Roganjosh : Based on movie Shikara (Part-3)

Ek refugee camp me rehte rehte kab 1 saal nikal gaya maloom hi nahi pada.Apne gharo ko khone ka gham aur ghaatiyon me huye dangon me apno ko jinda jalte dekhne ka, dard aaj bhi aankhein nam  kar jata hai. Par ab logo me hausla badha hai, cheeze sudhar rahi hai. Jab hum yha aaye the tab khaane peene ki bhut dikkate thi par ab cheeze badal gyi hai. Ab hum sab ne mil kar yha kuwaan khoda hai, hume paani lene ke liye door gaanv tak nahi jana hota, Subh Shiv bhi jaldi uth jaate hai to 7 baje tak unka favourite poha ready kar detii hooon, phir hum dono waha k baccho ko tutions padhate hai. Shiv ki thesis ka kaam bhi bhut hai, wo aqsar kehte hai ki ye thesis jab accept ho jaegi phir dekhna hum log ek bada sa ghar lenge Jalandhar me, do manzila, aur ek bageecha hoga jisme hum ek aam ka ped ungayenge waisa hi jaisa ki Baramullah wale Salim chacha k paas tha, 100-100 aam lagte hai usme aaj bhi.Shiv ko aam bhut pasand h,wo chote par Salim chacha ke haathon me do bade bade jhole dekh kar khus ho jaya krte the par abhi unko dekhti hu to lgata hai ki wo bachpana ab khatm ho gya jaise, 'Shikara' k saath unki khawshein bhi khatm ho gyi. Par mere liye to sirf Shiv ka khus rehna hi sab kch hai, mera ghar to wo hai, ek chhote sa tent ho ya jalandhar mein do manzila makaan, mere liye to sab ek jaisa h.Mera ghar to aap hai shiv.Shaam ho chali thi, aur Army walo ki truck khaane peene k jaroori samaan leker aane wali thi.Aj shiva ka Birthday hai, aur mai unke liye unki favourite dish Roganjosh banane wali thi. Par yha na poore masale hai na pakane ke accche bartan , sochti hoon ki apna Pulwama wala ghr hota to aaj unke liye ek shaandaar sa cake banati aur Roganjosh to aisa ki unko apni maa ki yaad aa jaye."Shanti Mam, sir hai kya andar", camp k bacche tent k bahar khade the."Ha aa jao", maine kaha"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear sir", sab line me khade hokar ek swar m gaane lageTabhi Army ka ek jawan, Iqbaal Khaan, uski wardi p likha tha, jisko maine shayd pehle kabhi dekha bhi ni,wo aya aur mere haath me cake thama gya."Madam ye baache bhut zid krte the, kayi dino se mghse siffarish kar rahe the ki mai unke liye cake le aau.Aaj subh Karachi se laut raha tha to ye Pineapple cake leta aya.Waise agar pata hota Shiv shahab ka birtday hai to mai ispe naam bhi likwa leta unka"Mai khusi se phooli ni sama rahi thi.Tab tak ye bhi aa gye aur sb baccho se milne lage.Cake cutting k baad wo sb hume alvidaa keh kar apne apne tent me chale gye."Ab nikaliye humara favourite" Shiv  mughe dekh kar muskurate hue bole
