What happens if a parent has a petulant, confused child, who is given to throwing tantrums before guests. The parents would be embarrassed, but the guests may comfort them: what a lovely child! But if the child displays aggressive behaviour – unless you give him his chocolate or allow him to watch YouTube videos, he would not eat, and starts breaking things, you might refer to books on parenting, and come across technical terms like ADHD. But what if the child is 79 plus, Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful army in the world, and has the power to destroy the world many times over? You start worrying. Because the doctors do not use the term ADHD for a 79-year old, going to be 80.
The readers of this blog are very kind-hearted. Mahesh Joshi says, “As far as the current world situation is concerned – Jaane do yaar, apna kuchh chalega nahin. Let us just take solace in our world of beautiful music and, at least for a little while, forget that the world is ruled by idiots – no offence intended to idiots.” I have been doing this precisely so far, but the war is now into the fifth week.
We all thought that the war has ended, and the parties have started talking to each other. It is never so simple with the confused, petulant, 80-year old child. For the last few days, he has been going through paroxysm of flip-flops. The Parties to the conflict destroyed the global economic assets. When it started to hit the US too, he was looking for any escape route. He had started declaring he had won big and now there were no targets left to hit. But, soon he said he had invited many countries to send their warships, and they were on their way. When they started denying one by one, he started raving and ranting incoherently: In any case I don’t need them, I had already won big. It would be very bad future for Europe. I knew they are all cowards; without us they are nothing.
The 80-year old child had enough sense that there was something called mid-term elections and he was looking for any exit route. But his favourite ally was doing its own things, prompting the experts to say that the tail (T) was wagging the dog (D). The adversary was in no mood to give any face-saving. A wisecrack said, if you stir up hornets’ nest, it is the hornets which decide when to stop. Nevertheless, he gave an ultimatum of 48 hrs, you do this and this, else. The Hornets (H) started saying the bully had already backed off. Meanwhile the H kept on stinging the tail (T). It was getting quite embarrassing, but the D kept ignoring the H’s sting on the Tail (T), and anyway announced a 5-days’ unilateral ceasefire.
Now we are into the 5th week; is the war on or off? No one knows. T is unhappy that D may abandon it and cut its own deal with the H. Instead, it wants the D to squash the H to pulp with its 100-1 superiority. There are furious talks of mediation and diplomacy. High profile people are flying into different countries and making statements. Dr Shetty and Dr Rajesh Deshpande have started celebrating too soon with their peace-time activities like quizzing.
Despite the unilateral ceasefire, the D has started talking about mounting ground operation. The H has started drooling our Army has been waiting for this moment for 40 years. The D got frightened; he sent a 15-point demands for ceasefire. The H rejected it, and said now the war will end when it wants, and sent its own 5-point demands.
H has also spawned several proxies; incidentally, they go by names starting with the letter H; the experts say they range from non-state to semi-state to state actors. But they all have a common quality, these can never be squashed. If they find the Queen Mother under attack, they come to life in more ferocious forms like Raktabeej. They have started showing the severity of their stings.
The current situation has created panic in many countries and in India. Rumours have their own dynamics. The more you try to scotch them, the more they spread like wildfire. An SOY regular says that they have been forced indoors and into working from home. How I wish the D could somehow declare victory and rush to Oslo to claim his Nobel Peace Prize! Those Commie idiots in Oslo would now understand the meaning of war and peace. But trust me, till that time I have been enjoying Bollywood songs. I can’t help if the songs sound like they are a reflection of the current times – any similarity is purely coincidental.
1. Kya se kya ho gaya bewafa tere pyar mein by Rafi from Guide (1965), lyrics Shailendra, music SD Burman
Did Dev Anand have a right to blame Waheeda Rehman entirely, or was he also responsible for his fall?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33g6dZS882Y&list=RD33g6dZS882Y&start_radio=1
2. Main aisa kyon hun, main jaisa hun main waisa kyon hun by Shaan from Lakshya (2004), lyrics Javed Akhtar, music Shankar-Ehsan-Loy
It is not unusual for a teenager to be unclear about his goal. But once spurred by his girlfriend into having a “lakshya” in life, the drifter joins the Army and becomes a Kargil-hero.
3. Idhar chala, main udhar chala by Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik from Koi Mil Gaya (2003), lyrics Ibrahim Ashq, music Rajesh Roshan
Hrithik Roshan again; he excelled in such roles. In this film he was a mentally retarded child, but a visiting alien gives him extraordinary powers. You can make out his gait and gestures are of a demented child.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQPg7ht5aHU&list=RDiQPg7ht5aHU&start_radio=1
4. Main idhar jaaun ya udhar jaaun by Rafi, Asha Bhosle, Manna Dey & Aziz Naazan from Palki (1967), lyrics Shakeel Badayuni
The man is not demented, but in deep reflection and quite morose. In this state of mind, one would be conflicted about his choices. I have included Aziz Naazan’s name; it is mentioned in HFGK as one of the singers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ys7DuVThytA&list=RDys7DuVThytA&start_radio=1
5. Main aashiq hun bahaaron ka, nazaaron ka, fizaaon ka, ishaaron ka; Main mastana musafir hun jawan dharti ke anjaane kinaaron ka by Mukesh from Aashiq (1962), lyrics Shailendra, music Shankar-Jaikishan
I have started suspecting our hero’s intentions. Next, he may start coveting Greenland, Gaza, Canada – they are so beautiful, they are mine!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1BgL-7Vh1A&list=RD-1BgL-7Vh1A&start_radio=1
6. Hu, Hu, Mast bahaaron ka main aashiq main jo chaahe yaar karun by Rafi from Farz (1967), lyrics Anand Bakhshi, music Laxikant-Pyarelal
The original James Bond had the girls swoon over him. He didn’t take much time in bedding them, but he was always on the alert for the enemy’s moll. The first Indian James Bond, Jeetendra sings Chaahe gulon ke saaye se khelun, chaahe kali se pyar karun; it sounds suspiciously like he does not care if his name figures in the Epstein Files.
7. Meri duniya lut rahi thi aur main khamosh tha by Rafi & others from Mr and Mrs 55 (1955), lyrics Majrooh Sultanpuri, music OP Nayyar
Guru Dutt must have realized he is responsible for his downfall. Therefore, he is downcast; a person incapable of looking at himself, would have started raving and ranting against the world.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJBCp5tjhOk&list=RDXJBCp5tjhOk&start_radio=1
8. Sochta hun ye kya kiya maine by Mukesh and Lata Mangeshkar from Hamari Yaad Ayegi (1961), lyrics Kidar Sharma, music Snehal Bhatnagar
You might say, Ab pachhtaaye hote kya, jab chidiya chug gayi khet; you should have thought about it earlier, Dude!
9. Akela hun is duniya mein by Rafi from Baat Ek Raat Ki (1962), lyrics Majrooh Sultanpuri, music SD Burman
Dev Anand is not the only one – many in the world are happy and chirpy in their loneliness. They are so smart that only their shadow can be their companion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wjZTdONxqc&list=RD3wjZTdONxqc&start_radio=1
10. Kabhi khud pe kabhi haalat pe rona aya by Rafi from Hum Dono (1961), lyrics Sahir Ludhiyanvi, music Jaidev
I see the same man in Army unform, now lamenting his plight.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUgSsrQOTRs&list=RDBUgSsrQOTRs&start_radio=1
11. Main samjhun jag hai deewana, deewana mujhko log kahe by Mukesh from Deewana (1967), lyrics Hasrat Jaipuri, music Shankar-Jaikishan
Raj Kapoor is quite a dunce, but it is quite normal for a crazy person to think the world is crazy.
12. Ghazab kiya tere waade pe aitbaar kiya by Rafi (Ghazal by Dagh), music Khayyam
Often, the man has betrayed the other person, he had no right to ask that person for any promises, but he sings Dagh’s ghazal, Ghazab kiya tere wade pe aitbaar kiya.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T76YNawxqMU&list=RDT76YNawxqMU&start_radio=1
13. Dost dost na raha pyar pyar na raha by Mukesh from Sangam (1964), lyrics Shailendra, music Shankar-Jaikishan
What right Raj Kapoor had to blame his dost? He was so full of himself, he had no time to understand his friend’s feelings.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DUAfX71dsw&list=RD0DUAfX71dsw&start_radio=1
14. Tum agar mujhko na chaaho to koi baat nahi, tum kisi aur ko chahogi to mushkil hogi by Mukesh from Dil Hi To Hai (1963), lyrics Sahir Ludhiyanvi, music Roshan
In this case I don’t blame Raj Kapoor. If his girl is with the charlton, Pran, he had every right to forewarn her.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdK-EaVMrXY&list=RDRdK-EaVMrXY&start_radio=1
15. Mere dushman tu meri dosti ko tarse by Rafi from Aye Din Bahar Ke (1966), lyrics Anand Bakhshi, music Laxmikant-Pyarelal
Dharmendra starts with a slow recital – Mere dil se sitamgar tune achchhi dillagi ki hai; Ke ban ke dost apne doston se dushmani ki hai. Then he fills up his nostrils and works himself up into uncontrollable anger, and heaps vilest curses – Tu phool bane patjhad ka, tujhpe bahaar na aye kabhi; Jiye tu is tarah ke tu zindagi ko tarse. I thought that the metaphor was Jiye tu is tarah ki tu maut ko tarse, but never mind it, it is enough to send terror down your spine. But if the man had a record of crying ‘wolf’ in fun, it loses its credibility.

