Bachpan ke khel - 3

My Sister's addition to Bachpan ke khel:

Bahut maja aaya padhne me. Sachmuch bachpan me pahuch gaye the. Kitne achche the wo din. Tumhari memory bhi kamal ki hai itni chije yad kaise aa gayi. Hope kai din lage honge sabko sanjone me. Jo bhi hai good job. Jab se padhe hain to jo chijein chhoot gayi hain unhe yad karne ki koshis kar rahe hain. Kuch khel to yaad bhi aaye hai jaise:

1. Rang rang - rang rang rang tujhe kon si pasand bolo kaisa rang. kuchh yaad aaya . raja ke bataye rang ko pakarna hota tha nahi to pakre jate the.

2. Sikkar - jisme pakre gaye log kari me jurte jaate the.

3. Chor sipahi - jisme do group hota tha ek choro ka ur dusra sipahiyon ka. Tum ur niraj leader hua karte the aur hum sab tumhare subordinates hawaldar ya phir chota chor. Kagaj ki dunali banduk yad hai jo sirf tumhe hi aati thi banani.

Baris ke dino ke hamare indoor games

4. Kona kona - hamara baraamda (verandah) kitna perfect tha is game ke liye, kona kona kaun kona? anshu kona haaaa.........

5. Chor sipahi raja mantra - Yeh to yaad hi hoga

6. Panch gotiya - Paanch patthar ki gotiyon aur ungliyon-hatheli ka khel. Ladkiyaan acchha khelati thin, ladke nahin kar paate the woh sab.

(Shilpa Bhardwaj's addition: Tumhara blog Dekha Anshul, Bada pyara hai. What about "Gitte"? Wo jo 5 gitte khelte hain, ucchaal ke pakadte hain? Yaad hai?)

7. Aur wo benaam khel jo lichi ke beejon se khelate the hum.

Bachpan ke khel - 2

KUCHH KHEL BACHPAN KE:

1. Aais paais / Dhappa - sau ki ginti tak sab bachhon ke chhupane ka intezaar, phir khoj, dikh jaane pe aais-paais, peeche se koi bacchha peeth pe haule se 'dhappa' kahe to phir se chor.

2. Denga-paani - Denga pe dono paanv to surakhshit, paani mein khatra. Agar chor ne paani mein chhoo diya to aap chor

3. Vish-amrit - baaith gaye to bach gaye. Khade hue aur chor ne chhoo diya to aap chor. Aap baithe hue se khade tabhi ho sakte hain jab koi aapko amrit de (sar pe dheeme se chhooke).

4. Ghar- ghar, Mummy-papa - Domesticity in childhood

5. Budhiya kabaddi/ langadi kabbadi – kabbaddi, when you are allowed only on one leg

6. Nua-ghariya/ Kit-kit – played with a small clay-goti, on floor or ground. You have to cross few intercrossing lines without stepping on them.

7. Pitto / bum-pastic – Pitto is played with clay-goti and ball. You have to unstuck the gotis with ball, and restack them before opposition hits you with the ball again.

8. chidiya-ud-kauwa-ud-gaay-ud-pakde gaye-out – self explanatory with exapmle. Put your finger on table, raise only if the object being spelt out can actually fly. Otherwise, you are out.

9. statue – The classical game…… sab jaante hain na.

10. dash-kosh-single-bulbul-master – Main bhool gaya ki kaise khelate the. Bas ye paanch shabd yaad hain.

Aur bhi yaad aayega, to batore laaoonga yahan.

Bachpan ke khel

Bachpan khelon mein guzra. Masoom khel, bina taam jhaam wale khel..... Saabhaar un 'unsung creators' ko jinhone mere bachpan ke kitne pyaare pyaare pal mujhe diye.... Thanks to all such poets.

Neeche kuchh yaadein sameti hain maine. Padhiye aur bataiye kuchh yaad aa raha hai ya bhool gaye sab.

1. Motu seth sadak pe late
Gaadi aayi Phat gaya pate
Gaadi ka numbertwenty eight
gaadi pahunchi India gate
India gate mein the sipahi
motuseth ki hui pitaai

2. Poshampa bhai poshampa
Daakiye ne kya kiya
100 rupaye ki ghadi churayi
50 rupaye ki rabdi khayi
Ab to jail mein jaana padega
jail ki roti khani padegi
jail ka paani peena padega
-ek-do-teen-

3. Machhali jal ki raani hai
jeevan iska paani hai
Haath lagao darr jayegi
Bahar nikaalo mar jayegi

4. mama mama bhookh lagi
kha le beta moong phali
Moongphali mein daana nahin
hum tumhare mama nahin.

