'GOD'...Tussi Bhi...?


."Whenever you are in crisis ...'don't Panic just 'call him'..he will 'bail' you out from the situation."
His grand mother always said this to him.He always believed his grand mother...because.. she was everything to him. .

He was now 20 and very handsome.... had come all the way from Delhi to this city of dreams to become a hero.He was crossing an adjacent street somewhere near to Mumbai stock exchange..when he heard the earth shaking blast and was witness to all chaos and screams that followed....he was on his feet the entire night running the the victims to the hospitals and; pulling the dead from the debris......He was so focused in his Samaritan work....he just forgot to 'call him'.
It was 12/3...1993.

He was 32 now and just married. He & his wife where busy eating the 'Gol Guppas' at a corner shop in 'Sarojini Nagar'..suddenly the entire area rocked with screams of people and street turned bloody...he and ; his wife had a 'providential escape' they didn't run away from the scene...undeterred they spent the entire night pulling the victims from the debris and putting them into the ambulance.They were so lost in their duty and  he again forgot to 'call him'.
It was 29/10...2005.

He just turned 35 and now he was a father of a baby boy.He was shopping with his family at the 'Gaffar market'...when it happened....he was just aware of someone putting him in the stretcher .He now suddenly realized he was in a crisis and he remembered what his grandmother had told him
"Putur whenever you are in a crisis...'don't panic just 'call him'.. he will 'bail' you out from the situation".
he was thrilled ...he said to himself... 'Grand-Ma Tussi Great Ho' and  then he called 'HIM' ...that's when far away somewhere he heard a feeble voice that said
"He is gone".....
nd son's little baby....the only survivor of the family ...
It was 13/9...2008

In conversation with Bapu....

With 'Sare Jahan Se Achcha' and 'Abide with Me'the Soul-stirring martial tunes and solemn drum beats at the majestic Raisina Hills the "Beating the Retreat" ceremony marked the conclusion of the week long ceremonial functions of India celebrating her 62nd year of Republic.As the illumination lit up the edifices of Imperial India..my thought reached out to that day into the history of independence that finally dropped the curtain on a life called "Gandhi"...the man whose experiment with truth may not have jelled with today but his name has truly become the brand that remain most misused & manipulated both in trade & politics.As I key-in these lines I can read out the conversation that would have transpired between the "soul of Nation" (SON) and "Mahatma Gandhi"(Bapu)....Read on what I read..... SON: Bapu it's me,are you sleeping....? BAPU: How can you ask that...don't you know this day in the year 1948..I was gu...

But 'PAPU' Can "Vote"...'Sala'..!

"Sala".. is a generally accepted slang for both 'hum' the "Hindustani" and 'tum' the "Indian". Together this "HUM TUM" make the "Aam Admi"of the world's largest 'democracy'. This is our "INDIA".I agree with the TV ad that almost says "My India Strongest" in spite of the "Everest" of issues that surround her. Normally in this country the fate of the 'ordinary' people ie 'Aam Admi' always remain woefully harassed, pushed and frustrated through the year. However at the close every 5 years this 'Aam Admi' suddenly become extraordinarily powerful and remain wooed by all 'big,small and sundry' political parties of the country. Yes it is time for General Election. In the coming months for the 15th Lok Sabha, 714 million eligible voters would be 'bee lining' to the ballot boxes across 29 states,6 union territories to elect 543 members . 'Jaago-...

Just about...being a "Father"

A new world greeted them with smile and happiness when they... "Just met" and soon for them the wedding bells rang... Now, they are happily lost in their own world & together are learning to set- up a 'Home’ of their own... away from what was a home for them a little earlier in the year....That's "his" daughter & "his" son in-law. ..Being very adorable, the house has become little less chirpy after her moving out….. …."He" now does feel the boredom...but will never show it off... Because "he" is the father ...and expected to put on a stern face & always remain a 'matter of fact' person..... He is all set to explore & build-up a learning curve that may see him well in life in about a couple of years from now. After his graduation he may probably start living away from home in a distant land in pursuit of excellence...That's "His" son Being the darling of the house, "he" is...