Good Morning, hope all well health-wise.
An apt topic. You are right. The petulant man-baby has turned into a man-child of epic petulance, with his parents (ie sycophantic cabinet) full of praise for every new stupidity he displays.
In these days of google-parenting, where the newgen parents bask in the glory of their spoilt brat taking apart a restaurant, it is a crime of unimaginable proportions to say ‘no’ to the brat, just in case the precious little thug suffers lifelong psychological distress 🙂 The man-child is getting away with the same on the world stage.
How about a brief recap.
1. The man-child turns up at the door and proudly says – ‘Tere Dar Pe Aaye Hoon, Jholi Bhar Ke Jaaunga
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFVVvrrkH3Q&list=RDaFVVvrrkH3Q&start_radio=1
2. So now the other one joins in the fun – ‘Le Jaayenge Le Jaayenge Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Usn2yC8E3bk&list=RDUsn2yC8E3bk&start_radio=1
3. Even though the Sasoorji was taken out, the family is not pleased – ‘Meri Bhains Ko Danda Kyoon Mara’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv3LoNEsacU&list=RDUv3LoNEsacU&start_radio=1
4. The man-child tries bribery – ‘Sapno Ka Saudagar Aaya… Yeh Rang Berangi Sapne’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbB8t4mVr08&list=RDXbB8t4mVr08&start_radio=1
5. The bribe doesn’t work. Obvious response is – ‘Maar Diya Jaai Ke Chhod Diya Jaai’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APjCgLx8TJg&list=RDAPjCgLx8TJg&start_radio=1
And so the fire is lit and the flames spread out. All we can do is hope that the Orange-head turns round and says – Hum To Jaate Apne Gaon’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPCRO0BA6q4&list=RDPPCRO0BA6q4&start_radio=1
Dr Shetty @1,
Tremendous recall. You have hundreds of songs fitting the theme.
From you list, Jala do ise phoonk daalo ye duniya…..Ye duniya agar mil bhi jaaye to kya hai is the best describing the Hornets’ philosophy. The D and T are also contributing towards it.
Akji,
You have addressed a serious subject and situation with tact and a light touch, for which I thank you, as well as for bringing it up on this blog. However, I would like to start on a serious note and later approach it with a lighter vein—while remaining completely serious.
The global landscape in early 2026 is defined by interconnected, high-intensity crises—notably the prolonged Ukraine war and the escalating Iran-Israel conflict—that demonstrate a systemic failure of international diplomacy. It is also a highly volatile situation/ crises involving various international, national, regional and local lobbies, all interconnected, directly or indirectly. Temporary tactical reprieves, such as short-term U.S. pauses in Middle East strikes, offer no long-term resolution and instead signify a dangerous “normalization” of warfare, where geopolitical volatility holds the global economy hostage. This volatile environment is characterized by relentless attacks that test regional stability and shift political power, pointing towards a new, fragile era of perpetual crisis.
Ye mahalon, ye takhton, ye taajon ki duniya
Ye insaan ke dushman samaajon ki duniya
Ye daulat ke bhukhe rawaajon ki duniya
Ye duniya agar mil bhi jaaye to kya hai
……………………………….……………………………….
TUMHARI HAI TUM HI SAMBHALO YE DUNIYA
Ye duniya agar mil bhi jaaye to kya hai
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z6Lr0JYAro
Echoing the famous quotation-
“With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive for peace and bliss; to bind up on universal wounds.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROFJt4Eu1XU
Mahesh Joshi @2,
I am enjoying myself, as best as one can do in the situation. I guess, you and everyone are finding their own ways of maintaining sanity.
1. Tere dar pe aya hun tere, jholi bhar ke jaaunga describes the current situation perfectly. I go several steps ahead; allow him to go toOslo to get his Nobel Peace Prize.
5. Maar diya jaay ya chhod diya jaay: Very apt song for the Man-child.
Venkataraman ji @4,
Thanks a lot for your appreciation. Your serious analysis is perfect. It can be endless. So I have chosen a fluffy medium like blog. It seems many recall Jala do ise phoonk daalo ye duniya; see Dr Shetty’s comment at @1.
AK Ji,
This post reminds me of a ‘game’ we used to play in our school / college . The challenge used to be to weave a story / compose a poem using film titles or even ‘mukhadas’of songs! The songs selected here , aptly capture the moods of the various phases of the current situation. But I wonder if our ‘ Hero’ would ever mouth that lovely composition of Sneha Bhatkar – ‘ Sochata hoon ye kya kiya maine ‘!
Ak ji
It’s difficult to make a light hearted analysis of a subject, protagonist of which is a ghastly caricature. I am reminded of the titles of Bollywood capers like Paap ko Jalakar raakh kar dunga and Zulm ko zinda jala dunga ( of all the people Nasser was hero)
You have said that he will go to Oslo but the unpredictable as he is, he may first take a detour to Cuba. For that however he has to find a way out of the self made mess.
Two songs that come to my mind are
Mere liye aati hai sham – Raato ka Raja- Majrooh- RDB – Rafi
https://youtu.be/sXLP_GoZSmk?si=LldfISvzWRNDHDXa
And the second one may depict where he ultimately ends
Main apne aap se ghabra gaya hoon- Bindiya – Rajendra Krishn- Iqbal Qureshi -Rafi
https://youtu.be/wPIxxiT8kV0?si=n_e5vfF431GZuAcS
Verma ji,
You must have seen our Hero’s felicity with Haryanavi, Punjabi, Rajasthani language. During his days of peace frenzy he Chaudhary Trump Chacha was offering single-window solution of land disputes, honour killing, eviction. The services included pehelwans with lathis, with our without armed weapons. With his felicity with elegant language, and vocabulary, one day he may start singing Sochta hun ye kya kiya maine (Kidar Sharma, Snehal Bhatkar.
Mr Muli,
The man defies all serious analysis. I have some friends who are serious strategic thinkers. One person attributes to him great strategic achievement. I have serious differences with him.
The man provides a good comic entertainment, had it not been so tragic for the entire world. Mine is just an escape mechanism. My only serious statement was “How I wish he was able to….” If the Oslo guys are sensible, my belief is he would rush straight to Oslo, and in his reverie, Cuba just earn some respite.
Mujhe meri biwi se bachao
Akadthi hai, bigadti hai
Hamesha mujh se ladti hai…
Nakrewali… Nakrewali
Dekhne mein dekh lo hai kaisi bholi bhali…
Kunwe mein khood ke mar jaana
Yaar tum shadi mat karna….
Kamata hoon bahut kuch par
Kamayi doob jaati hai….
Dr Shetty,
All evergreen songs. A new song from Page 3: Kuan ma doob jaaungi. The Page 3 crowd was rapturous over this bamboo pole dance song.
This from a 2011 film “Gulaal”, sung by Rekha Bharadwaj, lyrics and music Piyush Misra
A Rajasthani folk-flavoured song acts as an allegory, employing political satire to compare internal rage with global geopolitics. If it appears relevant today, that is purely accidental.

