Enigma...


There are certain things
Science can't explain...
Why do we like one particular person
why do we get married to a certain person
and why do we miss an accident
similarly, we can't explain
why certain people are very lucky while playing tambola game
the same person keep winning the draw of lots
similarly, I can't explain scientifically
why most of the children delivered by me through cesarean
are always male...

An art...

Smiling incessantly is an art
being pleasant persistently is an art
doggedly entertaining the world is an art
stubbornly refusing to be bad is an art
staying obstinately as a life time friend is an art...

Baba...

Bachpan mein ek kahani kahin suna tha
ek baba kaheen raha karte thei
hamesh mast aur khush rahte thei
loag unhe dekhne jaya karte thei
ek din baba anya dinon se bhee zyada
khush thei aur mast hokar naach rahe thei
loagon ne poochcha unse ki mast hone ka rahsya kya hai
Baba ne kaha..mere paas ek hee lota tha...jo mera sab kuchh tha
jise main nahane, paani peene wa bhiksha mangne ke liye
istamaal karta tha...woh bhee aaj kho gayi..
mere paas sambhalne ke liye kuchch bhee nahee raha
isee liye main mast hokar naach raha hun...
Aaj kal mera bhee haal kuchch Baba..ki tarah hee hai
har waqt mast rahta hun...aur naachta rahta hun
mujhse bhi loag poochchte rehte hain...
PP itna khush rahne ka raaz kya hai
uss raaz ko main khud bhee jan na chahta hun...

Sinister and abusive Pandas of Jagannath Puri...

I was just married then and we decided to have a low budget honeymoon at Konark, Chilka lake, Puri and Bhubaneswar. Our stay at hotel Ashok and Pathanivas was excellent and was easily affordable. Visit to the various temples of Bhubaneswar was great. Lingaraj, Mukteshwar were excellent and our visit to Pipli and applique work of Pipli is unforgettable. Visit to Udaygiri and Khandagiri caves was equally exciting. Sun temple of Konark is a must visit place as well as the famous Chilka lake. Kalinga sight seeing was informative.
But the most disappointing place of our visit was Shri Jagannath Temple of Puri and our encounter with Pandas ..the priests of Jagannath Puri temple. You might not have ever come across anyone so sinister and abusive. I would rather call them robbers who are capable of most heinous acts.

Maut...death...

Dear Friends, you may like my recording on my mobile phone...
the famous dialogue of Amitabh bachchan and Rajesh Khanna..in Anand..
Maut tu ek kavita hai ..
mujhase ek kavita ka vaadaa hai milegi mujhako ..

dubati nabzon mein jab dard ko neend aane lage
zard saa cheharaa liye chaand ufak tak pahunche
din abhi paani mein ho raat kinaare ke kareeb
na abhi andheraa ho, na ujaalaa ho, na raat na din
jism jab khatm ho aur ruuh ko saans aae .

mujhase ek kavita ka vaadaa hai milegii mujhako ..

Death you are a poem..
a poem has made pact with me that I shall meet her ..

when drowning pulse will bring on painful sleep
when Moon carrying her yellow face will reach horizon
when days still in water and night close to shore
there is not yet darkness, neither light, not night not day
when body is gone and soul still breaths.

a poem has made pact with me that I shall meet her ..

secrets of longevity and being agile and alert...

Today I met a patient of mine who is 82 years young
He came for his cataract surgery and pre-anaesthetic evaluation
He came on his scooter without any escort
He is an alumni of IIT Kharagpur
He is absolutely alert and agile
I asked him the secret of his being so active at his age
He told me that he regularly gives lectures on scientific topics
at various colleges and he loves reading books
he is a voracious reader
and he is a vegetarian..
.

Kay Kay...Krishnakumar Kunnath...the best singer..we have in Bollywood...

I stayed at Chennai for the last fifteen days
the best evening there was undoubtedly
watching Kay Kay performing live...
I have recorded the entire program live
I feel, he is one of the best singers
available with us
but not duly recognized
as he should be
à la Jesudas
Do listen to this song...
I saw him performing live
non-stop for three hours...
he is just too good to be true...
Awaarapaan Banjarapaan
Ek Hala Hai Sine Mein
Har Dam Har Pal Bechaini Hai
Kaun Bhala Hai Seene Mein

Is Dharti Par Jis Pal Suraj
Roz Savere Ugta Hai
Is Dharti Par Jis Pal Suraj
Roz Savere Ugta Hai
Apne Liye To Thik Usi Pal
Roz Dhala Hai Seene Mein
Awaarapaan Banjarapaan
Ek Hala Hai Sine Mein

Jaane Yeh Kaisi Aag Lagi Hai
Is Mein Dhua Na Chingari
Jane Yeh Kaisi Aag Lagi Hai
Is Mein Dhua Na Chingari
Ho Na Ho Us Par Kahin Koi
Khwaab Jala Hai Seene Mein
Awaarapaan Banjarapaan
Ek Hala Hai Sine Mein

Jis Raste Par Tapta Suraj
Sari Raat Nahi Dhalta
Jis Raste Par Tapta Suraj
Sari Raat Nahi Dhalta
Ishq Ki Aise Raha Guzar Ko
Hum Ne Chuna Hai Seene Mein
Awaarapaan Banjarapaan
Ek Hala Hai Sine Mein

Kahan Kise Ke Liye Hai Mumkin
Sab Ke Liye Ek Sa Hona
Kahan Kise Ke Liye Hai Mumkin
Sab Ke Liye Ek Sa Hona
Thoda Sa Dil Mera Bura Hai
Thoda Bhala Hai Seene Mein
Awaarapaan Banjarapaan
Ek Hala Hai Sine Mein
