Last year, around August 15th, which is the Indian Independance Day, we went to the Asian theater in Manhattan to watch Chak De India (This movie explores sensitive topics of ethnic prejudices, sexism and cultural tolerance through the field sport of hockey in India).
It was a very memorable experience watching this movie and the patriotic instincts within our hearts came leaping back to our minds. I had then, put down some of these in a poem to capture the humorous side of this whole movie experience. Its in Hindi and goes as below:
Shabdon mein kaise kare koi zahir, swatantra divas ka yeh suhana ehsaas
Rang de Basanti ne chedha inquilab, toh Chak De India ne failadi jeet ki mithaas.
Ab Hum shayaraana mastano ko, rok sake to rok le zamaana ye,
Arey bacchke nahin ja payega koi, hum jaise Awaara Paagal Deewano se.
Dhoom machadi kal hum sab ne, Imaginasian theater ki chaukhat pe,
Toot padi thi hum sabki awaazein, "Silence please" kehnewaale American Desi pe.
Jaise jaise dikhati gayi Womens National Hockey team, Andaz Apna Apna,
Waise waise hum bhi gatein gaye, hamarein Swades ke naaron ka taraana.
Cinema se nikale to yaad aaya ki, hai toh hum US mein jahaan bharna hai 33% Lagaan,
Kya kare ab chale chalo Saathiya, basa diya hai humne to Pardes mein hi, hamara ashiyaan!!
