Bhali Entry : Thrill Horror Suspense Series (Ajay Dhillon)

There were many Indians publications in India, Many published Misc comics on fairy tales and detective stories. But It was Raj comics, who put Horror series on the map. When the "Thrill Horror Suspense" series was launched, It was a Instant hit. After the success of this series, Many Indian publishers tried to follow this success and created their own Horror series. But their Horror series were always second rate in both stories and illustrations. But our Raj comics always managed to bring new and interesting horror concepts to the readers. I would like to start by saying, I was originally a Nagraj fan since my early childhood, I was crazy for Nagraj series, But that changed on a one milestone day. I remember my first THS comic "Hytaari Gend", It was the issue which made me a huge fan of the series. I remember turning the pages and being amused by the spooky artwork. I remember getting up the very next morning and realizing that I had misplaced the comic book. I tried looking around the house, in every corner, But I could not find it. This really depressed me, But my mother, who was cleaning the house at the time, found the comic under my bed. Oh, How I was thankful to her! This one issue is all It really took, I had been won over by RC's Thrill Horror Series. It became a addiction for me, A very strong connection was made between a innocent child and the spooky ghosts of RC (hehe). Moreover, Whenever my father visited the market, I always requested Thrill Horror comics over Nagraj, and he never disappointed me. I will not forget to tell you, I love my father to death, Not just for the relationship, Because he understood my desire and the Janoon for

Raj comics. He grew up with Phantom comics and he supported me for my addiction throughout my childhood. Even when my mother became upset and yelled at me over my craze, He was still there, After work he would be there with every new THS and Nagraj issue in his hand. I love him for that, thank you so much for looking out for me dear pops! Once he picked me up from school, and we stopped at a local comics shop to purchase a new THS issue called "Bhago maut jagi". I have been waiting for this particular issue for a very long time (days turn to months when your comics crazy!) and I danced in joy as I held the issue in my little hands. As we were riding on his scooter back home, I told him that "This all looks like a dream", He was amused by my comment and he gently said "I know how you feel". I had read many Horror comics in other Indian publications, But honestly, none of them touched my heart like Raj comics did. Sanjay ji always managed to deliver something new, something different, something fresh to their fans. This was the difference between other publications and our RC. Raj comics did it for the fans, the profession, money never seen as their main objective. It was their genuine connection to the comics, which helped them survive through the journey. I remember when "Ek Katoora khoon" was released, I went to the market with my father and his friend. As much as I love my father, he had one weakness, He could never consider spending money for the SPCL issues. He always requested (request, because he did not deny either!) that I purchase general comics first. But this particular issue caught my eye, the cover was so horrific and creepy, that I had to have it in my hands. I kept demanding it, They kept trying to change my mind. Finally (thankfully) my father's friend stepped in and told my father "Kiyo bacha ko naraz ker raha ho...khreed do yaar". And that's all it took, I still thank my father's buddy for taking my side. This was the ultimate THS comics I had ever read, Raj comics really put their heart and soul into this issue and it showed! This is one of the personal experiences I cannot forget, and it will always sit comfortably in the corner of my mind. There was even a time when I was very scared after reading a very scary THS comics called "Chumgadad". I went to sleep that same night and all I could see

was the Chumgadad (Giant bat) flying around in my dreams, trying to get me! I woke up shaking and sweating. I did not waste a second and I rushed to my parents bed. I felt the comfort and security, as I lay between my mom and dad. It was amazing how Raj comics managed to scare the reader with their artwork and story lines. This was a art, a skill....not mastered by many at that time. That was also quite a near death experience for me (hehe). My janoon for this series even went over my head. It made me steal (gulp), Yes, It even made me steal...can you believe it!? What does a child like me needed, A comic book and I was willing to do anything for it. I had lost my most beloved THS issue called "Chamgadad" and I found out that my nebhiour (also a comics fan) had that issue. My nebhiour had a younger brother, I was friends with this crazy kid. I made a deal with him that If he steals me that issue, I will buy him candy. I knew it was wrong, But my demons out witted my angels. The victory seemed to sweet to a kid like me, Even If it meant letting my morals loose for one time. Eventually, I had my success and he had his...poor child! But guess what? I was so clumsy as a kid, I lost that same issue in few days. In fact, I had lost 80% of my THS issues just by damaging them or misplacing them. I remember when the price of comics hiked from R.6 to R.8, It created a great confusion for me and my parents. I could not forget this one story, I was going to my after school tuition session and my mother gave me 10 rupees to purchase a comics on the way. I knew I will be late for my tution, But for me, Comics always came first...everything last. I went to my local shop and purchased the issue "Bhayanak Kutta" in THS, The issue said R.6 on it, But I ended up giving R.8 to the shop keeper. I remember I stuffed the comic in my bag in a hurry and rushed to my tuition, I was already 5 minutes late and I was waiting for the (well deserved) punishment. As I arrived there, My tuition teacher gave me the beating of my life...and I took it like a man! But you know what? To me, as a THS fan, The pain was nothing, The beating was every bit worth it! Even then, I could not focus on my tuition, I was constantly looking inside my Bag, trying to get a glimpse of the comic's artwork. When I came back home, My mother demanded the change back from me, Because The price tag said R.6 and I had paid R8 to the shop keeper. I did not want to feel embarrassed, So I told her that I purchased candy

