Aaan Baan Shaan Hamra -Paan

Bachpan se Paan khane ka bada shauk,
Jab bhi mein family ke saath Thanda jata tha,
Toh hamare Daddi ya Naani ya Phuphi koi bhi agar paan khare toh,
Mein bhi apne liye unse paan bana leta tha bina zarda ke.

Mujhe paan khane ke baad, uske laal rang ka intezar rehta,
aur jaise hi jubaan laal ho jata toh mein khus ho jata.
Jaake arsi ke samne dekh tha, moh aur jubaan ko alag alag angle se dekh tha rehta.
Mann hi mann khush ho jata, lagta hai ki mein uske LAL RANG ke liye khata tha.

Jab mein bachelors mein tha, Lal Salaam aur Jai Bheem ke slogan pehli baar soona. Ek mere dost ke chakar mein Dr. Ambedkar aur Bhagat Singh se dosti hogayi. Abhi tak inn dono ka Khitabhe bahut kam pada hoon. Par abhi bhi unka kaam dekh ke aur kisee soon ke, Meri man se waah waah hi nikalta.

Recently instagram pe ek reel famous hoa tha,
jaha pe tarboojh (watermelon) ko kat ke, uska laal rang dikha the.
Aur jor jor se chilathe ki Lal hai, Lal hai, Lai hai, sari gaddi ki mal laal hai.
Aur Accha teen char log milke chorus mein gaate aur taaliyoon ki dhoon daalte. Jaise Qawalli mein dalte.
Likhte likhte woh reel ka dhoon mere dimag mein baj ra.
Tarbhoojh se mujhe Falistiin log aur desh yaad agayae.
Ankh bhar jata hai.

Lal rang bahut sara cheezo ko signify karta.
Jaise Mohabbat, Gulab, Gaal, Ghav aur Gussa,
aur recent trend mein toh LAL AANKH.
Ab ka hakomat sirf Lal Aankh hi dikhata hai.
Dekho mein phir se bhatak gaya.
Lagta soch bahut bhatak thi, jaise ruh bhatak thi hain.

Ab aate muddhe ki baat- jo hain paan jisko khate hi hota juuban laal.
Miya bhai mein yaha jubaan kesri ki baat nahi kara.
Sirf paan ki baat.
Jubban kesari ke chakkar mein bechare paan khane walo ka naam badnam hain.
Ye naam aur badnaam accha rhyming hain.
Dekho urdu kitni mithi jooban hai.
Isko khatam karne chale hai - Chee Chee sochke hi lal ho jata hoon.
Phir se yaha pe bhi laal agaya.

Likhte likhte mein bahut baar bhatak jata hoon.
Ye line likhte hi Moin Akhtar aur Anwar maqsood Saab yaad aagaye,
unke loose talk ka ek episode yaad aagaya.
Jaha pe Moin Akhtar Saab bolte ki gusse mein idhar udhar bhatak jaate.

Masters karne time hamari mulaqat ek ubharate shayar se hogayi. Jo hume Nusrat Saab aur qawaali ki duniya se milaye. Qawalli aur mera nata badte gaya. Mujhe kabhi kabhi lagta ki ye qayanat humko jinse chahiye unse hi mila tha hai. Qawalli ke chakkar mein hum Farid Ayaz saab se mile. Farid Ayaz saab ka Makhi aur Parwana kissa kabhi fursat se sunana. Sufism ka explanation Farid Ayaz saab bahut bhadiya batate hain. Aur Farid Ayaz saab continous paan khate. Ye jo scene hain unka paan khana, baate karna, qawalli gana mujhe bhadiya lagta.

Ab toh paan ke baare mein likhna chalo karo miyaa.

Jaise hi boarding school chala gaya, udar ka discpline ke chakkar mein bahut sara cheez badal gaye. Aur gulbarga mein college join hone ka baad sarfire dosto ke saath chai aur paan ka silsila chalo hoa. Gulbarga ke yaado ke baare mein kabhi aage zikr karta hoon.

Bidar aane ke baad old city explore karte karte chai nashta aur paan ka bhi exploration ho gaya. Aur har roz shyam ko chai peena, paan khana aur politics, mohabhat, shahar, log, dukh aur dard discuss karte shahar ki galiyoon mein ghumte rehate. Aur kabhi kabhi toh sirf hum, hamari tanahayi aur ye shahar ka hawa aur bike ke saath ghumte rehte. Yahi cheez mujhe Zindha mahsoos kara tha hai.

