Devastated and saddened by the passing away of actor supreme, IRFAN KHAN❤️❤️❤️❤️..... A brilliant actor, par excellence, he brought back natural effortless non mannerisms acting previously seen only in tne likes of Balraj Sahni , Moti Lal etc. I first saw him on television in tne serial Banegi Apni Baat, many moons ago. Since then he has been a favourite. Not an age to go... just 53..... but God had other plans.... he will be deeply missed .... “Always”....
REST IN PEACE IRFAN❤️❤️ you were a braveheart.

I have penned a poem for him which came impromptu.... it may not be good poetry but it is sheer emotions and love for him. Ignore the flaws please🙏🙏

Ek aansoo aankh se tapak hee aayaa
Koi rishtaa nahin thaa par shaayad nikal hee aayaa

Behtareen adaakaar aur Insaan thaa woh
Dil ke kissi konay se woh apnaa nikal aayaa

Umr nahin thee abhi jaanay kee bilkul
Par Khuda kou uss par reham naa aayaa

Shaayad Khudaa bhee pachtaa rahaa thaa
Kyun itnaa behtareen insaan banaa kay duniya mein bhijwaaya

Cheen kar uskou apnee godh mein bithaaya
Pyar se uskaa maatha sehlaaya

Yaadon kay manzar pay chodh kay humkou
Rishtaa khudaa nay Irfaan se banaaya

Yehi dua hai sukoon say rehna
Ab jo chalay gayae hou tou dukh say pallaa jhaadh lena

Nijaad paa lena har dard say tum
Khuda kee godh mein chaain say rehna

This is sheer Bliss!!!!!!!!!!!.....Ultimate truth of life....Listen to it without distraction and you get the gist of life,the human form we have got...The absolute truth of life told beautifully and simply,if one were to follow it life would be bliss.....complete....noteworthy......and accomplished.Wherever the word Nanak has been used,it is in context as a Narrator or as a disciple of the Almighty.The beauty of Sikh Gurbani lies in the fact that nowhere have the Guru"s claimed to be God...always they have acclaimed themselves as messanger of God ,the disciples of the Almighty.They have always propagated
that there is one God,The Almighty........and only he is to be worshipped as God not them.....this humility is the crux of the Sikhi religion along with Good of the World...everyone...Hence our daily prayer , Nanak, Naam chardee kalaa tere bhaanay sarbat da bhalaa......."Nanak, with Naam comes Chardi Kala and with your blessings, peace for everyone.

To put this in very concise and clear language, the term invokes the Sikh to request, prays and asks the Almighty for the well-being of all of humanity, prosperity for everyone in the worldwide community, global peace for the entire planet.

A Sikh selflessly prays daily for "all to prosper"'. This gesture comes from the clear and pure teaching of Gurbani (Sri Guru Granth Sahib) and forms the Gurmat code of conduct. Gurbani tells us that there are "no others", "there is only One". The same "One God resides within all". We are "all the children of that One God". As the potter makes pots of different forms and colors from the same basic clay; and as the goldsmith moulds jewellery of various types, colors and shapes from the same single homogeneous material, gold; similarly, we are all born of the same One Light: "There is no difference".

Sing the Praise of the One, the Immaculate Lord; He is contained within all. — Guru Granth Sahib, page 706, line 30456

Ek bhagat bhagwaan je prani ke naahain mann
Jaise sookar swaan ,Nanak,maano taahain mann
--
That person who does not feel devotion for god in his mind
Oh Nanak,know that his body is like that of a pig or dog.

Ram gayo ravan gayo jaa kou bu privaar
Kaho nanak thirr kich nahin supne jyoon sansar

Ramchander passed away and so did Ravan , even though he had a lot of relatives
Says Nanak, nothing lasts for ever,the world is like a dream

Chinta taankee kijiye je anhonee hoyae
Eh maarg sansar kou Nanak thir nahin koyae

People become anxious when something unexpected happens
That is the way of the world Oh,Nanak,nothing is stable or permanent

Jo upjeyo sou binas hai paro aaj ke kaal
Nanak har gunn gayae lai chaadh sagal janjaal

Whatever has been created shall be destroyed,everyone shall perish,today or tommorow..

Yesterday was Teachers day.... Reminiscing about my school days, I remembered an incident which touched me and which I will nvr forget...... I was in 9th or 10th standard..... there was an inter school science projects competition..... and I was
selected to be a part of the
school Chemistry project.... after everything was ready (and I had put in a lot of hard work) my chemistry teacher who was really ill tempered for no rhyme or reason, in one of her famous outbursts(she probably took out all her frustrations on students), threw me out of the team.... I was shocked and more than that hurt.... although I must have been around 14 or 15 years old I could not control my tears and was standing on the staircase landing with my eyes welled in tears as I had done nothing wrong and was excited at the prospect of taking part in the exhibition and this had come as a rude shock to me...... Suddenly my Biology teacher Mrs Mehta was passing from there.... she asked me lovingly what had happened.... with tears in my eyes I told her what had transpired.... She comforted me and told me to join her team....... . I was so touched...... what an extreme contrast of behavior...... finally I took part in the exhibition and also got a certificate as a part of the biology project team although I had contributed nothing in that project..... I was deeply touched and will never forget this all my life... Even otherwise she was a great teacher.... one of the best and an even better human being who genuinely knew what teaching is all about and what all it entails.... As I am recalling this incident my eyes are again moist...... albeit this time with happiness, love, regard and gratitude for such a great teacher.... Love U.. respected Mrs Mehta.....I hold u in high esteem and will continue to do so till the last breath of my life..... Regards....
lf only I could meet you again for I hv no clue about ur whereabouts since u left the school long time back.