An appropriate post on the current situation that the world has been pushed into.
Thinking of the man-child, some songs come to my mind;
Meri marzi main chahe ye karoon – Gambler 1995
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgW-LPZ9DEw&list=RDsgW-LPZ9DEw
Main hoon Don – Don 1978

Mujhko dekhoge jahan tak mujhko paoge wahan tak – RTGM 1985

Kuchh to log kahenge – Amar Prem 1971

Yaaro who has seen tomorrow kal kisne dekha hai – Aakhri Insaf 1980

Na main Bhagwan hoon
Na main Shaitan hoon
…
MOTHER INDIA.
Venkataraman ji @13,
Excellent song. A little suggestive. Yes, reflects the current reality.
Dr Shetty @14,
Ae dost maine duniya dekhi hai: Quite an arrogant statement to make.
@15,
Except “ghapla” all songs are quite familiar
@17,
Na main bhagwan hun, na main shaitan hun: If it is the film song, one has to guard against this confused man.
Dr Deshpande @16,
While we all enjoy the songs, there is a lurking apprehension of things going horribly wrong. WA is giving a convincing gyan by a historian – America can never win the war, staying on is prohibitively expensive. Walking away is just not possible – that would be the end of US power.
Ak ji @20
Your mention of gyan takes me to Sahir’s immortal prayer
ओ सारे जग के रखवाले
निर्बल को बल देनेवाले
बलवानों को दे दे ग्यान
But it seems that his pleas have fallen on deaf ears.
Sikandar ne Porus se kee thi ladai
Toh kee thi ladai
Main kya karoon?

Mr Muli @21
You must have also seen three famous Iranis have been contacted by the confused old child-man for negotiations. Boman Irani, Aruna Irani and Smriti Irani have started serious dialogue with the old man-child. The latter has also announced that he is going to address the nation at 6.30 am. I am still hopeful of our Iranis would instil some sense into the old child-man.
Dr Shetty @22,
Three perfect and timeless songs you have added. Since our man-child has already won, let us hope tomorrow morning he declares victory and ceasefire, and leaves others to their own devices.
AK ji,
Insaan tha pehle bandar…
SON OF INDIA.
I often wonder where did Shanti Mathur disappear!
Nanna munna rahi hoon..
Is a very pleasant song and was hugely popular.
Trump has realised he has no trump card up his sleeve. So, all eyes ( / ears? ) on the speech tomorrow morning!
He seems to be an exception for the above song. Hasn’t become a proper insaan and the evolution bypassed him!!!
Hope he doesn’t have the madness to say ‘ Meri marzi!!!
Dr Shetty,
Thanks a lot of your comment. He has proved his “Meri marzi” includes exit or escalation.
Well, well, well! What do you know!
The petulant man-child has finally proclaimed victory, and decided to go back to his real East Wing! Hoorah!
‘Hum Chhod Chale Hei Mehfil Ko’

Let us all marvel and bask in the glory of the dazzling achievements of Orange The Great, and show our heartfelt gratitude by bestowing him with his rightful awards.
1. He singlehandedly destroyed the highly secretive Girls’ School, using just a Tomahawk missile. The world can rest easy, and feel safe, that those extremely dangerous girls are all dead! Surely a Purple Heart and Nobel Prize for Extreme Courage!
2. Destroyed and buried historical monuments, and still promising to bomb the country to ‘stone-age’ (Taliban eat your heart out). Another Purple Heart and Nobel Prize for Services to Human Culture and History!
3. Regime change! What regime change? The buffoon-in-charge has re-enforced, a hundred fold, the power grip of the Mullahs over the Iranian population, for God knows how long. Come on! This definitely deserves at least the Nobel Prize for Freedom.
4. And finally – ‘Jaato Hoon Mein Mujhe Ab Na Bulana’.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzTGd_nKrbM&list=RDJzTGd_nKrbM&start_radio=1
5. After leaving a great big stinking pile of excrement on our doorstep, the man-child crawls back victoriously to his cubbyhole, where his shameless ****-lickers are falling over each other to change his nappy (or is it diaper?). With his tail firmly superglued between his legs, he is still crying and complaining about having to do everything himself. Surely another Purple Heart and Nobel Prize for Selfless Leadership and Courage.
Tongue firmly in cheek 🙂
A blog-post on HFM could not have been so satirical while being so contemplative!
Mahesh Joshi @27,
I think you have posted your comment after hearing the old man-child’s “address to the nation”. The whole world listened to it with bated breath. The regime change was not my objective but it has already changed. I don’t need Hormuz strait, because I have the largest reserves of oil, much larger than that of Russia and Saudi Arabia combined, not counting Venezuelan oil. Those who need oil from Hormuz may send their tankers and do whatever they want to do for its security. I sought NATO’s help, but I don’t need them, they are useless paper tigers, they can buy oil from us, or if they love Hormuz oil so much let them take care of it. I have won big, but we would bomb them into Stone Age.
I heard the same speech, everyone has the same doubt, if you have won big, and achieved all your objectives, what more you are fighting for?
You have expressed your anger with perfectly befitting songs.
Ashok ji @28,
You can hardly be serious with the 80-year old man-child, so this was the only way I could write a post on HFM, if I make any reference to him. I heard the statement of Australian PM too, after the old man-child’s address. He was as bewildered like any of us, and he asked in a diplomatic language, if you have already won big, and achieved all your objective, what more you want to achieve?
Man child called out the NATO members:
Arre bhai nikal ke aa ghar se, aa ghar se
while continuing his original songs:
Ek rasta, aha aha
Do raahi, ….
Ek Trump, Ek Netanyahu.
Ye dosti hum nahin todenge
Todenge Iran ko
Tera saath na todenge.
NATO:
Jaa jaldi bhaag jaa….
MC:
Bichde sabhi baari baari
Dekhi zamane ki yaari!!!
Rest of the world:
Harmuz kinare dil ye pukare
Tu jo nahin choda toh
Hamare koi gas/ oil nahin hai.
Dr Shetty,
Nice one.
AK,
A brilliant write-up. Usually this tone we saw in your Holi posts, but this too is an opportune moment. D, T and H. What an idea. I totally agree with your verdict @20 that US is going to lose its power. And @ 23 the idea of his talks with the 3 Iranis was marvellous too. Dr Shetty has also come up @ 31 with a creative situation. Mahesh Joshi also produced a nice series. Enjoyed all that.
Enjoyed a number of songs from your list as well as in the comments, but the best was Venkataramani’s from Gulaal. What a fit to the situation. Dr Shetty had mentioned ‘Sikander ne Porus se’ which is my favourite and came to mind immediately. There was a song ‘soota lagao yaaro’ from Goonj-1989 by Abhijeet which has weird lyrics like the Gulaal song but not in the same league. This song talks about Iran-Iraq war.
‘iraqi ya iraani, karne do unko ladaayi,
dhunaki mein tum na yaro, karna kisi se ladaayi,
tumko kya matlab kisne, sone ki chidiya ko loota’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIGztLKuQTA
About the war. There was someone on ‘X’ who asked the reason for firing so many generals by Trump. I framed Trump’s reply.
“You know we have won the war, so we dont need the Chief of Army Staff who won us the war. Now we want to win the war a second time, so we need a second CAS.”
I think a number of Shammi Kapoor songs can fit the man-child like ‘chahe koi mujhe junglee kahe’ or ‘jaanewalo jara hoshiyar, yahan ke hum hain raj kumar’, but the song ‘jab tak hum hain hum hi hum hain’ from Pyar Kiya to Darna Kya is the correct fit. Its picrurisation is also perfect. Mukhda and the 1st antara.
‘jab tak hum hain hum hi hum hain
koi nahin duniya mein apna siwa,
apni jawani hai apna zamana hai
phir kyon ho humko kisi ki parwa,’
‘hum hain mauj nagar ke raja,
duniya humse darti,
taaj hamara neel gagan hai,
takht hamara dharti,
humin hain apne dil ke maalik,
kaun bhala roke hamara rasta.’

