India wins series in style

Respected Brother

Sadar Charan Sparsh
Bade din kI Badi shubhkaamnayen.. you had given a good vivid account of Kolkata days that I had sought.. what if.. if it was not cricket.. it had Christamas around it and what could be more fitting than one could ask for..

You have been showing yjay all your energies are not cornered around acting skills alone.. you have reserved good amount for your excellent writing skills.. it gives me a great pleasure to read the long detailed accounts from you.. and you obliged with an extremely exciting piece on reaching Mumbai from Dubai..

I would have loved to praise the young man Virat Kohli yesterday.. better late than never.. here is a sensible young cricketer who has graduated well from his teens into sheens.. does that makes sense the phrase.. I would not know.. I wanted to say that he has most easily jumped into manhood from childhood.. his knock of whatever I saw reminded me of how cricket is to be played even in the shortest verson.. working out singles, converting bad deliveries into boundaries. and taking care that you are not carried away into thinking that you are Sehwag..

Well done Virat.. had been championing the cause for the inclusion of all-rounders and with your fielding skills and ability to bowl when needed does put you into that bracket.. it is a different story that nether Dhoni nor Sehwag has given it a thought that you know how to use your bowling arm.. that is all right.. he will be tested soon on that count too in front of his home crowd..

Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli were going neck to neck and the way they were playing it was only a matter of academic interest who scores his century first.. here it seems Gambhit helped him register his century before him.. the gesture to hand over his man of the match award to the young colleague who had essayed his first (maiden) hundred in international cricket was a very humanly move.. Hats off to you Gautam (Buddha) Gambhir.. you have certain calmness and confidence that every cricketer world wide would love to have.. you ake a perfect foil to Swashbbuckling Viru..

I had yesterday named two teams for India and would love that it does happen sooner than later..

Wishing all a Merry Christmas all over again..

Abhaya Sharma

PS Virender Sehwag I do not mind congratulating you on two consecutive victories.. they were important as the came against no mean team.. the Lankans have good talent and Dilshan has been tamed.. finally.. yet dropping or rather not finding place for Praveen Kumar is a question you will have to answer..

Merry Christmas to You

Respected Brother
Merry Christmas to you and every soul of the blog!

And to every member of this country who loves every religion being secular. I wish a very merry christmas to all.. Some of my foreign friends alone I would be addressing here.. Indian friends should not kill me for that..

Carla, Renate, Phyllis (PB), Zhenya, Lyudmila, Rose ( Sis can I wish!), Elena, Rochelle Goldman ( I know you ain't christian, you are still wished anyway especially for your disbelief..), Tatiana, Anat Magen ( I know again you are form Israel and would have loved to be wished aroy\und Hanukka! did I spell that right!), in fact I don't know If i could wish many more people in Valorie Adams ( I don't still know if you are Indian.. if you had told me I must have forgotten.. eh.. I am good at something atleast..) and Claudia Ciesla of BigBoss 3.. I did not get to know how and when you were voted out.. I thought you had a good chance to score above others.. it is all right..

Am I forgetting some others like I have always been.. not my fault blame it on my being 50.. I have a reason to forget 50 things in 50 seconds.. 50 of those can safely add their names to this list.. Joshua David for one and Dorothy Mdigan for another..

Merry Christmas to you

The cricket lover says to you

Come lets just play too!

Merry Christmas dear friends

Merry Christmas to you!

Oh I forgot the biggest fan of Jesus.. excuse me Christ for forgetting Gisele Gomez Barbosa of Rhode Islands.. I hope Patrick is doing fine their and is not too unhappy amongst angels and saints.. come Gislee Lets do celebrate.. celebrate Christams with you too.. and Christ why am I not writing to my best friend on earth.. Best Christmas Wishes Gisele.. I hope I could once again be able to write to you and say Merry Chritmas mon ami Gisele!

I think some of you would not know her.. i shall tell more about her when I am actually able to address her.. I have not been able to write to her with open heart after the death of her 20 year old son on 15th July this year.. I feel like crying but still can't try to say a few words to her.. someone could help me break the ice.. She is the biggest fan of Brother much much bigger than AZ could think of.. no, no, I am not trying to tease him.. I know he is a big enough fan.. it only shows how big a fan she could be..
Love you Gisele even If I am not able to send messages across.. Love you from the core of my heart.. Love you for being what you are.. Love you as much as one human being can love another.. and to say the truth I love you more than I love brother Amitabh ( Sorry brotehr! for telling the truth, Tis true but strange for strange is not always the truth..)

Everyone, who has not found a mention here must be an Indian.. and I know Indians do not mind too mcuh and forgive too easily.. Love you all friends and wish you all as well..
Bhaai tum to ho Dubai
Yahan Christmas ki badhaai
deta tumko chhota bhhai
nahi nahi mai kanhaai
Madhushala ki duhaai
mai to rahta mumbai
deta sabko badhaai

Hindi and English Poetry - AB day 611 (ii)

Dear Brother
Sadar Charan Sparsh

So there we are at last.. at the heights.. with some of these pictures I tend to equate your heights in performances over these 40 years that we have been knowing you..

I have lot of scribbling to be shared .. par pahle kuchh mitha ho jaaye.. arrey bhai Auro paas jo ho gaya hai.. Vaise Auro to 5th December ko hi pass ho gaya thaa... maine bhi uski copy jaanchi thee.. he had scored 10 out of 10.. much ahead of the rest of those who took the exam..

Lets break here and take a route to Hindi and surprisingly poetry.. no, no, not poetry but thoughts in poverty.. I can't think in English so I feel my poetry would sound like poverty.. Lets first have what may not be liked as much.. and more so for the fact that I won't have to leave this post and switch over to invoking Hindi font.. (Don’t you laugh Valorie! I am not Adams but an Eve's son.. so says allegory..)

I know no bounds
I live unbound
to discover and define
the life that we found!

The guy next door
is my friend for sure!

The one who has heart
The one blessed with a mind
The one who is soft
The one who acts kind
The one who laughs or
The one who cries
The one who gets angry
The one who loves trees
The one who is a man
The one who is always free
The one who is seldom busy
The one who lives for others
The one who dies for his brothers
The one who is divine
The one who never whines
The one who talks with me
The one who walks with me
The one who is made of flesh
The one who is all of bones

He is dear to me!!!


I know some people would be wondering what exactly is this non-sense that they can make no sense.. I had warned few days back that I can not write poetry in Englissh.. No, no, not that I can write poetry in Hindi but I can give it a try! wait and see what folllows next!!

Love you all those who liekd it and not liked it at all!!

Love You and Treat you Right!
Abhaya Sharma


सपने-अपने अपने सपने !

कहीं कोई दिल में
ये ख्वहिश दबी सी
है देती थी दस्तक
नही अजनबी सी

मुझे क्या पता था
क्या मुझको खबर थी
है दामन से लिपटी
नई ज़िंदगी थी !

तुम्हे क्या बताउं
मै क्या अब सुनाउं
ये दिल की लगी थी
नही दिल्लगी थी !

