Happy Birthday Rupie

Rupie is about to enter the building. She hesitates at the door. It is dark. Suddenly the lights come on, accompanied with a loud - "SURPRISE!!!" The entire Sonuholic family has gathered together to throw a party for her. And what d'you know? Some special guests are there as well 😍

Sonu puts his hand on her shoulder and leads her into the hall. It has been beautifully decorated with colourful balloons and tinsel.  There's a huge red balloon hanging from the ceiling, with the words - HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUPIE. And right in the centre of the hall is a table with a yummy chocolate cake.

Jagjit Singhji (pointing to the cake) - 

Hothon se chu lo tum, 

Yeh cake amar kar do.                             

Rupie goes to the table to cut the cake. But there's no knife. Nobody remembered to bring one along. 

Sonu - Pal pal pal pal har pal har pal

            Kaise katega yeh cake iss pal?

One of the guests has a Swiss knife in his pocket and Rupie manages to cut the cake with the wee little knife. 

Anu Malik arrives, late as usual. Rupie offers him a piece of cake. 

Anu Malik - Cake toh khaata rahunga, pehle...

                      Ek garam chai ki pyaali ho.

Soon Amitabh Bachchan arrives with a balle balle and sets everyone moving and grooving. 

Amitabh Bachchan

Ek Punjaban, kudi Punjaban, 

Hey, kudi pataaka, Dil churaake le gayi...

Just then the big red balloon bursts with a loud bang. 

Kailash Kher - Toota toota ek gubaara

                           Aise phoota ki phir jud na paya. 

Rupie looks at the balloon, teary-eyed.

Seeing his sister sad, Sonu puts his arms around her.

Sonu - Tere dil ka, mere dil se,

            Rishta purana hai.

            Inn aankhon se, har aanshoo

            Mujhko churana hai...

            Apne birthdays ko

            Sang-sang manana hai.

It is time for Lataji to leave. She gently touches Rupie's head and gives her, her blessings. 

Lataji - Har khushi ho wahaan,

              Tu jahaan bhi rahe...

              Zindagi ho wahaan,

              Tu jahaan bhi rahe...

              Teri raaton pe raaton 

              Ka saya na ho...

              Roshni ho wahaan,

              Tu jahaan bhi rahe.

Happy Birthday Rupie. Hope you enjoyed this virtual party as much as the real one.


Keep 😊 friends. Life is beautiful. Cherish each moment. 
Har par yahaan, jee bhar jiyo...
