MAKHAN  LAL  SARAF( 16-11-2024)

The doyen of acting  was there inside Abhinav Theatre Jammu to recive HARMONY  INDIA ,LIFETIME  ACHIEVEMENT  AWARD today . Saraf Sahib is better now. He can walk, talk, agree  and  balk .I felt happy to see him smile. He was accompanied by two members of his family who never let him remain alone This is the conversation that I had with him:

"Do you recognise me ?"

"Why not .I was asking everyone  where is my friend . I thank  this group for remembering me . "

" What is my name ?"

" I remember. I love you . After my illness, I forget names . How can I forget you. Come tomorrow. Two documents I want to show to you. I can't ask everybody ."

" What is my name ?"

" How can I forget you . Somebody told me you had come to see me when I was sick. I don't know anything. "

I saw him trying to recollect . At the same time he wanted me to feel as if he already remembered it .

" Do you remember any Mota ?"

 He smiles, opens his arms ,hugs me and says :-

" Avtar Mota .  How can I forget you. Come tomorrow. I will show two documents .Give me your book . Bansi Parimu book. You had kept one at my residence but somebody took it .I don't remember. I was not well  .I am waiting. "

I was very happy to see him today. I have  seen him when he was  unwell and unable to recognise any person . May he stay healthy and active .
