#irrfan Aaj kabristan gaya. Late. Sahabzade Irfan Ali Khan se milne. Boht waqt se mann tha, par jaanta nahi tha ki yeh mumkin hai. Par aaj gya, aur mulaakat hui. Jiss din unke jaane ki khabar aayi, main boht roya, bebass mehsoos hua. Aaj roya nahi, bas unke saath waqt bitaya. Do hafte pehle main Bombay lauta. Jab maine @iamroysanyal ki post padhi ki vo bhi Irfan se milkar aaye, toh maine unse pta poocha, aur chala gya. Unke bete @babil.i.k ne bhi likha tha. Main apni diary saath lekar gaya tha aur maine unko vo nazm padhkar sunayi jo maine uss din unke jaane ke baad likhi thi - "tum jaldi chale gaye irfan." Maine @chhabs2 ki likhi hui Irrfan ki kitaab June mein mangwayi thi, par aajtak uska ek bhi panna nahi padh paaya tha. Kyunki shayad yeh mulakaat adhoori thi. Aaj wahan baith kar maine uss kitaab ka introduction chapter padha (swipe left) Jismein unki zindagi, unki @tabutiful ke saath boht khoobsoorat film 'The Namesake', unki patni @sikdarsutapa , aur baaki boht si cheezon ka zikr hai. Main Irfan ko jaanta nahi tha, unke saath kabhi kaam karne ka mauka bhi nahi mila, Bombay aur industry se kuch saal rehne ke baad unko aaj tak saamne se dekha tak nahi, par aaj Roohdaar se roohbaru hokar kuch adhoora sa poora hogya. तुम थोड़ा जल्दी चले गये, इरफ़ान। वो डोर जो तुम्हारे हाथ से छूट रही थी, काश खुद को लपेट लेती तुम्हारे चारों और। - समर @irrfan ❤️