कैसे, कहां, कब
किसे मैं जताउं
कि ख्वबों में ही
एक दुनिया सजाउं !

भाई है दुनिया का
हर भाई मेरा
बहन भी लगे न
कभी भी पराई !

मेरे दिल से पूछे
कोई भी कभी भी
मेरी ज़िंदगी की है
ये सांसें सभी की !

न परमाणु बम हो
न कोई भी गम हो
हंस कर कटे
ज़िंदगानी हमारी !

मरने के सौ-सौ बहाने
मिलेंगे
जीने को हम आज फिर से
मिलेंगें !

नही नाम से कोई मतलब
हमारा
नही कोई शिकवा न गफलत
इशारा !

चलो आज हम फिर
फिकर छोड़ जी लें
जो खाई हो कसमें
उन्हे तोड़ जी लें !

मिल कर रहे थे
मिल कर रहेंगें
धरती को अपनी
मां धरती कहेगे !!!

अभय शर्मा
(मुझे उम्मीद है कुछ एक लोग इसे कविता कहने में संकोच नही करेंगें, पसंद करें या ना करें इसकी कोई गारंटी मैं नही ले सकता !!!)

AB day 611(i)

Oh Brother!

You were quite quick to address us back once you realised there did exist some technical glitch and your understanding of the jargon.. it bemuses when you say ... but the fact of the matter is that I know damn all about all this ..

coool brother pretty cool.. I know what you wanted to convey.. despite all your knowledge this idiotic machine fails to take requests from you or fails to abide by your sense of urgency.. hopefully the guy who comes to help would be able to put the pictures there as and when he comes to your rescue.. we can wait..

aur kya chal raha hai Dubai mei bhaai.. vahan kahan pahunch gaye phir se.. I think you were there very recently at DIFF if I am not wrong.. No, no, I am not questioning you.. maine to aise hi poochh liya dubai kya aap jahan jee chahe aao-jaao.. hum logon ki connectivity barkaraar hai to Dubai ya Hawaai se hamen kahaan inkaar hai..

I can only feel that you are enjoying life after the grerat success of Paa.. hope Abhishek too gets a good acknowledgement for his role as Amol Arte.. maine to use kaafi kam number diye thhey... yet he was at his best better than Guru and Bunty-Babli.. How is he doing.. mujhse naraaz to nahi hai na.. us din (28th November ko) jab achanak yeh dono mere saamane kahde thhey kuchh soojha hi nahi ki inase kya kahoon.. lagbhag hakka-bakka sa bas dekhata hi rah gaya thha.. chalo khair.. give him my love.. I hope his TV avtar would be as sensational as what you had in your first TV appearance.. All the best to him and to Aishwarya too.. did she give those copies of the two poems (28th November, agan) I had submitted to her.. Kavi Ka samman and pranay-prasingini.. nahi dee to koi baat nahi.. mujhe aaj bhi yah viswaas nahi ho raha hai ki I was there at Bachchan Sandhya..

Kal ki kya taiyaari hai.. I mean kal kise jita rahe ho.. yeh Sehwag ne Kumar ko kyon nahi khilaya.. I did not like it.. he has to be roped in tom. for sure.. vaise to agar Irfan bhi andat aa jaaye to kya buraai hai.. vaise Lanka ki team achchha khel rahi hai agar jayasuriya fit hai to uska khelana to tay baat hai.. he is still a force to reckon at 40 years of age.. bhaai.. Karthik ke behaviour se bhi main khush nahi hoon.. maana he has to reinforce his chances by playing good cricekt but having denied Sachin his 46th ODI hundred is criminal so to say..

Kal baat karate hain.. This Sanjith, here on the blog is also deeply interested in cricket.. I hope he gets to read this post.. and Tumpa Bon.. thinks that every time I am not writing here I must be busy with cricket.. arrey bhai.. aur bhi gham hain zamane mei cricket ke alava.. I have spent quite some time with Buddha Aur Naach Ghar.. Can I get a copy of some of the other poems.. scan karke upload kar sakate ho.. mujhe kyaa karun smvedana lekar tumhaari.. aur akelpan ka bal pahchaan.. chahiye thee.. dekh lo.. agar possible ho tabhi karana agar jhanjhat lage to koi baat nahi.. I will look for other avenues..

Lunch ke liye aayaa thaa.. aloo-matar ki sabzi aur parathe hai.. khaoo to bataao.. ek plate aapke liye bhi lagaa leta hoon.. aaj ghar par akela hi hoon.. kyaa aloo-methi chaahiye thhee.. bhai.. phir to aapko wait karana padega..

haan, ek naya kamara office mei kal hi mila hai.. bada hai.. kaafi spacious bhi hai.. abhi internet connectivity baaki hai.. isliye puraani jagah se hi kaam kar raha hoon.. theek hai phir milte hain.. Dubai se Mumbai kab aa rahe ho..
Love, affection, admiration and regards

A repsonse to AB's long post of day 599

Dear Brother

Sadar Pranaam

As I have just finished reading the entire post only now.. should I congratulate you over such a massive piece on entertainement and its future and values and its whole caricature.. I don;t know if that word could be used to describe the theses on the subject..

I would just say that entertainment in coming years may achieve many forms as edutainment besides infotainemt.. naraators and actors would always be required.. they would always be a constant component of the story of entertainment..

An every time we would discuss entertainment and some of its associated figures we would always be reminded of you that is some sort of immortality that comes to you.. how long it lasts can not be known.. Gurudev lives even today so does Vivekanand the latter may not have been entertainer in the real sense of the word but in its extended extension..

There would always be reasons to live in the past in every present.. the human tendency is governed by its remembering of its past and its evaluating its future.. what you have achieved may have appeared a bit dry to few.. to me as well when did not have as much time in the day.. it does hold significant value.. even if it is derived from other sources.. a compilation that is made available and accessible will always hold value and command significance.. what I found that what you discussed and debated had some very close connectivity to your personal self as well..

The cinema will always have its entertainment value even if it assumes other roles too.. recreation of an individual human being is always going to remain an important ingredient of the society for many more years.. that we learn from the past.. there were entertainers all around deep into the history and by the same analogy there would be entertainers all over in the future of mankind and humanity.. The recreation if it could also bask in some sort of social and moral suppositions in its fold should definitely be a welcome move..

I think I would read this post one more time to assimilate its essence for my own good use as well.. some of the findings that have been discussed and presented hold true not only for entertanment alone but for rest of professions as well..

I get a feeling that I did get to read something very essential to our existence and living.. good work.. I have to loo up the links as well.. as and when I get time..

Love, Respect and RegardsAbhaya Sharma

Post script: That you could speak like Auro without the mask on.. what a commendale feat sir.. and how could you enjoy the cricket like rest of us.. when you reacted the way you reacted.. you appeared as knoweldgeable of cricket as any one of us who feel to be prod of our association with the game.. yet I would say that you chose the right format to make an appearance.. do you also plan to own a team was not answered.. or I missed that.. I would not mind working for such a team in any capacity other than a player.. you would not want a 50 year old to be in the playing side.. there are many aspects of cricket that i feel deserve a good human angle like the one you described when asked about so many wides.. I a really very-very impressed and I do not try to impress upon you that you get impressed by my being impressed.. many cricket lovers would have loved your short stay at the extra-cover.. it was a good act..

