कितना इतरा रहा होगा मुर्गा ?


मुर्गे ने कभी कल्पना भी नहीं की होगी कि उसकी ज़िदगी में एक ऐसा भी दिन आएगा । वो खाने की आज़ादी नाम की चिड़िया के लिए शहीद कहलाएगा । उसकी शहादत पर मर मिटने को नेता जुटेंगे । दबोचेंगे हाथ में उसकी टांग और लगाऐंगे बोली उसकी जान की , नोट नहीं वोट के लिए । जीते जी तो कुछ कर ना सका , मर के ही मुर्गा, बहस का मुद्दा तो बना । टीवी पर इतना चमकना यूं ही कहां नसीब होता । धर्म का तिलक कहां उसके माथे पर सजता । वो हिंदू मुसलमान कहां कहलाता । गर्व से सीना कई इंच बढ़ गया है , बताईऐ जो कोई ना कर सका, मुर्गे ने कर दिया।

 शिवसेना और एमएनएस एक साथ दिखे । दोनों ने अगल बगल दुकानें लगाकर मुंबई के लोगों की आज़ादी का विस्तार किया मुर्गी बेचकर । स्वाद पर मत जाईए, जज़्बे को देखिए । कहां तो मुर्गा किसी के हाथ में नहीं आता । पकड़ना तक दूभर, ऐसा भाग निकलता है आगे से । अब हाथ आया तो खाने की आज़ादी के नाम पर और हाथ हैं सियासत के । उसने अपने स्वाद से अच्छे अच्छों की तलब दूर की है पर जो राजनीति की भूख मिटा सके उस मुर्गे में कुछ तो बात होगी । वो लहुलुहान अक्सर हुआ स्वाद के लिए पर सियासत की बलि चढ़ना कहां हर किसी को कहां नसीब होता । उसकी जान तो जानी है, ऐसे भी जाएगी और वैसे भी । आज जाए कल जाए , उसने जान की कब परवाह की है । आज़ादी इन सबसे कहीं ज़्यादा बड़ी चीज़ होती है । उस आज़ादी के नाम पर मर मिट कर अब चैन से आंखें बंद कर सकता है मुर्गा । हर फिक्र , हर चिंता से मुक्ति । मुर्गे को तो मोक्ष मिल गया मुंबई में, अब आप सोचिए कि आप और हम कब तक खैर मनाऐंगे ..या फिर आवाज़ से हिचक निकालकर बोलेंगे कुछ।

 ...बोलिए सियासत मुर्गाबाद !

 मत नीलाम करो आज़ादी । मंडी में मत सजाओ निजी ख्वाहिशें । मेरे किचन से दूर रहो । मेरी थाली से भागो। खाने दो मन की ।

दोखना है तो हांफते रूपए की तरफ देखो, गिरते धंसते कारोबार पर नज़र डालो , नौकरियां ना मिलने पर युवाओं में बढ़ते आक्रोश को देखो , बिलखता किसान देखो। प्याज़ भी रूलाता है सरकारों को , मुर्गा बैन भी भारी पड़ रहा है , कहीं चिकन-दो-प्याज़ा गले की हड्डी ना बन जाए ।कौन सा वोटर किस बात पर नाराज़ हो जाए मेनू कार्ड से हाथ हटाओ।

Will Indrani face the Pari She was ?


Pari Bora of Guwahati is now a murder accused, Indrani Mukherjee. A life transformed beyond recognition . A life that stirs nightmares ! How far can you actually go in the quest for a vivid life ? Will the quest overpower you ? Strangulate your wisdom into making you a murder accused ?
Pori , she was fondly called in Guwahati. Pari wanted a fairy tale life and was convinced Guwahati could never give it her . She ran way from home when she was in class ten but unfortunately for her , she was caught at the Guwahati Railway station. She wanted to break free. Mundane was not her thing . Something was amiss ! There had to be a prince who would sweep her off her feet !

Her initial years were very tumultuous. Senior journalist Vir Sanghvi told TV Today that she had confided to him in later years that she was molested as a child by her stepfather . She had her children early . Indrani had her first child roughly at the age of less than twenty when most youngsters are heading towards their careers .This was a turning point . Pari was slowly Giving way to  Indrani Mukherjee. Her first child in a way became her first contamination with life values . No I don't intend to be judgemental. From here she realised she could lie to the world and severe all responsibilities she had towards those she gave birth to . She named the grandparents as the father and mother in their birth certificate . Left the children with them and moved on . Two failed marriages happened on the way .

Her quest ended and also began in a way with Peter Mukherjee , the media tycoon .A 15 year gap with the Prince dint matter to Indrani. Money , fame and power paved the way for a glamorous life , she always dreamed of  . She had built this life on numerous lies . The most dangerous one was making Sheena , her sister . This  Indrani  scares you.  This Indrani stirs hatred in a way for the life she thrust on her daughter . Sheena was forced to live in her Mother Indrani’s fake world on a fake existence . Forced to pretend that her mother was her sister.  22 years of Sheena's  existence were the most  heartbreaking one that you and I can imagine for any child . Sheena rebelled. Entered a live in relationship with her step brother , Rahul Mukherjee. And from here began the mother daughter bitterness . Wether it was the marriage plans of step siblings that led to honour killing or money dispute as many theories claim , the fake world built on a pack of lies threatened to destroy Indrani's world and she became a murder accused !
 Bill Gates said once "Success is a lousy teacher , it seduces people into thinking they can't lose ."
Success has  misled many . Complicated page 3 lives flirting with glamour , crime and money power have led to bizarre results. Many aspire for such lives . However,up close,very often , they are the rich and famous , yet ..ugly as hell are their lives . Murky and dingy. Devoid of sunlight! Ventilation is scanty. Outlets clogged . Incoming zone inaccessible . Current mood(read mood swing )  , the ultimate deciding authority on what is to be done next . Money and fame push them to live in a world of ultimate make belief which soon becomes fake by all human standards . Where children become a forgettable deed of the past , not welcome into the real world . They rise in money and power is meteoric but equally steep is their fall in valuing human relationships ! Relationships !

Husbands son and wife’s daughter , Step son and daughter out of wedlock !Stepson and sister/daughter ! The simplified version doing rounds on social media is - The second wife of her third husband is charged alongwith her second husband for killing her daughter from her first husband who was having an affair with her third husband's son from his first wife.... Relationships that sound like they emerge from some other planet.


 Indrani , once HR manager , once founder CEO of INX Media ,  once featured in Wall Street Journal’s list of ‘ 50 Women to watch out for" is now accused of murder . The murder of her own daughter in cold blood  . Motive will always be subject to various theories that emerge but the circumstances remain the ultimate and constant motive . The buzzing world of power and money , the fake world of the glitterati that leaves no scope for small things that bring real happiness. The ugly inside life of the powerful is the circumstantial motive .
Will Indrani face the Pari , she once was ! This crime will never die .