Hans ji,
I agree totally.
Shammi Kapoor’s songs are a perfect fit.
Even before the War , Trump:
Log kahe mujhe
PAGLA KAHIN KA!!!
He thought winning was a cake walk and he would
Saverewali gadi se chale jaayenge…
But, it was not to be!
Such a BUNDALBAAZ and BLUFF MASTER!!
Not an iota of SACHHAI in his blood!!!
Melanie was heard singing:
JHOOTHA KAHIN KA
Mujhe aisa mila
Jise hai Nobel committee se gila!
Hans,
Thanks a lot for your compliments. I remember Maithili Sharan Gupt’s lines from ‘Saket’: राम तुम्हारा चरित स्वयं ही काव्य है; कोई कवि बन जाय स्वयं सम्भाव्य है. It is the credit of our hero the D, who evokes creative talent in others. Once I started writing, I realised the Hornets’ proxies who are closer to the T have proper names starting with. That was an interesting coincidence.
Today 5 weeks would end, and we would enter 6th week. The D has suffered a big embarrassment – an advanced stealth bomber of 5th generation has been shot down, the pilot ejected in H’s territory. The man so far has shown he is beyond any sense of embarrassment or shame. He has already won big, but he has threatened the H, he would bomb them into stone age. He is capable of doing this.
About the firing of generals, Iranians showed good sense of humour. They posed a question where has Regime Change taken place? And they answered by giving pictures of 6 generals.
Shammi Kapoor’s songs are a good fit. There are many songs fitting into the theme. The worst case scenario is, faced with defeat and loss of face, he may bomb them into Stone Age.
I liked all your songs.
Dr Shetty @34,
You are deep into Bollywood. Nice play of words.
@35,
Nice one. You must have followed international news: A niece of his has joined “No King” movement. But as I said he has reached nirvaan. He is freed from the bonds of human emotions like empathy, embarrassment, shame etc.
Dr Shetty,
Again on the dot.
We can slightly twist the song ‘diwana mujhko log kahen’ from Diwana’ to sound like, ‘diwana mujhko log kahen, main banaun logon ko diwana’.
The above song was on the sober Raj Kapoor but Joy Mukherjea acted as a younger brother of Shammi in Shagird when he lip-synced ‘duniya pagal hai ya phir main deewana’.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pGmzVin6fc
But perhaps the ‘D’ of our story main end up singing ‘ae gham-e-dil kya karoo, ae wahshat-e-dil kya karoon’ or even ‘zinda hoon is tarah ke gham-e-zindagi nahin, jalta hua diya hoon magar roshni nahin.’
I think Melanie might have demanded ‘balma anadi manga de ghoda gaadi’ and that could have brought in his mind the idea of sending Iran to stone-age to enjoy a ghoda gaadi ride and may be enjoy some ghoda gaadi beat songs of OPN.
AK,
Our great character ‘D’ may be ‘budtameez’ or ‘besharam’ but is not a ‘bewaqoof’ and he is earning big in stock market and betting market by his deliberate unpredictable behaviour and I think he is even ready to face impeachment.
Regarding ‘stone age’, he is not the first US President to use that phrase. Bush used that for Afghanistan when they invaded that country in 2001 and after bombing them like hell for 20 years they still had to run leaving everything behind – a situation funny people would call running in their underwears. Taliban is stronger than at any other time.
Though the Afghanistan situation did not harm their international standing, Iran would change all that. Here, as you said, Mr.D has poked his stick in the Hornet’s Nest. There cannot be more humiliation than the inability of their famed Aircraft Carriers to come even near the Persian Gulf, and troops running from military bases to hotels or to homeland. We have heard a new term ‘laundry fire’ along with the often used term ‘friendly fire’. I think somebody left the ‘iron press’ on the uniform like Seeta in Seeta aur Geeta, which enraged ‘chaachi’ who gave a thrashing to Seeta. There 5th fleet HQ which was stationed in Bahrain has been evacuated. Before this war, he was counting jets downed in Indo-Pak war, but now he is counting his own jets being downed. Israel is also doomed.
Hansji @ 33
Thank you for your appreciation. Yes AKji’s post has given plenty of scope to describe the man-child’s personality and behaviour.
Here are more examples – slightly rephrased 😉
1. ‘Na Mein Bhagwan Hoon’ – Shettyji has already posted the original version but the rephrasing would go as follows: ‘Na Mein Bhagwan Hoon, Na Mein Insaan Hoon, Duniya Jo Chahe Samjhe, Mein To Shaitan Hoon’ – Mother India.
2. ‘Natija Hamari Ladaai (Mohabatt) Ka Kya Hai Yeh Tum Bhi Na Socho – Puraskar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMZwi4kaVhk&list=RDKMZwi4kaVhk&start_radio=1
3. ‘Mera Paighaam Nafrat (Mohabatt) Ke Siva Kuchh Bhi Nahin – Rafi
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKxPTbsrPII
The flip side of this topic is that, unfortunately, we are associating some very very classy songs with the actions and behaviour of a buffoon who hasn’t got an ounce of class, decency or humanity.
PS. The buffoon-in-charge has just announced the rescue of the crashed F15 pilot. Unconfirmed reports say that a movie has already been planned with the orange wonder playing all the parts. Location shooting has already started in the ruins of the East Wing 😉
AK Ji
Shammi was the favourite petulant baby of Producers and public alike. The titles of his movies say it all. He also produced Bundlebaaz and Manoranjan. The Bundlebaaz D is currently engaged in grisly Manoranjan.
Hans ji has mentioned number of Shammi songs of which
Janewalo jara hoshiyar fits H with their grip on Hormuz.
D will like Chahe koi mujhe but will change the clarion call from Yahoo to Nyahoo.
Here D and N are donning the roles of Raja and Rana
Do bechare bina sahare – Victoria no 203- Verma Malik – KA- KK and MK
https://youtu.be/Lit2NH7cFDQ?si=We2lw3N3YhiM8oGD
D and N indeed are searching for the problem with solution in their hands
And now Johar and Mehmood depict their plight
Ye do diwane dil ke- Johar Mehmood in Goa – KA – Qumar Jalalabadi- Rafi and Manna Dey
https://youtu.be/_jPUQrxCkAM?si=GjTmZa_QeDhX0sN8
D somedays ago received “a big beautiful gift”
ससुरे का प्यार देखो
भेजे है गहने
Just as I type this, a flash message on mobile shows D repeating his threat on Truth social using F word.
Hans,
With all these negatives US was looking bad, and the popular mandate was the D has brought the US down several notches to its lowest ebb in global affairs. But the two pilots’ rescue from the enemy territory is a great operation by the US Military. The D has already started dancing. We are happy at the human level, but I am scared that the D would use it as a license to keep on destroying the economic assets.
Mahesh Joshi,
The D deserves all the lampooning and roasting. But we have not seen a more thick-skinned person. Rescuing the two pilots is a great daring act by the US Army. I hope he does not take it as the infallibility of his war toy.
Mr Muli,
The crisis brought on the world is going to pinch us too. The middle class too is not immune. I envy Hans who resides in a rural area and he can switch to primary sources for his energy and food needs.
You, Dr Shetty, Dr Deshpande, Mahesh Joshi, N Venkataraman, and many others on SOY are great wordsmiths. Have you noticed that D (Dog) and T (Tail) are also the initials of our buffoon’s name?
‘Nyahoo’ is a nice one. But we have been using T for Tail as in ‘Tail wagging the Dog’.
MC : Iran is going to be sent back to the Stone Age!!!
Meanwhile, Melanie:
Koi pathar se na maare mere deewane ko/
Logon na maro isse
Yahi toh deewana hai mera….
I don’t like people dying. I have stopped 8 Wars. We have won. This War will also be stopped by me. The 9th.
Nau baar War rokhenge
Sau baar Nobel Peace prize maangenge
She is fantastic!! She said ” This Nobel peace prize is yours. The committee erred/ misjudged/ blundered/ goofed up badly. I am handing it over to you, Me Lord! So sensible this lady! Their President is a Bad Man. I put him in the cell. He is going to pay for his dins.”
MC:
Inteha ho gayi intezar ki
Aayee na kuch khabar
Nobel prize ki….
Ye hame hai patha
Bewafa woh nahin
Phir wajah kya hui
Intezar ki?
Maria Corino Machado:
Suno ji tum, kaho ji tum

