There Always is a First Time - Part 2
Last week my mother called up my wife and asked her - Manish ka Raja Hasan ka bhoot utara ki nahin? When my wife replied in the negative, my mother shot back - woh nahin sudharne waala.
Sometimes it gets so difficult to explain things to people - even if they are your closest ones on what this Raja-mania is all about. Maybe I could explain to people why this kind of mania is taking place - only if I could decipher the reasons myself.
And I see from your comments that I am not the only one who gets similar treatment at home. People close to us are genuinely surprised at our lately found addiction.
Sudha’s son was cheeky enough to ask her - if she did anything of that sort for her husband. Urmee gets criticized at home as her attention is more on Raja than everybody else. Padma admits that people close to her have been giving her a bizarre kind of a look. And according to latest reports, Raffu’s two cats have filed a complaint citing negligence.
I am not surprised that people are surprised at us. The eyebrows are raised because we have done nothing sort of this kind ever before. We get teased, get bizarre looks and at times even get drawn into debates and arguments at home. But all that is manageable. As long as we are enjoying it, who cares what others think of us?
Many of our friends and family members thought - it is just a passing phase. Do din rahega Raja-ka-bukhar, fir utar jayega. But sadly for them, it is worse that just a viral infection. It now seems like a permanent bukhaar. With no treatment in sight.
So, how does one explain to people how important Raja is to us? I think that is a waste of effort. One, we ourselves aren’t sure about the answer. And two, analyzing such relationships, is destroying it.
But in my household, I have been lucky. My wife has been extremely supportive. All she has done is to frame a simple rule - do the dishes first. And then you can log onto RajaHasan.com.

100% correct RHB thanks for the article first of all you are very very lucky to have very understandable wife. When this RAJA mania comes to my side, I got scold by many of my friends and even from my fiancé so now I’m talking about RAJA with some of my selected friends so I’m safe.
my only cheeky comment to manish for the moment is:
manish no wonder you log on so seldom!!!! must be loads and loads of dishes in your house, wow!!!
hehe, otherwise YES YES do I understand!!!!
and honestly I myself don’t understand this one sided pyar for raja and that too with so many soutens and also men vying for his attention!!!!
big though understanding laugh for raffu’s two cats!!! My dog echoes their feeling!!!
and it’s not as if Raja has been spoiling us silly with his constant messages to us, etc… So welcome guys into our jointly shared rajaviral with no remedy!!!!
Zee t.v. has started a new entertainment channel ‘ZEE Next’. Last Friday, there was a programme ‘ Saregamapa Starz, in which an interview of Apurva ( a contestant of V &S gharana) was telecast . During the interview, Apurva was asked who was his favourite & he said ‘Raja’. Apurva was all praise for Raja. He said, his favourite song sung by Raja was ‘Allah ke bande’. & the whole song was shown on the T.V. I was very happy. It shows that even Raja’s co-contestants are also fond of Raja.
RHB dont worry u r not the only 1
i get the same treatment at home!!!
My Mum always scolds me that i am not doing anything expect sitting in front my comouter and being at Rajahasan.com and its forum….well they cant really understand how important that is for me and for u guys too…
On sunday i was invited for luch at a friends place..and i started talking abt our Raja jaani and they were laughing abt me….then my friend told to the others that i am so crazy abt Raja that i have even put Raja’s pics as screensaver and wallpaper on my laptop…
i was not sad or anyhow feeling bad….i was proud to be crazy fan of Raja!!!!!!!!!!!!
At times my colleagues ask me to sing something. And i simply deny. They keep pestering me and at the end say “Tere RajaHasan kahi suna de”. Poor chaps, they hardly know Raja is popularising already sung versions and they think these are all RajaHasan songs.
RHB… ur article is soooooooooooooooooooo adorable….. just like you. totally enjoyed reading it
@ padma… lol on the dog thing
Manish these are the articles I really look forward to and I just love reading them. I am really happy that my family has been very supportive.. It was not been easy though esp.. in October..
I was really depressed that time and you’ll know why..I remember my husband tellling me just get out of this (Raja addiction) please…. But it was impossible for me as i was so addicted to his songs that I used to sleep very late in the night watching his videos again and again and had a tough time going to the office next day. Anyways now I am back to my normal self no late nights. Raja has become part of my family and everybody has accepted that. Let me try writing in Hindi for the first time. Muje Raja ka Mania ho Gaya Hai. I am so happy to be his fan.
Hello freinds,
Lagta hai mujhe bhool gaya hai Manish.
Mera bukhaar to piche 7 mahino se 103 degree pe constant tha ab jaake thoda kam hua hai.
Ha Ha Ha.
@Jugal bhai - Aapko kahaan bhoolenge - bukhaar failaane waale to aap hi hai.
@ jugal
how can we forget u…that impossible
hey jugal bhai….rhb na 100% sahi kaha….aap ne hi raja ka virus phelaya hai hum sab ke dimag me….jugal bhai u are really a great person….!!!! manish aap bhi….thank you so much!!!
:-))
great article!
my brother likes to take a peek at my computer all the time to see what i’m doing. And, of course everytime he finds me on this website. So, now he teases me by saying “darshan khul gaye?”
I just laugh and continue
Allah gawa hai ke mein jhoot nahi bol rahi mein udhar forum pe sab se batein kar rahi thi aur merey dimagh mein yeh hi ghoom raha tha jugal kaisa hai jugal ko mein ne phone nahi kiya and i wanted to write about him, usko yahan dekh kar dil khush hua Allah khush rakhey Manish aur jugal dono ko
About my addiction office mein log poochthey hain who are you listening to the same kid and i say yes
hmmm my mom is supporting me on raja but my dad thinks i need to be checked in to the mental hospital…but he loves raja too..i tell everyone i meet about raja…even if they are american…i just got nuts when i start talking about him….
Hi sudha,
Did u watch ‘awaragi’ .It’s wonderful to watch time and again.
My peon in office has become sick by my raja mania. He says “yeh kya dekhte aur sunte rahte ho aap”.
@ jugal &manish , both of u must have wonderful families….but for u ,we r all here…..hats off to all ur supportive familymembers…
yesterday again a shas-bohu jodi happened to see my mobile with raja’s photo & pulled my leg s…..o hard that …i’m unable to walk till now…..sab puchhte hai..kya bhaiyako(my husband) malum hai…???
hey bhagwan..!!!!!! as if i’m doing something shameful…again i had to justify myself infront of them…
thank god ,my husband is a nice person.he understands how i love raja…..only thinks me a little bit more crazy….well, he too peeps into tv for raja
It was due to my craze and madness for raja that my boyfriend was so upset with me. And it is one of the reason that made us part but u know what…. i m not at all sad. ‘coz with raja within my heart, i feel so complete
wow , nice to be back after a long gap to this site. It is funny to explain my position. My only son was back home from hostel for 20 days leave.. We went on a trip and i was telling something about Raja’s performance in the world tour..My son got annoyed and became jealousy about him.. My husband had to intervene and pacify us.. That is the nasha of THE GREAT RAJA..
Raja mania nahi RAJARIA.
surely correct. same happens with me when my masi calls up my mom . my friends tease me 13th oct ko gaye kitna time ho gaya ab to bhul ja apne Raja ko. ria aise nahi karte . they all tease me. meri attention apni family se zyada RAJA par hai.and i am not afraid becaz pyar kiya hai to kiya hai or jab ta sanse chal rahi hain or uske bad bhi karti rahungi.kyun ki jo dil me bas gaya woh to phas gaya.
Tum sab pagal ho yaar.
Aur main bhi hoon …
