Dok Saab (118)
"DokSaab, Rohan grinds his teeth while sleeping."
Four-year-old Rohan was anxiously fidgeting with the pen.
"He even wakes up in the night, frightened and shouting."
"Rajat, your child appears over stressed. He needs relaxation before going to sleep."
"Oh that he gets plenty, he watches cartoon channel the whole evening."
"Television aggravates the problem. I was taking about reading him a bedtime story."
"We both are working, DokSaab, too tired to tell him any story."
"Then ask your mother to tell some fairytales. She used to, when you were a child. DadiMa's stories have therapeutic effect."
"She doesn't live with us now, DokSaab. Our apartment is too small, so we have kept her in an old age home."

Mickey (106)
Where were you?"
I asked Jane.
She was climbing down
From the thickest branch of our tree.
"Err, I was up there
reading a novel".
She looked tired, sleepy,
And strangely satisfied.
"But I saw Tarzan swinging away
From the tree few minutes back".
Her Shirt was torn, skirt crushed.
"Oh, He was going towards the town,
Just stopped to say hi to me".
Her hair was disheveled,
Face blushing,
Bite marks on the lips.

She was telling one story,
But every tear of her shirt,
Every wrinkle of her skirt,
Every strand of her hair,
Every scratch on her arms,
Was telling,
A different story.

Nandini (117)
God: “Let me narrate your story to you” I stood there listening to my life story. There it flashed before me. I was the hero and not only had the onus of writing my own story but also the privilege of living it. Like a star I was treated. - serenaded by blessings when I acted good, held by Him when I turned weak .My actions coloured the story in many hues. God smiled and said “My child, based on your old story, here is your new plot. You are Nandini – go forth and write it. Me: “What if I suffer writer’s block” God: “Write it with the ink of faith and your story will move on”



Richa (120)
Machal gaya Munna us raat
Nahi suni fir usne kisi ki baat
Karne laga voh manmani
Aaj to sunke rahoonga mein koi kahani

Maa tum busy ho office mein har din
Mein karta weekend ka intezaar din gin gin
Aaj Saturday tumhe party mein hai jaana
Kabhi to sunao maa kahani, lori ya koi gana

Bhar aaya maa ka man sun Munne ki baat
Beta hum rahenge tumhare saath hi aaj raat
Aaj mein tumhe sunaoongi wohi kahani
Jo bachpan mein sunati thi mujhe meri nani

God mein lita ke maa papa ne kahani sunai
Munna ko itna khush dekh dono ki aankh bhar aayi
Lets make Saturday family time papa said
they hugged each other with arms wide spread

Genuine Fake (119)
Mrinal Shrivastav. CEO, Autosoft Systems; the visiting card read. As he glanced through the card, Mrinal looked at the plaque congratulating him on completion of 15 years of service. Vivid reminiscences of his first visiting card came back to him. Junior Engineer, Autosoft Systems. A small town man, a second class civil engineer, and a low self esteem were all that he needed to make it big. Life since then was all about oil, grease, engines, low performance reminders, strong disagreements and self-motivation. He had now become a man of envy.
Every man has a story, his father once said.
He smiled and looking up, winking at his father, he moved onto the conference room to celebrate his experience

GSV (116)
“Fairy tales and fables have long been obsolete.Biographies are for History channel, Public prefers mimicry nowdays in the name of humour,Socially relevant issues are commercially flops and Beware to touch those mythological concepts, fundamentalist don't like anybody playing with their heroes. Love story musicals now demands foriegn locale and I have limited budget.Even tragedies are being disliked,people want 'happy endings' after spending thier money!".

"Now tell me, Can you draw a Story for my canvas?" asked Ghosh,prominent director.
"aaa..I would try..!" hesitantly Aakash replied.

"Ok now listen a good news, Natasha have agreed to do an 'Item Number', I would manage to recover my costs even if your Story fails!" chuckled Ghosh.

Kaveesh (120)

STORY

"Why in the world should I allow you amid a class Mr.Sinha?" asked Ms.Dua with a gorgeously frowned face.


