Swami and Friends

Last weekend, I bought VCDs and DVDs of two T.V. serial series, which were broadcast on Doordarshan in my childhood. One, "Vikram aur Betaal" and the other "Malgudi days". I had watched only a few of "Vikram aur Betaal" episodes, and only one of "Magludi days". We did not have T.V. at home in those days, so my viewing was even more restricted.

The last episode of "Swami and Friends" was touchy. It is always difficult to part away from a relationship. The moment when you come to know, that all this is going to end now, causes a thump in your heart. You do not believe it at first. It is more painful, when you know the exact moment, when you would see each other, probably for the last time in your life. You are never sure, if you would meet him or her again in your life. Suddenly you feel there is a void in your life.

No wonder Ahmed Faraz said:

Phir usi raah-guzar par shaayad,
Hum kabhi mil sakein magar shaayad.

Jo bhi bhichde hain, kab mile hain 'Faraz',
Phir bhi tu intezaar kar shaayad.
