In the previous episode, we spoke about the deep and strange relationship between the arid sandy deserts of Sahara and the dense green rainforests of Amazon, the Yin-Yang of it and why we discuss this in Madhushala. One more story was from Bachchan’s childhood, of his birthday and Chamarin Amma (shout out episode 12). Today, we will talk about Bachchan’s friend “Karkal”, nostalgia, and emerald island in Madhushala.
पिछले अंक में हमने बात की थी कि Amazon rain forest यानी Amazon के घने बरसाती जंगलों और सहारा के सूखे रेतीले रेगिस्तान का आपस में क्या रिश्ता है, इसमें Yin-Yang का क्या संदर्भ है और मधुशाला में ये बातें कहाँ से आ गई! और एक कहानी सुनाई थी बच्चन जी के बचपन की, जिसमें चमारिन अम्मा से जुड़ा एक किस्सा भी था। आज बात करते हैं कुछ nostalgia, augmented reality, बच्चन जी के मित्र “कर्कल” की, और मरकत द्वीप की।
अधरों पर हो कोई भी रस जिह्वा पर लगती हाला, भाजन हो कोई हाथों में लगता रक्खा है प्याला,
हर सूरत साकी की सूरत में परिवर्तित हो जाती, आँखों के आगे हो कुछ भी, आँखों में है मधुशाला (32)
and -
किसी ओर मैं आँखें फेरूँ, दिखलाई देती हाला, किसी ओर मैं आँखें फेरूँ, दिखलाई देता प्याला,
किसी ओर मैं देखूं, मुझको दिखलाई देता साकी, किसी ओर देखूं, दिखलाई पड़ती मुझको मधुशाला (39)

In the previous episode, we time-travelled to Mahabharat era where Guru Drona was testing his students and then we spoke about Koyal’s penance, how it turned white to black. In this episode, we take a walk in the nature and how far and distant objects in the universe are all linked with each other – as displayed in the first Rubaai today.
पिछले एपिसोड में हमने थोड़ा टाइम-ट्रैवल किया था और हम चले गए थे महाभारत युग में जहां गुरु द्रोणाचार्य अपने शिष्यों की परीक्षा ले रहे थे, और एक बात बताई थी कोयल सफेद से काली क्यूँ हो गई और ऐसी क्या तपस्या की थी। आज हम मधुशाला में प्रकृति की बात कर रहे हैं कि कैसे दूर दूर तक के हिस्से एक दूसरे से जुड़े हुए हैं – सुनते हैं इस एपिसोड में।
सूर्य बने मधु का विक्रेता, सिंधु बने घट, जल, हाला - बादल बन-बन आए साकी, भूमि बने मधु का प्याला,
झड़ी लगाकर बरसे मदिरा रिमझिम, रिमझिम, रिमझिम कर - बेलि, विटप, तृण बन मैं पीऊँ, वर्षा ऋतु हो मधुशाला (30)
And -
तारक मणियों से सज्जित नभ बन जाए मधु का प्याला - सीधा करके भर दी जाए उसमें सागरजल हाला,
मत्त समीरण साकी बनकर अधरों पर छलका जाए - फैले हों जो सागर तट से विश्व बने यह मधुशाला (31)

