Ab hoti hain yahan shadiyan aisa kabhi nahin hua
ROA aur CG jaisa ab tak paida bhi koi nahin hua
har taraf hai dhoom serena ki aisa writer toh koi bhi na hua

Khaty Bhai - May your soul rest in peace
Ah if we wanted to know a person who truly believed in practising what he preached or followed dharma as it should be applied with wisdom and gentleness then Khaty Bhai was the one.
Dear friends, brothers and sisters,
Several persons who have known Khaty Bhai want to say something about him and have asked me to open a thread on this.
Kindly feel free to express yourselves in this Chat Club Thread about one such person.
I first knew Khaty Bhai in the Saregampa 2007 days when he was using the name Jojo then. He was working doubly hard in a Finance Manager post in Edmonton. He introduced himself to me and we started chatting on MSN Messenger. He was a super worker and easily got bored after finishing his works. If on any day I did not appear he would message "Kahan ho yaar ?"
He loved music especially ghazals as he was a great tabla player and also a Urdu/Hindi shayari writer. Words would come out naturally and he always made a point to explain the difficult Urdu words in a glossary. He hated controversies on the thread and people arguing over nothing or quarelling and creating problems; sometimes he would ask me to pm the individual and at times he would use his most famous lines "Let me handle this" or "I will fix him". He would say I was too nice to the trouble makers and only encouraging them. Sometimes he advised "just ignore those nonsensical topics and threads" such as India and Pakistan or other political controversies. He wanted peace all round.
But most times it was his shayaris that entertained us and he would sometimes ask my opinion on what he wrote; that that was a joke as I myself had to ask him to explain its meaning. As usual he was as patient as Job. Though he never spoke much of religion he was a true Muslim who believed in the oneness of God and goodness.
Explaining to me about ghazals he introduced Mehdi Hassan, Noor Jehan, Ustad Amanat Ali and his sons and students, Nusarat Fateh Ali Khan, and so many great ghazal artists. He used to attend Mehfils too and would sometimes play the tabla there, but he found the places rather smokey. He himself was averse to any drinks or liquor of any type.
Over 2 years back he once told me that he was very happy and I asked him why.
He said that he had got a new job and it meant greater responsibility. But soon after working there for a few months he was admitted to the hospital with some breathing problems. Here was where the problem started and he underwent an open heart surgery, they did a bypass.
Surgery seemed successful but in less than 6 months he was in and out of the hospital due to him not being fully fit.
Still during this period he was sporting enough to take part in IF competitions or be bakra for the MOTW. I knew he was not in the best of health and often offered to help him in answering the questions. Once we were both in the some online competition set by NF, my god he was in a terrible state of health then, so I had to help him with his set first and then do my own too. But it was fun and he did do a few himself too. he always risked his own health for various projects and friends.
(Much later his brother complained to me that Khaty Bhai was always risking his health not realizing how much pain and suffering his own family has to go through).
One of the best pieces he wrote at this time was:
"Khatarnak maiden chodke bhagtey nahi...."
It is lovely to be able to remember everything in full detail and to me it seems that he is always with me and I keep hearing his advise all the time. Personally I have never met him and yet it feels I have known him for ages. He too knew me well and could read me like a book and ask me to stay away from certain troublemongers; later sometimes he would say "Sorry I am a bit too harsh"
I shall write more about him again for like the Ramayana his story is very long.