with rest of the money and she gave me a good spanking. As the years went by, Collecting THS comics and losing them became a hobby, until Raj comics closed the series down in 1995. I was heart broken, They forced me to read other substitutes such as Anthony series and Hauu series and they just did not have the same feel, I felt as if I had lost something important! But What could I do? I have been looking for a answer to the question to why Raj comics stopped my dear THS series? I have never felt to hurt in my life. I never would have known, Until I read the green page in one of the new THS issues. This explained everything and I felt that Raj comics had taken the right step. I am also thankful to RC for reviving this series and bringing it back for the hardcore fans. By this, you can tell that Sanjay ji respects its fan base and they are willing to bring back their favorite series in all its glory. Now lets leave the past behind and move along to the present. In 2005, sitting in my house, reminisce on the past and the memories, I was wondering If I will ever see these old THS issues again, Because what I had left In India, My grandparents had given away to the poor kids. Sometimes I felt so emotional, that i wished I could go back in time and turn all my wrongs to right. I wish I never lost my THS issues, I wish I had preserved them properly. But it was all too late, there was no point in going back to the past. But as a human, you never let go of those dear memories, you still create alternate realities in your mind and wished they were true. In this respect, I was on the low, So I opened up the Raj comics website, I posted on the forums, sharing my experience with the other janooni friends, hoping to leave the painful past behind me. I was the one who created the thread called "What is your favorite Thrill horror comic?". Then one day I decided to open up Ebay India and search for Raj comics and to my surprise, Raj comics had set of 39 Thrill Horror comics up for sale. I danced in joy and It did not take long for me to hit the "Buy it now" Button. I cannot explain the wave of happiness which swept over me, It was as If, I had found my lost treasure. As Scientists are amazed by their big discoveries, This was my big discovery. I was very emotional at that time...reliving my days of innocence. Infact, The Thrill horror Suspense series is so damn amazing, that it inspired my brother to learn Hindi in order to read these comics. I would like to let you know, My young brother is a next

generation child and he is into Manga and other English comics, But when he saw the THS comics, He was very amused by it. So he went on the internet and began to study Hindi alphabet day by day. He began to read basic Hindi words within one week of practice. I could not believe it, It was truly a amazing experience as he read the Hindi text out loud to me. This proved that motivation and person's will can prove to do wonders! As the years went by, I made friends with Janooni fans like Parijat, Karan, Mady, Suraj, Bunty, Anu, Shasid, Arun ji and among others. In my struggle to complete my THS collection, Parijat gave me a huge helping hand by purchasing old THS comics from his local shop and sending them to me. I mean love him for that, Any said positive remarks or words cannot do justice to my feelings for Parijat. He was a god sent for a fan like me, and I respect him for all he did for me! I also cannot forget to thank Karan, Shasid, Anu, Bunty, Arun ji and Mady. They helped me collect many old Raj comics, They are all amazing people, Much respect to all of these gem of friends! I have many little memories to share, But If I did, I would end up writing a entire essay on it. But I let my heart bleed in the form of these words and presented youwith my most dear memories. I grew up with this series and it holds a special place in my heart, It's not the memories, But also the strong substance which Raj comics use to deliver in the past. It was not just the amazing stories and the artwork, It was Raj comics' Janoon, which made me a huge fan of this series. No matter what comics I purchased in Raj comics, It was worth everything to me. There are many few "Thrill Horror Suspense" fans out there and I am one of them. Many fans generalize on the quality of this series based on the sub-standard new issues, But I request that they go back and read all the old gems and understand what THS series truly was. Although Raj comics are working very hard to bring back that flavor, I feel that they will never succeed in fully getting this series on track. Because the beauty of this series lies in its simplicity! The artwork was simple, yet effective, and the stories were not long, But they were also quite deep. Nowadays, more emphasis is given to special effects and longer story plots, with moderate success . I hope to see a bright future for this series, Until then...good night my people. To all the Janooni fans, Heartfelt thanks for keeping Raj comics alive and well. And for the pirates, just remember, If Raj comics are not

there day after tomorrow, and you are wondering what happened, Look in the mirror, and you will find the answer to your question. God bless! PS-My Write up for the "worst series" is going to be a tough one, Because I don't have any hate in my heart for any Raj comics' series.