In the previous episode, we talked about the the Bachchan's struggles for publishing Madhushala as a book for the first time, and then the blessings that he received. We also spoke about "Wants vs Needs". In this episode, let's take a walk towards Hastinapur and meet Karna and Arjun there :-)
पिछले एपिसोड में हमने कहानी सुनाई थी कि मधुशाला को पहली बार किताब के रूप में प्रकाशित होने के लिए कितने पापड़ बेलने पड़े थे, कैसे बच्चन जी को ये काम अपने ही हाथों में लेना पड़ा था और मधुशाला को शुरू में ही क्या आशीर्वाद मिल था, और एक बात कि थी Wants vs needs कि लड़ाई की। आज हम चलते हैं हस्तिनापुर की ओर, और बात करते हैं कर्ण और अर्जुन की। एक और बात बताएंगे कोयल की तपस्या के बारे में -
इस एपिसोड में बात होंगी इन रुबाइयों की -
मुख से तू अविरत कहता जा मधु, मदिरा, मादक हाला, हाथों में अनुभव करता जा एक ललित कल्पित प्याला,
ध्यान किए जा मन में सुमधुर सुखकर, सुंदर साकी का, और बढ़ा चल, पथिक, न तुझको दूर लगेगी मधुशाला (8)
- और -
यज्ञ अग्नि सी धधक रही है मधु की भटठी की ज्वाला, ऋषि सा ध्यान लगा बैठा है हर मदिरा पीने वाला,
मुनि कन्याओं सी मधुघट ले फिरतीं साकीबालाएँ, किसी तपोवन से क्या कम है मेरी पावन मधुशाला (54)

In 1954, when Bachchan ji landed in Mumbai after sailing for 18 days on his return journey from London, there was a Kavi Goshthi organized in his honor. He was asked to recite some poems, but he recited a fun parody instead, rhyming with the names of his most popular poems :-) such as -
मैं हूं बच्चन जी मस्ताना, लिखता हूँ मस्ती का गाना,
मैंने खोली है मधुशाला, जिसमें रहती है मधुबाला!
Then we also talk about Robert Browning’s “Rabbi Ben Ezra” and Hafeez Jalandhari’s “Abhi to main jawaan hoon” while talking about different stages of life.

Bareilly has played a very important and dramatic role in Bachchan’s life. Circa 1938, it’s just been about a year since the death of Shyama, the first wife of Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchan. He has not written any new poem since her passing but attends poetry events (Kavi Sammelan) for his own peace (स्वांत: सुखाय). One such invite came from Bareilly and this is where he comes across an admirer of his poetry, who commits suicide in front of the very train that Mr Bachchan was travelling on.
गिर-गिर टूटे घट-प्याले, - बुझ दीप गए सब क्षण में,
सब चले किए सिर नीचे - ले अरमानों की झोली;
गूँजी मदिरालय भर में - लो, ‘चलो, चलो’ की बोली!
But, can his poetry be termed ‘Morbid’, or be held responsible to driving one to end his/her life? Madhushala does not urge people to do this, even in its sadness, some such lines:
कुचल हसरतें कितनी अपनी, हाय, बना पाया हाला,
कितने अरमानों को करके ख़ाक बना पाया प्याला!
पी पीनेवाले चल देंगे, हाय, न कोई जानेगा,
कितने मन के महल ढहे तब खड़ी हुई यह मधुशाला!
We also talk about an English poet AE Houseman, whose poetry actually urged people to end their life if it becomes a burden. He said, “And if your hand or foot offend you – Cut it off, lad, and be whole; But play the man, stand up and end you – When your sickness is your soul”
Bareilly was yet to give another dramatic role in Bachchan’s life - stay tuned to know more ;-)

Circa 1950s to 1970s – That there was a bond between Acharya Rajneesh aka OSHO and Dr Harivansh Rai Bachchan is not a common knowledge. There were similarities between Osho’s preaching and the messages from Madhushala even though Madhushala was written when Osho was a toddler. It is said that he was inspired by Madhushala and other poems of Bachchan ji, which is reflected in his sermons and at his Ashrams. Such as – धर्मग्रन्थ सब जला चुकी है जिसके अन्तर की ज्वाला, कर सकती है आज उसी का स्वागत मेरी मधुशाला!
Or this when it comes to Dhyaan or Meditation - ध्यान किए जा मन में सुमधुर सुखकर, सुन्दर साक़ी का, और चलाचल, पथिक, न तुझको दूर लगेगी मधुशाला!
Or this when it comes to dancing in a state of trance – आँख चार हों जिसकी मेरे साकी से दीवाना हो, पागल बनकर नाचे वह जो आए मेरी मधुशाला
There was also a fallout between Osho and Dr Bachchan, how and why? Let’s take a listen :-)
In between, we also talk about the movie “Rose Island” when re read these lines – फिर मैं नभ-गुम्बद के नीचे नव-निर्मल द्वीप बनाऊँगी, जिस पर हिल-मिल कर बसने को सम्पूर्ण जगत को लाऊंगी

