Sadar Charan Sparsh
A complete appraisal of te situation at hand.. a reflection of what you have been through all this while ever since your return.. a contemplation of your inner thoughts to be what you wish and for some reasons not able to deliver.. a post that summarises the state of mind in no uncertain terms..
I see that the post tries to address many such issues.. the reconnect.. the schedule on return from Singapore.. the attention that family and business deserves.. the thought of being able to think about the future of the industry amidst all this and above all the intense desire t accomplish what has not been possible..
I would rather hesitate to advise you.. still being a member of the FmXt.. being an almost continuous source of comments over here.. and also being one of the great admirers of your achievements.. I Abhaya Sharma.. feels that what has been made possible by you on the blog.. the kind of attachment and association that you have developed with us.. you do not have to prove us a point or two.. be assured that in the kind of extensively busy schedule and issues to attend you have been more than adequate in being with us for great amount of time.. your dedication to the blog and the people over here does not need any certification.. if that be the right word.. I know it is not.. you are not here to seek rewards and recognition.. you are not here by force.. you are also not here to get yourself amused and be appraised.. you are here brother for that bond.. oh no.. not the chemical bond.. you are here because of the love hat you have received from us over the years.. you are here for the constant and continuous creativity that has been reflected largely on your part and in smaller denominations from us too.. you are here as it is a breathing point for you.. you are here as one needs to feed oneself to get the physical energy.. you need us would be incorrect that we need you and you oblige is nearly perfect..
S bhaai.. take your own time management skills to deliver as and when is possible.. I for ne has never been an enthusiast for the yellow bands.. same may not be true for several others and expectation to hear something personal from you becomes something to cherish as a reward for the association wit the blog.. if you permit me.. the people who had been writing here do wish that a reconnect is possible atleast in words though they would have expected a physical union with you.. oh! don't misunderstand me with the words.. a union always does not mean t be between the two opposite sex.. that I call as lust and not the love.. love for me would mean that you have us in your thought think of us as a part of the family, of a group.. of a band of brotherhood..
May I thus conclude this post.. I do not how far I have been able to reassure you with our expectations.. with your dedication and determination.. yet it would be incomplete if I do not suggest you to not take the 838485 route again.. and yes brother.. I may not feel envious of Rochelle or a Daisy M yet I would say that there are far too many who contribute here more significantly.. if you do mention their names in your posts it does hurt to see tha others are not able to find such a place.. mai apni baat to kar hi nahi raha.. mai kisi aur ka naam bhi nahi le raha.. mai yah bhi nahi kah raha ki aap baaki logon ka naam lo.. kyonki yah sambhav hi nai hai.. you should abstain from including the names of any people i the posts and let that be a uniform policy for all with no exceptions.. aap kah rahe hoge kaisi behudi baat karate ho.. mai kiske liye likhun ya kiske liye nahi likhun yah bataane ka haq tumko kab aur kisane de diya..aap jo bhi samajhe.. mera matlab kisi ki tarafdaari se katai nahi hai.. ek baat jahan mein aai aur maine aap se kah dee.. yah to aap par hi nirbhar karta hai ki aap use kis sense mei treat karte hai.. gile-shikwe jaisa ismein kuchh hai nahi aur aapse kabhi koi gila nahi.. aur shayad kabhi ho bhi na.. mai jaanta hoon ki aapne aisa mauka na kabhi diya hai.. na bhavishya mei aap kabhi doge.. yahi to aapki ek bahut badi khoobi hai..
A purely affectionate

PS kabhi kabhi mere dil mei khayaal aata hai.. the nazm was the most beautifully rendered by you in the movie.. and we also know that you have a good recitation powers as well.. then could I suggest that you find some time to render such Nazms and poetry more often.. not for just earning more money.. yet for providing us with an additional source of inspiration.. The way Madhushala has immortalised Dr. Bachchan.. let its rendition or rendition of some other great poets works be a part of some sort of compilation from you in your own highly affluent voice.. bhaai.. mazaa aa jayega.. isase badhakar koi bhi return gift hum logo ko aapse nahi chahiye..