5. phholmati- phoolmati, Khol de kiwaad
Saaton bhaiyaDu-a-re thhaar

Phoolmati- phoolmati, na khol kiwaad
Dusht rak-chhasDu-a-re thhaar

6. Jhooth bolna paap hai
nadi kinare saanp hai

7. aaj somvar hai, chuhe ko bukhar hai
chuha gaya doctor ke pass,
doctor ne lagayi sui, chula bola oiii

8. aalu-kachalu beta kaha gaye the
bandar ki jhopdi mein so rahe the
bandar ne laat maari ro rahe the
mummy ne paisa diya has rahe the
Baba ne daant lagaayi ro rahe the
Papa ne laddoo diya ga rahe the

9. titlee udi, ud ke chali
phool ne kaha
aaja mere paas
titli kahe
main chali aakas

10. chanda mama door ke
puye pakaye gud ke
aap khaye thali mein
munne ko de pyali mein
munna gaya rooth
thaali gayi phhoot

11. Akkad-bakkad bambe-bo
Assi nabbe poore sau
Sau mein laga taaga
Chor nikal ke bhaaga

12. Atkan chatkan dahi chatakan
............... (kya hai yahan pe, yaad nahin aa raha)
bar phule barela phule
saawan mein karela phule

13. Okka bokka teen talokka
Laau laathi chandan kaathi
chandana ke naam ka
Puchuk- (sound produced when you hit your blown up cheek)

14. Baithe baithe kya karoge
karna hai kuchh kaam
Shuru karo antakhshari
leke hari ka naam

15. ekai ke chakdum
makai ke laawa
ek laawa ghat ge-e-l
bachwa ulat ge-e-l

Aur yaad aaya to likhunga.

Rajnish Pankaj is no more !

The first time I met him, he was in his second year (2006) at IRMA. I was visiting campus after a gap of one year and went to see my rooms. I lived in my first year in Block F- Room No. 34 (F-34) and in second year at F-28. Co-incidentally heoccupied both rooms in similar fashion. We connected, instantly.

.

Having qualified as Company Secretary and taken Chartered Accountancy tillmid-course, at the age of 23 he got interested in management education. Hejoined IRMA by selecting it over other management institutes. He said in one of his meetings with me, "IRMA is quite in fit with my nature and outlook".What he meant was, perhaps, his amiable nature, his attitude towards
his unassuming attitude towards life. He was finance whiz-kid of his batch, a good teacher for pre-exam awakers, and a die hard IRMA-mess regular.

.

Last time we met was during MILAAP (Jan 2007). He was then with ICICI Bank at Mumbai. As was usual for someone who felt strongly for IRMA, he took leave and attended the program all throughout. He was looking after risk management in ICICI bank, and shared with me what and how he plans to improve the risk modeling of assets in the Bank. He formed part of the risk team there with another IRMAn (Sreekanth from PRM21) and was doing quite well.

.

He had a small built, but was quite energetic. I, for all interactions I had with him, never had any reason to doubt his health. So, when Mathuranand (PRM25 and my colleague) broke the sad news, I thought he is mistaking the identity. I wish I was correct.

.

It is difficult to believe that he is gone; not because he was dear one, but because the way it happened is so unbelievable. I have read he was checked at the airport and was cleared for boarding by the medical team there. Post-mortem has not revealed any further. Was there anything that we could have done to avoid what happened! I have no clue.

.

My ears ring with his parting remarks at Milaap, "My train leaves few hours early. No problems. We will meet again soon. Bye" Alas, that never happened. His train has left quite early. May his soul rest in peace.

Jagjit, Bhades-ism and Saturday evening

Its really after a very long time that I am relaxing on a saturday evening, alone, with Jagjit's ghazal playing in background.......

Gaanth Agar lag jaaye to phir, rishte ho ya dor
Laakh karein koshish khulane mein waqt to lagta hai

Don't be surprised, I am in office..... but no body else is. The last man left around an hour ago. My home is hardly 10 minutes from here, and no body is there waiting. So, I give a hoot to where I am. Its an amazing feeling to listen and relive best days of my life (rings: hotel california.....)

Gulshan ki faqat phoolon se nahin kaanton se jeenat hoti hai
Jeene ke liye is duniya mein gham ki bhi zarurat hoti hai

Ai waiz-e-nadaan karta hai tu ek kayamat ka charcha
Yahan roz nigahein milti hain yahan roz kamayat hoti hai

Rajan se shaam ko baat ho rahi thi. Wo bhi acche mood mein tha. Humne apni bhojpuri-vajjika ke shabd-saamrtya ko tatola aur flying colours se pass hue. Some examples:

Anthiyana (ignore), bitta (measure of finger-length), dhanmanana (unstable walking), kankanaana (shiver), chharapana (to climb over a wall), chhardewali (boundary-wall), ballu-ballu (you know), belchatta (bald), dharkna (to flow, to come down), bila jana (to get lost), dhahat-dhimlhat (getting ok, somehow), tagharna (when drops come one by one) ....... chalo, baaki ke kabhi alag se post karunga.....

Abhi ke liye itna hi. Meri pasandida gazal aa rahi. Don't want disturbance.

Koi dost hai na rakeeb hai
Tera shaher kitna ajeeb hai

Main kise kahoon mere saath chal
Yahan sabke sar pe saleeb hai

Yahan kiska chehara padha karun
Yahan kaun itna kareeb hai......

Meaning in English:

No friend for me, no enemy
Your city is stranger to me

Whom to ask to walk along
everybody's head Cross is on

faces tell no story, or writing is so fine
I can't read, they are so alien