Auro - My new Friend..

Respected Brother

Have a great time in Dubai.. at DIFF.. to be more accurate.. to receive recognition must have by now become a second way of life.. recognition of your efforts over the years.. recognition for creativity.. recognition for entertainer numero uno.. recoginition for being Amitabh Bachchan.. recognition by India.. recognition by France, England and now Dubai and several other countries.. recognition for Hindi Cinema world over.. recognition by your EF should be a matter not as important as some others.. yet I Abhaya Sharma.. member or could I use one of the senior EF.. not merely by age but also by presence here for a long duration want to say this..

Brother, little did we expect that one day we would be so close to you through this medium.. little did I (as a first person) realise that I would be fortunate enough to have spend three hours under the same roof at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan.. Little did we (Amrit and Savita join) thought that PAA would be such a great movie.. Little did we all (the EF) had ever beleived that we would be on a daily meeting exercise with you.. your time management skills must be a lesson to the management curriculum on the subject.. in a nutshell.. we are blessed to be with you on this short journey of life.. short but filled with joy and much that makes life worth living.. we learn from you each day.. we almost have created a second world for ourselves.. however virtual it may appear to naive it is real in every sense of the word..

I must add hurriedly that there could not have been a better utilization of the new medium in Internet by me other than being able to connect to you at will.. I know I felt let down by my own acts in not waiting a little longer at the green room and giving up on the lifetime opportunity to be able to see you from a hand shaking distance.. it was not to be.. it was not the time when I should have disturbed you .. knowing well how many bigwigs might not have got a chance to say simply hello to you that night or the other night at the premier of PAA.. no, no, I did not appear for PAA's premier.. I could not..

PAA everyone here on the EF must see atleast once and if possible in theater alone.. no, no, I am not advertising the film I am only offering a suggestion.. I am only here to remind you that one must not miss the opportunity to meet 13 year old Auro.. that one must not miss a great movie of modern times.. brother is a part of it or rather a central character is only a secondary fact... primarily it is a great movie..

More later
With Love to you Auro for being so lively despite the sudden ageing process that changed your physical configuration.. your presence was indeed a blessing.. a lesson in life to be more precise..
Love, Affection and Pyaar
Abhaya Sharma

kahan tak ye man ko ---

बातों बातों में -

कहाँ तक यह मन को
अंधेरे छलेंगे
उदासी भरे दिन कभी तो ढलेंगे
...
कभी सुख कभी दुःख
यही जिंदगी है
यह पतझड़ का मौसम
घड़ी दो घड़ी है
नए फूल कल फिर
डगर में खिलेंगे
उदासी भरे दिन कभी तो ढलेंगे
भला तेज कितना हवा का हो झोंका
मगर अपने मन में तू
रख यह भरोसा
जो बिछडे सफर में
तुझे फिर मिलेंगे
उदासी भरे दिन कभी तो ढलेंगे

कहे कोई कुछ भी
मगर सच यही है
लहर प्यार की जो
कहीं उठ रही है
उसे एक दिन तो किनारे मिलेंगे
उदासी भरे दिन कभी तो ढलेंगे
कहाँ तक ते मन को अंधेरे छलेंगे
उदासी भरे दिन कभी तो ढलेंगे

Amitabh Ziibbu - My Dear Friend

Respected Brother
Sadar Charan Sparsh
I am indeed here to reciprocate the love to some of the fine members of FmXTt who continue to feel for me despite I haveing decided to not to cross refer. I t sounds so very painful of me to be so harsh to some of these lovely characters here on the blog..

Yet in the hindsight I know that it was not such a wrong decision.. my apologies to all those who refer to me and I am not able to do so.. I would not dictate that they too should act like me. It is not in my interest to tell anyone what one is expected to do..

For once again I was aty loss f words to find someone infringing the Amitabh ziibbu- the greatest living fan of AB to be misused by someone in casting acerbic and atrocious remarks on someone very close to the blog and to me as well.. if the targetting man does have guts he should resurface with proper identity.. it indeed is sad way of naming individuals and referring them the way it has been done..

I am referring to day 555 and the comment is #601 or so I beleive.. amd it would be a very humble request to our dear friend AZ to issue his part of the say on the matter.. in either case..
Life as such is full of test and trials at every step ansd as eery day progresses and if it has to be burdened with additional troubles while showing or exhibiting our love and affection to the man we have loved all our life on this blog.. it surely does amount to an unfortunate event..

May I thus have a privilege for the first time to seek your intervention brother to seek from the server people to get to know the email id of the man who wrote these comments on day 555.. the one who has been indulging in such acts can not be stopped in the first place.. yet if at a later time it is discovered and referred should it not be removed at the first opportunity… Thus my request is to nab the culprit and get his this particualr post deleted..

Love and Affection

Abhaya Sharma

PS I know I did not share the match yesterday with you.. I was not knowing that India could loose a game where they were just required to make 251 runs.. and Australia has proved one point all over again.. that they are the best side.. that they were the best side.. and that they will remain the best side when it comes to discuss one day cricket..Of course the team that plaeyed better as a unit.. the team that applied itself to the tasks at hand did win the game.. at one satge it did appear that Aussies might simply go ahead to make 280 or thereabouts yet they could muster only 250 on the board.. yet the way they bowled and fielded except for the birthday boy Johnson it was something extraordinary when the final result was announced.. Australia drubbing Inda by 24 runs.. Good work by Bollinger and Watson.. and admirably supported by every member on the field..

------------ The response from Amitabh Ziibbu---------

DEAR ABHAYA JI..
I HAVE GIVEN THE REQUIRED REPLY ON BLOG # 560 FOR THE BLOG #555 AND COMMENT # 601 BY WHICH YOU HURT ME BADLY & YOU ARE REALLY SUCCESSFULL IN DOING SO...I'M ACTUALLY PAYING THE BIG PRICE OF BEING WORSHIPPER OF "PITAMAHA"... YOU SHOULD'VE FIRST ASKED ME THE SAME PERSONALLY THEN SHOULD WRITE SOMETHING CLEVERLY ON THE BLOG... I HAVE MORE THEN 200 SMSES , CALL RECORDINGS, MAILS, & MESSAGES ON YAHOO FOR THE PROOFS BUT I'M QUIET & SHALL BE FOREVER...YOU'VE DONE YOUR LEVEL BEST TO HURT ME DEEPLY & WITH ME , MY HEART TOO IS CRYING...AND NOW, I WILL TALK TO "PITAMAHA"BEFORE I FINISH MYSELF... MANY-MANY THANKS!
REGARDS & LAGE RAHIYE.. (TO HURT INNOCENTS)
AZ
--------------------My new response to him-------

Dear ATOZ
What is it that has felt you behave like this.. my first reaction to it was that I thought it was not probably you.. the way you told me after the posts concerning between us.. I only wanted to give you the benefit of dount.. I had thought it was not you..But what you wrote here and on the blog it does seem that it was indeed you.. If as you say you have reasons to behave the way you did I am not blaming you.. You sometimes behave too funnily.. why should you take everything said about you to your heart did I not say that you are the biggest living fan of Mr. Bachchan and even if I do not say that.. would it change your position even one inch.. You are indeed the biggest fan and you will remain so..

