The news that Thakore Sajjan Singh had gotten back his Haveli had caught on like wild fire in TVNAGAR. And the people were amazed that KN had been excused, lock, stock and barrel! Sri Gangaram Misra, Chief of the famous channel ' TVNAGAR ki RRKK( roz roz ki kahani)', was jumping around with excitement and ready for an interview with his cameramen in tow. He had inside knowledge that the bahurias of TN had played the major role in the game and the mardan log, just second fiddle to them. This was unheard of in a place like TVNAGAR, which prided itself in its largest collection of meek and yes sasumaa, bahus. So Misraji had phoned Sajjan singh and told him he wished for an interview of PratigyaKST and KesarSS, and if they wanted, SS, SS and KST could also join them!
When Baba came to know about this, he thumped his foot down stoutly and raised a rubble, daring anyone to even catch a glimpse of his Babu, let alone talk to her. He angrily remembered how , at an event crowning her 'Veer Nari of TVNAGAR' , the enchanted press had written that she gurgled like a child when she laughed ( sahi, she did that everytime he tickled her) And thus unknowingly, had stepped on very unfriendly toe of Baba. You see, our Krisna Baba has 2 great passions in life; his phavorite Babu and '. No , his and only his very own Babu and his phavrite sweets roshgolla and gulab jamoon. But on Holi day last year, that lecher Radhe had praised that Babu had roshgolla like gaal and impudently trespassed into Baba's domain. After that fiasco with Radhe, Baba had stopped eating rosgollas altogether, cursing Radhe to hell. Now he was afraid, what if these news men revealed that Babu's gaal was like Gulaab Jamoon , should he give up on GJamoons too? No, never! What did they take him for , a Lalloo? No one was going to steal him of his favorite sweets, and that too for Sakthiya's sake! So BPKST, BKST and KSS vanished from the scene, leaving behind,THE PAAPI AND THE SAJJAN. The excerpts of the interview:
RRKK: (to Sajjan Singh, who looks like a sadhu, wearing a saffron kurta, a shawl and a rudraksh mala around his neck, his face serene, vairagya/dispassion oozing from every hair in his beard) First, one small question. SSJi, how come, being so worldlywise, you got conned by a woman like Menka? ( SS: Kaa Karen, Misraji, they told they were very very Khandaani and Sanskaari. Who knew, what the words meant in their dictionary!) You are a mahaan man to have forgiven an erring son,who has sinned so much (glaring at KN), god,how could you forgive his shameless deed? {SS: ( gnashing his teeth)See, Misraji, I wanted to cut off his hands and throw him to the streets. But then Guruma advised me 'you are a son of Allahabad, jis pradesh mein Ganga behti hain. Ganga Mata has cleansed and forgiven so many sins and sinners. So, if KN repents, just break a leg or two, and whatever else your anger permits, but forgive him. WHO KNOWS THERE MAY BE A SANT IN KN TOO'. Look at him , he looks so pure, SANT SHAKTI SINGH with all the bad purged from him( looks lovingly and proudly at KN sitting there dressed in the purest white kurta and a shawl over it, his hair neatly cut, well oiled and his hands and arms in bandages, looking like a little kid , falsely caught stealing sweets from the kitchen, and whacked black and blue for the act)} RRKK to KN: SSSji, do you now think about Menkarani at all? {KN aka SSSji: oh yaar, her nakhras and nautankis( ss glares at him)no, what I mean is'ouye maa, I am very much in pain, Bauji tum hi bol diyo yaar ) (SS: her proclamation that she is a Sanskaari, turned out to be true, because she made KN realize the folly of running behind every.. erm.. you know! Otherwise he would never be making eyes at Kesar, and reeling off Besoor songs in his 'bail like awaaz'. So you see how the Benarasiwaali has brought wisdom and tranquility to our Allahabadi TN!! ) The channel people who were hanging on to his every word ' chanted in unison, ' HAIL SADHU SAJJAN SINGH, HAIL SANT SAKTI SINGH'.
PS: Hope no sentiments are hurt.
