Devdas Syndrome (my contribution to the world psychiatric encyclopedia)

Kaun kambakht jeeta hai saans lene ke liye?
Main to jeeta hun taake pi sakun

(What fool lives in order to breathe?
I live so that I can drink)

The above lines have been quoted, misquoted, distorted by many before; my version above, I want to believe, is the most original deviation from the real original.

Courtesy, and with apologies to:

Sarat Babu


Bimal Roy



Dilip Kumar

Jeene ke liye chahiye ek cheez; kissi ke paas shabab hai, hamare paas sharab hai. 

I replied:

Arre kamaal likha aapne
is par ho jaaye jaam saath mein
shabab to jaata hai jald jahaanam mein
chalo ham doobe jaaye sharaab mein