Let me reproduce my post to you here and explain elaborately.. Do definitely talk to brother.. do definitely clarify your stand and my misunderstandings.. but don't call names to others without exposing them and why should you expose Reeham.. what has been happening between two of you I am not aware.. yet brother just think we are Hindus.. we hae been taught to be tolerant of other religions.. We are Indians who consider the guest only next to Gods.. it was only in that respect and in that light that I had posted my comments.. Yo see I hardly take any names of the people on the blog.. reason is to avoid hurting those whose names get missed out..You have a special place in my heart and shall always continue to have the same place.. the biggest Amitabh fan..
It is all right if you forward this email to him.. it is all right if my posts are not accepted there.. I am after all nobody.. I am nobody compared to the kind of position you have with him (deservingly).. so relax and take life sportingly.. agar koi kuchh kabhi galat bhi kah raha hai.. aur baad mein apani galti maan leta hai to ismein harz hi kya hai.. har din tumhaari buraai karata firata hoon aisa to nahi hai naa.. aur braai tumhaari us din bhi nahi kari thee boss. Chalo ab thande dimaag se socho aur agar mujhe bhaai manate hi ho to hans ke dikhaao..
With lots of love
Abhaya Sharma
PS nahi mujhe kisi SMS calls ki parawaah nahi hai.. mujhe kuchh bataane ki zaroorat nahi hai.. mai yah manane ko taiyaar hoon ki tumne jo bhi kaha uska kuchh na kuchh to kaaran hoga.. par yah baat blog par likhane se achchha hota ki tum us vyakti ko hi likhate..agar tumhaare paas puraani facebook ke messages pade hai to shayad aakhiri post meri thhee jiska shayad tumne jawaab isliye nahi diya ho ki tum vyast rahe ho.. agli baar mumbai aaoge to mujhse mile binaa mat jaana. mera mobile number agar tumhe chahiye to main bhej doonga..

Sachin Dev Burman - Death Anniversary

Dear Brother and others
I remember the great music director of yesteryears.. the inimitable Sachin da.. a born music director ..
Sachin Dev Burman

b. October 1 1906

d. October 31 1975
Here is a song that I think all of you would love.. the song from film Guide..

वहां कौन है तेरा,

मुसाफिर, जाएगा कहाँ

दम लेले घडी भर,

ये छैयां, पायेगा कहाँ

वहां कौन है तेरा, मुसाफिर, जाएगा कहाँ

वहां कौन है तेरा…………………

बीत गए दिन, प्यार के पलछिन

सपना बनी वोह रातें

भूल गए वोह, तू भी भुला दे

प्यार की वोह मुलाकातें,

प्यार की वोह मुलाकातें

सब दूर अँधेरा, सब दूर अँधेरा,

मुसाफिर जाएगा कहाँ

कोई भी तेरी, राह ना देखेनाएँ बिछाए ना कोई

दर्द से तेरे, कोई ना तदपा

आँख किसी की ना रोई,

आँख किसी की ना रोई

कहे किसको तू मेरा, कहे किसको तू मेरा,

मुसाफिर जाएगा कहाँ
हो ओ ओ ओ, मुसाफिर, तू जाए गा कहाँ

कहते है ग्यानी, दुनिया है फानी

पानी पे लिखी लिखाई

है सबकी देखि, है सबकी जानी

हाथ किसीके ना आई

हाथ किसीके ना आई

कुछ तेरा ना मेरा, कुछ तेरा ना मेरा,

मुसाफिर जाएगा कहाँ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG5t1eErbsU

and today if I do not give the credit to Tumpa Bon for reminding me of the death anniversary of the maestro.. I would not be able to forgive myself.. dhonyabaad Tumpa Bon ( I breach the rule for you.. ) thanks for reminding.. I know he is one of those whom I rate very very high..
Coming back to SD Burman or Sachin Da as he was fondly addressed by one and all.. some people are born to be greats.. he was one of those..

Yet another great masterpiece is from the great movie Bandini..
मन की किताब से तुम

मेरा नाम ही मिटा देना

गुन तो न था कोई भी

अवगुण मेरे भला देना

..
मुझे आज की विदा का

मुझे आज की विदा का

मर के भी रहता इंतज़ार..

इ think you can all listen it at the youtube if you too like him as much as I do.. the link for you all
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kViinoEhgE
Brother if you permit me just one more song please.. isake baad kuchh nah mangoonga..
होता तू पीपल

मई होती अमरलता तेरी

तेरे गले माला बनके

पड़ी मुस्काती रे

सुन मेरे साथी रे

सुन मेरे बंधू रे

सुन मेरे मितवा

सुन मेरे साथी रे

The movie was much much ahead of its times.. Nutan ji has acted in some such great films.. at times.. I am not able to explain why did I choose Meena Kumari and Waheeda ji as the most favourites she was equally brilliant.. The youtube link for you all
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_mMaQIxFhE

and the wiki link to dada is given below
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sachin_Dev_Burman
The last song that he recorded before going into coma was
badi soon sooni hai from the film Mili..

Brother can we expect some reminiscence from your interactions with dada.. please

The one song that I love very much…
Tum mujhe yun bhula na paaoge..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5l4TeBXTXE
is from Pagla kahin ka by Shammi Kapoor..
And yet another song very close to my heart isHai duniya usiki zamana usi ka..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i85EpitOIkM
The movie brahmachaari was probably a tremendously good one.. the number aaj kal tere mere pyaar ke charche.. was so popular that it has even been used in some ads as well..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qFwo-B9xI0
I wish the ones who love Shammi sahab may wish to listen to these immortal songs one again..

Respected Brother

Sadar Namaskar
When I was recounting some of the best Shammi Kapoor songs I just forgot to mention the Teesari Manzil song

........

तुम ने मुझे देखा

हो कर मेहरबान

रुक गयी ये ज़मीन

थम गया आसमान

जाने मन जाने जान

तुमने ...

कही दर्द की सेहरा में

रुकते चलते होते

इन होंठों की हसरत में

तपते जलाते होते

मेहरबान हो गयी

जुल्फ की बदलियाँ

जान-ऐ-मन जान-ऐ-जान

लेकर ये हसीं जलवे

तुम भी ना कहा पहुचे

आख़िर को मेरे दिल तक

कदमों के निशाँ पहुचे

ख़त्म से हो गए

Today being his 78th birthday.. I thought what better way to wish him on this blog which has become a way of life for me.. moreover he is related to you through your daughter..A great star who deerves every bit to be labelled as first true superstar of Hindi Cinema.. Imagine.. Saira Bano, Asha Parekh and Sharmila Tagore started their career with his films..
I wish him once again a Very Happy Birthday…

Love

Abhaya Sharma

Friends

Shammi Kapoor and Mohammad Rafi was that immortal combination of songs that I find it very diffciult to tell you about each one in one go..
I would be biased against Saira Banu if I did not tell you about a song from Junglee..