Buri Entry : Nagraj (Ajay Dhillon)

Raj comics...Raj comics...Raj comics.....Same damn name stuck in his head for the last several decades! Look at him, Eyes closed and babbling Raj comics' name in his dreams! I had it with him thinking about Raj comics all the time...even nearing the end....no stopping him! These Raj comics' memories have been circling his mind non-stop! I had it.... Hey Wake up! Wake up you fool.... *Who* *What* *Who are you?* "I am the spirit which lives within you....In your last moments, I have finally decided to show myself! Now...Na..Na...don't look at the ones who are looking back at you! Listen to me, because this is the only chance I might have to find the answer for the question "Why!." *Why...What?* "Why?? Well, WHY can't you bury Raj comics in the bottomless pits of your mind! You are stuck on your last breath and you still can't seem to give this up my friend....Damn It has been many years since they left....after the internet pirates cleared them out of buisness!" *It's a long story....Where Can I Start...It's in me man!* "Well....all your memories are about to be wiped out of your mind, as soon as

your power supply hits zero...You will lose everything you have, everything you lived for, everything you remember! So better start yapping now...Why do you embrace them!" "Well, let me start from the Top, I remember the first time when my Father bought me a comic called "Khoni Khoj" of my super hero Nagraj, It was my first comic, and I was maybe 5, embracing my innocent childhood, flipping the pages, adoring the artwork. I don't even remember how long ago that was, it has been ages.Well, I could not read at that point, It was my imagination which helped me visualize the story plot by looking at the pictures. Many years went by....Nagraj became a idol. I truly admired his courage, His mission to wipe out the terrorism from the face of earth. I loved everything about him, If there was a new issue on the market, I had to have it! Many kids tried to trade me diamond comics, toys for Nagraj comics, But they never got lucky with the trade! Well,You can say, That Nagraj was like a life supply for me, My Life seemed very empty without him." But There were so many other publications at that time, Why only Raj comics? "Well....look at it this way! When you find new friends, Do you forget your first best friend!? When you watch other sports, do you forget Cricket? When you see many different religions, do you forget your own? Raj comics were like a "best friend" and everything else for a innocent kid like me. They kept me motivated throughout my childhood years. They gave a kid the super heroes he will never forget...a unique life long experience. This helped me form a life time emotional connection with Raj comics...which will most likely....break in pieces today...." Well, I am hearing nothing but good things, But was there a time, When Raj comics let you down? Was there a time, When you felt some anger towards Raj comics? "Well, Raj comics publications is run by humans, and as humans, we all make mistakes. Some mistakes are forgiven, But some mistakes will haunt you for rest of your life. Some Mistakes are small, Some mistakes are big. In this respect, Raj comics had made some mistakes throughout their career, and I must admit,

They have made many mistakes with the dear Nagraj series. There were mistakes, which left me very upset! I will try to breakdown the cons and negative aspects. This is going to hurt my heart, But I will speak my mind for the truth's sake! As I already pointed out, I left reading Nagraj in 1995 and returned to Raj comics in 2004. I did not get to experience the whole "Mahanagar" plot change in Nagraj series. I had the mentality that Nagraj was still going against the evil terrorists of the world. I came across a online Nagraj comics called "Nahi Bachaga Nagraj" on the old Raj comics site and It left me in a shock! The first thing that hit me was the artwork, To tell you the truth, I thought the Artwork was very degrading, with bright childish look, cute bubbly looking characters. I was not aware that the artwork was done by Mr Anupam Sinha. I read the story and I could not believe what I just read. It was completely opposite from what I was expecting. I was expecting my heroic Warrior, going against some powerful foe, like the earlier issues. But here, I was seeing Nagraj fighting a dum looking nameless Robot, trying to Save some fat kid's life (He was Sulu BTW!). This was pathetic, It turned me off, I became very upset over what this series had become. I was so out of my mind, that I even tried to take this comics as a joke. But I quickly learned that this is what Nagraj series had become. I mean, Nagraj forgetting his mission of clearing the world from terrorism and choosing life of a reporter, Does this sound like Nagraj to you? In his first comics, Nagraj took the word that he will fight terrorism and until then, He will not rest! By converting Nagraj in a haste, not only Raj comics have created a huge loophole, But it also brings down the respect and credibility of Nagraj in general. I could have perfectly understood, If Raj comics had made this change in slow process, including events, which would eventually change the way Nagraj would think. But this change was made just after "Khajana" series and It seemed too sudden, too unexceptionable for Nagraj to turn away from his mission due to some small cause. I was not satisfied! This was the major change which hurt my heart, But there were many mistakes which I did not like.

