"These are the stars, look how close they are. They have been together for millions of years, but have never even touched each other, that's why their company is complete."

Translated from गुनाहों का देवता by Dharmveer Bharti

Dharmveer Bharti || धर्मवीर भारती.

Yellow Fiat

Weds

White Ambassador.

This morning,I woke up at midnight. In the bliss of solitude, a now favourite phrase of the economists while flogging a dead horse economy, "visibility of the green shoots", flashed upon my inward eyes.The green shoots of rhyming pretensions, in my case, were first visible during my college days. The poetess mother of one of my friends, named him after the great writer and poet, "Ram Lal Shukla", with the hope that he,too,would grow up to be like him.But, he took great pains to request all and sundry to call him "Ramesh Shukla". One day he came to me ,moon struck,and said " पीली फिएट पर देखा मैंने चाँद का टुकड़ा",a take on the Dharmveer Bharti's " ठेले पर हिमालय". Well, the rhyming green shoots burst right forth in me and I added, "बहुत कोशिश की मगर कुछ ना उखड़ा", which was to prove a prophetic line. Poor Ramesh.. his centre of attraction, the Yellow Fiat, was soon married off to a white Ambassador. We had to counsel the heart broken Ramesh, over several"Half Coffees" at Firayalal Chowk and in the process another ditty was composed to fill him with hopes for a brighter future, " सितारों से आगे जहाँ और भी हैं/ अभी इश्क के इंतहां और भी हैं/शुक्ल जी,कैम्पस में कुछ आइटम्स और भी हैं"..

Rhyming poetry takes many forms, some of those are Perfect Rhymes, Slant Rhymes etc. In this category there is also 'Pretension rhyming'.

The signs of rhyming pretensions, in my case, were first visible during my college days.

The poetess mother of one of my friends named him after the great writer and poet, "Ram Lal Shukla", with the hope that he, too, would grow up to be like him.

But, he took great pains to request all and sundry to call him "Ramesh Shukla" probably because of famous Ram Lal of Sholay movie.

One day he came to me , moon struck, and said " पीली फिएट पर देखा मैंने चाँद का टुकड़ा",a take on the Dharmveer Bharti's " ठेले पर हिमालय". Well, the rhyming green shoots burst right forth in me and I added, "बहुत कोशिश की मगर कुछ ना उखड़ा", which was to prove a prophetic line.

Poor Ramesh.. his centre of attraction, 'Yellow Fiat', was soon married off to a white Ambassador. We had to counsel the heart broken Ramesh, over several "Half Coffees" at Firayalal Chowk coffee shop and in the process another ditty was composed to fill him with hopes for a brighter future, " सितारों से आगे जहाँ और भी हैं/ अभी इश्क के इंतहां और भी हैं/शुक्ल जी,कैम्पस में कुछ आइटम्स और भी हैं"..

Man agr bahta rha to fir se wo raakh khi ghul jaayega.