"How in the world do I explain? I too am a teacher like you. I was answering the question that first leaped out of the child's mouth. I was still teaching when I realized my slip-up. But then, I thought it's all for a noble cause." I quipped.


"Aaahh…You've always got some stories to make Mr.Sinha. Really fine that one was.", simpered Ms.Dua while I still tipped on the forceful door.
"Well…You can come in!"


I sneered and by her table muttered incorrigibly, "Thou shalt Not is soon forgotten... but Once upon a time lasts forever. I'd continue to weave".

Sarang (56)

Everyone is a writer
Every life is a story
Of love, longing and losses
And sometimes of glory

Everyone is hero,
Who writes their own tale
Their own plot decides,
They write to loose or fail

Every life is a story
Written by the pen of deeds
Every scene is felt
Reaped as the sown seeds

.

Santonu (117)

Let me tell you a story
Its not about a prince and princess
God and goddesses
Its also not about love and war,

I will tell you a story
of an insignificant life, a man or a woman
Story that never started or will never end
But a story that will ever remain..

Damp wall and falling roof built the story
Yelling and cries filled it in,
Starving kids and hungry eyes passed by the tale
through the blind alley
a story that flew every day

I will tell you a story
Which started without a hope and may end without it
It's a story of a day when she started dreaming,
A very special day….her birthday!
.


Willy Wingfoot (110)

I skipped the wall,
Quit the job.
Burnt the proof,
Of a "ME" who was!

Sick of the tyranny
Of routine and uniformity
Caught in the play
Of plugged, machined, daily living.

I fled,
From the sheep;evergrazing on wafers green.
From the shepard;just another sheep, fat and mean.

I ran, I ran, I ran...
To find a way to fly.
To shake aside the shadow of Black & White.

Walked among proud beasts,besides the sheep for once.
And swam against the tide.

I dreamt under my starry cousins.
And fought to live my dreams.

And so goes the story,
a myth, now a legend,
of a mole among YOU sheep!

Hello all!

Congratulate me, I have actually managed to upload Klash in time! Haha. I am so proud of myself! :-)

Now, let there be more entries on display. We have a cool word to play with!

Sarang Mahajan said...

Here is wonderful poem sent by Richa -

माँ कह एक कहानी

"माँ कह एक कहानी।"
बेटा समझ लिया क्या तूने मुझको अपनी नानी?"
"कहती है मुझसे यह चेटी, तू मेरी नानी की बेटी
कह माँ कह लेटी ही लेटी, राजा था या रानी?
माँ कह एक कहानी।"

"तू है हठी, मानधन मेरे, सुन उपवन में बड़े सवेरे,
तात भ्रमण करते थे तेरे, जहाँ सुरभी मनमानी।"
"जहाँ सुरभी मनमानी! हाँ माँ यही कहानी।"

वर्ण वर्ण के फूल खिले थे, झलमल कर हिमबिंदु झिले थे,
हलके झोंके हिले मिले थे, लहराता था पानी।"
"लहराता था पानी, हाँ हाँ यही कहानी।"

"गाते थे खग कल कल स्वर से, सहसा एक हँस ऊपर से,
गिरा बिद्ध होकर खर शर से, हुई पक्षी की हानी।"
"हुई पक्षी की हानी? करुणा भरी कहानी!"

चौंक उन्होंने उसे उठाया, नया जन्म सा उसने पाया,
इतने में आखेटक आया, लक्ष सिद्धि का मानी।"
"लक्ष सिद्धि का मानी! कोमल कठिन कहानी।"

"माँगा उसने आहत पक्षी, तेरे तात किन्तु थे रक्षी,
तब उसने जो था खगभक्षी, हठ करने की ठानी।"
"हठ करने की ठानी! अब बढ़ चली कहानी।"

हुआ विवाद सदय निर्दय में, उभय आग्रही थे स्वविषय में,
गयी बात तब न्यायालय में, सुनी सब ने जानी।"
"सुनी सब ने जानी! व्यापक हुई कहानी।"

राहुल तू निर्णय कर इसका, न्याय पक्ष लेता है किसका?"
"माँ मेरी क्या बानी? मैं सुन रहा कहानी।
कोई निरपराध को मारे तो क्यों न उसे उबारे?
रक्षक पर भक्षक को वारे, न्याय दया का दानी।"
"न्याय दया का दानी! तूने गुणी कहानी।"

malted socktail said...