I ordered the complete Nagraj set from Ebay India in 2006 and I Started reading this series from scratch. When I started reading the "Post Khajana" Nagraj issues, something Hit me hard. Let me put it in perspective-Nagraj living in a city, Alter ego as a naive TV reporter, wearing thick glasses. A alter ego of a hero with no face mask. It makes me say, "hello Clark Kent, I mean...Raj!". But seriously, Out of all major RC super heroes, Nagraj was given the weakest and most predictable alter ego. Does this make sense to you? If Parmanu can be a loyal police officer, Shakti a hospital nurse, Doga a body builder, Why couldn't Raj comics think of a better and yer original alter ego for our hero Nagraj. This was result of poor planing as I see it! Well, Speaking of poor planing, The writer created many unexpected changes in Nagraj's mentality after the Khajana series ended. Nagraj's loyalty changed for no apparent reason. For example, Nagraj use to praise "Baba Gorknath" for his guidance, Then he started to praise "Dev Kaaljayai" out of the blues. It was as If, all the sudden, Nagraj realized that "Dev Kaljayai" is much more relevant then his long time mentor "Baba Gorknath". Does this makes sense to you? Nagraj dumping his old "guru" In favor of a new guru, who has a strong connection to the "Nag jati". I would call this "Discrimination" on Nagraj's part, But I say it's Ignorance on the writer's part. And then there was the supposed swearing by Nagraj for not killing any living being. This would have been relevant, But the problem is that the writer never showed Nagraj taking such vows in any issue up to date. It would have been nice, If the writer actually made a milestone issue in the series, Where some major event Occurs In Nagraj's life and he decides not to kill anyone ever again, But it was not so. All this seemed like a poor attempt at placing Nagraj above all heroes, In terms of his moral values. In realizing these flaws, the reader can safely generalize that Mr. Anupam Sinha read very little knowledge about Nagraj's past. Because in my perspective, If he read the Nagraj Saga, These mistakes would have never occurred. Also, It makes some sense that Nagraj decides to spare humans, But why did he chose to spare monsters/creatures who try to end his life. In many countless issues, Nagraj would rather face life threatening situations, then put that evil foe to the ground. Ahem, I think the writer went to over the top with this thing.

Other major weakness is the intimate relationship of Nagraj. If you thought Vinay (Parmanu) and Bhokal had the most complicated intimate relationship, then you better think again my friend. The biggest player in Raj comics circle is without a doubt Nagraj. First he falls in love with vispari, and he was unable to merry her. After, Nagraj leaves vispari to live with a stranger woman called "Bharti" and he marries her in nagayan. Then some "Nagrani" comes from the another demansion and becomes Nagraj's baby's mother. If this did not complicate things, Raj comic's tried to show Nagraj in a affair with saudhagi on "I Love you" trading cards in late 1990s. Now if you think about it, that's 4 ladies Nagraj had some type of affair with. No, we are not done here, ahem...remember the random ladies in Nagraj's world tour series (new and old). It's good to see Nagraj getting lucky, But the question is of credibility and respect, and this fact hurts Nagraj in both terms. Speaking of this, The relationship between Nagraj and Bharti never grew or advanced further. I mean, come on, They both live together, work together, and they still act like they did in earlier issues. The theory of "two beings staying close and falling in love" does not seem relevant here, another major loophole in the series. Yes, Nagraj's first love was vispari, But times have changed my friend, You are living a single life with a woman who loves you to death! Now going back to the Alter ego arguement I made earlier, Have you ever considered that Nagraj is to Raj comics, what Superman is to "DC comics"? No, I am not talking about his status, What I am taking about is Nagraj's super powers. This is another one of his major weaknesses. Raj comics have granted so many super powers to Nagraj, That there seems to be no real challenge left for him to concer. If you think about it, He is the character with most super powers in the Raj comics universe. The writer had considered no balance, when introducing these new powers to us and it shows in later issues. Its apparent when Nagraj clears his foes without breaking a sweat! A very lucky fellow, considering Doga and Dhruva have 1/20 of what he has! The craze of showing Nagraj in superior status is not a new one. Actually, Raj comics attempted to prove this fact in the earlier stages of Nagraj series, with the release of "Nagraj

