Issue 38 | May 25, 2025
Hello jee, kaise hai aap
Yes Yes, I was missing for some Time. Kuch naye pange le leta hu that keeps me busy. Sach batau to inn pango ke bina Maza bhi nahi aata jeene ka. As you know mera ek usool hai ki “Life mein pagalpanti bhi zaroori hai” bas wohi hai yeh Gol gappa Day ki kahani.
Kahaniyan abhi bahaut hai, last week I went to Bombay for the Godrej Food Trends Report 2025 launch and apne Meta Glasses wahi bhool aaya. Thankfully, I have them back now.
I love meeting people, I love to talk with them. I love talking to them jo bolte hai aur wohi kar rahe hote hai. And aise to bahut hai jo Gyaan zyada dete hai, Jhooth bolte hai, and andar khokhle hote hai. I stay away from these people, chahe woh jitne bhi Turram Khan ho. Aaj ki dursi kahani was written by me in December 2013. Bas karmo ki kuch kahani hai. Parrna, Acchi lagegi.
Baaki keep sharing your views, Thoughts, Secrets, Khushiyaan, Pareshaani with me on [email protected]
I promise, I shall reply.
Milte hai aapko next week jee, Aaj ke Mister Tikku Gol Gappa Day ke baad koi nayi paagalpanti bhi to karni hai
Aapka Apna
Tikku Bhaiya
Mister Tikku Gol Gappa Day
Apna ek usool hai ki “Pagalpanti Nahi Rukni Chahiye”
And jab bhi lagta hai ruk rahi hai tab we create something alag sa.
Jaise ki 5 Months back we wrote and recorded a Gol Gappa Song.
Just because Gol gappa hum sabka pyaar hai and kaafi yaaadein bhi jurri hai.
Jab Video bankar aayi to I thought ki aise hi publish kar denge to maza nahi ayega,
So I thought ki ek event karte hai.
Aur apna ek aur ussool hai “Jo Karo Vadda Karo”
Issi Theme ko dimaag mein rakhte hue we created Mister Tikku Gol Gappa Day. We planned to get 30 Good Gol Gappa shops together and ask them to offer a special price for Gol Gappas that day.
Par then jab humari Om Sweets se baat hui to laga, working with a Good Brand and giving them value is better than engaging with 10 different brands.
And hence was born “Mister Tikku Gol Gappa Day”
On 25th May, all 20 Outlets of Om Sweets will be offering Gol Gappa to all Visitors (4 pm onwards) at a special price of Rs. 25 for 5 Golgappas. Interestingly, the date is also the same: 25/5.
To promote this, we have created 2 Reels, Erected Hoardings across Delhi, Gurgaon, and Faridabad, and placed Standees and Photo Ops at all outlets for over a week. We have also created a Gol Gappa inflatable to engage Patrons at 5 Outlets. Baaki Gol Gappa Ki video bhi hai, and the song will play at all outlets on loop from 4 P.m. onwards at Om Sweets Outlets.
I shall be visiting 5 Outlets tomorrow.
I am happy that this Pagalpanti has been brought to life and is spreading Smiles through Gol Gappa 🙂
Aap bhi jaao jee, Gol Gappa Day par Gol Gappe Khaao jee
Paanch Rupye ka Namak Paara – Karam Ka Khel
This Story was written and published on 9 Dec 2013
It’s a Story of how people dont follow what they preach to others.
Kal dekhi yeh story and I was tempted to share aap sabke saath.
A Short Experience on how people Don’t Walk the Talk. This is Story of a ShopKeeper who Show offs that he believes in Karma, but Actually does not.
A few Days ago a Friend posted on Eatlo, enquiring about where he can find Bhaji Boxes in Old Delhi or Karol Bagh.
And the Query transported me back by 20 years to a wonderful World, when we stayed in Karol Bagh.It was time when there was not even one day when we didn’t have Matthi, Namak para , Gurr ki Mithai, Tossa at our place.
One reason was that we really loved it and also because the best shops were near our place.
So, as soon it finished, I would pick up my Blue Coloured, Hero Ranger Cycle and rush to grab some more.
So, when it was asked on Eatlo, I could not resist commenting and advising to get it from Mohan Sweets in Desh Bandhu Gupta Market, which was my favourite shop there.
One more reason of this being my Favourite shop was that the Pot Bellied Aged owner would smile seeing me… And would always give an extra piece of Mithai in my hand… irrespective if I bought for Rs 10 or Rs 50.
Today, I was in Karol Bagh for some Work. And as it was Lunch time, I was feeling hungry.
So, I went to Om Corner and had Bhature Cholle. And then to have some Meetha, headed to nearby Sindhi Corner for Rabri Faluda.
After having my fill, When I was about to come back…… I remembered the post and headed to Mohan Sweets.
The Shop looked the same and brought back many memories.
Even the Salesman behind the Counter was same.
I asked him to pack a 1 Kg Box of Bhaji. In a minute the 48 year old Owner of the shop too joined him and I could remember seeing him Bees Saal pehle.
(Pic of the Bhaji Box I Bought)
Meanwhile a Group of School Students came there. And one of them Stretched his hand with a Rs 10 note and asked for “Paanch Rupye ke Namak pare” And the Owner Said.. “Chal aage ja”.
Was really astonished to see this attitude of the owner. The kid with his head bowed down walked away.
And I wondered how a Shopkeeper can talk like this. Rather, he should have taken Rs 5 and give whatever the Weighing scale would have justified. Or at the maximum Smiled and told his inability to do so.
(The Boy who came to the Shop is one of these Smiling, Beaming School Children. Couldn’t resist capturing their Innocence)
Firstly, he should not have talked to the Kid like this, also who was his Current Consumer, and would have come back ordering MORE in the future. Just Like I have come today!!
What was more Ironical is that on the Weighing Scale of the Shop, a Doha of Kabir was written citing the Importance of Karma (Pic Attached)
(Pic of the DOHA on the Weighing Scale of Mohan Sweets)
One thing is for Sure that he has lost the Customer in me, But If I go to his Place…. Would surely give him another Kabir Doha… And probably ask him to paste it facing him
(My planned Gift for the Owner of Mohan Sweets)