Yun Teri Rahaguzar Se Divanavar गुज़रे
यूँ तेरी रहगुज़र से दीवानावार गुज़रे
कांधे पे अपने रख के अपना मजार गुज़रे
बैठे रहे हैं रस्ते में दिल का खंडहर सजा कर
शायद इसी तरफ़ से एक दिन बहार गुज़रे
बहती हुई ये नदिया घुलते हुए किनारे
कोई तो पार उतरे कोई तो पार गुज़रे
तू ने भी हम को देखा हमने भी तुझको देखा
तू दिल ही हार गुज़ारा हम जान हार गुज़रे
मीना कुमारी नाज़
Puchhate Ho To Suno Kaise Basar Hoti hai
पूछते हो तो सुनो कैसे बसर होती है
रात खैरात की सदके की सहर होती है
साँस भरने को तो जीना नहीं कहते या रब
दिल ही दुखता है न अब आस्तीन तर होती है
जैसे जगी हुई आँखों मैं चुभें कांच के ख्वाब
रात इस तरह दीवानों की बसर होती है
गम ही दुश्मन है मेरा गम ही को दिल ढूँढता है
एक लम्हे की जुदाई भी अगर होती है
एक मरकज़ की तलाश एक भटकती खुशबु
कभी मंजिल कभी तम्हीद-ऐ-सफर होती है

The Question of the God and Belief
I return immediately after serving the baasi post.. like baasi eid.. yet I know there is no harm.. this post was wrietten in th very-very late hours and some people like me.. who do not return to previous day.. nothing wrong in that.. beeti tahi bisaar de aage ki sudhi leya.. The imperative here is not for seeking their approval.. the implementation was for more f them to know me little better.. to know me with all my limtations.. to understand that I have no one reason to remember few and forget the new.. to be able to give an assurance to you that you still indeed are the central character of this blog.. that it is because of my love for you that I too have got some love from not alone you but hunfreds of the ones who are just like me..
I think and strongly feel that your blog is more of a temple or a mosque or even a church where we all go with some faith on our mind.. with some ways to express ourselves unto you as we would have probably done to some we think of as God..
Now Rochelle, even if god does not exist.. I would still look for him.. I would still go some distance in search of him.. no, no not to just pray and seek his blessings alone.. I need to thank him for inspiration to write here on this blog.. to be able to express thanks to all his creations in me and you and the loving human beings that are coming here too..
Even if God does not exist.. I do not mind to believe in him.. for simple belief in him raises the love factor in me.. the belief in him drives me forward to be a better human being.. the same belief helps me in treating myself and others with little more dignity.. we may or may not hae been his creations.. despite being a scientist I still can not answer some vwery fundamental questions where did we all come from.. whether a man or a woman emerged on this beautiful earth.. whether it was the hen or was it the egg that really came first.. whether we all came in our original shapes or we were evolutionary burst..like they say that we are the descendants of the monkeys.. is there any input that could go and prove it.. prove how really life came to earth.. water they say was a molecule of life.. and so did they find it on the moon’s surface yesterday.. why on moon no life existed.. what went where when big bang drifted.. no my dear friend.. I am not here to argue or try convert you.. that would be the last thing that Abhay would ever do..
I know you have faith.. even if you express it other way.. the moment you act in a certain way and not otherwise atleast I know that you have faith in being human and t live like humans.. yet many a greats commit some silly mistakes..Everybody knows that life is short.. and we do not know if get it once more.. still we talk of rebirths and the sort.. oh! what unnecessary argument I have got into with someone I really love.. no, there is no condition in my mnd that I shall love only those who love me.. that is should talk of only those who talk of me.. I know I can not reply to everyone I love.. so I tell my God to tell them such (the english as well as hindi such)..
Bhaai, if I have been unkind, unfair or unpleasnt to anyone I know I am a simple human being first.. like all others I too have my own share of bad and or even good luck.. what constitutes luck.. why we all have different fate.. why are some born as cats and some are born to love the cats.. Daisy M is smiling she has recently adopted the big cat her dream.. and that she thinks that it is the tiger in you.. (sorry.. sorry.. for going into the secret desires of others..).. why do we desire anyone eh.. and why do we desire different things too.. Will it be ever possible for a man to know what is good for one may be bad for some.. They say one man’s meat is another man’s poison.. or some such things..
I know Rochelle is fuming over me.. for my bullish remarks.. dear it is not directed unto you.. I was just talking to my ownself rather than anyone of you..
Yeah! I realise it has not come good.. we should not ask questions which we can not answer.. we should not raise doubts that can never be cleared.. we should simply survive and continue to live the way we have been living this life.. no attachments.. no affection.. no passions.. and definitely no obsessions for anything we like..
I come to an abrupt end.. yet I shall not deprive the ones who love music and love it too well.. they are right.. music is really a thing to love..
Mian pyaar ka raahi hoon
Tum ek musafir ho
Mai pyaar ka raahi hoon..
Sorry folks I could not get a link to this original song on youtube.. here is a link for it.. it just shows Rafi and Asha.. that is good enough for people like me.. who love the song than its picturisation..