aur Jadugaar Shakura". In the comics, Mr. Sanjay Gupta (at that time "Raja") showed Nagraj saving three major super heros named Superman, Spiderman and Batman from some alien being called "Jadugar Shakura". Nagraj managed to defeat Jadugar Shakura with flying colors, The foe who brought a super power like "Superman" to his knees. Superman is nearly immortal, He is far more powerful then Nagraj in actual fact, and yet Nagraj was shown as a far superior being....having no equals! This is what I call "Glamorization" of Nagraj, and It worked like a charm back in the days. Another heart breaking aspect of post 1995 Nagraj series is the lack of original villains. In countless issues, Nagraj has been facing his uncle "NagPhasha", who apparently acquired "Immortality", So he cannot be killed. In spite of keeping the series fresh and interesting, The writer must create new and interesting villains, But this is not the case with Nagraj. In fact, Raj comics have dragged this foe in so many series, that Fans are starting to complain about it. If this was not enough, Raj comics also managed to drag "Guru Dev" and the infamous "Nagina" in countless issues over the years. It would make sense If the writer lacked imagination, But we are talking about Mr.Anupam Sinha here, the imagination power house. He gave us such amazing plots, Why couldn't he give us some unforgettable baddies. Personally, I can't stand "Nagina", I am very glad that shes dead in Nagayan! I know she will be back...But at least we are safe to know that she gets what she deserves in the not so distinct future. Speaking of "Characters", Anyone noticed another downgrade in the recent Nagraj issues. Yes, I am talking about the so called "Chota Nagraj", He has been stealing the spotlight from Nagraj lately. What is this all about? Raj comic's over looking It's main icon, and giving more priority to the newly introduced characters in the series. I first met this character in "Chota Nagraj", which, quite honestly, was a great comics at the time. But then the success of this comics pushed Chota Nagraj to his popularity among readers and Raj comics decided to work this same formula for the next several issues. There was not balance in these comics at all. The writer portrayed "Chota Nagraj" as a superior character, The proof can be found in "Bhanumati ka Pitara", were our kiddo Nagraj

supposdly saves Nagraj from the dark powers! This type of plot treatment works for new readers, But for long term fans like me, I cannot swallow the fact that a mini Nagraj is here to steal the Number one spot from my Nagraj. Thankfully, This is hardly the case in the new Nagraj stories, I am glad Raj comics saw it my way. Other aspect of post Khajana comics that bothered me was the artwork. Don't get me wrong, Mr. Anupam Sinha is a great artist, But he does not do justice to Nagraj like Pratap Mullik ji did. Nagraj looks like he has been taking "Steroids" and hitting the gym for 3 hours a day. His figure is too bulk for my liking, He did not look like the Nagraj I remember. I know that many fans have no problem with this, But I much prefer the old style Nagraj-less bulky in physical appearance, But still a unstoppable power house. Mr. Anupam Sinha's artwork did not advance with time, So we have been seeing same type of artwork for the last decade in the modern Nagraj series. Now in conclusion, don't get me wrong, Mr. Anupam Sinha's have delivered us with some unforgettable Nagraj classics, such as the Khajana series, Mahayudh series, and Agraj series. But at the same time, he gave us many fillers. It always seemed that he was more committed to Super Commondo Dhruva and the combo/ multistar comics. I am sure he did not do this on purpose, as he was handling many series at one time. The fact is that many fans felt that it was a superior step to pass Nagraj to Anupam sir, But This change did not satisfy a hardcore fan like me. That is why I am so glad that Raj comics have created a separate "World tour series" for its senior fan base. All in all, did not mean to sound overly negative, I am glad Raj comic's had the ability to satisfy the masses with the right decisions, and I am sure they will continue to do so. Now I am done criticizing the modern Nagraj series, It's time to move on to my emotions...now I will tell you what I love about it! Let me start off back in 1989..... Wake up! Wake up! Ajay....Wake up! Look at him, laying on the floor...uttering nonsense! Must have hurt himself

pretty bad! What...happened? I thought I am about to die, I was talking to my inner spirit about Raj comics! Where is my inner spirit!? These comics have really gotten to your head son, You were rushing to the door to receive your prize comics from your friend mohit and the next thing I know, you tripped and hit you head on the wall! I heard a big thud...I came rushing! you were unconscious for little while, babbling stuff about Nagraj. What was that about??? Nothing Mom, I was just taking a trip down the memory lane, I am glad to be back! Now next time, you are not going to rush to the door, let me handle it! Foolish boy!