तुमने मुझको हँसाना सिखाया

तुमने मुझको …

रोने कहोगे रो लेंगे अब

रोने कहोगे रो लेंगे

आंसू का हमारे ग़म न करो

वो बहते हैं तो बहने दो…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le6eqLkJ6uY

yet I was not aware that Saira Banu got the Filmfare award for her debut film.. she did look very pretty and talented.. I was just two years old at that time..
Love as always

And this last song of Shammi Kapoor’s birthday for its extraordinary music.. don’t ask me music director..

किसी न किसी से कब्भी न कभी

कहीं न कहीं दिल लगाना पड़ेगा

..…

किसको जग में अपना समझूं

संग मैं अपने ले लू

कोई रंगीली छैल छबीली

कोई रंगीली रसीली छैल छबीली

आज मेरी ज़िन्दगी में आके रहेगी…

ढूँढ रहा हूँमै वो दुनिया

प्यार जिसे कहते हैं -२

कौन वो किस्मत वाले हैं जो

लोग वहां रहते हैं

मुझको मेरे दिल लेके वहीं चल

मुझको मेरे दिल मेरे दिल लेके वहीं चल..

Have a Great Birthday Shammi Kapoor sahab.. bhaai would be saying .. Abhaya itani baar to tumne mujhe bhi wish nahi kiya dus din pahale.. Shammi sahab mein kya khaas baat hai.. hai bhaai hai.. I had received two mails from him one at the time of my sending him that rach do ab nai madhushala story to you along with vigyaan ki pooja.. and soon it was followed by another mail at the birth of Amrit.. Amrit was blessed by a super star on his arrival in this world.. you see.. fark hai ya nahi..

Love both of you..

AB Day 541 - Strong Reactions

Respected Brother

Sadar Charan Sparsh
I would for the first time like to know who those six fortunate individuals had been.. not that I have anything against them.. let the FmXt be aware of who were privileged.. and when and how the competition was organised.. if it was on the blog.. long long ago.. it was not well organised..
You keep talking of the fourth estate's disturbing episodes.. I can understand how painful it could be to be dishonest.. but then.. on this blog you never gave an inkling that some six members from our this very family.. or the family you consider FmXt were going to be part of the lunch.. you have full right to be privileged to keep the list within your chest.. and not disclose.. but if that is the case.. I would close down my shop.. I mean I had no intention of being a party to have lunch with you.. have told many a times that I am not even interested in coming over to shake hands and take a few photographs.. yet I also know that our Manoj Kumar Ojha.. a very sincere member of FmXt was in town especially to have a meeting with you on your birthday.. I understand that his exercise did not bear fruit.. Someone flying from Algeria.. making his intentions clear here on the blog.. he has been let down for whatever reasons..It is not who has been let down.. it is theentire FmXt who has been kept in dark about this meeting with some six individuals..
I am disenchanted.. Yes.. I am disllusioned.. yes.. I am forced into disinterest.. Yes..
Abhaya Sharma never has asked anything for his ownself and would never even ask.. not now.. not in future.. not under any conditions.. but Brother.. I do feel that this lunch with six FmXt.. does not seem to be lunch with actual FmXt.. I somehow get a feeling of sadness... not for me but for several deserving candidates here..
I now let you know the three wishes or questions that Amrit, m eleven year old wanted answers..1. Innocent yet intelligent question.. if you are the genie how could you fit into the small lamp2. When would your bhoot leave our house (clearly he means that why does my father all the time talk about you and think of you.. I know I should answer this question.. )3. I don't remember the third wish or question now..
It is for some reasons now irrelevant for ume to associate with you in the same way that I had been for more than a year..
It would not mean that I would not visit the blog.. It would also not mean tha my respect for you is going to diminish.. it is not going to mean that I would not be interested in what other members of FmXt write here..
yet it does Mean brother.. that I have to dissociate myself from the blog for looking beyond.. to remain answerable to my son.. to not get engrossed into my own world of facination and fantasy forever..
I Abhaya Sharma.. herewith pledge that I shall not thrust trhe blog with so much of my presence.. atleast a few of my friends here might feel releieved.. some few may even question my wisdom.. I have not said that I am not going to be part of it at all.. I just want to dossociate for a while.. contemplate and consider what and when shall I write here..
Please do not treat as a dejection.. do not even treat it as something against the fortunate six.. just treat it as a simple query as to when and how the six members were picked.. who were they.. and what were the criteria laid for their selection..
Love as always and Love you always

Abhaya Sharma

AB day 535 - To Dear Manoj

Dear Manoj Kumar Ojha (OjOj) and members FmXt

How very kind of you to have thought of representing us all.. as a matter of fact.. I extend my invitation to come and meet me too.. if time permits and you have no hesitation in meeting someone so miniscule after meeting someone so majestic..

It is out of great respect.. that I say that you and Ziibbu are beyond ordinary admirers like me.. I have been here in Mumbai for last so many years.. in fact.. I had strong desire to see him during his coolie accident.. but then his state at that point of time was such medically as well as otherwise.. that it was impossible for an ordinary scientist to even dream of meeting him.. I mean these words.. especially impossible..

Over the time.. it so happened that I was mre inclined towards theatre and was training myself to be a scientist.. there were just two occasions when I stopped in front of his house with some intent.. first was around late nineties when I wanted ABCL to be renamed as Amitabh Bachchan’s complex of library.. the original content is now available with me.. then on second occasion it was couple of years back on our return from Juhu Beach that two of my younger brother's son Apoorv and Amol and Amrit wanted to have a look and find out if they could see him.. Amrit had become quite angry when the watchman said a no.. he was holding a towel in his hand and had thrown at the Prateeksha entrance.. he was all but eight years at that time.. but he was quite angry..

For me.. I now have no desire to meet him personally.. meet him everyday here.. I can not expect meeting him for a few seconds as important as meeting him n daily basis and sometimes more than once in a day..

For me.. I feel.. he is an extraordinary man.. I should not disturb him for such ordinary things as an autograph or mere photograph..

हाँ.. किसी दिन कभी मेरे पास कोई ऐसी आवश्यकता होगी की उनसे मिले बिना गुजारा नही चलेगा तो अवश्य ही उनसे मिलने जाऊँगा.. वैसे कई बार सोचा ज़रूर था की मैं उनके यहाँ हो आऊं.. खासकर १९ जनुअरी २००५ को मॅन में बहुत इच्छा थी की एक बार डॉ. बच्चन के अन्तिम दर्शन कर आऊँ.. पर ऐसा हो न सका.. और अब ये बात मेरे दिल को हमेशा मसोसती रहती है .. मधुशाला के रचयिता से उनके अन्तिम समय में भी मिलने से वंचित रह गया..