Yahan toh har cheez bhikti hai…
Aayee re khilonewali
Khel khilone leke aayee re
….
Tohfa Tohfa Tohfa

AK ji,
Tail wagging the dog , yes.
But the MC can never ever be compared to the loyal, faithful, true, honest canine species!!
On his permanent departure, no American is going to sing:
TERI MEHERBANIYAN
Teri khadardaniyan
Khurban tujhpe meri
Kai zindaganiyan.
Dr Shetty @45, 46,
Beautiful play of words. That hot female Machado is very cute. She knew the real worth of the D. Now he has got a Nobel Peace Prize. It adorns the White House. That Hot Female does not want it back. If I compliment her by calling her a Hot Female, the commie media men start screaming I use profane words. Idiots.
I am curious about this new word. If it is a Punjabi swear word, you can share with me one to one.
Mahesh Joshi, @ 40
If you have seen my old posts, you would see I time and again present songs in a sequence. That is why I liked your presentation. Another one besides Dr Shetty, who has done this a number of times is Rahul Muli. I was wondering why he has not joined here in that way. But, I see now he had done a good one @ 41.
Regarding the bufoon, not only classic songs but classic idioms also fit. The two which come to mind are ‘bandar ko mili haldi ki ganth, pansari ban baitha’ and ‘bandar ke hath mein ustara’ which fits more to him.
In the 1956 film Chhoo Mantar, Johny Walker played the role of Baijoo, who was a village singer. Females would gather to listen to his songs, which was not liked by villagers. The villagers will time and again beat him up badly and send him to his home on ‘khatia’ or ‘charpai’. Vaids and hakeems would say no hope, but Baijoo will soon miraculously recover. Film shows about 50 such occurrences and in the end village panchayat outcast him. His father said to him, “tum apna lafangapan chhod kar koi kaam kyun nahin kar lete”. To this he replied, “mere jaisa kamau poot tumhen dhoondhne se bhi nahin milega. main poori 50 ‘khatia’ kama ke laya hoon, ek khaat 5 rupay ki lago to kitne ho jayenge.” Trump is just like that. He has no shame for any number of beatings or even outcasting, he would be talking about ‘khatia’ as a prize.
Mahesh Joshi,
Another thing I forgot. In the song ‘na main bhagwan hoon’ mentioned by you, there is a scene when Sunil Dutt is singing ‘uljhi hai saari duniya roti ke jaal mein’ suddenly the camera goes on an old blind man eating his roti which a dog snatches. Sunil Dutt as ‘insaan’ gave the old man his own ‘roti’. What do you think our D-the shaitaan do. My take is, 1 ‘he would push the oldman from his post and kick the dog and snatch the roti and throw it far away’ or ‘he would kick the dog snatch the roti, and give it to the oldman after pissing and spitting on it’.
AK ji,
You mince no words n don’t act modest while appreciated female beauty, be it Melanie or Machado. That’s highly appreciable.
Hans ji,
In a few hours, let’s all hope/ wish we wouldn’t be hearing:
Aag hai lagee hui
Har taraf yahan wahan
Jal rahi hai ye zameen
Jal rahi hai aasman.
MC:
Jiska mujhe tha intezar
….
Woh ghadi aa gayi aa gayi
…
With the POWs:
Maar diya jaaye
Ya chod diya jaaye
Bol tere saath kya
Sulook kiya jaaye?
To NATO members:
Tum Kya jaano
Ke War kya hai
War zone , kameeno
Ye war zone nahin, jahannum hai.
Aa dekhe zara
Kisme kitna hai dum
Aage rakh lo kadam
You hopeless cowardiyan!
Rahul Muli, @ 42
At the start of the war D was singing ‘janewalo jara hoshiyar’ then H took over. Raja and Rana were in Victoria 203 looking for licker with a chabi, but now D and T are searching for the Uranium driving their loading truck. In the context of NATO, another Shammi song that fits Trump is ‘ae dil ab kahin le ja, na kisi ka main na koi mera’.
In his message with F-word, Trump also used the phrase ‘crazy bastards’. A commenter on X, said in America, the contribution of unwed mothers to total births in America is about 40 per cent. In Iran it is impossible. And everyone in the world has taken Trump as a synonym of ‘crazy’ and ‘liar’.
AK, @ 42
America is known for fake stories. The biggest of the stories their walking on the moon and the 9/11 attack on Trade Centre are both lies. I can make a long list of such lies. America invaded Afghanistan exactly 26 days after 9/11. In the meantime they investigated who was behind it and where he was and also made preparations for an attack on a nation.
I have been closely following comments of various experts on both sides. Most of the US claims are false and Iran has come out better in the war of information. Experts say that the jet which was downed was F-35 and not F-15. F-35 has one pilot and F-!5 has two. Colonel is a very high rank. F-15 pilots are of the rank of Captain. It is not possible that a Colonel would sit as WSO in a jet flown by a Captain. F-15 is a 40 year old plane while F-35 is the stealth jet with the latest technology. On Friday, they immediately went for search and lost 4 more aircraft. They asked Iran for a 48 hour ceasefire to search for the second pilot, saying they rescued one pilot. Iran had announced a booty on the second pilot. This is unusual. Experts think they captured the pilot immediately and left the beacon on and deliberately announced the booty to lure Americans. On Saturday Americans say they went with two Transport planes which are huge in size and slow in movement and said they stuck in sand and they themselves destroyed them. Experts say that the crash site is hard rocky area instead of sand and near Isphahan. The first crash was nearer Kuwait. If they had rescued the pilot the helicopters should have flown directly to Kuwait because the pilot was said to be in serious condition. They took him further inside Iran and when the Transport planes could not move they called for three more planes and flew back the pilot and others to Kuwait. What a story. In fact they perhaps wanted to shoot an operation near Isphahan to say they have seized Uranium and call it as victory. Somebody from Iran, must have given them false information about there being no military presence in that area to lure them and they fell for it. All of their planes or most of them were targetted and they lost a number of soldiers too. In two days they lost 12 aircraft. Their is proof that the Transport planes came from Israel and it is next to impossible that 3 more planes would arrive from Israel at such a short notice.
The whole story of the rescue of pilots is a hoax. American opposition would also not like to call it, just like despite there being lot of holes in Operation Sindoor nobody opposed it in India.
Trump can bomb Iran but the retaliation would come and would be real bad for the energy sector.
Regarding the primary sources of energy you mentioned, we have been ever since the Corona fiasco focusing on keeping stocks of necessary things. We have acquired about a quintal of cooking coal in addition to the firewood we have in abundance. I would advise all friends here to collect such things for emergency, because this scarcity is not going soon. We also in this area purchase vegetables like Onion and Potato in bulk for about 6 months. Nearby Rajasthan has two crops of Onion which are good to eat raw too. Most of the grains we produce ourselves and keep a stock for about 3-4 years. Rice, Sugar and Pulses also we purchase in advance. These things I have listed for guidance purposes. We all should do this as far as possible. So far as I know, Dr Shetty too has a farmhouse, so he can grow essentials, though it may not be possible for him to stay in the farm house being a practising Doctor.
Dr Shetty @50,
Not my words though. The D is a big admirer of female beauty. He does not mince words even for World leaders. The proof is the comments on this post. They are all going berserk with words – though it is not a very flattering words. The D’s final warning, “do this, else” is coming to an end in 6 hrs. Would that be the end of a civilisation? Nuke them? Let us wait.
Dr Shetty you are in full flow.
There was a Lata Mangeshkar song in Taj Mahal, ‘khuda e bartar teri zameen par zameen ki khatir ye jung kyun hai’. I am giving it here, but most call such songs rhetoric.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RNkVAFNCCk
There was a song ‘ye duniya ye duniya haye hamari ye duniya’ from Yahudi, which fits in today’s situation.