Parivartan (Nagraj)
(Priyashrav Bharadwaj Supi)
Nagraj has always been a confident symbol of righteousness and truth,but sometimes the strongest walls of confidence crumble beneath the situations life presents in front of us.Nagraj has undergone several changes in the last few months,and these changes are not for the better..................... Nagraj ka bartaav kuch dino se badla hua sa lagne laga hai,aur poora Mahanagar ye badlaav dekh raha hai.Ab wo pahle ki tarah muskarata nahi.Bacche ko paas jaane se bhi wo katrane laga hai.Kai baar apradh ke samay wo pahuch nahi pa raha,aur khoya-khoya rahne laga hai,aur har samy uska dhyan kahi aur laga rahta hai.Bharti aur Vedacharya bhi pareshan hain,kyonki wo ab hamesha ki tarah crimefighting ke beech mein ghar nahi aata,balki idhar udhar bhatakta rahta hai,maano kuch khoj raha ho. Bharti usse baat karne ka prayatana karti hai,par wo bina kuch jawab diye nikal jaata hai.Udhar Nagraj ko sapno mein dikhti hai ek chhote bacche ki parchayi,jo use thoda aur intjaar karne ko kah rahi hai.Nagraj usse koi kagaj mangta hai,par wo dene se inkar kar deti hai,aur isi mod pe sapna baar baar toot jata hai.In sab ke beech Nagraj ki anjaan talash lagatar jari hai,aur wo baar-baar Truck Agencies mein ja kar Truck drivers se pooch-taach karta rahta hai.Use shayad kisi Truck driver ki talash hai! Nagraj ka vyavhar din-par-din kathor hota ja raha hai,ab wo kam bolta hai,aur suni aankho se shunya ko niharta rahta hai.Din-din bhar Truck Drivers ko khojta rahta

hai,parantu Nagraj ko use parchayi aur kagaj ke sapne lagatar aate rahte hain.Aakhirkaar bahut koshisho ke baad Bharti Nagraj ko batane par majbur kar deti hai wo ghatna jiske karan Nagraj ka ye haal hua hai................... Kuch hafto pahle Mahanagar mein raat ke 9 baje ek 7-saal ke bacche ki kidnaapping ka prayas hua tha jisne Nagraj ne aakar asafal kiya tha.Nagraj us bacche ko ghar pahunchane uske ghar ki taraf chalta hai.Wo baccha Nagraj ka bahut bada fan rahta hai aur raaste bhar Nagraj se baate karta rahta hai.Nagraj uske ghar se jara si dur aakar ruk jata hai aur bacche ko kahta hai wo yahan se ghar chala jaaye kyonki use kahin se jasoos sarpo ke sanket mil rahe the.Baccha jid karta hai ki Nagraj use ghar ja kar uske Mommy-Papa se mile par Nagraj use samjhata hai ki uska jaana jaruri hai.Tab baccha ek pen aur kagaj nikalkar Nagraj se autograph maangta hai.Nagraj jaldi-jaldi mein use autograph deta hai aur jaane ko mud jata hai.Udhar baccha bhi daudte hue apne ghar ki or jaane lagta hai.Tabhi ek cheekh Nagraj ke kaano tak pahunchati hai aur wo dekhta hai ki wo baccha sadak par khoon se lathpath pada hai aur ek truck teji se wahan se ja raha hai.Truck ne bacche ko takkar maar di thi.Us bacche ke mata-pita aawaj sun kar bahar aate hain aur apne chote se bacche ki laash dekhkar hatprabh rah jate hain.Nagraj wahi thaga se khada rah jata hai,na us truck ka peecha karta hai aur na hi un badkismat mata pita ko santwana deta hai!Shayad Nagraj apne aap ko bhi us ghatna ke liye jimmedar maanta hai,aakhir wo us bacche ko ghar tak bhi chhor sakta tha. Bharti ki ankho mein yeh sab sunkar aansu aa jate hai.Nagraj use apne sapno ke baare mein bhi batata hai.To Bharti kahti hai ki usse acchi tarah ye baat wo baccha hi samajh sakta hai.Wo kahti hai ki Nagraj baar-baar apne aap ko us ghatna ke liye jimmedar maanta hai.Shayad apne sapne ke dwara wo apni galti ka prayshchitt kar le.Nagraj Bharti ke kahne par neend lene lagta hai.Sapne mein phir se use wo choti parchayi dikhai deti hai.Nagraj uske paas jaata hai aur usse kahta hai ki ye Nagraj ki galti hai ki us bacche ki maut hui.Parchayi kuch nahi bolti hai,bas Nagraj ko ek kagaj deti hai aur gayab ho jati hai.Nagraj kagaj kholta hai aur dekhta hai ki usmein sirf ek shabd likha hua hai,'MAAFI'.Nagrak ki neend khulti hai,saamne Bharti khadi rahti hai.Wo pucchati hai ki ab wo kaisa hai!Nagraj koi jawab nahi deta hai balki bahar ki taraf nikal jata hai.Bharti sochti hai ki uski baato ka Nagraj par koi asar nahi hua. Nagraj ek baar phir Truck Agencies ki talash mein nikal padta hai.Bahut khojbben ke baad use us Driver ka naam pata malum chalta hai.Nagraj uske ghar pahunchata hai.Wo driver use dekhte hi ghabra jata hai aur paanv pakad kar usse maafi mangne lagta hai.Wo batata hai ki us samay wo apni agency ke truck mein apni garbhvati patni ko le ja raha tha,jise turant aspatal pahunchana jaruri tha.Ye kahkar