Dedicating this song to Bright Shobhit Kaushal!
Manna De song for my Dost-Didi (Kashmira Di) and rest of the blog friends too.. Brother aap bhi sun sakate ho.. I could not find the link with picturised version of the song..
Apne liye jiye to kya jiyee-dil tu jee zamaane ke liye..bujhate diye jalaane ke liyetu jee e-dil zamaane ke liye..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS_78do6Lzs&feature=player_embedded#t=40
and in essence it just says..
what use is it to just live for one’s own selfoh! my heart just live for the rest of the world
Love this song.. no, singing Manna Dey is much more diffciult for me.. than singing a Mukesh Ji’s or Kishore da’s song..
Abhaya
If we can light a small candle, hold a gentle flower, whisper an affection towards the other, what a wonderful world we could create.
Wonderful Brother! Wonderful thoughts !! and Wonderful Expectations !!!
I need to touch your feet and seek blessings that I too am able to imbibe some of tese wonderful feelings into my existence.. I seek thy blessings that many others are able to look at the world that you do.. that we could only bring some harmony in our surroundings.. that we could extend brotherhood in a sense of belonging to this world.. as a matter of fact this shall in no uncertain terms give peace a chance to prevail amongst us amongst our races, amongst different cultures and religions and pave the path for a beautiful existence in simple yet strong inhabitants of this earth..
I do struggle at times to put forth my views as clear as I would have loved to.. but not today.. today I am convinced.. today I am having faith.. today I am enlightened by the path you have shown.. I am confident that many amongst the FmXt would have loved to epxress their solidarity in your above comments.. that many would have felt much the same way as I do as I write these wrods.. some may give much more meaningful words to express themselves, some may just act as expected and exhibit exemplary behaviour for others to follow.. I follow your words and understand the divinity in your thoughts and expectations..
You brother may not be the messenger of the god.. you brother may not be a messiah.. you may also not be one of the Kabeer or Mahatma.. but today I feel you are above all those decorations when you express your such desires as has been the subject of this post.. I am overwhelmed by the fact that how well you are able to express yourself in simple words yet express yourself quite strongly.. it is a rare quality.. a quality that we did see in the 1935 creation of Madhushala by Dr. Bachchan.. the same rare quality which made Mohandas Karmachand Gandhi the Mahatma.. and also the great patriotic feeling that our beloved Bhagat Singh displayed in his fight against the British.
If I sound sycophantic so be it.. I am not afraid of being labelled thus anymore.. If I sound a little too optimistic so be it.. I am fond of being optimistic henceforth.. If I sound extravagant with my words.. I say I wish to be much more extravagant..
Today I wish to dedicate myself to this noble cause of living for not ourselves alone but for others.. what if the others constitute an unknown unseen folks.. it does not matter anymore.. what if I may not be able to say what I want to say to them on personal emails or a letter or over phone.. it again does not concern me anymore.. what if have just this blog to send the signals of empathy and to pray for the well being of others.. it certainly does not restrict me anymore..