AK, @ 54
He is not going to do anything like nuking. He has obliterated Iran more than 200 times since February 28, but they are not stopping and have popped the myth of American power.
Hansji @ 48
I have only very recently joined the SOY community as a poster, but have been a silent follower of this excellent blog for a very long time, and have always looked forward to reading your posts in particular. Your posts are always very well thought out and highly informative, full of statistical analysis and other relevant information which makes any topic an interesting and enjoyable read, as well as a source of knowledge.
Compared to you, and other knowledgeable experts on SOY, my knowledge of the hindi film music is minuscule, mainly based on what I have heard on radio while growing up, and lately catching up on YouTube and other online sources, but never deeply researched or analysed. Hence I am thoroughly enjoying learning more about the Golden Era of HFM from the discussions on SOY.
As for your point @ 49, regarding the D’s action, I think he would kick both the blind-man and the dog, grab the roti for himself and have the blind-man deported to one of those South American prisons. Not only is he thick-skinned (shameless) but unfortunately he is also teflon ie nothing sticks to him. How can a country, so advanced in every way, have chosen a buffoon like this as a leader? I think even Yudhishthir would have a tough time answering that 🙂
As for buffoon-in-charge’s threats of obliteration, let us hope the saying ‘barking dogs seldom bite’ is true. Wishful thinking? 😉
Hans ji
Pradeep ji and Mahesh ji are playing like Yashasvi and Vaibhav hitting boundaries at will therefore others have to steal a single whenever they pause for drinks.
Your idioms on bandar remind me one from Marathi ” आधीच मर्कट तशात मद्य प्याला” meaning first of all he is a monkey and on top of it he is drunk. However I fear that bandar community may take umbrage if we equate them to D, though D has T.
Hans @55,
You are right. Hornets had started begging, please Sir, spare us. Don’t go by the Fake AI-generated Mad Mullahs, the Hs have created 100s of them with fake videos. He has declared two week’s pause in operations and started negotiating with the H. The world is relieved that at least there is a two weeks’ pause. D obviously sent his list of demands; the FAMMs have also given some list of conditions. “I have already made America great again. But since I am a man of peace, I have nominated a team to talk to the delegation of Fake AI-generated Mad Mullas. The Fake Media has started falsely saying I have lost the war. My MAGA base is happy that they have chosen the greatest President in American history”.
Fertile brains are at play, and our dedicated SoY soldiers are equally formidable on the word-front.
And BTW, AKji which new word are you referring to. I do not understand Punjabi.
Pradeep Ji is going great guns—firing all the shots, all on target. And Hansji has turned serious (at @53) from subtle, which is good. But what a great post this is turning out to be! We could demand a Nobel Prize for this post.
Well, let me add my two cents.
Lagi jo takkar, are kha gaye chakkar tute laddu man ke
Chale the chaube chhabe hone rah gaye dube ban ke
Jhuk gayi dekho gardan unki chalte the jo tan ke
Ho gaye chaupat sabhi iraade aaj kisi ke man ke
……………….
https://www.saregama.com/song/lagi-jo-tukker_134530
Hans @53,
I am coming back to you. The whole world is decoding the D’s tweet of today’s early morning announcing the ceasefire. I don’t have the capability to analyse deep into the global strategy affairs. I could only read what the D was conveying. “There is great money to be made by all. Iran said they had enough of it, therefore I agreed for pause in operations to open the Hormuz strait. Golden Age of Middle East has arrived just as there is Golden Age in America”. The experts are debating who is going to make a great amount of money. It does not look like he has brought in Golden Age in America.
Your last few lines: Unfortunately it is not possible for me to go back to your kind of happy living. I have to depend on small pleasures bestowed by the D.
By the way did you notice that Hormuz strait too start with ‘H’? So Hornets, proxies, and now the strait – all starting with H can’t simply be a coincidence.
Dr Shetty @50, @51,
You confused me with your word. I thought you meant that Hot Chick whom the Italians have chosen as their Prime Minister. The Babe is really sexy. Just imagine, the fake media is calling me indecent. For language mainstream America uses everyday! All leftist idiots.
Your ‘MC’ word has got Swami Venkataraman ji curious. Please elucidate it to him.
Nice songs.
Venkataraman ji @60,
The word ‘MC’ you are referring to is not new. This must be existing from time immemorial. You don’t need to understand Punjabi, this must be in use in Bengal. But since Dr Shetty used it, he might have a specific meaning in mind and I might be totally off, I have asked him to explain.
AKji @62
Sorry to butt in
I thought Shettyji’s use of MC meant man-child! Or am I completely off the mark ?
Akji,
You to mislead me, by asking Pradeepji, if it is a Punjabi word. I thought it could be Munder Chadhti as used in “Kabhi bel munder nahin chadhti”.
Mahesh Joshi @64,
You are absolutely right. My mind was dirty, and I was obsessed with the D, and his colourful language. He uses the F-word generously. Punjabis too are apt to use a colourful language using the word with a close female relative. OTT series use these words generously.
Venkataraman ji @65,
I must be completely off, Mahesh Joshi has given the more likely word. I apologise to you and Dr Shetty for being so unfair to you and even thinking that you can stoop down to D’s level.
Mahesh ji, AK ji, NV ji,
Yes, Man Child it is.
In fact, I was baffled what Punjabi word is being referred to!!?Lol.
Hans ji, Muli ji,
Some subjects bring out more reactions from oneself than the others. And, this being so contemporary, it is easy to react. We can get hundreds of apt songs if we have more free time.
It’s a gloomy scene in D’s kennel. He is sitting there in his soiled diaper, surrounded by his drooling sycophantic puppies. He is absolutely heartbroken that he has not been able to annihilate the Hornet’s nest.
1. Over and over he wails – ‘Mere Toote Huve Dil Se Koi To Aaj Yeh Pooche Ke Tera Haal Kya Hai’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaSn5YSsDXw&list=RDuaSn5YSsDXw&start_radio=1
2. Meanwhile T realises that he has been left in a lurch. He pleads to D – ‘Abhi Na Jaao Chhod Ker Ke Dil Abhi Bhara Nahin’

3. Alas D is not in the mood to listen. He sulks even more – ‘Mujhe Tumse Kuchh Bhi Na Chahiye’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RaoB9usogQ&list=RD4RaoB9usogQ&start_radio=1
4. T is distraught, he can’t help lamenting – ‘Bade Bewafa Hai Yeh US wale (Husn wale)