wo phhot-phoot kar rone lagta hai.Nagraj ko us kagaj par likhe shabd yaad aa jate hai aur wo uski peeth par haath rakhta hai aur kahta hai ki,"Maine tumhe maaf kiya!" Is ghatna ke kuch ghante baad ek najdiki Police Station mein ek aadmi "Hit & Run" ka apna gunah kabul raha tha.Use saja hui,parantu wo jara bhi vichalit nahi tha.Shayad isliye ki wo andar hi andar jaanta tha ki wo ek paap ka prayschit kar raha hai,shayad isliye ki Nagraj ne usw maaf kar diya ta,ya phir isliye ki uski patni ne ek swasth shishu ko janm diya tha aur is poori ghatna ki coverage karne wale ek ashcharyajanak roop se dayalu channel,Bharti Communications ne uske biwibacche ki jimmedari li thi. 1 hafte baad,ab purana Nagraj wapas aa chuka hai.Ab wo pahle ki tarah hi bartav kar raha hai.Poora Mahanagar apne Hero ko phir se pakar khush hai. Udhar Bharti Vedacharya ko ye poori ghatna batati hai.Vedacharya kahte hai ki,"To aakhirkar Nagraj ne us Truck driver ko maaf kar diya."Jawab mein Bharti kahti hai ki,"Use to Nagraj ne bahut pahle maaf kar diya hoga,asaliyat mein usse pahle to Nagraj ko apne aap ko maaf karna tha..................................."

Dhruv Nakshatra (Super Commando Dhruv)

(Saurabh Agrawal skagrawal4k)
Nakshatra ki Dhruv ki zindagi me wapasi aur sath me Dhruv ka ek naye khatre se saamna aur ek nayi ladai ka aagaaz apni hi kismat k sath.... Dhruv: insaaf ki duniya me tumhara swaagat hai Nakshatra. Nakshatra: kaisa insaaf Dhruv? jab tum apne maa-baap ki maut ka badla lene nikle to tumhe mila ek naye ma-baap aur ek behan ka pyar aur bahut saari izzat. aur jab main apne baap ki maut ka badla lene nikla to mujhe mili jail??? mujhe behkaya gaya, ye kya meri galti thi? ye duniya sabko izzat nahi deti. tumhari kismat achchi thi. meri kharab. ye samaaj mujhe kabhi nahi apnaayega. mujhe akela chod do. Dhruv: tum kya sochte ho ki hamare sath jo hota hai wo grah-nakshatron ka khel hai? hum chahe to khud apni kismat badal sakte hain. par Nakshatra nahi sunta aur chale jaata hai aur Dhruv dekhta reh jaata hai. Idhar ek naye villian ne rajnagar me apna pair jamaya hai...naam hai Kaal Gyaata. ek aisa maha gyaani aur jyotish shastra ka gyaata jo kisi ki bhi kundali bana sakta hai...ghrahon ki sthitiyan jaanana uske baaye hath ka khel hai. aur sath me usne apni siddhiyon aur yagya se kuch aur shaktiyan bhi haasil ki hain. wo rajnagar k sabhi maafiya bosses ko ek bar me ikattha karta hai aur unhe kehta hai ki wo Dhruv ko khatm kar dega, badle me use chahiye 100 crore rs. aur sath me sabhi mafiya bosses ke dhandhe me partnership. mafiya bosses kehte hain ki isse pehle bhi kai log ye sapne hame dikha chuke hain par abhi tak koi Dhruv ko nahi maar paaya. sab yehi kehte hain ki dhruv k paas koi super power nahi hai aur sab muh ki khaate hain. Kaal Gyaata: main dhruv ko nahi maarunga. maroge tum log hi. main sirf aisi situation paida kar dunga ki dhruv ko marna hi padega, kyunki main kisi ki bhi kismat badal sakta hun aur kismat se to khud dhruv bhi nahi lad sakta. mujhe dhruv ko khatm karne k liye chahiye sirf ek khatarnak hatyara jo tum mujhe doge aur tumhare hatyare ko Dhruv ko maarne k liye chahiye ek sahi waqt...yane ki Dhruv ka bura waqt, jo main tumhe dunga. aur phir wo un sab ko apna plan batata hai, par unka ye plan nakshatra ko pata chal jata hai jo usi bar me beer pi kar apne gam bhula raha tha. wo sochta hai ki