बस यही सोचकर अब अपने मन को कठोर बना लिया है की.. भाईसाहब से मिलकर अगर उन्हें कोई ख़ास लाभ न हो तो मेरा उनसे मिलने का क्या तात्पर्य हो सकता है.. प्रशंसक तो मैं उनका हूँ.. और हमेशा रहूँगा.. उनका आभारी भी हो गया हूँ जिस तरह उन्होंने कुछ एक दफा मेरे लिखी बातें पढ़ी और कई एक बार उत्तर भी दिया..

बस.. इश्वर से यही मनोकामना है की भाई वास्तव में भाईचारे की नई मिसाल कायम कर सके.. विश्व शान्ति के प्रति कुछ कर सकें.. लोगों के बीच हार्मोनी बढ़ा सकें.. main यह नही जानता की वो ऐसा कर सकते है या नही, main मानता हूँ की वो इस दिशा में बहुत कुछ कर सकते हैं..

मुझे ना-उम्मीद कर दे उम्मीद तो नही..
दुनिया में ऐसा कोई मेरा भाई तो नही..

Let me take a break.. I have already submitted a double entry with nearly same content at #140.. the second part has a post script that is important and not a part of the unedited version that appeared first..

I am providing a link to a blog that I am maintaining just for him.. though some of the earlier contents are also present in my original blog.. and my very early communications of the blog are part fo some pdf links at my website..

the link is
http://abhayaamitabh.blogspot.com/ and
http://abhayakavi.blogspot.com/

Now, I do wish that Manoj if possible give me a call at 9869258653 once you reach Mumbai.. and if possible send me a mail about your exact schedule of Mumbai stay.. at anusite@gmail.com

With lots of love and thanks for representing us.. I wish that you get enough time with brother.. as he is quite busy these days..

Abhaya Sharma
October 9 2009

He is my childhood hero.. and for some reasons I have great attachment to my childhood.. even though it was not very pleasant.. it had great love and affection for Mr. Amitabh Bachchan.. I therefore present this Jagjit Singh’s Ghazal to brother as yet another dedication on his birthday..

मोहल्ले की सबसे निशानी पुरानी
वो बुधिया जिसे बच्चे कहते ठे नानी
वो नानी की बातों में परियों का डेरा
वो चेहरे की झुर्रियों में सदियों का फेरा
भुलाए नही भूल सकता है कोई
वो छोटी सी रातें वो लम्बी कहानी

वो कागज़ की कश्ती वो बारिश का पानी..

Dear Brother
Good morning

Let me first thank Shankar, Satinder, Sudhir, Archana & Valorie Adams

Valorie.. I love your comments. yet I was not feeling unwell.. in case I shall need help I shall not resist in seeking.. I am happy to have support of someone on the other side of the planet.. thanks a lot

dil-e-naadaa.N tujhe (mujhe) huaa kyaa hai
aaKhir is dard kii davaa kyaa hai

Archana.. thanks

Sudhir.. It is all right.. I never had any issues with you.. still thanks for explaining your stand here as well on mail.. you have full rights to tease me.. here is a partial couplet from chahcha Ghalib just for you..( not serious..)

ham hai.n mushtaaq aur vo bezaar
yaa ilaahii ye maajaraa kyaa hai

Satinder.. I have seen Seema, Bandini, Sujata I might get my hands on to Saudagar at the earliest.. I am not going to download or watch it from net.. I generally avoid buying duplicate CD/DVDs so net is ruled out.. I can suggest a few to you from the ones I like most.. Dosti, Raja aur Rank (esp. for the songs.. and tu kitani achchhi hai.. that maa song in particular.. its technicolor though not BW) and Kanoon.. more to follow later

mai.n bhii muu.Nh me.n zabaan rakhataa huu.N
kaash puuchho ki muddaa kyaa hai

Shankar.. you are such a lovable character some people objected seeing you always as number 1 and you obliged immediately..

mai.n ne maanaa ki kuchh nahii.n ‘Ghalib’
muft haath aaye to buraa kyaa hai

My sincere good morning to Aishwarya TVM, Vijaya, Amitabh Ziibbu, Dr. Anshu, Sanjith, Kashmira Di and Manoj Alegerian and dear Kabeerudin besides Dost Didi and bong sis I also remember Sharmila, Saroj, Srinivas.. I find that R in my first year of the blog and now S in the second year have played some significant role.. would it be in the third year.. I shall have to wait for that for a long time..

haa.N bhalaa kar teraa bhalaa hogaa
aur darvesh kii sadaa kyaa hai

I do not know how many of you are conversant with reading Hindi.. I do have a serious thought in using mostly Hindi.. I did have such ideas earlier too.. but at that point of time.. I found that the ones I knew even Indians amongst them (Kishore and Reshmi and friends from south) found it all too diffciult to find some ways to read.. and the whole exercise had been called off before it could really take off..

Respected Brother,
Sadar Charan Sparsh
Bhaai, I am here first because of you then for others yet today if I am writing to you at the end of this post.. I want to share the feelings of Swami Vivekanand at the International conference..

Swami Vivekanand had tough times at world religion conference at Chicago.. he did look like a fakir.. he did have to undergo several tests of patience and perseverance..

During the conference Shrimad Bhagvat Gita was pushed down to the bottom of the rack of religious scriptures that were representing different religions.. when his turn came to speak.. he said Shrimad Bhagvat Geeta was at the root of all religions.. it lend support to the rest of the scriptures of the world.. a negative has been converted into a sure shot success.. and everyone in the conference hall applauded him for so long that he had to wait.. I do not know the exact words.. if someone is interested they can dig that out from net.. but in essence he said that Hindu religion provided the foundation for rest of the religions to build upon..

So brother, you are the fondation stone of this blog or this blogosphere.. you take everything positive or negative in your stride like a true champion.. I salute thee for your commendable acts away from the silver screen.. you may not win any awards for being here but I am convinced that brother you are above any kind of awards and rewards for that matter..

jaan tum par nisaar karataa huu.N
mai.n nahii.n jaanataa duaa kyaa hai

Love Affection and Pyaar
Abhaya

Post scripts: The other couplets were put later.. initial post had only jaan tum par nissar karta hoon.. main nahi jaanta duaa kya hai.. some of the couplets appear thrusted not the one for Sudhir.. you read it for what it means.. ( I have my ways of teasing.. tumse pyaar karta hoon.. )

and you all can listen the original (oops in fact you can see Neena Gupta performing it on screen and Chitra Singh rendering her very soft and pleasant melancholic voice to the beautiful words of Mirza sahab..)

Sudhir! O dear Sudhir!
How is that! where did you pick these couplets from Meena Kumari ji.. I had tried long back I could not get.. I think I can again try today.. and If I am not able to locate to tumhaari sharan mei aata hoon.. ( I did just now found her at Urdu poetry..)