5. In the Hornets’ nest the Mullahs are scratching their heads wondering – ‘Yeh Kya Hua Kaise Hua’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy2OcQCyEmo&list=RDHy2OcQCyEmo&start_radio=1
6. Rest of the world is stocking up, not sure what will happen after two weeks – ‘Dekh Tere Sansar Ki Haalat Kya Ho Gayee’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRqYN0zlsOE&list=RDIRqYN0zlsOE&start_radio=1
Sincere apologies if any of the above songs have already been posted 🙂
Mahesh Joshi,
T’s song fits like a T. There is no ambiguity in their objective. It faces existential threat from H and its proxy H’s. This was a golden chance to finish the mother H. In the melee it could have finished the chick H’s: let us call them H1 (Hizbullah), H2 (Hamas), H3 (Houties). We thought that they were finished in the earlier campaign, but they are Raktbeejs. The T has started doing its own things. T is not so much bothered about the H4 Hormuz.
The D has to be most confused: Ye kya hua kaise hua. Because even after 5 weeks there was no let up in H’s stings. Living in an open society D could not cover its injuries. But it had some very loyal puppies, who all clapped at its big wins. Which songs best represent the situation? Something like “Jeetata hi raha main”.
Main Trump rascala pagla deewana
Itthi si baat na jaana
Ke War mujhe mehenga padega
Face saver doondne padega!!!
Dr Shetty,
Nice one. But he is not the one to admit defeat. Now the game has changed. There is a ceasefire, or two weeks’ pause. The T is not pleased. It has started bombing a neighbouring country most viciously, stating that it is not attacking L, but H1, and that L is not the part of the ceasefire. In a classic example of the Tail wagging the Dog, the D has started saying L is not part of the ceasefire. The Queen Mother H is not amused seeing its proxy H1 facing severe bombardment. It has closed the Hormuz again (H). The D is left with nothing. So it has started issuing threats. D’s puppies have started clapping D has already won big. D says its Army is waiting for another Big Win.
You must recall a song on the theme, Jetata hi raha main or Main jahan chala jaaun, bahaar chali aye.
AKji @ 70
I like your creation of H’s family tree. Very clever:-)
Namaj bakshwane gaye the roze gale pad gaye
F35 ki tanki me tension bhar gaye
Dekho dekho han dekho dekho
Gale mein langot aur suit pahan kar
Kauva chala tha dekho hans banne.
Okhli me sir diya to musal padenge
Hogi nahi phulo ki varsha
Baal mundvate hi ole gire hai
Pure duniya mein hai charcha (o Tommy o Tommy O Tommy)
Kauva chala tha dekho hans banne
Chaube ji chale chhabbe ji banne dube ji banke laute
Kya mol lage kya bol lage sikke hai apne khote
Sikke hai apne khote sikke hai apne khote
Peele pad gaye kaise gore se gaal,
Peele pad gaye kaise Uncle Sam ke gaal
Kauva chala dekho hans banne
The gloom in the kennel is still palpable. D is still not satisfied that the world is not celebrating his overwhelming victory. Pete the war-puppy found the bottle and slithered out from under D’s belly and proclaimed victory with a capital V. In return, the hornets showed him the same two-finger gesture with the fingers turned round. JD Mascara landed in Europe, with his Indian wife, to show everyone how immigrant-friendly his country is. ICE is just a myth.
1. Meanwhile T is still devastated that he has been stood up by D. He cries out in indignation – ‘Mere Dost Kissaa Yeh Kya Ho Gaya’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMH9NKrbMlM&list=RDiMH9NKrbMlM&start_radio=1
2. D can’t ignore this accusation and tries to pacify T – ‘Jeet Hi Lenge Baazi Humtum’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAXGiEqtGu8&list=RDDAXGiEqtGu8&start_radio=1
3. The H, meanwhile, is gathering support from the other clansmen – ‘Saathi Haath Badhana Saathi Re’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfYAdkKGOxs&list=RDHfYAdkKGOxs&start_radio=1
Ak ji
Now there is घमासान on whether L was included or not
D and T are adamant that it was not not but H says that it was.
There is now focus on dubious role little Puppy played as a messenger
This is just like
Mujhe kya pata tha kabhi Ishq me
Rakiboko kasid banate nahi
Khata ho gayi mujhse kasid mere
Tere haath paigam kyon de diya
A few days before there was a news that a shipment meant for us suddenly changed its course to Big C, the song above says
Main samajha nahi aye mere humnashi
Saja ye mili hai mujhe kis liye
Ke saki ne lab se mere cheen kar
Kisi aur ko jam kyon de diya
And if D somehow gets what he is desparately after we may erupt
Khudaya yaha tere insaaf ke
Bahot maine charche sune hai magar
Saza ki jagah ek khatawar ko
Bhala tune inaam kyon de diya
Anand Bakshi saw all these years ago.
Venkataraman ji @74, Mahesh Joshi @75, Mr Muli @76,
I can’t agree with you more. हरि अनन्त हरि कथा अनन्ता. But I like Maithili Sharan Gupt’s lines more from साकेत: राम तुम्हारा चरित स्वयं ही काव्य है. कोई कवि बन जाय सहज संभाव्य है. D, T, H, and now the new puppy P (our neighbouring country), who has thrown its own hat in the Nobel ring, cause creative juices to flow. But in parallel they also compete with the pup-in-chief H to fawn over the D. Quite a menagerie of stand up comedians. At the centre of the funniest part is whether H1, which is also the state of L, is part of the ceasefire or not. The moment the T said it was out of the ceasefire, the D too followed suit – a classic case of T wagging the D. They are one step ahead of whatever we may create.
Mahesh Joshi, @ 57 & 69 & 75
Thanks for the nice words of compliments. After watching your great sequence of 69 and 75, I dont agree that you lag behind anyone. Your tank is full of songs and humour. You understand politics also too well. I liked D’s shaitani action with oldman and dog as imagined by you.
Hansji @ 78
Thank you very much for your words. Much appreciated. 🙂

A nice marathi idiom about the ‘bandar’ and ‘pyala’.
Let us concoct a story with available idioms of the the ‘bandar’.
Once upon a time, a bandar found a haldi ki gaath. He spread his rumaal on the footpath and set up his pansari shop with it. Despite his putting a serious sober face of a business man nobody even looked at his goods. Though his insides were boiling, he collected his rumaal in the evening and started for home. While returning, he found a piece of ‘adrak’ the swad of which he did not know. So he put it in his pocket. In the way there was a desi daroo theka. He asked for a ‘pyala’ of sharaab on ‘udhaar’ showing his goods and claiming he is a business man now and will soon pay back the cost. The vendor did not believe him, but supplied him the pyala to avoid any non-sense. The bandar put the haldi and adrak in the pyala and after some time he drank it. By the time he reached home the cocktail had its effect. He went straight to bathroom and there saw his own face in the mirror but did not like it. So he went to the nearby barber’s shop-cum-residence and forced him to have a hair-cut. He wanted a hair-cut like Dev Anand. During the hair-cup operation he saw the ustara and asked what is this for. The barber said this is for shaving. Bandar remembered Dev Anand was clean shaved, so he wanted to be shaved. When the barber had finished half of the job, the bandar liked it and wanted to learn the art. He forced the barber to sit in his own chair, and started the operation which was not as smooth in his hands as barber. So he put more force and in the process slit the throat of the barber who fell and in the agony of death started waving his hands and feet. The bandar thought the barber is becoming a bandar, so he thought if I cut my throat I may become a human and a real Dev Anand. So he did the needful and in the morning people in the neighbourhood found two corpses to handle.
I have not given the title to the story. But, since I am very democratic, I would offer the readers a choice from some suggestions.
Bandar the pansari or The pansari bandar
Bandar who knew the swad of adrak
A bandar who was a Dev Anand fan
Bandar and the barber
AK, @ 59 & 61
The story of FAMMs was really great. But the level of madness of the D is such that he can actually say that. I dont think any sane person believes in Trump’s offers and Iranians know that. But they are playing along and as they have been smarter than the Americans, they would outsmart them in this matter too. They also have some plans. Most probably they have got some assurance from China and Russia in this matter.
Whatever he or his andhbhakts say about MAGA, my definition of it is Make America Garbage Again which he will at least put it on that road if he is allowed to complete his term.
I liked your story of various Hs, but there is one more H and that is me, who also like the other Hs does not like America because they do not have an iota of Honesty, Humility or Honour.
Hans @81,
We have been dealing so far with the Queen Mother H, and H1, H2, H3, H4. Now we have our own H5. Quite a chaotic collection of Hs. There is a great comedy film Humshakal (H6) which also did not have so many Hs – the film had three characters having three humshakals each – 9 in all but the honours was shared by three characters.
Insaan Ki Karamat!
The Artemis 2 crew made the historic journey round the moon and claimed that they represented the whole of humanity in doing so.
Meanwhile POTUS is doing his bit for humanity by bombing a country to ‘stoneage’ and claiming that the people of that country ‘do NOT mind being bombed upon’. The only thing missing is a video showing ecstatic Iranians running out in the streets, hands aloft, at the first sight of Tomahawk missiles raining down upon them. Who knows, there is one in production 🙂
On the other hand, supposedly unbeknownst to him, his wife is dropping the JE bomb of her own, by reading a statement in the grounds of the White House saying she was never abused by Epstien. This lives us to believe that this intellectual brainbox was there for having clever and creative conversations while living like a lotus in water.
On the other side of the world, a country which doesn’t understand the meaning of the word Peace, is brokering a peace-deal in the interest of humanity!
Wah bhai wah!
Forgive the typo in ‘this lives us to believe…’ Please read ‘this leads us to believe…’
Sorry, I forgot to add the paragraph about T’s contribution to humanity. He has sewn the seeds of future terrorists and hatred in the ruins of Gaza and Lebanon. This is supposed to ensure the future safety and security of his country! How?
Venkataramanji,
Connecting the song @60 is a mind-blowing capture and fits greatly. There was a similar song but not of this quality in Main Bhi Ladki Hoon ‘aaye the huzoor bade tan ke’ which had a male and female version. I give here both.

