Day 352

Another day of serious fun and enjoyment – what with a perfect mix of like-minded people and fabulous weather, rivaling that of any hill station. At this rate, we do not really need to go to Lonavala. As Sunita Jajodia keeps saying, “We might as well celebrate Lonavala here in Mumbai.”
Kishor Babani’s mobile phone music, with its funky foot-tapping re-mix of vintage Hindi tracks, set the mood for the morning. From Mera Joota Hai Japani to Mere Mehboob Qayamat Hogi and Khija Ke Phool Mein Aati Bahaar Nahin to Bol Radha Bol Sangam, he played an eclectic assortment that was at once entertaining and amusing. When asked where those numbers were downloaded from, he mentioned a site called ‘PK’. “Pee ke nahin, PK se,” he clarified, suggesting that he was fully sober while downloading the music.
The high point of the morning though, was Harish Wadhwa’s impromptu singing (pic right). In the course of his jokes’ narration session, Kishor had read out a hilarious parody of a mosquito (yes, mosquito) singing that popular Bollywood number from the film Murder, ‘Bheege Hoth Tere’ No sooner had the laughter subsided than Harish offered to be a mosquito and went on to actually sing the song: ‘Bheege pankh merey…’
Must say, this guy is really gifted and has a terrific voice. Perhaps he may like to share the lyrics of that parody for the benefit of readers.
HARISH WADHWA obliges:
Bheege pankh merey,
Pyasa dank mera,
Lagey amrit sa,
Mujhe khoon tera.
Kabhi merey saath, Koi raat guzaar,
Tujhe subah tak mein, Doon dengue bukhar...
Ho Ho Ho!!!
Well, Kishor-bhai, you are the King of Jokes for us. If being a woman is "shakti" then being a man is "sehen shakti". How true. Kya baat hai! "Library mein aag" was something which kept the smile lingering for hours. How creative are people in Badmaash Company. Sorry, you have to be a part of it to know more.
Says RENU BABANI:
Looks like it was a fun-filled morning, but my laziness got the better of me. Yes, Badmash Company has lived up to its name and ensures that all have a good laugh too. No matter what anyone says, lets hope the Lonavala trip does materialise. After all, how can you compare going there to Mumbai? The change in atmosphere will do us all some good and of course, refresh us too. We shall have loads to talk about when we return from the trip. So, once our principal, Mr Shekawat returns, let us see what happens. Meanwhile, let us definitely support one another to go on the trip.
