Maharani Gayatri Devi

Maharani Gaytri Devi the ‘Most beautiful Woman’ once described as ”a dream in sari and jewels” left for heavenly abode on 29th. Leaving behind some many memories.

Gaytri Ji was not only the ’epitome’ of beauty but also a daring personality. Thrice a MP she dared Jawahar Lal too in Lok Sabha.

As a true lover and appreciator of beauty in what ever form and of kind; I lament the loss.

But then, all good things come to an end.

@ 90 she was still young to warm any ones heart.

Goodbye ‘Queen of Beauty’. For sure, Gods too would be pleased to see her back; for full 90 years Gods too would have missed the ‘enchanting beauty’ she is.

May her soul rest in peace, Amen!

Zara Hat Ke: Some Glamour ka ‘Tadaka’.

Well if you are not bored of all this politicking, I am. At least I want to take a breath. Enough of politics these days, so I think we all need a deserving break. 

But then we are amidst a very important election too and really can not afford to stay away from keeping a close watch on what all is happening around us.  So I recommend a little break and what better way to have some ‘Glamour Quotient’ added to the hurly burly of Politics!  

After all, these days ‘Glamour and Politics’ are wedded Na.  Thanks to our  Amar Singh ‘Ji’ ( he too deserves some credit boss) for adding some spice in otherwise  ’bland politics’. Give even a Devil his due where he deserves.  So why do we deny our selves some pleasure? 

Here I present one of my favorite ‘sensuous song’. 

Will be right back after this small break. Do not go away keep reading.

ENJOY…

Happy Birthday Dev Sahib: The Eternal Romantic.

“Mein Zindagi Ka Saath Nibhata Challa Gaya; Har Fikar Ko Dhooaen Mein Udata Chala Gaya”… 

May you keep on Celebrating life and keep inspiring ‘ardent’ fans like your truly for ever forever forever forever…………… 

Happy Birthday Dev Sahib: The Eternal Romantic.

 

Dev Anand: The Eternal Romantic.

 

 

Here is one song, I know you too like this most… and it inspires me to move on and live life to its fullest, as if it is the last day for me to live on Earth. I know Dr.Ramdoss (Health Minister) will not approve it (the song I mean) or might even ‘reprimand’ me. But who cares?

“Barbadiyoon Ka Shok Manana Fizaool Tha;

Barbidyion Ka Jashan Manata Challa Gaya.”

 

Happy Birthday once again Dev Sahib.

Na Jhatko Zulfse Paani,Yeh Moti Toot Jayenge

Wow! Jane kahan gaye wo din?

When romance was subtle, charming and pleasant.

Here is one Directly Dil se.Last time when I heard ‘Himesh Reshamia’ sang (?)  yelling at top of his voice,

aashiq banaya,aashiq banaya…

I vowed never to listen him again,and god forbid if ever I do listen to him -even accidentally.

Please,

Mulahija farmayian…

Ek geet, jo sirf geet he nahin hai…

Pasand aye to dad zaroor digeyga.

Yakin hai pasand aayega.

In the Company of Women.

Let me confess honestly, I like women, enjoy their company and at times do some flirting too. I had always been lucky to find my self in the company of women, albeit unlike Khushwant Singh.
Most of my ‘readers’ would be shocked-as they judge me by my views, often known as on the right side of political divide-but all just what I have said is equally true too.
As far as my views are concerned, they have their meanings, context and conviction.But; will I be denied the right to be a simple ‘human being’ just because I happen to hold these views? I leave that for you. To comment upon or frown in disgust, all are welcome.
I had been traveling for past 20 days or so first with wife and kids and then for a week on my own. While driving all the way, here and there, I happened to revisit my past, and then I rediscovered self.
I have ‘rediscovered’ how important is the word called ‘love’. Just how important are ‘women’ in our life?
In those good old days I had fallen for so many beautiful girls and none would respond, last time I fell “Heads and Heals” for,is my wife, NOW!”
Besides her My MOM (Who is no more), my elder Sister, Wife and Two Daughters are the women in my life and I am thankfull that they are.
In case you are interested, shall tell you about my first ‘love’ and how it culminated.BTW I met HER again this time.

abhii to maiN jawaaN hooN

Day before yesterday when I returned home from a long tour,felt relaxed.I had spent close to 25 days away from family and friends-physically.Being ‘physically’ among them has its own meaning.Those who travel a lot understand this.