I Abhaya Sharma herewith announce that I have great faith in the thoughts and beliefs of my mentor, my great brother and an outstanding individual amongst our generation.. the Amitabh Bachchan of this world .. I shall not indulge in any divisive acts of human race knowingly or unknowingly.. I shall love every living being on this earth without any discriminations or differences.. I shall work towards a goal for the well being of my surroundings as best as possible in my own limited capacity.. I pray to the almighty to give me strength.. to provide me the light when there is darkness surrounding me.. to be able to execute and implement my intense desire to walk on the path of humanity.. to be able to promote peace, harmony and brotherhood as much as possible and sometimes beyond my capacity..
मेरे अधरों पर जो
गीत तुम्हारे होते
तुम होते मेरे न होते
गीत तुम्हारे मेरे होते
हे मीत तुम्हारे गीत
मधुर कितना इनका संगीत
चली आई है जग में रीत
गीत संगीत में बसती प्रीत
चलो कर ले इस जग से प्रीत
जन्म दें एक नया फिर गीत
प्रीत का प्रण करता संगीत
मधुर है कितने मेरे मीत ।
अभय शर्मा
I know I can not translate the above and still retain the intensity of the message.. I am not trained to do that.. even the trained ones can not do much justice in some cases.. all I can provide here for my dearest Rose, Rochelle and Rasha is ..
If I could ever sing
the songs composed by you
eve if you were not mine
your songs would have been
Oh my friends your songs
how much they ooze with love
it is the ritual of this world
in music alone the love exists
come let us all love this world more
create new song with some new words
the song that promises just pure love
how blissful would be !
Abhaya Sharma
I see a faint smile on your face brother as you first read the Hindi and than the English.. and conspicuously smiling how inadequate I had been able to express myself in English even in essence.. what to do.. I have not been trained to think and write in English.. even after fifty years and about 9 out of the 10 years I tried and tried my best to be able to use English as best as possible.. it does not come around.. the thinking and creating poetry for me would always be have to be in Hindi alone.. it is a different matter that it may still lack substance.. it may still not be able to express my hidden intense desire.. it may not turn out to be loved by others.. still my limitatons are all well known to me.. So Sis Rose, Carla and Zhenya you would need to forgive your this Hindi brother for not being able to express himself in an international language as well as in his own mother tongue.. I know Carla is whispering to Zhenya.. chalo maaf kiya.. and Zhenya tells Rose.. koi baat nahi dost.. and Sis Rose nodding at their words.. theek hai abhaya bhai.. theek hai..
I hope my three friends did enjoy the little conversation.. actually speaking I simply used name to make it interesting.. to me the three of them simply represent the good people on this earth.. They could as well have been replaced by anyone who does not understand Hindi.. and some of them are from India as well.. (Oh I did not realise this was a sort of post script.. that sounds like the return of old Abhaya Sharma.. who would never know that he had finished or expressed that he had been done with his post ad still goes on talking to all of you.. I am sorry I am not in control of my own..
My love to all.. may Goddess Durga bless you all

