1. Tiny Tales.

The couple would daily pray for a girl when the wife conceived. It was a girl. In a fortnight, they visited a shelter home for abandoned kids and adopted one infant boy. They didn’t bring him home but took care of all his expenses.

Once he finished his education, he had to move out from the shelter home. Since he had started working, he shifted to a rented apartment.

Husband and Wife reached out to him with a proposal to marry their daughter.

They initiate a warm talk where B tells A that I have heard a lot about you.

5. Europe - Ek Saal.

Ek saal pehle shuru hua,
Europe ka haseen safar,
Kai ummedein thi mann me,
Jab chhod rahe the ghar...

Anjaan log, naye sheher,
Kise pata tha kaisi hogi dagar,
Dheere dheere honi lagi baatein,
Jinse pehle mili thi sirf nazar...

Bus me shuru hota tha din,
Prabhu bhakti aur prarthana sabhar,
Phir tarah tarah ke nazaaron ka darshan,
Karte rehte hum sab din dopahar...

Swadisht desi khaane ka luft,
Issey kya ho sakta hai behtar,
Sadak kinaare baith jaate kabhi,
Yaaron ke sang coffee lekar...

Raat me karte the mauj masti,
Thakaan nahi hoti thi itna ghumkar,
Shubh raatri ek dusre ko kehte, 
Ant me pahuchte apne bistar...

Keval 17 dino me hua kamaal,
Bane naye mitra, dekhe kai manzar,
Aakhir wo din aa gaya jab laut aaye Mumbai,
Aage badhe Sabko Phir milege kehkar...

Lekin Kahani abhi baaki hai,
Aise thodi hum jaate bikhar,
Naye mitra ab ho gaye hai pakke yaar,
Khub mazey karege jab tak sambhaale Ishwar.

4. Dreamgirl... Local...

Tune: Dreamgirl... Kisi Shayar ki Ghazal... Dreamgirl...

लोकल... लोकल... लोकल...
मोदीजी की ग़ज़ल... लोकल...
हो जाओ सब वोकल... लोकल...

पास मिलेगी, दूर नहीं जाना...
आज नहीं और कल...
लोकल... लोकल...

पैकेज दिया बढ़ाके,
छप्पन का सीना चढ़ाके,
ख्वाब दिखाया ऐसा,
फुले नहीं समाते...
करेंगे सपने सफल...
कौन?...
लोकल... लोकल...
मोदीजी की ग़ज़ल..लोकल....
लोकल... लोकल...

3. Mother.

One day God Thought,
He wouldn't be able to care for all,
So he created Mom,
To nurture you during Summer Winter Spring & Fall...

She welcomed you to her world,
Only to realize, you turned out to be a world for her,
Pampered you with milk and meals,
Despite herself being deprived of Bread & Butter...

She got you a beautiful cart,
On which she could ride you around,
She looked after your needs and wants,
On you, spent the last pound...

She donned you in beautiful clothes & shoes,
Got you lovely toys to play,
Seeing happiness on your face,
Just made her each day...

She chose a great school,
For you to study and progress,
Wanted your career & future bright,
Didn't care about her own mess...

She made you bright and capable,
Your Life is now bigger than this Rhyme,
She doesn't want a payback,
Just a little love and some time !!!

2. Time.

Money would keep increasing,
Investments will soar,
Savings shall mount,
Assets could grow more...

All at the cost of something,
That can turn billion into a dime,
It will all vanish,
Not even a matter of time..


The below 4 lines by Kirtan...

Life is forward moving,
And so is time
Neither ever go back,
And that completes this rhyme..

The following lines by Riddhi...

We are born with a roar,
Some leads their life to whole,
And some leads to no where...
Either you do it or not.

All investment of life goes in vain,
All vanishes as air and whatever created is at stake!

Once again you become one with soil...

1. एक.

एक ख़ुशी ने
मिटा दिए ग़म
एक मधुर वचन ने
किया कठोर को नरम
एक प्यार भरी नज़र ने
की नफरत ख़तम
एक चाबी ने
तोडा बेड़ी का जुलम
एक बीज ने
दिया पेड़ को जनम
एक मकसद ने
बनाया पामर को परम

7. Irrfan.


A tribute

सलाम बॉम्बे कहते हुए आये थे साहबज़ादे
बॉम्बे को कर दिया सलाम, छूट गए कुछ वादे

सब कुछ कर लिया था हासिल?, पलक झपकते चल दिए
बनेगी अपनी बात, यह कहते रहे फिर भी निकल लिए

लाइफ इन ए मेट्रो को जल्द ही बोल दिया थैंक यु
कुछ कसूर, कुछ गुनाह, अधूरे है बिल्लू

पान सिंह तोमर की दौड़ में काफी थी रफ़्तार
किसे पता था, इतनी तेज़ चलेगी, ये साली ज़िन्दगी पर तलवार

फुटपाथ पर चल पड़ा था अकेला, कारवाँ बन गया
मानो या ना मानो, वो ब्लैकमेल कर गया

लेकिन नॉक-आउट कर दे ऐसा हुआ ज़ालिम रोग
वरना D-Day का ना होता इतना जल्दी योग

राइट या रॉंग की मुझे नहीं है समझ बिलकुल
मदारी का यूँ लंचबॉक्स छोड़ देना इस स्लमडॉग को नहीं मकबूल   

There are 21 movies and 2 serials in this poem1 सलाम बॉम्बे
2 हासिल?
3 कसूर
4 बिल्लू
5 ये साली ज़िन्दगी
6 फुटपाथ

10 The लंचबॉक्स
11 मकबूल
12 लाइफ इन ए मेट्रो

15 पान सिंह तोमर
16 तलवार
