I Am Raja Ki Teetri

Posted in Raja Hasan on June 25th, 2008

“I am a Raja ki Teetri.”, she said.

“You are a what?”, I blurted out.

“Raja ki Teetri - Raja’s butterfly”.

“And why do you call yourself that?”

“Because Raja does sing Maari teetri. When Raja says Maari anything, that means he is referring to me.”, she said.

“Isn’t that a bit too optimistic?”

“Not at all. He is referring to me as his butterfly.”

“And don’t you think a butterfly isn’t exactly a compliment?”, I innocently asked.

“It isn’t? What makes you think so? Butterflies are so lively, so colourful and the friendliest of creatures.”

“You know, butterflies are a bit too chanchal.”

“Chanchal?”

“They have that ADHD problem. Attention deficiency. Hyperactivity. They can’t stick to one flower for more than a few seconds.”

“So what?”

“That means a butterfly like you wouldn’t be loyal to your Raja for a long time.”, I argued.

“As long as Raja refers to me as Maari - I will always be his”, she said.

“What if the song would have been Maari Kabootri or Maari Chipkali?”, I asked.

“Raja has a better sense of lyrics than you.”

“Maybe he has. But you will remain his Maari anything?”

“Of course, Maari anything-he-calls-me“

“You know, De Taali is going to have a sequel. And Raja is singing in it as well”, I tried to enlighten her.

“Wow! And what’s the song going to be this time?”

“Maari Behnaa“, I casually said.

WHAM!

    Wonderful writing as always, Sir RHB. Can’t praise you enough. I love this piece and I for one have no problem being Raja’s Behnaa… :) :) :)

    Shobha if ur boss ask u why u r laughing, make him read manish’s articles ;)

  7. Shobha, on June 26th, 2008 at 12:27 am Said:

    I just knew Raffu that this would make you very happy - I am very happy for you, you know. And just so you know I was never competing with you for that “title” - Should have told you earlier, I guess - you would have felt this relief much earlier, hah?

    Padma - can you somehow get Raja to read this particular article - I’m sure Raja will laugh so hard his stomach will hurt - Isn’t it our duty to spread happiness around??? Hahaha.. how devious I am!! Raja should know how much humor Sir RHB has brought with the “Maari ????” song for all of us.

  8. Shobha, on June 26th, 2008 at 12:29 am Said:

    Raffu, he’s persian - and if he ever finds out how I spend my time - I’ll be dead meat, I think.

  9. Shobha, on June 26th, 2008 at 12:45 am Said:

    Ok Sir RHB - here’s a question for you? When did you come up with the idea for this? How long ago and what triggered this article? Ok, so it became more than one question…. just curious to know how much time it took you to write this up, starting from how the idea came about to this write up… Such a small request, hah :)

    @ shobha,I want to be like a feenix bird,
    Should I need to explain what I mean?

  14. Shobha, on June 26th, 2008 at 1:29 am Said:

    Lavanya, Phoenix? Bird that rises from the ashes, right??? Correct me if I am wrong… and if I am right, wow, good for you. But you do need to explain the reason for wanting to be one… just plain old curiosity here.

    Mmaoji - no, who else do I know who is persian?? Tell me, please.

  15. amrita, on June 26th, 2008 at 1:31 am Said:

    LOL @ RAFFU…

    tsk tsk tsk I know u were picturing urself the whole time….dont throw it on Aliza, Sadia and me :P

  16. lavanya, on June 26th, 2008 at 2:14 am Said:

    Shobha, you are right ,
    Phoenix is a bird of the Arabian desert,said to live for several hundred years before burning itself and then being born again from it’s ashes,
    And it is also well known for it’s love for the “sun”
    This bird loves “Sun” and flies continuously to reach the sun and when it goes close to the sun it gets burn, and again borns from it’s own ashes and it’s journey begins.
    jo log apne pyaar ke liye apne jaan tak dedete(ye jaante hue bhi,ki usko apna pyaar milna mumkin nahi hai) hai unko bhi Phoenix bird bulate hai,

    Except for the last part - you know where the forbidden “word” is used… but it seems to be forbidden only in this site as per Raffu’s comments - so leaves a lot of loopholes right there ;)