I am highly impressed with your poetic talent in your comment @ 74, conjuring a poem by including various muhavaras. There was a film song in Man Ka Meet, with a starting line including film names that were considered abuses of the sober kind ‘ek anadi junglee janwar budtameez deewana’. Mukhda of this song has a second line which says ‘rail ke dibbe mein aa baitha chhid ke pagalkhana’ which can be changed to ‘POTUS ki kursi par baitha chhod ke pagalkhana’. This song too had two versions, but only the first by Asha Bhosle fits, so I am giving it.

Hansji @ 86,
Credit actually belongs to Subhas Kapoor, the lyricist of the song. It is originally from the film Jolly L.L.B, with only minimal changes made. Since you credited me for connecting the song @60, I will take slight credit for recalling and connecting it—nothing more. My Hindi is not proficient enough for such creativity. Sorry I didn’t post it earlier—here it is now.”

Thank anyway.
AK,
This is regarding the point in your comment @ 72 about the Israelis bombing Lebanon and Trump endorsing it, being a case of Tail wagging the Dog. In fact this is American deceit. They are always deceitful. Recently, during this war itself, the Americans asked Iraqi militia for a 24 hour ceasefire to evacuate their soldiers. Most probably they must have money to secure this ceasefire. It is not clear whether they fully evacuated or not, but after the time of ceasefire ended the Americans bombed the post of the militia and killed their soldiers and a leader. This time they are doing it through Israel.
Contrary to the general perception Israel is just a puppet of US and nothing else. Out of the total GDP of Israel, 20 to 50 per cent comes as American aid. A lot of investment comes to Israel from Europe as well as the Gulf countries, due to American pressure. Most of the infrastructure has been developed by US and its allies. Israel has very little resources. Only about 25 per cent of its land is worth agriculture. It has no energy of its own and even for most of its water needs it depends on the sea. Israel has an area equivalent to Meghalya and Iran’s is about half of India. Israel’s urban population is more than 90 percent and lives in a limited area. Iran is well spread out and has mountains and sand. Israel is very vulnerable and can not survive without US support. That is why they do their bidding and not otherwise. All propaganda is run by US and Israel having leverage over US is intentionally circulated to absolves US from some nasty actions it is doing always. Here they have Netanyahu and in Russia Ukraine it is Zelensky, although there also everything goes on the direction of US.
In June 2025, US stopped the 12 day war because Israel requested US. US got a deal with Iran that they will bomb some empty areas and claim obliteration of nuclear facilities and you in turn can bomb some areas in Al Uided airbase after our soldiers have vacated. Now also they want to stop the war to save Israel. They only care for Israel because it is doing their bidding. They moved interceptors from Saudi Arabia and also from South Korea to Israel. There has been a constant traffic from its bases in Europe to Israel to transfer the military equipment. After ceasefire this transfer has gained speed.
Now, Iran put the condition that they would join talks only if Lebanon is part of the deal and after unfreezing their assets. Both of these conditions have been met and they have reached Islamabad for negotiations.
Mahesh Joshi @83, 84, 85,
All your satire is wasted on the Confused 80-year old Man-child. But it is a big relief that there is a pause. Let us hope it is not wasted.
Hans @88,
You must have some insider information. I am drawing your attention to the last para. The proof of the pudding is in eating. Let us see how it progresses. Neither Israel nor Lebanon are present in the talks. Israel stated that it and Lebanon are out of any deal. US confirmed Lebanon or Israel is not part of any peace talks. The logical reason is Lebanon is the state of Hizbullah. If you distinguish with Pakistan, it is Army with a State of Pakistan attached to it. They would now like to maintain that way. A couple of times in the past the Army became the state, but that experience was not very good, Having a state attached to it is like Donon haathon mein laddoo. They control the state and they have plausible deniability on terrorism. Lebanon has no such option – the proxy H has captured the state and H is also openly a terrorist organisation. So confusing, in a panel discussion one of the panelists mixed up the metaphor and said: Chaube gaye they dubey banane, chhabbe ban ke aaye. Until corrected by another panelist.
I read the whole thing on the surface. The D asked for the meeting. The principal Hornet agreed to it. D sent a 15-point demand which was rejected out of hand by the H. H in turn gave its own list of 10 demands, which he D considered “workable”. The world watches who blinks first.
AKji @ 89
You are right about the ineffectiveness of the discussion here, on someone who is impervious to sensible thinking. So it is time to say
Woh Afsana Jise Anjaam Tak Lana Na Ho Mumkin
Usei Ek Khoobsurat Mod Dekar Chhodna Achhaa 🙂
Mahesh Joshi,
I also hoped that the D was looking for a beautiful turn like Sahir Ludhiyanavi’s nazm. Now the teams have gone back, the T is happy, that it gets more time to finish off the proxy H’s while the D is forced into showing something with the main H. D is back to raving and ranting. Back to bad days, because any exit is very embarrassing for the D. The Queen H realises the deep hole the D is in, and is not willing to give him any face-saving. So the poor D has to bomb them into Stone Age.
Venkataramanji,
I had not seen the film or saw the song so I was unaware. Thanks for the info and a good comic song. Here is a song from Insaniyat, ‘raja beta bada hoke jayega school’. We have one such person as POTUS and another at home who does ‘pareeksha pe charcha’ though he does not appear to have done any serious exam.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ1N-aG7bRQ
AK,
I have no insider information. I come to conclusion based on my observation of various news and views of experts. I read and remember and also do not subscribe to the general propaganda and think on my own. They are not always right. In this matter, the talks in Pakistan were scheduled for Friday. American staff had arrived for that schedule to watch security measures. Iranians postponed the talks due to bombing in Lebanon, which was stopped by Israel after the first strike on Wednesday. That is why Iranians went for talks. In the meantime there was a news that Iranian assets has been un-frozen as a pre-condition. I only said that based on this information.
You have said that Hezbullah is a terrorist organisation. I dont know what is the definition of terrorism and who defines it. Hezbullah was born out of the indiscriminate bombing of Lebanon by Israel, as a counter. The film Ankhen (1968) was filmed in Beirut which was the Dubai of those times. But that city and the country has been destroyed by Israel ably supported by USA. US hired and deployed Osama Bin Laden and ISIS. Injured ISIS operators were treated in Israeli hospitals. Saddam was a creation of the US. All the tyrants of the past have found asylum in USA because they had huge assets in that country. Those who did not have assets there were killed. Shah of Iran was one and Maduro is the latest. People think he is arrested, but he is enjoying his life.
In this war, the Americans and Israelis have been bombing schools, universities and hospitals, but the declared terrorist regime of Iran has not bombed any of these in retaliation. They have reciprocated attacks on the infrastructure though. You can see which side is acting as terrorists.
Regarding the talks, the Americans do not believe in talks or give and take. They only know take, take and take. Talks are just a manoeuvre to re-arm, re-charge, re-position. This has been manifest in the talks on Russia-Ukraine war. Earlier during Vietnam war too they indulged in talks with the same objective. In the end they ran from there when the North Vietnamese army invaded South Vietnam and captured its capital Saigon. They flew in Helicopters stationed on roof-tops while people were waiting in thousands in streets. Similarly, they fled Afghanistan totally demoralised. There will be no different ending this time too. They will leave Middle East only after being badly humiliated. Even after ceasefire American and Israeli surveillance drones were flying on Iran to watch their activities. These were downed by Iranians. The Lebanon thing you know. There ships which had run away from the scene tried to enter the strait and changed direction after threats by Iranians.
America is by far the most deceitful, dishonest and cruel regime. Trump is just saying loudly in a direct language which was said by earlier Presidents in different language.
Mahesh Joshi, @
“saying she was never abused by Epstien.”
I think here she is absolutely right. Abuse could have two meanings here. One is the normal abuse which means rude words. This is out of the question because he always said ‘o, my dear’ ‘honey’ etc. The second abuse is sexual abuse. That applies only when a woman is sexually used against her will. But here she was a willing partner, so there was no abuse.
Hansji @ 95
Absolutely. Classic half truth – “नरो वा कुंजरो वा” (Naro vā kuñjaro vā) 🙂
