Satna Claus and Gabbar, the Great!


Five years have gone by and few things have changed. Still in the cold chill of the winter, when children around the world wait for Santa Claus, during the merry Christmas day, to bring them presents, kids in the small indian town of Satna wait for the "SATNA CLAUS". Yes, that is true! Last night, one of our close friends from Satna unveiled the story of this white old man from Satna. Incidentally Gabbar was with us. He seemed so interested and connected to this story that we started to have doubts. Doubts that don't easily go away, doubts that have led to the revelation of some of the biggest mysteries of the world!

When you hear the word 'gabbar', what is the first thing that comes to your mind? An old fat filthy shabby guy with a big belly, a gun in his hand and one of his eyes covered with an dirty cloth band. To be honest, many of us are very obliged to have lived with a guy with this name and one who doesn't even fall an inch short of the description.

In our early years at KGP, this is what schedule looked like : Eat, run, play, run, play, eat a bit, create funny names for others, run, play, propose some of his friends' girlfriends, run, play and sleep. He is honoured to have named many of our friends including those infested by the power of the devil. Neither the gults nor the biharis were saved from Gabbar's petname-giving ceremony.

It was not long when Rohit (Gabbar's alter-ego) realised he was the only one without a petname. Mounting frustation and irritation made him give up. Finally, one fine day, Rohit died and 'Gabbar' was born. He rose from the ashes of Rohit like a dog finds a new life when he is adopted. Rest they say is history.....


P.S.: In the meantime, the power of the devil was growing behind the shadows. Soon, his strength would take the entire hall down.

Will return with the story of 'Priori-de-sardar' and the attempt to unravel 'The Puttar Code'. The first clue is 'Tunak Tunak Tun...'