In the previous episode, we discussed the idea of “Life is a long weekend” in Madhushala and what Dr Bachchan said about the convergence of happiness and sorrow in one’s life – and how that reflects in Madhushala. In this episode, let’s talk about the struggles behind publishing Madhushala as a book for the first time.
पिछले अंक में हमने बात की कि मधुशाला में Life is a long weekend की फिलासफी कैसे दिखाई देती है, बच्चन जी के जीवन में सुख और दुख के साथ आने की बातें, और वो मधुशाला की कविताओं में कैसे झलकती हैं! आज सुनाते हैं कहानी कि मधुशाला को किताब के रूप में आने के लिए कितने पापड़ बेलने पड़े थे!
इस एपिसोड में बात होंगी इन रुबाइयों की -
भावुकता अंगूर लता से खींच कल्पना की हाला, कवि साकी बनकर आया है भरकर कविता का प्याला,
कभी न कण-भर खाली होगा लाख पिएँ, दो लाख पिएँ, पाठकगण हैं पीनेवाले, पुस्तक मेरी मधुशाला (4)
- और -
मधुर भावनाओं की सुमधुर नित्य बनाता हूँ हाला, भरता हूँ इस मधु से अपने अंतर का प्यासा प्याला,
उठा कल्पना के हाथों से स्वयं उसे पी जाता हूँ, अपने ही में हूँ मैं साकी, पीनेवाला, मधुशाला (5)

In the previous episode, we shared a ‘shayarana’ banter between Ghalib, Iqbal, Faraz, et al. We also discussed the story of Professor Amarnath Jha, who was a mentor to Dr Bachchan and how he had decided about his last rituals even when he was alive. In this episode, let’s talk about the happiness and sorrow coming together in life.
पिछले अंक में हमने बात की थी मंदिर मस्जिद मदिरालय के बारे में नोकझोंक भरी कुछ शेरो-शायरी की – ग़ालिब, इकबाल, अहमद फराज़ आदि और बात की थी बच्चन जी के गुरु प्रोफेसर अमरनाथ झा की और उन्होंने अपनी मृत्यु के बारे में पहले से ही क्या तय कर लिया था! आज सुनते बातें सुख और दुख के साथ आने की -
सब मिट जाएँ, बना रहेगा सुन्दर साकी, यम काला, सूखें सब रस, बने रहेंगे, किन्तु, हलाहल औ' हाला,
धूमधाम औ' चहल पहल के स्थान सभी सुनसान बनें, जगा करेगा अविरत मरघट, जगा करेगी मधुशाला (22)
And -
बुरा सदा कहलायेगा जग में बाँका, चंचल प्याला, छैल छबीला, रसिया साकी, अलबेला पीनेवाला,
पटे कहाँ से, मधुशाला औ' जग की जोड़ी ठीक नहीं, जग जर्जर प्रतिदन, प्रतिक्षण, पर नित्य नवेली मधुशाला (23)
And -
एक बरस में, एक बार ही जगती होली की ज्वाला, एक बार ही लगती बाज़ी, जलती दीपों की माला,
दुनियावालों, किन्तु, किसी दिन आ मदिरालय में देखो, दिन को होली, रात दिवाली, रोज़ मनाती मधुशाला (26)

