seed #341
A day awaited with much eagerness was the death of the Magjus, reasons varied but they all agreed that enough is enough.
Khumar bharabankavi sahab was one of them. though the Magjus had not known him during his life, but they developed a deep bond with him especially after his death. Magju started to see him as maternal grandfather, it was mostly the spectacles, but loved him Magju did until he shifted his obsession to Qasim sahab.
Qasim sahab was hail and wanted to be hearty, so too he prayed for the death of Magjus. Amongst the others, so did Krishna Bihari Noor as for he was jealous of the Magjus’ love for Qasim so he ignored the Magjus’ love for him.
All these people and more awaited the death of the Magjus with great eagerness, holding their breath. holding the breath was pointless in heaven but they insisted to express their love.
When the Magjus came to the gates of heaven, they were denied for being naughty, which was fair but if the Magjus cant go to heaven then nothing is fair, so roared Juan Elia and these good folks who stood at the gates of heaven dying to kiss the Magjus on forehead and welcome them home. This made the Magjus blush.
When even after much requests, Chitragupta said he cant help, the nawabs of sukhan, all these good old folks cussed his bad aesthetic and lack of love for poetry and revolted.
“The Magjus that side
Us this side
You tell us
Heaven be on which side”
and with that they stormed out of the gates and hugged and cried with the Magjus.
They first made the Magjus sit and then they sat surrounding the Magjus and thus began the greatest mushaira that ever was.
Neem Moom Danish, was not allowed because he was a doppelganger of Bade Magju, but beloved by all, being a great poet that he is, salutations were announced loud enough for him to hear as he tried to peep and tried to catch hold of glimpses of Juan Elia kissing forehead of the Magjus as he sat holding them through out the event.
The din of the aesthetic and love pulled all the birds of heaven and all its colors.
Bhole baba Mahadev Maha Magju Shiv Shambho, inquired Chitragupta about why heaven doesnt feel like heaven and why havent the Magjus yet arrived. Chitragupta, a man of no sense for poetry said very unpoetically that because the Magjus have been naughty their application was rejected and complained about the audacity of them that they started a mushaira right outside the god damn gate of the gods!
Pissed at having missed important minutes of the mushaira, Bhole Baba Mahadev Maha Magju Shiv Shambho stepped out of the gates very eager to see his guests.
Thus went on the greatest mushaira of all times, with Bhole Baba Mahadev Maha Magju Shiv Shambho, siting with Magju and Bade Magju and dancing drunk on poetry. This is the origins of Tango Tandav. siting and dancing drunk can only happen to Magju poetry.
