Oh Dear Brother

I am here to provide a link to painstaking efforts to put over the Hanuman Chalisa at my website.. The ones who do not know Hindi can read the transliteration as well as the translation.. I must admit that neither the transliteration nor the translation is mine.. I shall however get to review them at a later time..

The link to Hanuman Chalisa...

Bhaai you were to do it with Adesh Srivastava.. if I am not very wrong.. whatever happened to that project.. bhaai.. nahi nahi, main aapse jawaab nahi maang raha bas yaad dila raha hoon..

he link is dedicated to my friends - Shankar, Sanjith and Sudhir I had not talked or heard much of them for long .. I hope they all would love it.. May I add some more recipients in Subash Kaura, Ravi Malhotra, Manish Parmar, Srinivas from USA, Ramanathan, Deepak Taunk,  Amitabh Ziibbu, Manoj Kumar Ojha, Rupam (Assam), Syed Kabeeruddin, Devkishin Vyas, Anashwar Chopra, Naresh Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan and for you.. who is no less than a Hanuman himself..

 

My female friends may better keep away from the Lord.. they say.. he is the manly god.. it is all right  do not believe as much in that though.. a God is a God after all..  and yes it is one of the favourites of Late Shrimati Taji Bachchan ji.. I remember her favourite way of starting a letter.. I now end my post with that

 

Jai Hanuman Gyaan gun sagar

Jai Kapeesh tihun lok ujagar