Santonu said...

oh I missed it! although i sent my post, but it was late i guess. considering the fact that i was staying inside a forest for a week where, electricity is a luxury, will the konfessionars put up my post. may not be as a participant for klash, but after the winner is decided?... excellent klash, again a nice choice of word

Sarang Mahajan said...

Hey Santonu, while you were typing the Komment, I was putting up your post. Just have a look! It is up for the Kompetition. Your's and Willy's too! :-)

Sarang Mahajan said...

I am glad that most of those who were missing have joined us just in time! Let the comments flow now, klashers! :-)

richa said...

ab hui na koi baat.....
@Santonu: where and what do you work as which takes you to forests??

Sarang Mahajan said...

We need Shinjini even to get the komments going here! :D

Missy Baba said...

I say... where is EVERYBODY!?!!

Mainoo teh danda chalana payeooga..!!! No vote shote?!!! ki gal hai!!!!

Missy Baba said...

I missed everyone so much... I saw your komments in the previous post and was extremely touched..thank you..:)

And I'm even more delighted that Sarang put it up in time and what an intriguing and appropriate picture Kavish selected..brilliant! In fact..why doesn't the winner start choosing a picture as well?!!

@Mandi..thank you for even thinking about submitting something! There ought to be a LOT of people next week..but for that we need to vote!!! I'm putting in my komments right now..!

Missy Baba said...

My komments--- (P.s. my vote doesn't kount! :) but I'm voting anyway!)

1. Dok Saab- I suffer from bruxism too!!! Well I did before yog, but I still grind my teeth sometimes.. :( has to be the stress..!But that's beside the point... well captured dok saab.. I was expekting a dadima/nanima take this week!! and planned to give one too..just didn't find the time..but your end isn't Chekovian, yet it leaves an imprint. In fact, this made me think of your take on 'kiss'..the irony of how love withers.

2. Mickey--Good to see you back!!! She CHEATED on you!!! with TARZAN!?!!! this is terrible!!! But what an imagination haha..:) I think I need to sit Jane down one of these days.. don't you worry ;). I liked how it began with her reading a novel and how the "every bite" "every tear" told a different story... that was quite an end.

3.Nandini-- My winner What a fabulous klash... that God asks you to write your own destiny and you worry about suffering from writer's block..klassic stuff. Never ever has a metaphor for destiny and life tickled me as much as this...I shall remember..and therein lies your win! :)

4.Empress-- This one warmed me! there is no way one can express "man bhar aaya" in English it is one of my favourite Hindi phrases..well done, except the end.. :( i wish you'd stuck to Hindi..but i understand why this in English too..!!!

more later..

NonsSens said...

Ok let me start with the Komments -
Dok Saab-Nice theme.Potrayed really well....wish your ending wasn't so sad - but I guess thats reality.Enjoyed reading it.

Mickey - Good one.Ohh the stories people spin. Jane really cares about her image vis a vis the apes :-))

Richa - Aha just like Dok Saab.....nice theme.Such much dadi-nani se kahani sunney mein bahut hi mazaa ata tha. Infact I too was earlier thinking of writing abt the awesome stories my grandmom spun for us during our childhood.
Am really glad your poem has a happy ending.

Genuine Fake - Good take on the word. True "each man has a story to tell".

GSV - A story inside a story :-)) Nice idea.

Kaveesh - Spinning a yarn...Last line is a killer "Tho Shall Not is soon forgotten...but Once Upon a Tome lives forever"....Its good, but somehow I feel this isn't one of your best.

Sarang - Good, short & trite - every person has a tale to tell.

