SILSILA !!!

‘Haadsa baanke koi khwab bikhar jaaye toh kya ho; Waqt jasbaad ko tabdeel nahi kar sakta; Door ho jaane se ehsaas nahi mar sakta; Yeh Mohabbat hain dil o ka rishtaa, aisa rishtaa joh zameen o ki tarah sarhad o mein kabhi taksin nahi ho sakta. Tu kisi aur ki raaton ka haseen chand sahi, mere duniya ke har rang mein shaamil tu hain. Tujhse raushan hain mere khwab, meri ummeedein, main kisi rahon se gujroon, meri manzil tu hain.’

The Air Force Officer was madly in love with a girl. ‘Naino mein neendiyan, neendiyan mein sapne, sapno mein saajan jab se basaa; baharein aayi jeevan mein, nayi hulchul hain tann mann mein, ek roop basaa hain aankhiyon mein.’ Amit was a great elocutionist and his voice in All India Radio used to win the hearts of several ladies. At the Gurdeep Singh’s marriage ceremony, the tall gentleman fell in love at first sight after seeing that tall lady who was wearing a pink coloured salwar kameez.

The celebration of Simran’s wedding began. ‘Pehli pehli baar dekha aisa jalwa, yeh ladki hain ya shola; Shola hain shola, sholay se darna, warna toh thande paani mein marna, O mundeya, rahem jawaani pe kha.’ Gurdeep’s friend got all the information about that girl from Gurdeep’s wife. Someone sent some roses and a cassette to that girl. ‘Phool khamosh rahe kar bhi apne rang aur khusboo se bahut kuch kahe dete hain. Kabhi furshad ho toh mere baareme inse puchiye toh sahi.’

Shekhar invited his younger brother to visit Kashmir for few days. The girl was worried as well as enjoying the company of two drunkard brothers. ‘Bhai bhi kamaal ka aadmi hain, Air Force ki jeep aise chala raha hain jaise apna jet plane chala raha ho.’ ‘Aahista tab chalegi jab chalegi, gear mein toh daaliye.’ The drunkard brothers were in love with a same girl, Maya! ‘Maya kahan hain aaj kaal?’ ‘Woh ish waqt apne char bacchon aur pati dev ke saath Ropar Station pe khaari apne train ka intezaar kar rahi hogi?’

Vidyarthi suggested him like an Ustad. Amit impressed Ms. Achala to get his drama sanctioned. Chandni saw the drama and fell in love with the lead actor of that drama. ‘Dekha ek khwab toh yeh silsiley hue, dur tak nigahon mein hain gul khiley hue.’ In the Indo-Pak War, four planes of Pakistani Air Force were completely destroyed by an Indian Air Force Squadron. But, in that war, the Squadron Leader died as his plane crashed. To retain Sobha’s social respect, a person married her. But, alas, Dr. V.K.Anand failed to save Sobha’s baby.

True Love is more dangerous and addictive than any alcohol. Mrs. Anand gifted some roses to the patient. In those days, there were no mobile phones, but, the concept of blank calls was very popular in all the landline connections. By hearing the blank calls, the lady understood who was trying to call her. ‘Yaadon ke jharokhon mein beeti hui baaton ko, ukhri hui shaason mein kuch lamho ke raaz o ko, pyar ke shabnam mein, ansunhi geeton ko, sunsaan se raahon mein bhoolein huye baaton ko woh yaad karein?’

The old love birds started meeting each other again secretly. Vidyarthi saw both of them dining at a restaurant. Vidyarthi came to his friend’s house and appreciated that his friend has got some traits of Lord Krishna within him. The All India Drama Association decided to award a Gold Medal to Amit. ‘Woh medal tu rakh lena, mujhe gold de dena.’ Amit’s wife was told to stay at the house but his ex-lover attended the program by wearing a red coloured saree. After watching the program on TV, Sobha understood everything.

True Love sometimes behaves like a Wine. The older it is, the tastier it becomes. ‘Main aur meri tanhai aksar yeh baatein karte hain. Tum hoti toh kaisa hota, tum yeh kahati, tum woh kahati, tum issh baat pe hairan hoti, tum ush baat pe kitni haasti, tum hoti toh aisa hota, tum hoti toh waisa hota.’ ‘Yeh kahan aa gaye hum, yunhi saath saath chalte, tere bahon mein yeh jaanam mere jism jaan peeghalke.’ ‘Yeh Chand hain ya tumhara kangan, sitaare hain ya tumhare aanchal. Yeh sochta hoon main kab se gumshum ke jab ke mujhko bhi yeh khabar hain ke tum nahi ho kahi nahi ho; magar yeh dil hain ki kahe raha hain, tum yehi ho, yehi kahi ho.’ ‘Tanhai ki raat ek idhar bhi hain aur udhaar bhi. Kahene ko bahut kuch hain par kisse kahein hum, kab tak yunhi khamosh rahe aur sahe hum, dil kahata hain duniya ki har rashm utha de, deewar joh hum dono mein hain aaj geera de, kyon na dil mein sulagte rahe logon ko bataa de; haan humko mohabbat hain, mohabbat hain, Mohabbat.’

Due to that car accident, the local police filed a case. When doctor arrived at the Police Station, the culprits and the victims were gone. Sobha’s cousin brother saw Amit somewhere. ‘Bhai saab, meri mulakat sayed ho chuki aapse.’ The cop understood the entire drama after visiting Dr. Anand’s house. ‘Janaab hamari bibi ki pehli holi hain yeh aur phir aap honge toh rang jam hee jayega.’ ‘Jee haan, ish desh mein pati, premi nahi hote.’  

The dance of Holi festival started. ‘Rang barse, bheege chunarwali rang barse. Launga Elaichi ka beeda lagaya, arrey jab yeh gori ka yaar balam tarse, tab Rang Barse.’ Dr. Anand understood everything. ‘Har aadmi ka ek ateet hota hain. Main apni patni ko ghulam nahi, insaan samajhta hoon.’ In the mythological story, the Princess was weak when the Fairy came to snatch away the Prince from that Princess. But, in reality, the Princess should be strong. The King motivated the Princess to fight against the Fairy.

The doctor went to Mumbai. Amit took a bold decision. Why Chandni went to Shimla? Sobha felt depressed. ‘Meera kaha Prabhu, Brij ke Baasi. Tum mere Thakur, main teri Daasi. Joh tum torho Piya, main nahi torhu re.’ Did anyone survive in that plane crash? Who became pregnant? Did anyone file a divorce case? ‘Khushi se hari bhari hogi, yeh duniya teri meri hogi, ek phool khilega bagiyon mein.’ Do you think that Love is Faith and Faith is forever? Did those Love Birds succeed in healing their respective wounded heart after their Romantic “Silsila”?
