काश......

कहीं
किसी भाषा में
कोई तो शब्द ऐसा होता
जो यहाँ के भाव
जस का तस
वहाँ तक पहुंचा देता
पर ये खेद की बात है, 
ऐसा होता नहीं है...

शब्दों की अपनी सीमाएं हैं...
अपने बंधन हैं...
और जब यूँ चलते हैं शब्द
एक स्थान से अपने गंतव्य की ओर
तो मार्ग में
और भी अन्य ध्वनियाँ
साथ हो लेती हैं,
या कभी कभी
ऐसा भी होता है-
कुछ ध्वनियाँ छिटक जाती हैं
मूल शब्द से;
अपनी समग्रता में तो शब्द
नहीं ही पहुँचते हैं
मंजिल तक!

सम्प्रेषण की सारी समस्याएं
और इन समस्यायों से
जन्म लेने वाली
अन्य भिन्न समस्याएं...
जाने
क्या उपचार है इसका?

शब्द अपना काम करें,
पर शब्द और भाषा से परे भी
एक ज़मीन हो...
जहाँ मौन में बात हो जाए...
आपसी समझ और सहजता की वह निधि हो
जो हर कठिन परिस्थिति में
समाधान लेकर अवतरित हो पाए...
काश!

Bollywood's Best Comedian | Johnny Walker Tabassum Talkies

This video from the channel Tabassum Talkies is a tribute to the legendary Bollywood comedian, Johnny Walker. The host, Tabassum, shares personal anecdotes and insights into the actor's life and career.

Here are the key points from the video:

• The Paradoxical Comedian: Tabassum begins by noting the irony that Johnny Walker, despite his on-screen persona (often associated with being intoxicated, as seen in the clip of the song Jangal Mein Mor Naacha [01:00]), never touched alcohol in his real life [00:33]. He lived his life in a state of khumaar (intoxication/joy) without drinking [00:44].

• Off-Screen Life and Struggle: The host recalls working with Johnny Walker in many films and doing several live shows across India and the world [02:53]. Johnny Walker shared that his life was a constant struggle: first to earn a living, then to make a name, and finally to maintain the position he had achieved in the industry [03:08].

• Family Life: Tabassum reveals that Johnny Walker married the younger sister of the famous actress Shakila [03:33]. His wife's name was Noor, and he also worked with her in several films [03:39].

• Philosophy on Life: The comedian believed that every person's life has three phases: childhood, youth, and old age [04:11]. He expressed a great fondness for childhood, which he called the best phase [04:17].

• On Old Age: He described old age (Budhapa) as a difficult period that doesn't go away easily and never comes alone, bringing many illnesses with it [05:05].

• Humility and Principles: Johnny Walker was a humble person who often credited God's grace (Allah ka karam) for his success, reminding people that he started his life as a simple bus conductor [05:24]. A key characteristic of his comedy was that he never resorted to cheap tricks or vulgar dialogues to make people laugh [05:42].

• Lasting Legacy: Tabassum concludes by stating that even today, watching his films and hearing his voice can instantly lift one's mood and relieve pain [05:58].