वतन की ख़ाक में मिल कर
चमन की राख बन जाऊं
कभी जागूं यही जागों
यहीं फिर थक के सो जाऊं
उम्र सारी गुजारी इन्हीं किनारों पर
किए सज़दे इसीके दर-दीवारों पर
है नाज़ अपने हिंद के मुझको नजारो पर
कहीं कैसे चला जाऊं भला तेरे इशारों पर
एक सीने में धड़कता दिल भी है
अमन की चाह में दिन -रात वो जलता भी है
चल वतन के दिल से मेरे दिल तू दिल्लगी करले
आज बन्दों से खुदा के फिर तू बंदगी करले
तमन्ना हसरतों के जाल से बहलाया गया हूँ
नगमा-e-नूर -e-वतन से फिर नहलाया गया हूँ
नही है हाल की , दिल का मेरे , अब हाल आगे क्या होगा
जो ख़ुद बे-हाल हो उसका भला बे -हाल हाल क्या होगा

My deepest condolences to Shobhit’s Family. He was a star on this earth who made us realise how to face difficulties and keep on smiling. He has now become a star in the beautiful sky. His paintings and poems were inspiring too. God bless his soul and give his family the strength to bear his loss. May his soul rest in peace. He must have been very satisfied to have met you.You gave him such a lot of happiness.
Thank you for sharing.
Divya, Canada (#46)
That’s some very sad news about Shobhit …although it was bound to happen…with such an advanced stage of cancer …God rest him in Peace. Reminds me of my younger sister who had passed away all of a sudden…just in a jiffy…accidental death

I felt so bad on hearing Shobhit’s passing. I have never met the man, but upon seeing his work, and after what you wrote, I do feel sad. I am sure he is in a better place, devoid of any pain.

Reeham expresses sorrow on his death .. (#62)
The most wonderful Shobhit passed away.. ;( .. i do feel a deepest sorrow.. even it is predictable .. but it is just a great pain i’m feeling right now.. a new one is added to mine.. i wasn’t willing to talk about my pain as i didn’t want to spoil the mood of the blog.. but i just can’t help it after hearing about Shobhit who had passed just like a morning breeze… and left a deep effect on both heart and soul by his paintings and poets..

Shobita (#69)
When I read about Shobhit’s passing my head literally started hurting. Very sad! But at least his torments are past now and hopefully his next phase will be a better one.There was a bang inside my head when I read those lines about Shobhit’s passing because I was thinking about him since yesterday and was planning to ask you for any news about him today
Lyudmila (#71)
Bharati Sharma (Millie) (#74)
Very sad to hear the demise of Shobhit Kaushal, the child with unique talent, gift of God. I pray to the Almighty God, ‘May his soul rest in peace’ may his family have the strength to face the situation
Pratap Singh Tomer (#79)
Dear Shobhit Kaushal ,
Brother, may you be born again and this time as child of Abhi & Ash with the same talent & energy and fill the void space which is now empty since you left us to be with the almighty, what a gift it would be to Mr.Bachchan Sr and Jaya Ji and we will always remember you as the greatest fan ever of Mr.Bachchan, infact in true and honest senses Mr.Bachchan and we all are your life long fans.
I am sure where ever you are my brother, my true feelings will reach you and you will respond.
Come back….we miss you Shobhit.
Purvi (#80)
So sorry to hear about Shobhit Kaushal- may his soul rest in peace.
Rose C (#81)
So sad to hear of Shobhit Kaushal. So young and so much to live for. But I somehow take comfort in knowing he is not in pain anymore. I remember you saying he was in so much pain before. He is the third death I have been made aware of today. Life, so uncertain, so much anguish for all us to go through…and the only certain thing as of now is death itself…sad isn’t it??
Jankar (#82)
Shobhit will be in my prayers and may his soul rest in peace.
Salil Dalal (#83)
Very sad to know about Shobit.
I was happy that you have not used the crude western term ‘Died’ and has said “passing away of Shobit”.This phrase ‘To pass away’ or ‘guzar gaye’ is an Indian gift to the world which means the soul of the person is constantly on the move and around us.He passed by this world and has now moved to another world… thats our philosophy.
Daisy M (#84)
Joining everyone in the sadness at the loss of Shobhit Kaushal, and the fervent hope that he is now at peace after bringing so much beauty and inspiration to the lives of others.

Thank you for introducing Shobhit to us. May his soul rest in peace. May God grant his parents the strength to carry on.

Sad to hear about Shobhit, not so long ago he was in my thoughts.May his soul rest in peace.My sincere sympathy to his family.