Santonu - Nice thought. - potraying a story in the "untold story"....I really hope that the sequel to this piece is a story about her inspirational rise from an almost nodescript story...to the story the world reads.

Willy Wingfoot - Powerful thought. Nice potrayal.

My Vote - Santonu....Totally for the thought behind the theme.
Dok Saab & Richa come a close second...since their theme brings back my own chldhood memories...of dadaji /dadiji & nani spinning out yarns to keep us fascinated for hours & hours.

Unknown said...

Hi to everyone..

congrats sarang ..batting while doing captaincy :)


my komments and voting this week-

@ dok saab-a senstive issue raised by you dok saab this week...true, in a nuclear family where both parents are working and child doesn't gets personal attention it definately affects on child's development. But you could surely have avoided to display the parents 'insenstive' and could prevent that 'no happy ending'.(by public demand)..but i think what u have felt u have wrote...(there was no disclaimer this time!)

Unknown said...

@ Micky the monkey- different take..:)your write up was good like past times..go for an Elisa test..if u r sure abt the facts of this story..!

Unknown said...

@ Nandini- after reading your write up this week I wished i could write so simple and beautiful..but then i thought..i am equally enjoying reading it..haha..
just like a joke- when u stood up for listening..god's mike batteries got weak and then almighty played his DVD player..cos it 'Flashed'. Flash is for vision :P
i could relate to -past performance-new plot
and your last line was touching..:)

Unknown said...

@ Richa- though your take could be compared with doksaab's one on some aspects but i find it a way different..i felt the emphasis was more on get together..the family bonding..yes "story" was the bonding factor..but it could be anything else too.! like the father says in end let make saturday family time..(not 'story' time)...yes the happy ending is there..and hindi with melody was good like always..:)

Unknown said...

@ Genuine Fake a.k.a Anamika chatterjee- blame it on Sarang for mishap etc haha..:)

It was nice and short..every man has a story..yeah correct..:)

Unknown said...

@ kaveesh-"You've always got some stories to make Mr.Sinha", then why why why u didn't used the word STORY in ur writeup but as the Title..though i enjoyed ur conversation style with ms.dua .:)

Unknown said...

@ Sarang-a short but meaningful take.:)

Unknown said...

@ Santonu-"Story that never started or will never end
But a story that will ever remain.."
i thought 'untold stories' are being 'told' every night on all news channels..but ur 'Story' maintains the mystery.
but why it is half way...i mean how does the 'birthday' has to do anything with 'starving kids and hungry eyes'..surely it could have something which i cant see in ur story...but overall i felt your take good cos of those above quoted lines...:)

Unknown said...

@willy wingfoot-flow of poem was nice..just like i was running with it..story of mole..:)

Unknown said...

my vote this week to Nandini Sen

The Konfessioners said...

Votes to so far--

Nandini-1
Santonu-1

PLEASE FINISH voting by 6:00 P.M. today!!!

Cheers,
The Konfessioners.

Willy Wingfoot said...

Dok Saab:Influence of the Idiot Box.yeah...my gramp used to tell me bedtime-tales,when i was a kid...but sleep would take me over the moment he starts.But still everynight he comes back with a new tale...
OK!new Start nontheless....never heard an END.

Willy Wingfoot said...

Mickey:I've always told u APE.....u deserved much better!
An interesting take....amazed how u keep coming up with this monkey business.I tried to be a Bird...but i ran out of ideas.

Willy Wingfoot said...

Nandini:Fascinating....Really!I dont really know what a "Writer's Block" is...but "Write it with the ink of faith and your story will move on"....simple yet attractive end!

Unknown said...