Boss.. Meena Kumari le liye mere dil mei utani hi jagah hai jitani brother ke liye.. (utani hi not in the sense of only but in the sense of as much as..) I know you did not have to be explained of it.. but some others who may not understand and try to do literal translation may think otherwise..

I loved the couplets and loved the translation too.. How much I wished that brother had acted opposite her.. I had only recently seen her Yahudi, Dil Diya Dard Liya and Ek Hi Rasta.. she is on top among the collection of DVD/VCDs of female actors in my collection..

quite a few years back in my attempt to clean the dust from VCD of Pakeezah I had used the cotton dipped in acetone.. being a chemist I did not know it would spoil the disc.. mai bas roya hi nahi.. I have not yet purchased the DVD of Pakeezah yet after that incident..

Could you send me a mail at anusite@gmail.com I tried to locate you at facebook but could not sudhir is such a common name.. I would definitely love you to be on my mailing list.. even though I don't write mails these days.. not much to even family members..

Ham tere pyaar mein

saara lam kho baithe hain

kho baithe

tum kahate ho ki

aise pyaar ko bhool jaao..

bhool jaao..

Addendum

Dr. Anshu
A birthday question just for you.. why.. probably you may have never seen or known me asking it.. it was quite sometime back.. and it followed after I wanted to tell brother the words of the song as a request unto him for us..

Tera mera saath rahe

Tera mera saath rahe

dhoop ho chhaya ho

din ho ki raat rahe ..

I want the movie and actor opposite AB in this song..

and if you know singing too.. which I think you do.. just sing it for your dear husband.. and give my regards to him.. no, no, I am not encroachng on your private life.. just making a simple request.. tum mujhe nirash nahi karogi..
Love

Dear Rochelle!

Everybody knows that

an appointment with a dentist

can only be a disaster

and nothing else it could be for

everybody knows

it is very well true..

Oh My God.. Leonard Cohen would nt sue me for my words.. for everybody knows that I am not Leonard Cohen I am just simple me.. and if I were to be sued I would remian what I only would be.. and not get you punished for you thought it were we.. for everybdy knows that it is not fair to be ‘we’ when it comes out as some punishment for me..

Take care everybody..Abhaya Sharma

I have returned from seeing a couple of old punk bands and re-read your post.I just want to wish you the best in any life decision that you may have made. But I really hope your realization has only been due to the adjustment from being idle or from your grandchildren tiring you out, which is what they’re supposed to do I think. I haven’t posted any song lyrics recently so I think this is in line with the topic of people being honest with themselves:
Leonard Cohen: “Everybody Knows”
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded

Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed

Everybody knows that the war is over

Everybody knows the good guys lost

Everybody knows the fight was fixed

The poor stay poor, the rich get rich

Thats how it goes

Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking

Everybody knows that the captain lied

Everybody got this broken feeling

Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets

Everybody wants a box of chocolates

And a long stem rose

Everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me baby

Everybody knows that you really do

Everybody knows that youve been faithful

Ah give or take a night or two

Everybody knows youve been discreet

But there were so many people you just had to meet

Without your clothes

And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows

Thats how it goes

Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows

Thats how it goes

Everybody knows
And everybody knows that its now or never

Everybody knows that its me or you

And everybody knows that you live forever

Ah when youve done a line or two

Everybody knows the deal is rotten

Old black joes still pickin cotton

For your ribbons and bows

And everybody knows
And everybody knows that the plague is coming

Everybody knows that its moving fast

Everybody knows that the naked man and woman

Are just a shining artifact of the past

Everybody knows the scene is dead

But theres gonna be a meter on your bed

That will disclose

What everybody knows
And everybody knows that youre in trouble

Everybody knows what youve been through

From the bloody cross on top of calvary

To the beach of malibu

Everybody knows its coming apart

Take one last look at this sacred heart

Before it blowsAnd everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows

Thats how it goes

Everybody knows
Oh everybody knows, everybody knows

Thats how it goes

Everybody knows
Everybody knows

On that cheerful note, I will say goodnight and start my days off with a dentist appointment which is always a disaster.

Love,

Rochelle

Happy Birthday Savita - 22nd September

I know I should find some more time for you and also for Amrit!!

Abhaya

Pyaar mujhse jo kiyaa..

Arrey bhaai! don't get upset with seeing so much of this one guy.. Abhaya Sharma..
He has been blessed with some undue attention.. it is just unbeleivable that some like Shankar wish to express respect.. (yaar zinda rahane doge ya nahi..)

I don't I know Ziibbu( Your hamnaam), Dr. Anshu and even Manoj Kumar (not of Upkar and Shaheed fame.. but the best student of ABSQ !) would all be knowing just too much not only about you but also the rest of the world.. and rest of Hindi Cinema...

Yet If I could admit of some of my undoings it is natural.. BY naming few hundreds and forgetting the other hundreds whom I know as I sometime come across some beautiful posts but is that always possible to be able to remember all the names.. No, I don't maintain a database and maybe if I have to use these names all over again, I would rather prefer not to copy paste.. I do not consider that as spontaneous.. It does not reflect my thinking.. I can only write of what I have been thinking.. Therefore if anyone ascribes or tries to find the order in naming he would not find any order may be except the two most important persons AB (you brother) and GB ( Gisele is at the end- my longtime American author friend- par lagata hai aaj kal katti chal rahi hai.. nahi bhaai.. darasal kissa aisa hai ki mere paas usko DhaaDhas bandhaane ke liye paryaapt shabd nahi hain..

Aaj bahut logon ne bahut kuchh likha hai.. har kisi ko yah bata dena uchit to nahi hoga.. ki bhaai ke blog par itna apaar sneh jo tum log bematlab mere upar luta rahe ho.. shankar Manoj ya Sanjith kuchh bhi kahe.. iska hakdaar main nahi hoon.. Jahjit Singh ki ek ghazal yaad aa rahi hai.. par dar lagata hai uski vajah se kahin whossing agent ko gussa aa gaya.. meri post drop ho jayegi.. isliye I just mention the Ghazal and not the link..

Pyaar mujhse jo kiya tumne
to kyaa paaogi
mere halaat ki andhi mein
bikhar jaaogi...


and the one from Saath-Saath movie.. ( If I have never told.. I love Deepti Naval as much as Jaya Madam..)
Prsaadam, Vijji was allright.. I liked it and thanks for going to cook it all over again .. though I fear the recipe was incomplete.. Sis Rose it seems you had some chat with Savita Bhabhi ( not the net vaali.. your real Savita bhabhi.. lol) .. no backbitig na Sis..
Ravi Sir.. and all of the good people including Mithaai Lal ji I am indeed proud to be part of your family..Sanjith bhau.. Let's have a better day in the South Africa after the poor show in the practice match.. yahan jiyana pyaar mil raha hai shayad zindagi mein itana kabhi nahi mila ( The kind of love and affection that I am getting from all of you.. I have never ever experienced it in such bountiful in my entire life.. Thanks and why I want to avoid names.. then it becomes a sort of a chain reaction and we sometimes distract ourselves far too much off the target.. bhaaijaan ka blog hai.. vo chahhe kuchh bhi kahen ya na kahen is baare mein.. we must exercise a bit of restraint..