In the previous episode, we shared the story of ‘Chamma’ (Lachhminiya aka Chamarin Amma), who was she to newly born Harivansh Rai and what effect she had on his poetry, written much later. There was another story of Bachchan’s birth in ‘Mool Nakshatra’ and what happened because of that! Today we start with some poetic banter between Ghalib, Iqbal and others. There is also a story of Professor Amarnath Jha and how is he related to Dr. Bachchan.
पिछले अंक में हमने बात की थी की बच्चन जी के बचपन में लछमिनियाँ कौन थी, उन्हें चम्मा क्यूँ कहते थे और उनका बच्चन जी पर क्या असर रहा, और एक बात की थी उनके मूल नक्षत्र में जन्म होने की – आज शुरुआत करते हैं ग़ालिब और इकबाल की कुछ बातों से – ग़ालिब कहते हैं:
"ज़ाहिद शराब पीने दे मस्जिद में बैठ कर - या वो जगह बता दे जहाँ ख़ुदा न हो"
आगे क्या हुआ सुनते हैं एपिसोड में, और चर्चा करते हैं बच्चन जी के गुरु प्रोफेसर अमरनाथ झा की, चलिए सुनते हैं:
सजें न मस्जिद और नमाज़ी कहता है अल्लाताला, सजधजकर, पर, साकी आता, बन ठनकर, पीनेवाला,
शेख, कहाँ तुलना हो सकती मस्जिद की मदिरालय से, चिर विधवा है मस्जिद तेरी, सदा सुहागिन मधुशाला (48)
And -
बिना पिये जो मधुशाला को बुरा कहे, वह मतवाला, पी लेने पर तो उसके मुँह पर पड़ जाएगा ताला,
दास द्रोहियों दोनों में है जीत सुरा की, प्याले की, विश्वविजयिनी बनकर जग में आई मेरी मधुशाला (24)
And -
ज्ञात हुआ यम आने को है ले अपनी काली हाला, पंडित अपनी पोथी भूला, साधू भूल गया माला,
और पुजारी भूला पूजा, ज्ञान सभी ज्ञानी भूला, किन्तु न भूला मरकर के भी पीनेवाला मधुशाला (86)
There are so many memories from Bachchan's life that cannot be told in one episode, so watch out for more :-)

In the previous episode, we discussed the story behind the name “Harivansh Rai” and of a bad experience Bachchan had as a kid for being a Kayasth, and how this experience impacted his poetry. We continue talking about some of Bachchan’s childhood memories in this episode, especially who was Chamarin Amma (aka Chamma) in Bachchan's life.
पिछले अंक में हमने बात की थी कि कविराज बच्चन जी का नाम हरिवंश राय कैसे रखा गया और सुनाया था एक किस्सा उनके बचपन का जब कायस्थ होने की वजह से उनका एक बार अपमान हुआ था और इसका असर उन पर क्या पड़ा! आज उसी सिलसिले में बच्चन जी के बचपन की कुछ और बातें। मधुशाला में कई कविताओं में देखने को मिलता है कि कैसे मधुशाला धर्म जाति और समाज के रूढ़िवादी रीति रिवाजों से दूर रहने का संदेश देती है, जैसे ये कविता सुनिए -
कोई भी हो शेख नमाज़ी या पंडित जपता माला, बैर भाव चाहे जितना हो मदिरा से रखनेवाला,
एक बार बस मधुशाला के आगे से होकर निकले, देखूँ कैसे थाम न लेती दामन उसका मधुशाला! (51)
And -
पथिक बना मैं घूम रहा हूँ, सभी जगह मिलती हाला, सभी जगह मिल जाता साकी, सभी जगह मिलता प्याला,
मुझे ठहरने का, हे मित्रों, कष्ट नहीं कुछ भी होता, मिले न मंदिर, मिले न मस्जिद, मिल जाती है मधुशाला (47)
And -
बजी नफ़ीरी और नमाज़ी भूल गया अल्लाताला, गाज गिरी, पर ध्यान सुरा में मग्न रहा पीनेवाला,
शेख, बुरा मत मानो इसको, साफ़ कहूँ तो मस्जिद को, अभी युगों तक सिखलाएगी ध्यान लगाना मधुशाला (49)
There are so many childhood memories from Bachchan's life that cannot be told in one episode, so watch out for more :-)