I shall pray for the soul of Shobhit Kaushal. Very sad news indeed.
Carla (#99)
Very sadly from Shobhit Kaushal to hear, its pictures and poems made so much joy for us.But we should think to Shobhit, now he deliverance from the strong pain. Prayers for Shobhit and its family.
Deeapak Bhardwaj (#102)
So sorry to hear about Shobhit Kaushal . Want to say something more about him and his departure from this world but can’t find the words……….
Rajesh from Los Angles (#103)
Very sad to hear about Shobit. My deepest condolences to Shobhit’s Family.
Brenda (#105)
The news of Shobhit’s passing was very sad indeed, he was a courageous young man but I’m sure he went home very happy after getting his chance of meeting you and gifting you his paintings, that would have filled his heart with joy. He is at peace now and with Our Lord.
Suroma Sinha (#106)

Its sad to know that Shobhit is no more. May the talented soul rest in peace.
Priyanka Verma (#157)
Very sad to hear about Shobhit kaushal.He had a remarkable gift from God. Great talent.
( There would have been more comments for him which I might have missed diue to misspelt name.. I did pick up one or two which came to my views.. so please do not assign any political reasoning to that.. I am not going to gain anything from his death other than the departed soul to know I care for him.. I love him.. I respect his work.. that some of it is going to be with you.. )

Sad to know that Shobhit Kaushal has paased away.May GOD peace his soul .
Vikas Murarka (#171)
Really heartbreaking to hear about Shobhit. What a wonderful talent at such a young age and snatched away even yonger. May his soul rest in peace and God provide his family with strenght through this difficult time.
Tumpa Ghosh (#173)
It’s shoking news, Shobhit is no more, I can’t believe it, I havenever met him, still I’m feeling so sad, I pray for the strength for his parents and other family members to bear the pain, no word is enough to console parents for the loss of their children. I pray for the peace of his soul.
Kashmira Grewal (#176)
Since the past week, my thoughts were incessantly preoccupied with Shobhit and Pramod….and I had this uneasy feeling that….my deep condolences to Shobhit’s family….it is definitely a reprieve for him, but his parents will live with the grief of having lost their child in the prime of his life, as long as they live! May no parent ever have to go thru this ……..we have lost a child in our family too - my elder brother-in-law’s daughter - all of 21 yrs old…..she had a tumour in the brain, and I see how the family is still struggling deep within, to come to terms with their terrible fate - on the surface, everything seems normal to the undiscerning eye, but 13 yrs down the line, the parents are still struggling to overcome their loss! May He give Shobhit’s parents the strength and the succour to deal with this terrible blow.
Mario Andrew Rodrigues (#180)
Sorry to hear about Shobhit.Surely his soul rests in peace in Gods Kingdom. At this emotional time, we ask for Gods strength and courage to his Parents and all family members and friends to understand and moreover accept Gods mighty plans which we humans , due to our weakness, find it strange and difficult at times to understand.

Good evening!
I did not get the courage to talk to you later today when I found that your father's voice was little husky in the morning and he gave me another mobile number to call which was coming busy!
It is all right my dear friend. I did get to talk to you the other day before going to the exhibition of your paintings at Art & Soul, Worli. I must thank Shri Pritam ji for the help in both these matters!
I wish to sing along some more songs with you!
1. Jis pal nayanon mein spana teraa aaye
us pal mausam mein mehandi rach jaaye
( Your question tell me the first lines and the name of the movie)
2. Tum jo kah do to aaj ki raat chand dubega nahi
raat ko rok lo raat ki baat hai aur zindagi..
( Name the movie, actors and actress on whom it is picturised and the beginning of the song)
3. Tum jo no sunate kya gaata main
bebas hokar rah jaata main
( Now this is a difficult song so a simple question which singer has sung this song!)
ki jal ke main raakh ho chuka hoon
( Tell me the male singer and the movie! and of course how the song starts!)
5. Yeh na socho isamein apni haar hai ki jeet hai
ise apana lo yahi jeevan ki reet hai
(Movie, beginning, actor and actress!)
I think I should not tax you so much with songs and quizzes, but then I have decided that I would use this day 335 irrespective of some people objecting to my pouring of emotions a political gambit. You Know I am a government servant I can not even support any party openly, even if i wish to do so! and of course, I am happy the way I am a simple ordinary government servant, who travelled by BEST (despite having a car!), I think I was right in asking for a discount for the A human, is being born - the booklet containing a miniature version of some major paintings and the book containing several poems by you!
sab kuchh ek din mein to padh nahi sakata, I will let you know my reactions later.
Yes, I did a posture on you at facebook, and I also discovered that some Shobhit Kaushal does exist at FB and does appear to be similar to you! Is that you! I know you are not connected to Internet, moreover, you gave better things to do than sit on Facebook. So when do we expect another painting form you, or another painting exhibition..
I think it is quite sometime now that i must stop this conversation here, you must be feeling a bit tired too! reading such long post, I only assume that you are able to get to read these contents, i shall post some of the other people's comment from here to you! let that be surprise!

