Followings two are the actual experience of today:

1. After breakfast I forwarded to my friend’s house for a casual meeting. His house is on first floor and balcony faces road. On reaching there I saw at his balcony and sprang from the road level:  Behanji if my friend is available? Prompt came the reply and I was astonished my friend Sardarji himself replied: Yes Bajaj Jee welcome please reach at first floor. Actually my friend was resting in balcony in a chair with his back facing the road enabling the hairs to dry after Sunday washing. Ah Kya Teri Zulfein Hai ?


2. In the evening I visited nearby Gurudwara and on reaching there I noticed two were on their knees and head (covered with a handkerchief) bowing before Holy Granth Sahib. I waited for my turn till they finish. And when they finished and turned face toward me and I sparked,  Vow Wonderful!. The two girls equipped! Yes, uncle we both are without JADU KA JAAL and exactly boy cut and dressed to look like boy.

The subject topic has been dealt so romantically in too many films, here are some of them:-

1. Film Tumsa Nahin Dekha: Mohd. Rafi sang for Shammi Kapoor:  Zulfein hai ya Badlian. Aankhe hai ya bijlian…….


2. Film Mamta starring Dharmender, Suchitra Sen, Ashok Kumar: Rafi: Inn Baharoon mein akele na pheero rah mein kali ghata rok na le.   Lata: Iss kaali ghata se mujhe kiya; ye to khud hai meri ZULFO ke tale.


3. Film DO DIL starring Vishawajeet, Rajshree, Mahmood, Mumtaz, Pran:  Rafi sings for Vishwajeet:  Balon mein hai sawan ki ghata galo mein hai poonam ki ghata.


4. Film Insaan: Mumtaz, Dharmender, Saira Banu:    Ye hai reshmi zulfon ka andhera na ghabraiye zahan tak mehak hai chale aaiye.


5. Ek Musafir Ek Hasina: Joy Mukerjee and Sadhna:  Mein pyar ka raahi hoon, kuchh der teri zulfon ke saaya mein thaher jaun?  Tum ek musafir hoon kab chhod ke chal doge yeh sauch ke mein ghabrau……


6. In Chaudwi ka Chand: Rafi sings for Guru Dutt: Zulfein hai ki kandhe pe BADAL jhuke huay…….


7. Etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. too many

Now anyone can let me know after all why the modern girls, though very few,  prefers to go for complete boy cut. And afterall  what is ZULFEIN? Jadu ka jaal, kali ghata, badlian, ya tree full of shadow?.