February and March are two ‘cruel’ months,for the simple reason that these two months are reflection of what you did in a year.For a student:it means exams and results,for a salaried women/men: it means tax saving ,for a business women/men it means :Balance sheet,for a country: it means Budget and for any one in my profession means :renewal of contracts and adding new one.

Anyway,hopefully every thing has gone right,so I suppose.

So, I felt more relaxed. Upon insistence of my younger daughter I opened the case holding some very old records (both LP and EP),we managed to start our “BHOMPU” record player.

The one EP which took me back to my Grandfather’s (Nana) days (at least 50 years?) is for you to judge. He used to love this song… abhii to maiN jawaaN hooN

sung by Malika Pukhraj

hawaa bhii kHushagawaar hai, guloN peH bhii nikhaar hai
tarannumeiN hazaar hai, bahaar purbahaar hai

 

kahaaN chalaa hai saaqiyaa, idhar to lauT idhar to aa
arey, yeh dekhtaa hai kyaa? uThaa subuu, subuu uThaa

 

sbuu uThaa, piyaalaa bhar, piyaalaa bhar ke de idhar
chaman ki simt kar nazar, samaaN to dekh bekHabar

 

woH kaali kaali badliyaaN , ufaq peH ho gayi ayaaN
woH ik hajum-e-maikashaaN, hai su-e-maikadaaH ravaaN

 

yeH kyaa gumaaN hai badgumaaN, samajh naH mujh ko naatavaaN
kHayaal-e-zuhad abhi kahaaN? abhi to maiN jawaan hooN

 

ibaadatoN kaa zikr hai, nijaat ki bhi fikr hai

 

junoon hai sawaab ka, kHayaal hai azaab kaa

magar suno to shekH ji, ajeeb shai haiN aap bhi

 

bhalaa shabaab-o-aashiqui!, alag huay bhi haiN kabhi?

 

 

Hasiin jalwaaH raiz hoN,

adaaeiN fitanaaH kHaiz hoN
havaaeiN itr baiz hoN, to shauq kyuN naH taiz hoN?nigaah haai fitanaaH gar, koi idhar koi udhar
ubhaarate hooN aish par, to kyaa karey koi bashar?

chalo ji qissaaH mukHtasar, tumhaaraa nuqtaa-e-nazar
durust hai to ho magar, abhi to maiN jawaaN hooN

yeH gasht kohsaar ki, yeH sair ju-e-waar ki
yeH bulbuloN keH chahchahey, yeH gulrukHoN keH qah-qahey

kissi sey mail ho gayaa, to raNj-o-fikr kho gayaa
kabhi jo waqt so gayaa, yeH haNs gayaa woH ro gayaa

yeH ishq kii kahaaniyaaN, yeH ras bhari jawaaniyaaN
udhar sey meharbaaniyaaN, idhar sey lantaraaniyaaN

yeH aasmaan yeH zamiiN, nazzaraahaa-e-dilanashii.n
unHey hayaat aafareeN, bhalaa maiN chhoRh dooN yahiN

hai maut is qadar qariN, mujhey naH aayegaa yaqiN
nahiN nahiN, abhi nahiN, nahiN-nahiN abhi nahiN

naH gHam kashood-o-bast ka, balaNd ka naH past ka
naH bood ka naH hast ka, naH vaadaa-e-alast ka

ummid aur yaas gum, havaas gum qayaas gum
nazar sey aas-paas gum, hamaa, bajuz gilaas gum

naH mai meiN kuchh kami rahey, qadaaH sey hamdami rahey
nashist yeH jami rahey, yahi hama hami rahey

woH raag chheRh mutribaa, tarab-fizaa, alam-rubaa
asar sadaa-e-saaz ka, jigar meiN aag de lagaa

har ik lab pe ho sadaa, na haath rok saaqiyaa
pilaaye jaa pilaaye jaa, abhi to maiN jawaan hooN

My Humble Tribute to,

M.Pukhraj,Nana and Dad.
