theWall decoration is gaining momentum in the market. Standing at the confectionery shop. The wife has asked to bring 1 kg jalebi. Don't know, Jalebi has been on his tongue for the last ten days. Earlier I never even took the name of this sweet. There was no discussion below Kaju Katli. We had thought that the taste of milk and jalebi which was available in the villages, was lost somewhere in our childhood. Now even the big guns of Tajneeti are talking about Jalebi only… no one is talking about milk… ..Now if we talk about milk then all milk will turn into milk and water into water… Our childhood itself is the journey from saying Jabeli to Jalebi.
Diwali of the poor was also celebrated with Jalebi. If he got two pieces of Jalebi during his Lakshmi Puja, he used to say, this time Diwali was good, bhaya…the mouth of the children became sweet. Well, Jalebi has always been a subject of curiosity. Zigzag…where does it begin, where does it end, no end, no beginning. Just like Netaji. A good trademark of our politics… Obviously one day I had to come into limelight… When I saw Jalebi, I felt a little sad. The color was a little dull. Why brother, what happened?
Jalebi was probably saying, “These people did not leave me either. I was fine. Anyway, I was living in contempt on my fate in a plate lying in a corner in the confectionary shop. I was found fine by the bastards after leaving the confectionary shop. Didn't even allow it to be dipped in sugar syrup…like a ball…, now it is in this field, sometimes it is in that field… it has got all the juice squeezed out of it and made it a celebrity. Yes ….
What has happened now, a lot is yet to happen… I know, I have been watching for the last seventyfive years… they did not spare anyone… they set out to make gold from potatoes… now they will do my postmortem. .. You can see it!. Don't you see, research is going on on me. My grave is being dug, my family members are being traced. Where was she born from, where are the family documents missing… Someone is accusing me of being a foreigner, they have started asking me for papers as a refugee… Where will the papers come from now? Questions are being asked in my name. Many people also find my name meaningless. Then questions are being raised about my colour. Why only saffron? Why not green? Something about my shape… why is it crooked? Why are they not made straight?
In this country, only the leaders have the right to be crooked. Maybe tomorrow I will think of preserving it by spraying chemicals. Once made Jalebi, I will run it for full five years. Till now, in this era of adulteration, where pure milk, ghee, mawa were not available even in dreams, I was the only one who was available to people in pure form. Now my existence is also in danger. I will be sprayed with chemicals through commercial remedies to keep me fresh. I may be deprived of sugar syrup and told that real jalebi should not have sugar syrup. It is possible that tomorrow my original taste may be spoiled, packaged in different tastes like sour, sweet, bitter etc. and sold. Anything is possible in this country… Here people can also sprinkle tea in their own way. Was there not enough market to spoil our situation? Now politics has also hacked us. Look at the market…how my sister like Sohan Papdi is made fun of… Let there be something sweet in the name of your chocolate. Like under the slogan, my condition can also deteriorate tomorrow. The thing is certain, Jalebi's suspicion also seems to be true…
Ever since Jalebi has become popular in politics, perhaps it has also become popular in media. Every news is being served twisted like Jalebi, dipped in sugar syrup. The magic of Jalebi Bai's dance is moving from the film world to the political stage. Diwali is near, it seems this time Jalebi will leave Sohan Papdi also behind. Jalebi is sprinkling salt on someone's burn, while it is working as burnol on someone else's burn. I see, Jalebi will now be everywhere.
Netaji is already seeing the solution to the problem of unemployment in Jalebi, he has asked to set up a Jalebi factory. It seems that Jalebi has come as the horoscope of fortune of the unemployed… Anyway, the Sanskrit name of Jalebi is Kundalika. But he has specifically mentioned Haryanvi Jalebi. All the other states got embroiled in the debate regarding their Jalebi that the Jalebi of our state is special. Our Jalebi has five latches, theirs has four.
There can also be a debate regarding the color of Jalebi, the color of Jalebi has been kept keeping in mind the sentiments of people of a particular religion. This is playing with the sentiments of people of other religions in a secular country. Maybe some party may demand green colored jalebi. History is being dug that if Jalebi came from abroad, what was its colour?
Has the color been changed here? It is possible that people of some particular religion may have played a trick. Jalebi with sugar instead of jaggery… sugar has come from China… then a campaign to boycott foreign goods started. My son… is watching online. If a gift packet of Jalebi has arrived, then this time on Diwali we will gift only Jalebi.
