First rank aayega to ...

Bachpan ki yaado ko koi bhula nahi sakta. Jab hum paida hue, rote hue. Maa ko dekha, Papa ko dekha, apne rishtedaaro ko dekha .. Kuch log darte the hume apni god me lene ko ki kahi sussu na kar de, aur kuch log din bhar humein lekar ghumne ko bhi tayyar rahte the .. Tab no tension, bahut saare khilone, jo chaho karo, jaha chaho chillao, rone lag jaao, khilkhilaao .. Chalna seekha, Daudna seekha ..Aur tabhi hua ek disaster .. SCHOOLS ...

School time was the tough time (initially). To be away from home, sitting together with other kids, following what our teacher used to order and repeat this again and again .. "A for .. Apple , B for ... Baby, C for ... Cat ...... "

I am still in doubt, whether I learnt "ABC" first or "a, aa, i, ee (hindi)". Whatever, its not related to this post , mein to aise hi bhawnao me bah gaya tha .. kabhi baad me detail me yeh topic chedunga..

haan, to masla yeh hai ki .. schools me exams bhi hote the, aur kiske maa-baap yeh nahi chahte ki woh achche numbers laaye, aur apni class me top kare ... ab padhai humne ki ho ya nahi , woh hume jaroor motivate karte rahe .. Sabse bada motivation hota tha "If you get first rank, then you will get a bicycle better than what bagal-wala Sonu has" .. Laalach bhi itna bada wala hota tha ki bachcha sochne ko majboor ho jaaye ki "First rank" sharafar se laani hai ya jakar paper chori kiya jaaye (yeh wala idea future kids ko jaroor aayega, hume to college me jakar aaya tha) ..

Well .. me, my bro and my mamoo .. tikdi used to meet every summer/winter holidays and had cool time together .. We talk in Marwari at our homes .. I don't know what year it was, but "Jaan tere naam" movie was released that time and one song "First time dekha to hum kho gaya, second time me love ho gaya" was a hit ..

We were talking about the examination results and listening to this song .. and we got an idea .. we composed a song together .. and the lyrics is like this...

"First Rank aayega to cycle doonga,
Second rank aayega to ghadi doongh ,

Yeh aakhaa india jaanta hai , Padhna jaroori hai ..
Padhoge nahi to fail ho jaaoge
Fail ho jaaoge to thappad khaaoge
Thappad khaoge to rone lag jaaoge
rone lag jaaoge to dooja thappad khaoge
dooja thappad khaoge to machchak machchak karoge
....
"

(English: You will get bicycle if you get first rank , a watch if you get second .. Whole India knows that study is very important and if you don't study you will fail .. and if you fail, you will get a slap .. if you get slap then you will cry .. and if you will cry , you might get another slap .. if you get another slap then you will make such face that will show that you are not crying but actually you will cry from inside .. lol, sorry i cudn't find a proper word for that)

I don't remember whole .. but basic idea behind this to just imaging what worst can happen if we get failed...

Phir teri kahani yaad aayi ...

"Tere dar par sanam , chale aaye .. 

Tu na aaya to hum chale aaye .. "



This song hit my ears yesterday evening.  I stood there still listening to this song watching the rain pouring outside.  Had a cup of tea in my hand and I don't know when my mind digging old memories.

I can't exactly recall which year was it ..but we had board exams , so it cud be year of 1996-97.  Cable TV was introduced in my town, One of our neighbour (Joshi uncle) came with a free cable connection offer at our home. My papa resisted because I and my brother both had Board exams that year, but he didn't listen. He told us to watch the free cable for some months and get it disconnected whenever we wanted.

There were some 12-15 channels including Zee Tv and Zee Cinema. It was like a blessing after watching the classic dance shows and 7-colors strips on Doordarshan.  We used to come to home from office and watch the Cable all day..  Very soon, we got addicted to "DISH" (Cable is called by this name still) ..

When my father realized that we are diverting from the study, he told joshi uncle to disconnect the cable. It was like "pahaad hi toot pada ho" , we started acting like, "we are studying papa, you go and watch the cable.. but don't get it disconnected" .. 

Zee TV started showing trailer of "Phir teri kahani yaad aayi". Its mahesh bhatt's movie starring Pooja bhatt and Rahul Roy.  This was a movie from Zee's own movie house and they were showing the premier of that movie after 2 weeks on Zee TV. 

It was quite fascinating to watch a movie on the day of its release. Zee Tv broadcasted its song whenever it got a free space in the channel schedule.

"Aane wala pal ek sapna hai ..

Gujra hua kal to apna hai ..

Hum gujra kal me rahte ha ..

Yaadoo ke sab jugnu jungle me rahte ahi .. "

I didn't realized when I sipped the last sip of my tea.  The song was still playing ..

"Mein gazal ban gayi aapke saamne ..

Shauk se ab mujhe gunguna lijiye ..

Shayarana si hai zindagi ki sada ..

Aap bhi zindagi ka mazaa liziye .."

This movie was based on Mahesh bhatt's own life .. (somebody says so) , But who cares, we watched it after studying for some 6 hours continously and after convincing papa ..  it was a short movie of 2 hrs with excellent songs.

The movie songs are awesome,  and the lyrics are very touching ..

Check out my playlist to see the videos..
Music Videos of "Phir teri kahani yaad aayi"

My personal favourite song is "Tere dar par sanam" .. Its not something which you listen a lot and then forget it when you hear some other song .. Some of my childhood memories are linked with the songs of this movie and It will always be cherishing those memories with these songs...
