MR. KOMAL PRIYA(KP) SCURRIED AROUND, DESPERATE TO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF HIS DKR- KOMAL'S BEAUTY; HER SKIN SO FAIR, THE PROFILE SO PERFECT. AND OH, THE HAIR ! IT HAD SUDDENLY LEAPT OUT OF BOUNDS OF THE PLAITS SHE WORE , AND NOW POST LEAP, IT WAS HAUGHTILY FLOWING DOWN HER SHOULDER. FEELING WRETCHED, HE WAS ON THE VERGE OF SHOUTING CHUPNE WAALI SAAMNE AA' WHEN DKR'S FAV. GAALIS; SAALI, SAALA AND SASURA WAFTED ACROSS AND CHIMED IN HIS EARS . OH! THOSE MAGICAL WORDS! YES.. SUDDENLY IT FELT LIKE A COOL BROOK WAS BURBLING IN HIS EARS , SANCTIFYING HIM! TICKLED PINK AND HIS HEART DHAKDHAKKING HE RUSHED TO THE ORIGIN OF THAT GANGAAVATARAN, ONLY TO CATCH RADHE & SAKTHI RIBBING EACH OTHER IN THEIR USUAL CRUDE STYLE. SAALE, SASURE, HOW DARE THEY USE HIS DKR'S GAALIS! HE WOULD SUE THEM FOR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT!
HUGELY FRUSTRATED , HE LOOKED AROUND FOR A CHAIR AND SLUMPED ON IT. HE REMEMBERED HIS FATHER'S PHAVERIT SONG ' THU CHUPI HAIN KAHAAN, MAIN TADAPTA YEHAN'. HE WOULD TAKE OUT HIS DKR'S NAME BELT IT OUT SO LOUD THAT SHE WOULD COME RUNNING TO HIM WHEREVER SHE WAS! HE SAT THERE WALLOWING IN HIS MISERY AND MUSING OVER KOMAL'S KAMAAL .TIRED HE DOZED OFF WITH HIS MIND CONJURING UP HER IMAGES. BUT HE WAS RUDELY AWAKENED BY AN UPROAR. HE STARTED OUT OF HIS CHAIR, HIS DISJOINTED MIND MAKING NO SENSE OF HIS SURROUNDINGS WHATSOEVER. AND WHEN THE CROWD CHANTED BABA, BABA, HE SPRANG UP. STUNNED AND STILL DAZED HE PINCHED HIMSELF AND YELPED IN PAIN. SO HE WAS NOT DREAMING WAS HE? HE TOO JOINED THE CROWD CHANTING BABA, BABA.
WOW, WOW!!SO, BABA MAHADEV WAS HERE! WOW..HOW.. WAS HE ATTENDING THE PARTY TOO? BUT WHY HAD THEY INVITED THE SPIRITUAL GURU TO THE BASH? MAY BE THE CVS WERE TRYING TO BRING HIM ON TO THE SHOW AS A PREACHER. GOD FORBID,THEY ALREADY HAD PREACHER PRATIGYA DOING A GREAT JOB GIVING SERMONS LEFT, RIGHT AND CENTER WITH OCCASIONAL HELP FROM HER PAPA SAXON! AND BECAUSE OF WHICH THE VIEWERS WERE ALLERGIC TO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING BEGINNING WITH PR. MAYBE THEY COULD GIVE DEVI PRATIGYA A REST. WHAT A REFRESHING THOUGHT. BUT THERE WAS A HITCH, THOUGH. EVEN IF THE CVS AGREED, PRATS WOULD NOT GIVE UP HER LOFTY STATURE, FOR SERMONS WERE HER SUSTENANCE AND IDENTITY! JAI HO MAI!
ANOTHER SLY THOUGHT ENTERED HIS MIND AND HE SNIGGERED AT ITS ABSURDITY. BUT,WAIT.. OH GOD, HOW STUPID OF HIM ! HE AND HIS BAIL BUDHDHI! OF COURSE, THAT COULD BE THE PLAN OF THE CVS! MAY BE HE WAS BEING CAST AS ANOTHER THAKUR. WHO ELSE COULD PULL OFF A THAKUR BETTER THAN MAHADEVJI. YES SIR, HE WOULD BE A NATURAL THAKUR WHAT WITH HIS ABUNDANT MANE AND BEARD. AND POOR SAJJAN SINGH WOULD BE LEFT LOOKING LIKE AN ADOLESCENT BOY WHO HAD JUST POPPED UP HIS FACIAL HAIR GREAT, THE FALLING AND FAILING TRPS WOULD SHOOT UP TO THE SKIES!! OOH LALA OOH LALALA!
HE FORGOT ALL ABOUT KOMALIYA AND 'THU CHUPI HAIN KAHAAN', AND RUSHED AHEAD TO HAVE A DARSHAN OF THE BABA.
HE CAME TO A HALT AS HE SAW A HUGE GATHERING OF YOUNG WOMEN WHO WERE STANDING THERE ALL GONE GAGA AND WERE GAWKING AT SOMEBODY NOT VISIBLE TO HIM, BECAUSE HE WAS VERY FARAWAY FROM THE CENTER STAGE.
WHO ELSE OTHER THAN GURUBABA, HE THOUGHT. OF COURSE, HE KNEW THAT LOOK AND FEELING, WHEN YOUNG WOMEN LOOKED AT GURU BABA. NO..NO.. EWEWWE.. NO.. ALWAYS READY TO PRESUME! WELL SEE, WHENEVER YOUNG WOMEN LOOKED AT BABA, THEIR FIRST FEELING WAS ONE OF JEALOUSY. YES SIR! JEALOUSY AT HIS LONG DARK LUSTROUS TRESSES BECAUSE WHATEVER THEY ATE , WASHED THEIR HAIR WITH, THEY COULD NEVER DREAM OF A MANE LIKE THE ONE G BABA HAD!! THEN THEY WERE JEALOUS OF HIS BEARD TOO, BECAUSE HE HAD MUCH MORE HAIR ON HIS FACE THAN THEY HAD ON THEIR HEADS!
KP SHOOK HIS HEAD AT THE CROWD AND TRIED TO JOSTLE PAST. NO, THEY DID NOT BUDGE EVEN AN INCH. HE SUPPOSED THAT IF HE WISHED FOR A DARSHAN OF GURUBABA THEN HE HAD TO CLIMB OVER THESE STARECASES OR DANCE AROUND ALL THOSE LADY GAGAS TO REACH HIM!
KP WAS IN A FIX AND TURNED TO THE PERSON NEXT TO HIM AND CHANTING BABA,BABA, AND ASKED HIM...
