hindi. In times when most poets were writing about social issues, political turmoil and national consciousness, Shakeel was more love and romanticism. He wrote - "“ मै शकील दिल का हूं तर्जुमान, कह मोहबतों का हूं राजदान, मूझे फ़क्र है मेरी शायरी, मेरी झिंदगी से जुदा नहीं! ”

He moved to Bombay in 1944 and was given a break by Naushad with Dard in 1947. All the songs he wrote for 'Dard' were an instant hit; especially the song 'Afasan Likh Rahi Hun' sung by Uma Devi (Tun Tun). It was with Naushad that he came into his own giving masterpieces one after another.

He worked in over 25 films with Naushad, most of which were musical blockbusters. Mela, Dard, Dastan, Amar, Deedar, Dillagi, Uran Khatola, Leader, Dil Diya Dard Liya, Mughal e Azam, Kohinoor, Ram Aur Shyam, Aadmi. However the most important onewas their earliest combo; the artistic musical milestone like Baiju Bawra (1952) with its stunning combination of folk and ragdari in 'Tu Ganga Ki Mauj', 'O Duniya Ke Rakhwale', 'Man Tadpat Hari Darshan Ko Aaj', 'Mohe Bhool Gaye Saawariya' and the duet between two classical stalwarts, Pt. D.V. Paluskar and Ustad Amir Khan - 'Aaj Gaawat Man Mero''. Besides this they gave numerous timeless classics and chartbusters songs like 'Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya' (Mughal-E-Azam), 'Madhuban Mein Radhika Naache Re' (Kohinoor), 'Gaaye Jaa Geet Milan Ke' (Mela), 'O Door Ke Musafir' (Uran Khatola), 'Nain Lad Jaihe' (Ganga Jumna), 'Saawan Aaye Ya Na Aaye' (Dil Diya Dard Liya), 'Aaj Mere Man Mein Sakhi' (Aan), 'Mere Mehboob Tujhe' (Mere Mehboob) and 'Mere Pairon Mein Ghunghroo' from their last film together, 'Sungharsh' Besides Naushad he also created some masterpieces with other music directors and gave us films with Ravi like 'Gharana, Ghungat, Grahasti, Phool Aur Patthar, Do Badan and again that immortal song 'Chudhavika Chand Ho' His all time melodies with Hemant Kumar of 'Bees Saal Baad', 'Sahin Biwi Aur Ghulam' & 'Bin Badal Barsaat'? Or with S D Burman in 'Kaise Kahoon' & 'Benazir' or C.Ramachandra with 'Zindagi Aur Maut', 'Wahan Ke Log' or with Roshan in 'Bedaag',& 'Noorjahan There is so much that can be written about him, but words will not suffice. At last all we can say is

“ये झिंदगी के मेले, दुनिया में कम ना होंगे....अफसोस हम न होंगे"