Dearest Shobhit,
A very Good morning my friend,
or rather my poet cum painter friend!
In true spirits, I tried to find trains that could take me to you for enlightenment of me in person from you! That has not been met with success, not as of now! I was prepared to travel sitting in Garib Rath, even that is full! Such are the times we live in that I am not in a position to take a flight. But you keep the fight on ! We can safely assume that it may be quite a difficult process to make some more paintings for us! yet I know what you can do is ask some close ones to write and type out your thoughts in that most poetic fashion in which you wrote, I have some questions for you, my lord or Listen to me, My friends or even Hold my hand or Love. They are all as beautiful as your paintings!
We are blessed to have a talent like you around and at the same time quite unfortunate to be living in the fear of loosing you too soon! Could there be some other intermittent arrangement in God's plans! Could he not for once change his rules and grant you an extension for few more years. Though I am sure you would not want to leave us let me tell you and assure you of the fact that your work is indeed going to live with us, forever! Take courage my friend from the fact that world is still abundant with some very good people as has been displayed here by so many that to name individuals here would not be seemingly possible for me. I am sure that many others would write for you on day 335 for the sake of you!
I am indeed indebted to brother having met you- that some day I would be able to meet him and find out more about youi in person. I would rather see if my dearest cousin Dr. Neerja and her husband Dr. Vijay Kumar Dubey could meet you on my behalf and convey my thoughts to you in person. Only I would need to find your whereabouts in Kanpur. It should not be so very difficult!
Here I would love to sing along few songs with you!
1. Duniya banane wale kahe ko duniya banaai
2. Ajab tune reet rachi re bhagwaan paap kare paapi bhare punyavaan
3. Yeh kaun chitrakaar hai yeh kaun chitrakaar
4. Chale jaana zara thaharo kisi ka dil machalata hai..
5. Jaise suraj ki garmi se jalte huye tan ko mil jaaye taruvar ki chhaya
6. Koi jab raah na paaye mere sang aaye ki pag-pag deep jalaye meri dosti mera pyaar
7. Maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapane chune sapane sureele sapane
There could be many more but then I am sitting here as helpless as one could feel in not able to listen to my heart to be able to meet you before it is too late! Excuse me friend, I fi am not able to fulfill my earlier promise of meeting you phyiscally, you are always in my thoughts and there you shall remain for very long times!

Post Script : And My sincere thanks to JagUthaInsaan - maybe what you say is true for me and I shall respect your words! Yes I did not know of Kaushal before, not many here did know of him before brother unfolded his story. I understand your point of view! Thanks again for reminding me of my inabilities!