The shortest story we used to tell was
एक था राजा एक थी रानी
दोनो मर गये खतम कहानी
.
Writing a story is so easy, but writing on a story, so difficult. But even then we have 10 entries here.
Mickey ---- What a story, Monkey!!. I hope all this is just a figment of your imagination, and all those tears and scratches Jane had, must have been due to her getting entangled into some thorny branch of your tree.
Nandini---- Writing our own story, reminds me of a famous Urdu couplet,
खुदी को कर बुलन्द इतना
कि हर तक़्दीर से पहले
खुदा बन्दे से खुद पूछे
बता तेरी रज़ा क्या है
(make your self so strong that when God consults you before writing your destiny)
Richa ---- Very beautifully captured desire of the present day kid. Poor kids, the grand parents don’t live with them to tell them stories, and parents don’t have time. The only storyteller they have is the TV channels, which do more harm than good.
You excel in Hindi poem, totally professional.
Genuine Fake ---- How true, every man has a story, and your story reminds me of a movie I saw few months back, the protagonist rising from a filling station operator to a business tycoon.
GSV ----Good take on the current Bollywood scenario. The story always gets lost in the loud music, huge sets, and glamorous Items
Kaveesh ----Stories people tell, nice concept. I have always liked the opening lines,Once upon a time
Sarang ----nice and short. But the theme of writing ones own story got repeated here, and Nandini’s take was better.
Santonu ----You have told a nice story, but the word is not the theme here, I feel.
Willy Wingfoot ----Same again, willy, you have told a story, not written about story as the subject. Reminds me of a previous klash on Conversation when TD narrated a conversation, instead of writing on the word as the theme.

My Vote,--Nandini though I also liked GSV’s take more than the others.

Willy Wingfoot said...

Genuine Fake:True indeed....

Willy Wingfoot said...

GSV:How ironical...the importance of a STORY in STORY-TELLING remains no more.

Willy Wingfoot said...

Kaveesh:"Thou shalt Not is soon forgotten... but Once upon a time lasts forever. I'd continue to weave"
GREAT!This one stands out,mate.But the story overall left me quiet unsatisfied.
I'll go through....

Willy Wingfoot said...

Sarang:Bro....may be you left it incomplete.Good start...could have continued on!

Santonu:Beautiful word...and a flowing theme too.But just the last part failed to ring a bell in me!
I liked it..YES...but a bit confused about the B'day part.

Willy Wingfoot said...

@Dok Saab:I thought we had to write 120words using the word STORY!
Like 120 words,one among them being STORY!

Willy Wingfoot said...

Richa:Wonderful take,mam...liked it till the last 2 lines.
Wonder why you had to include english in the end!?

Unknown said...

@Willy
Hi Willy, true you have to use the word in your 120 words, but the word has to be the soul of your klash, remove the word and klash krumbles, or replace the word and it makes not much difference.

Willy Wingfoot said...

Liked both GSV and Genuine Fakes's....
My vote goes to GSV!

Santonu said...

@ Rangan, u got it, i had a better line thought for that, but just wanted to spoil the piece :)but still i got a very important vote :) Yoooo :D

Kaveesh said...

Am really sorry for not being able to komment in detail...Today is the D-Day..The Concert that I'd been preparing for...haha!

I always found it difficult to maintain consistency...rather I am supposed to be the most inconsistent of the lot...N hence have loved the way Mickey sticks to his theme...The simian hues that he tones up!

I loved all the pieces..simply because I thought that the word I chose was a 'run to the mill' kinds..But u guys have made it so so beautiful!

"Every wrinkle of her skirt,
Every strand of her hair,
Every scratch on her arms,
Was telling,
A different story.


U get my VOTE for sticking to the same theme differently...Nandini and GSV were other rockstars...!!

My vote to Mickey the Monkey for simply being the best with his simian forte...!!

Detailed Komments tmrw! :)

NonsSens said...

Dok Saab - Absolutely wonderful Urdu couplet.....have churaofied it & forwarded to all my friends.

Sarang Mahajan said...

Dok Saab: Stories-and-Grandparents is one of the eternal relations. I remember listening to some of the all time bests such as The Treasure Island, Kidnapped, Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Le Miserable, Great Expectations and The Tale of Two Cities from Bapu, my Mom’s Dad. A precious gift I was so lucky to receive at an early age. I think that’s where the stimulation of my imagination power started.

You have captured a very fine angle of today’s society here.

