Mera Radio sirf bolein Himesh

Sakshi on her way to work, driving as always thru busy Mumbai traffic. The only thing that keeps a little-bit insane is her radio. She switches it on, the minute she starts on the ignition.

And today was no exception. However, the weirdness or coincidence could not be ignored.

Favorite Station 1:

“Jhalak dikhlaja

ek baar aaja aaja aaja aaja aaja

(deedar ko tarse akhiyan

na din guzare, na kate ratiyan)

jhalak dikhlaja, jhalak dikhlaja

ek baar aaja aaja aaja aaja aaja

karta rehta hoon main bas teri hi baatein

aksar yaad aati hain teri mulaqaatein

tere ishq ko paana mera pagalpann hai

tere ehsaason mein doobi har dhadkan hai

jhalak dikhlaja, jhalak dikhlaja”

Too much of ‘jhalak’ getting on her nerves, she decides to switch on to another station.

Favorite Station 2:

“Tum jism mein

tum jaan mein

tum nazar mein

tum jigar mein

utar gaye

humko deewana deewana kar gaye

humko deewana – humko deewana humko deewana

deewana kar gaye”

The nasal ‘tum’ was way too heavy on old nearly ripped off speakers; she had no choice but the switch the channel again.

Not a favorite, but chalega type Radio Station:

“Aapki kashish sarfarosh hai

aapka nasha yuhn madhosh hai

kya kahen tumse jaanejaan

gum hua hosh hai, gum hua hosh hai

aapki kashish sarfarosh hai”

Now she is literally screaming in her head, “Yeh mera sath nahi ho sakta” and yet again she switches on to another station.

Totally Faltoo Station – But in her current scenario beggars can’t be choosers.

“Tujhme basi hai meri duniya

tujhme rawaa hai meri khushiya

tujhse ummeden mujhko badi

todd na dena dil ki kadi

iss dard ka ehsaas puchho na

puchho na puchho na puchho na puchho na

puchho na sanam

mere armaan mere lamhe mere nagme

tera tera tera suroor”

Now nearly on the verge of collapsing (do not try this while driving, can be injurious to health), she turns to her good old reliable National Radio.

Rainbow Ki Dhun – You can always trust, but not today.

RJ 1 talking to RJ2: “Himeashji ki jitney bhi tarif karen who kam hai, hai na? Bass har jagahe woh hi sunayii dete hai”.

RJ2 talking to RJ1: “Ek hi time per, itne sare chart blockbusters, kai manage kar rahe hai who, it’s totally amazing”.

RJ2 to the listeners: “Don’t you guys think he is a total Rockstar? Humeh phone kar key a SMS kar ke bataye apka favorite Himeshji’s song”.

Sakshi flaring her nostrils in anger turns to her otherwise faithful stereo system and chucks it out of its fixed home and flings it over to the back seat.

Now it just her and herself alone in the car and she was still good 20 minutes away from her destination. With no other choice left, she decides to sing herself.

In a screeching and extremely annoying voice, she starts….

“Aashiq banaya aashiq banaya aashiq banaya aashiq banaya aapne

tere bina sooni sooni hain baahein

tere bin pyaasi pyaasi nighaahein

tere bin bin asar meri aahein

tere bin tere bin

aashiq banaya aashiq banaya aashiq banaya aashiq banaya aapn”e.