Respected Brother,
Shastang Pranaam,
I think I have got some courage within me to fight the gods today1 maybe i can ask more questions of him of his laws of nature- maybe I could also ask him why did he first create such beautiful people if he wanted to take them away so soon!
Yet Before I go and complain to him, I would ask him to give me courage to go and hold his (Shobhit's) hand, to give me inner desire to be able to sing a song for him, to provide me that blissful smile that I could make him smile too! I would ask him to give me enough wisdom to not pity him but respect his work of art and poetry. yes, Shobhit, as I expected your poetry too was of the same high order as of your paintings!
If you are able to get this message to you, believe me we shall definitely meet soon, I can not say how soon but pretty soon, you got to hang around till then and I would love to sing any of the song from old Hindi movies. Whichever you say, I may not have much of a voice but I am told I sing from my heart -
Jo tumko ho pasand wohi baat karenge is my one of my most favourite song! if you like some other let me know, i shall come prepared so that we could sing along to the world!
Dear Shobhit,
Keep waiting for me dear friend, I shall come to hold your hand which had made such beautiful paintings! I will come to see the smile on your face so that we all could smile along with you! I shall also come to possibly get some of your dreams fulfilled! I shall come to find out more about your these beautiful paintings as I do not understand too much of art yet I can tell them to be great piece of art work! You definitely would not mind to explain to me with whatever means when we meet! Maybe I shall come to meet you around 15th of April or after 20th April.
Love, smiles and my hand in your hands till we get to meet!

Dear Shobhit Kaushal,
Th brave young artist! ( I still have to read your poetry!)
I was so impressed with your work that before reading your work I wanted to say a few words for your extraordinary work of art. Superb, sensational and highly sentimental. Now i am not a great connoisseur of works of art yet I could say that they were indeed out of this world experience for me. Truly great work!
May God Bless you with atleast some more time in this world so that you are aware of how much respect and love you have deserved through your work. No, not for your terminally ill condition. I would not like to pity someone who is so brave and so non-chalant in his approach to the life.
The glory be yours for today and for the time that God has granted you on this earth, only if it could be extended a little beyond than the perception of the medical experts, I would thank and salute the Gods! I am convinced though that physical existence has much less meaning and the kind of paintings you have left for us would always remain a sweet memory of someone as talented and dignified as you! I haven't read the poems yet I only saved them for reading shortly!
I don't know if I had come across someone as vibrant in his paintings at such a young age. These works are poetry in themselves, I can guess what the poetry would contain! Oh! no, I must say whether I had come across such a determined person as you who had wanted to live his life with all its terms and conditions unfolded of its nearing end! I salute your work and I also appreciate your interest and determination to be able to meet Babu Moshay - as if just to say - Babu Moshay, main abhi marna nahi chahta! I wish that the manufacturer upstairs listens to us and grants him some powers to save lives like yours! He like us is a human being too yet he has defeated death twice around and the first time was some 28 years back!
I know, by meeting Amitabh Bachchan, one thing you would have definitely felt that a strong determination can even defeat the sure death! How much do I wish that science had progressed to conquer Cancer yet despite so much of efforts and endeavour of scientists world over there is very minimal progress in terms of a cure! some cases have been solved to extend the life and few other types of cancers have been extended a better quality of life!
I do not know what kind of cancer do you have, and what are the oipinions of the doctors on your present condition, but the kind of description that accompanies brother's description of this post - it is quite a grave situation!
I am with you Shobhit, I shall always remember having met you through your paintings on display by brother Amitabh here. No, I have not let my eyes fail me this time, I have got some strength from your inner strength and am able to face your condition little boldly!
Brother, if possible please do provide us the address of Shobhit, my dearest sister, my closest cousin is in Kanpur and had been asking me to come and meet her for last 25 years of her marriage. I may finally go to see her with the hope of meeting you in the process! I am sure it would give me lot of strength to be able to just meet him even if I have nothing to say! Even if I have no solution to offer, even if I am as helpless as the rest of us! Or even if you do not have much time to meet us. I shall make an attempt to meet you!
Shobhit, if you could get to read the blog here, I would keep in touch with you through this blog till I am one day successful to come and meet you! like so many of others would have wished. As I was scampering down to write these comments I did get a glance of what sister Rose had to say! I shall read her later!
I would only pray to God to give you a quality life for as long as you are with us, hopefully few more years and brother continue your good work as much as possible, it shall make you immortal!
Love and great feeling of attachment, You need to wait for me a bit though! I know you would not mind!
A well wisher
