Alok da!

( आलोक दा बायें से प्रथम, प्रबोध दा दायें से प्रथम 9 फरवरी 1992)

आदरणीय भाईसाहब
सादर चरण स्पर्श
कल बहुत कुछ कहना चाहते हुये भी बहुत कम कह पाया था, इस बात का मलाल नही है । अक्सर हम जब बहुत अधिक कहना चाहते है तब कुछ भी नही कह पाते । आज डाक्टर बच्चन की कविता का जबाव मै कविता में ही दे रह हूं, बिना अधिक प्रयास के कुछ शब्द यूं ही पद्यबद्ध कर दिये है, यह आवश्यक नही कि मेरे हर शब्द में कुछ अर्थ निहित हो - आपके लिये यहां एक मिनट पहले लिखी पंक्तियां सम्मिलित कर रहा हूं –

हे खग, हे इस जग के नभचर
किसने तुमको पहचाना है
उड़ जाते हो फुर्र से ऊंचे
कहां पकड़ में फिर तुम आते
समय तुम्हारे साथ उड़ चला
क्या तुमने यह नही माना है ।

पंख अगर होते मेरे भी
तुम से मिलने नभ में आता
बैठ कहीं एक डाल पे मै भी
अपने मन की कथा सुनाता

पर कहां कहीं यह संभव जग में
मिल पाना मिल कर ना जाना
आया है जो प्राणी जग में
उसको है एक दिन उड़ जाना
लगा रहा है मेला जग में
यह मेले में खोकर पहचाना ।

पिछले कुछ दिनों से मै जो भी कहना चाह रहा था वह सब मेरी अपनी कहानी होते हुये भी उस भाई की कहानी भी है जो आज हमारे बीच न होते हुये भी मुझे बेहद याद आता है - वास्तव में अगर मै यहां इतनी अधिक निकटता से लिखता हूं तो उसमें इस बात का समावेश अवश्य ही है कि आप के अंदर मै आलोक दा को देखता हूं - आलोक दा के प्रति (जन्म 11 जनवरी 1955 मृत्यु 18 मार्च 1994)

कहां चले गये हो तुम
जहां में हमको छोड़ के

कहां कभी मिलोगे तुम
किसी गली के मोड़ पे

कहो किसे कहूं कि तुम
चले ये नाते तोड़ के

सोचता हूं क्या थे तुम
जब तार सारे जोड़ के

भाई से बढ़कर थे तुम
संसार की इस होड़ में

जब भी याद आते हो तुम
बस रोता हूं दिल मरोड़ के ।

---------------
जानता हूं
अच्छा नही,
यूं इस तरह से याद करना
यूं बेपनाह प्यार करना
या फिर से एक फरियाद करना

जानता हूं
लौट कर ना आ सकोगे
फिर गीत ना संग गा सकोगे
ना फिर कटेंगें रात-दिन
जैसे कटे थे एक पल छिन
भूल जाना ही भला है
पर भूल पाता हूं कहां मैं ।

Day 625 of ABs blog

The most Respected and Reverred Brother of Humanity
My deepest and warmest wishes to you of the early morning!

I should admit here that what you have said of the meetings with Narendra Modi.. of what you referred of SRK.. of what you mentioned of other luminaries in the profession.. of all that you express here day in and day out.. aap kisi aur hi mitti ke bane ho bhaai.. aap ka koi jawaab nahi..

India in general.. Gujarat in particular.. and Indian actors to be specific have great talents.. I must freely admit here that for some personal reasons I had been having a stored hatred for the state of Gandhiji.. not so much for him.. not so much for Modi.. Not so much for any other conceivable reason that could fill the mind easily but for the fact that I lost my immediate elder brother late Alok Sharma under bizarre circumstances of his love mariage going eerie.. sometimes mind gets overwhelmed by personal losses and gets influenced to think away from the normal behaviour.. I today admit to my Gujarat friends that I am at wrong to label the state the way I had been doing it over last 15 years since my own personal grievances with it.. it is nt correct to believe or think that a state becomes bad by our singel experience with it.. may I whole heartedly be apologetic to Gujarat and rediscover my ways to change the way I feel about it.. I shall try and abstain mixing personal reactions away from the beneral associations..

I would rather not speak of Narendra Modi so much.. politics not on my agenda.. yet the man who could be labelling himself as common man and CM.. I do not shy away to say that he has indeed made a very true observation about PAA and your enacting the role of Auro devoid of face and voice.. indeed I agree fully well with him on that matter..

Bhaai.. I have been having this thought of writing the last parts of Bachcan Sandhya.. the Pushpa bharti episode.. if I have not been able to type it down and upload here or at one of my own blogs.. there is absolutely no question f unwillingness.. there could not be.. this last part actually comes with some great revelations about her and the most of it concerns like some ways I hold her so close to my heart.. you may or may not remember how in one very old post I had thought or believed that she was our Pushpa Mausi.. she is not.. she is more than a Pushpa mausi.. she had some attributes very close to my mother.. so she is more like maa si than Mausi.. that Pushpa Mausi was another character who was a sanskrit student of my nanaji.. I was told that she had some sort of royal background.. more of it in the Hindi version as and when I conclude the Bachchan Sandhya..

May I take some of your time and persuade you to visit my newly acquired ( 15th December 2009) website at http://www.abhayasharma.net and enoy the way I feel about you.. I do have a plan to accomodate more of Dr. Bachchan and I must not hesitate to say here that if and whenever you do undertake any project like Buddham Sharanam Gachchhami or on the life of Buddha.. please do call me to be a part of the extras.. I would simply love to be a part of anything that has Buddha as its central character.. Instead of seeking payment I may pay you for enabling me of such trifle request.. of course only what is within my capacity.. you should not ask huge amounts.. No, no, I am not saying that you would want to do it that way.. I just wanted to express my desire to be part of any such venture..

I abruptly come to an end of this post.. yet must state here that yesterday when bidding farewell to a senior colleague I did manage the show well and earned compliments from Chief executive himself about ny growing compering abilities.. this was only the second time around.. no more of boasting.. it was spontaneity that would have appealed to most of the people.. I prefer to appear unprepared.. like all my posts here...

Love respect and regards to you and the entire FmXt
Abhaya Sharma

PS Before I submit the contents a Kabir Doha for all..

माया मरी न मन मरा, मर-मर गए शरीर ।
आशा तृष्णा न मरी, कह गए दास कबीर ॥

Kabir says that lure and expectations don't die easily even if the physical body does.. The hope and thirst for more does not quench, so once said saint Kabir.