Mickey: Nice take monkey. Feel bad for you! Did you bare your teeth at Jane later? :D

Nandini: A real good one. The second paragraph of your write up bears a very high literary value, or so my minuscule writer’s brain tells me. You have captured a bigger tale within the word limit, which is very difficult.

Richa: I liked the theme very much, but I don’t know about the wording. I feel there is a bit of stretched rhyming. But nonetheless, it is very vivid.

Genuine Fake: This one has a great visual value. It can so easily be converted into a screenplay for a TV advertisement, you know, those insurance ads and sorts. Keep up the good work.

GSV: Very true. Being NM’s brother I know a thing or two about Bollywood. You are so spot-on about the item number thing. But I feel good stories are still in demand and films like Chak De don’t need an item number, but that would be an irrelevant discussion here. As far as your Klash is concerned, a good one, again! But dear GSV, you must, must pay attention to punctuation and grammar, because with your mind, you always come up with good themes, but they lack in the wording department. I am not very grammatically correct myself, but I feel the need for it to do justice to the themes you think up.

Kaveesh: Nice one bro. I remember making all sort of stories after appearing late for the classes or bunking them. Hope you continue to weave good klashes! :-)

Santonu: Nice as ever. But I did not quite get the ending, the second paragraph. Though it was very well versed.

Willy: You have a very unique style, which at first seems hard to comprehend but as you go on reading you like sliding through. Same here. Yet, I could not quite get full hang of it.

My vote goes to – Nandini, though GSV and GF were close considerations.

richa said...

sorry wont be able to komment in detail this time...busy commuting home and work over the weekend...so much to do and so much to drive in snow and sleet whew!!!

my vote to Nandini for a very inspiring yet a simple write up. sarang and santonu were close second.
wonderful word and wonderful write ups....Klashers you rock :)

The Konfessioners said...

And the winner is--- Nandini Sen! :)

Kongratulations Nandini...may we have a word!? :)

Thanks all for voting and kommenting!

Mickey said...

Kongrats Nandini Ma'am, truely well deserved win.
But Ma'am, where do you get that Ink of Faith

Unknown said...

congrats nandini..:)

NonsSens said...

Thank you everyone for your Komments & wishes. Am really thrilled to be the winner.
Wow imagine having the Purple Krown all throughout the week :))

I was thinking of suggesting "Candle" (should it be Kandle) as the word this week. However I guess, Konfessioner Singh will probably announce it officially.

Sarang Mahajan said...

Kongrats Nandini, and a very good word! :-)

Mickey said...

I know its pointless to komment now that the new word is there, still I would like to reciprocate those who took pains to read my take and kommented :).
1. Dok Saab - And I believed teeth grinding was because of worms in stomach, Dok Saab. True, today’s kids are so stressed. I started schooling at 6yr, and now I see 2 yr kids going to school. I still remember my Dadaji telling us Western stories at bedtime. Our favourite was a series called Sudden, a cowboy. Nice take!
And you were right about Jane, sir. I had imagined it all, she really had a great fall in some thorny branch. I read what the torn cloths and scratches told, but failed to read what her eyes told, and those innocent eyes were telling the true story.

Mickey said...

2. Kaveesh –One of my seniors at school had advised me to make up stories when at leisure, to be used at the time of emergencies, like coming late to class, not bringing homework, or getting caught at McDonald’s when I should have been in the chemistry lab. A good one Kaveesh Bhai.

Mickey said...

3.Sarang – Yours appears to be a hurriedly composed poem, had you given more thought, it would have been a winning entry.
By the way, what does this mean, They write to loose or fail

Others didnt had time to read my take and komment, so probably they wont have time to read this, so its pointless to komment upon their takes. Monkey's revenge :)

5.GSV –one recent Bollywood Movie has ten stories in it, I don’t know how many Item Numbers they have put in it. But truly, story is being sidelined by the technology, sound, locations, and off course, glamorous Items. A good take sir, hence my vote was for you :)

Hey Mickey....."Ink of Faith" comes from the fact that in life I just keep doodling...not writing. And I keep hoping its "faith" that'll make the doodling look like words when it matters. :-))