Pehle toh mein chai ke baad paan khane se aitraaz karta tha kyuki daat laal hote bolke. Sirf khana khane ke baad paan khata. Khane ke item jaise Tahari, Bagara Dalcha, Biryani-choti chawal aur badi chawal ki, Mutton Achar, Talawa ghost, Sheek kabab, Jaware roti ke saath Kaleja fry aur Kheema.

Khane se yaad aya ki, Naseeb hotel ki Tahari ko nimbu ke achaar ke saath try karna. Bhaut hi badiya lagta. Aur baad mein chitra chai aur uske samne A1 paan ka dukan jo Meenakshi Paan ke liye bahut famous hai. Par mein sirf sada paan khata. Chutni ka taste mujhe suit nahi hota. Pehle chatni natural flavour ka mix rehta jaise honey+kesar+chandi, ye meenakshi chatni hain. Ab toh alag alag flavour aare, mein toh unko sugar syrup bolna chalo kar diya. Thode alag alag chatni jo mein try kiya Khus, Axe, Watermelon, Park avenue, Rajnighanda. Ye naam sunko perfume ya paan masale ke saath confuse na hona. Ye sab paan ke saath mein jaane wale flavours hain. Kabhi paan shop pe jaake try karo. Nahi hoa toh Aao kabhi haveli pe.

Paan mein bhi alag alag tarah ke hote jaise, sada paan, meenakshi paan, mitha paan, pudina paan, garam/lavang paan. Ye sab paan saade patte aur culcatta patte mein bante. Aur zarde ya tambak mix ke toh alag hi paan bante jaise navartana 120 aur kuch alag alag hai mein zyada explore nahi kiya. Aur paan ke fancy version hai jaise chocolate paan, mango paan, strawberry paan, fire paan, barf paan, Vanilla paan aur bahut kuch. Ye fancy paan se na zubaan lal hoti na hazame ko madad karti. Ye paan sirf body ko extra sugar deta. Jab mein metro cities aur maal mein ye fancy paan dekh ke feel ho jaata. Paan ke naam pe log Kuch Bhi khaare bolke. Ye capitalist market mein, bahut baar kuch bhi hote rehta. Aise hi.

Thode paan jab health down rehta hai tab khate. Agar sardi, zukham aur khaasi hai toh pudina aur garam paan khate. Garam paan mein toh maachis ki kaddi se lavang ko aag lagate aur aag bhuj jane ke baad paan mein dalke ke dete. Fire paan se confuse na hona. Aur Bahut kuch hai, yet to explore the paan ki duniya. Mera sada paan ka recipe aise hai- Paan ka patta uske sath chunna aur katha ka paste, bhone hua sopari + sada sopari, sauf, kabhi kabhi lavang aur elaichi ke daane. Aur paan khana ka tarikha, pehle paan muh mein lene ke baad direct chabane ka nahi, muh mein ek taraf rakh ke, dheere dheere se chabaana chahiye, isse achhi tarah se lal bhi hoga aur khane maja aayega. Iss fast ki duniya mein dheere karne mein kuch alag hi maza hai.

Paan khane ke baad mein aur mera dost ye discuss karte the ki paan ka peek(chabane ke baad ka juice) ko thokna ya nigalna. Bahut time ke baad pata chal ki thokna bolke. Pehle toh sada paan ka peek ko thok tha aur baki paan jaise meenakshi aur meetha paan ko nigalte the.

Thode mere pasandita paan ke dukana Bidar ke purane shahar ke. A1 paan shop near Chitra Chai, Aziz bhai paan shop near flower market, kusum galli ki paan shop, Zp office road petrol pump ke bajo wala paan shop, Chidri ring road ki paan ki dukan, shalimaar paan shop Ambedkar circle road. Fauzi chai ke bazo wala paan ka dukaan, Aur Galaxy Pan Shop multani chowk jo raat tamam khuli rehta.

Ek kissa share karna chata hoon. Ek din hamare ek mitr ko bidar ghumate ghumate bola ki Bidar paan mein kuch maza hai bolke. Toh usko sada paan try karaya mera recipe wala. Thodi der chabane ke baad mera dost ye bolta ki stone jaisa cheez kya hai paan mein bolke. Toh mein bolta ki ye sopaari hain. Woh sopari ko nikal deta aur sirf paan chabata hain. Ye kabhi yaad karke hasta hoon.

Chalo kal milte hain...