To be sure.. I would love you even if you are not reciprocating every time I thank or think of you!

Archie, Aish, Sharmila and some of the rest
some of you are maybe always the best
Reeham, Rose and Carla in the West
(Hope) My love for the guys is not on test !

I think I can openly say here that I love some of the guys the most.. first and foremost there is an actor from Hindi Cinema.. who probably is the owner of the blog.. if you are looking for some hints.. He is 6'2" going to be 68 and has more hits than 66..oops that guy right now must be thinking of this guy who has just hijacked his plane of blog...

Then There is this Ravi Prakash Malhotra ( Bhaisahab, adabarze!), There used to be our Subhash Kaura sahab.. and recently I have found Sudhir somewhat too close. Sanjith, Shankar and Deepak (Taunk to be precise) have all been good for me.. and Manoj, Kabeer and A to Z (Amitabh Ziibbu) too find lions share of this love.. I am sorry if I have missed some important ones..

Again, I was thinking to keep it straight and simple.. par kyaa karun.. aap logon ka naam jubaan par apane aap chala aata hai to mera kya kasoor hai..

aapki nigaah ne kaha to kuchh jaroor hai
mera dil machal gaya to mera kyaa kasoor hai..

Sabka naam loon aur do bahanon ko bhool jaaon.. ek chhoti baan is my Bong di.. Tumpa Ghosh.. and my badi bahan.. is now Dost Didi my Kashmira didi.. shayad kuchh logon ko to mai kabhi bhi bhool nahi paaonga..

I would rather or better save this draft and make it available for abhayafriends.blogspot.com ( I will need to check if it is friend or friends.. vaise hona to firends hi chahiye..agar keyboard mahashay ne us din baraabar saath diya hoga to..

Love..

Brother, Shall I just add opne thing here.. you assume that whatever I amm telling these gusy and maybe some gals or rather less guys and more gals is that your blog is one blessed to see such interactions as we have it here so freely.. as one would have never expected before.. the credit of its success lies in the succes of your efforts.. the pain and perseverance that you have shown despite some of the odds.. that you have coined and joined this EF or FmXt as its head.. we are greatful.. tahe dil se aapke shukr-guzaar hai aur hamesha rahenge..

Abhaya Sharma September 21/22 2009 12:50 AM IST

Dr. Shashi Mohan Sharma - High Reputation Man!

DEAR ALL,

MANY THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING MY TRUE & INNER FEELINGS. IN THIS TIME OF MANY PEOPLE LEFT ALONE IN THIS CRUEL WORLD, FIGHTNG WITH MANY SOCIO-ECONOMIC, PERSONAL AND UNEXPECTING PROBLEMS, WE NEED TO FIND A RAY OF HOPE AND HAPPINESS, NO MATTER WHERE.

I FIND THAT MR BACHCHAN'S BLOG IS GIVING MANY THE SAME HOPE AND ENCOURAGEMENT, THE ONE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR AND BRINGING MANY LIKE MINDED PEOPLE TOGETHER. I FELT VERY EXCITED AND HAPPY TO BE A PART OF BIG B'S EXTENDED FAMILY. I AM PLEASED TO CONFIRM THAT BIB B IS ONE OF MY IDEAL SINCE 30 YEARS, AS HE NOT ONLY GAVE US A LOT OF HAPPINESS THROUGH HIS ACTING TALENT, BUT ALSO PROVED AND SHOWN US THAT ONE CAN DO , WHAT ONE CAN IMAGINE SENSIBLY IN LIFE.

AFTER A GREAT SETBACK IN HIS LIFE (EVEN SUPERMAN LIKE HIM DID SUFFER) ONE CAN COME BACK EVEN BETTER AFTER BITTER EXPERINCES OF LIFE. I DID SUFFER MY SELF AFTER BEING LET DOWN BY MY BUSINESS MANAGERS AND PERSONAL STAFF RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF MILLIONS AND NEARLY PENNILESS 4 YEARS AGO. I AM NOT ASHAMED OF CONFIRMING HERE THAT DEAR BIG B WAS MY INSPIRATIONAL HERO, WHO PORTRAYED IN MANY MOVIES TO CONTINUE FIGHTING INJUSTICE, AND WINNING ULTIMATELY.

I HAD LOT OF MONEY, WHEN DEAR BIG B WAS IN TROUBLE, EVEN MY DEAR WIFE SUNITA, WHO EQUALLY LOVE AND RESPECT BIG B AGREED WITH ME TO HELP BIG BROTHER WITH A HANDSOME AMOUNT OF MONEY.WHICH I COULD NOT DO FOR SOME REASON.

PEOPLE ARE VERY CRUEL & SELFISH, AS WE SAY ALL SALUTES TO THE RISING SUN. AND EVEN YOUR OWN SHADOW VANISHES IN THE DARKNESS.

WE ARE LINKED HERE BY THE GRACE OF OUR FATE AND MR BACHCHAN IS ONLY A BIDING GLUE FOR US. I UNDERSTAND THAT MOST OF OUR EF MEMBERS ARE VERY INTELLEGENT AND THEY WOULD NOT FOLLW ANY SILLY SUGGESTION OR REQUESTFROM ME OR MR BACHCHAN. I AM VERY CONFIDANT, THAT DEAR BROTHER WILL NOT ASK OR FORCE US TO DO ANYTHING WHICH IS NOT GOOD FOR US, MOREOVER IT IS OUR CHOICE TO DO WHAT WE LIKE AND FEEL GOOD FOR US. IF SOMEONBE ASK YOU TO JUMP IN THE WELL, WILL YOU DO THAT?

I AM SURPRISED, THAT THERE ARE CONFUSIONS UNDERSTANDING MY MESSAGE , AS A MEMBER OF EF ALL ARE FREE TO EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS AND SUGGESTIONS. PLEASE READ AGAIN MY MESSAGE, WHERE I AM CONFIRMING THAT THIS IS A HUMBLE REQUEST. IF WE A SMALL OR FRACTION OF GOOD AND INTELLEGENT PEOPLE WILL NOT UNDERSTAND THE MESSAGE OF LOVE AND LIVE IN PEACE AND HARMONY, THEN WHAT MESSAGE WE WILL GIVE TO OTHERS? LET US PROVE THAT WE ARE A GOOD FAMILY.

I DO NOT LIKE WRITING LONG MESSAGES, BUT HERE I FEEL LIKE EXPRESSING AND SHARING MY THOUGHTS WITH LIKE MINDED FRIENDS.

IF IT HURT ANYONE, THEN I ASK YOU TO PARDON ME, BUT BELEIVE ME I SHALL CONTINUE LOVING ALL OF YOU WITHOUT ANY BAD FEELING, AS MY MESSAGE IS LOVE ALL AND HATE NONE. AND I AM NOT CHANGING IT UNTIL MY LAST BREATH.

MORE NEXT TIME.

WITH BEST WISHES

DR SHASHI MOHAN SHARMA