dhruv marta hai to mare, mujhe kya? mujhe dhruv se kya mila jo main uske liye apni jaan musibat me dalun? aur wo chale jata hai. idhar dhruv as usual apni raat ki gasht par nikla hai aur dekhta hai ki ek akeli ladki ko kuch gunde ched rahe hain...wo as usual unki pitayi karta hai aur ladki ko bacha leta hai... agle din jab nakshatra so kar uthta hai to dekhta hai ki roz ki tarah aj bhi paper me dhruv ke kaarnamon ki khabar hai aur us ladki ka interview jo kehti hai ki dhruv hum rajnagar wasiyon k liye bhagwan se bhi badhkar hai...agar wo nahi hota to pata nahi insaaniyat ka kya hota...ye padhkar nakshatra ka zameer hil jata hai...wo sochta hai ki dhruv anjaan logon k liye hazaron baar apni jaan khatre me dal chuka hai...mujhe kam se kam use aane wale khatre se savdhan to kar hi dena chahiye, fir wo apne raste aur main apne raste. aur wo dhruv se milne nikal padta hai... idhar dhruv apni rat ki gasht khatam kar k commando HQ ja raha hai ki use khabar milti hai ki 1 gunda main market me bahut tod-fod kar raha hai. dhruv wahan pahuchta hai. dhruv ko dekh wo bhagne lagta hai. aur achanak ek aayam dwar apne aap khulta hai jahan wo ghus kar gaayab ho jata hai. dhruv sochta hai ki ye aayam dwar to dhananjay ka lag raha hai, iske par kya ho sakta hai, swarn nagri ya koi jaal? ye sochte hue dhruv bhi usme ghus jata hai. itne me dhruv k usi market me hone ki khabar sun nakshatra bhi wahan pahuchta hai aur dhruv ko us dwar me ghuste hue dekh leta hai aur use khatre ka aabhaas ho jata hai. is se pehle ki wo kuch kar pata, dwar chota hone lagta hai. bina soche samjhe wo bhi us dwar me ghus jata hai. udhar dhruv jab us dwar k par pahuchta hai to dekhta hai ki ye koi nayi jagah nahi hai, jagah to wahi hai. isse pehle ki wo kuch samajh paata wo ek saadhaaran sa dikhne wala gunda ek bahut khatarnak hatyare ka rup le leta hai aur phir shuru hoti hai ek ladayi. dhruv hamesha ki tarah apne dimag k sahare ladta hai, uski kamzori ko dhundhne ki koshish karta hai aur aas-paas ki cheezon ka sahara leta hai par pata nahi kyun aaj uska koi bhi daanv kaam nahi aa raha. aur wo zakhmi ho jata hai. lekin isse pehle ki wo hatyara Dhruv ko koi aur nuksan pahucha paata, achanak ek unexpected madad aa jati hai nakshatra k rup me. wo hatyare se ladta hai aur dhruv use harane ka tarika batata hai jisse nakshatra use hara deta hai. Dhruv: kamaal hai, itni der se jo karne ki koshish main kar raha tha wo main nahi kar paya par maine tumhe bataya to tumne kar liya. Nakshatra: aisa isliye kyunki tumhara time kharab chal raha hai. shehar me tumhara ek naya dushman aya hai kaal gyaata jo bhawishya jaan kar pata kar sakta hai ki kaun se kaal me grahon-nakshatron ki sthiti aisi banti hai ki tumhari maut

nishchit ho, aur phir usne kisi shakti k dwara tumhe us kaal me bhej diya. ab batao ki is kaal se wapas apne samay me kaise jayen? Kaal Gyata jo ye sab dur se chup kar dekh raha tha, apni chaal vifal hote dekh hawa me ek aayam dwar bana kar uski taraf bhaagne lagta hai. itne me dhruv ki nazar uss aayam dwar par padti hai jiski taraf bhag raha hota hai kaal gyaata. wo use star line me lapet leta hai par wo dwar k par chala jata hai aur sath me dhruv-nakshtara bhi khicha jate hain. sab apne kaal me wapas aa jate hain aur Kaal gyaata abhi bhi dhruv ki star line me fasa hua hai. Kaal gyaata: ek bar bach gaye to ye mat socho dhruv ki har baar bach jaoge. insaan ki kundali me grah-nakhshatra kai baar aisa combination banate hain jisme us insaan ki maut nishchit hoti hai. ye aur baat hai ki maut aati nahi hai. par main ek bar phir tumhari kundali padhunga aur is baar tumhe bachane k liye ye ladka nahi rahega. Dhruv: tum mere kabje me ho aur phir bhi badi badi haank rahe ho? Kaal gyaata: dhruv, maana ki ye samay tumhare liye bura nahi hai, par ye samay mere liye bahut achcha hai. tum mujhe pakad hi nai sakte. itne me mafiya bosses k gunde goliyon ki bauchar karte hain aur Kaal gyaata Dhruv k shikanje se chut kar bhagne lagta hai. dhruv uska picha karta hai par isse pehle ki wo use pakad pata wo dekhta hai ki ek chota bachcha apni ma ka hath chuda kar beech sadak par aa gaya hai. dhruv ko use bachane k liye rukna padta hai aur itni der me Kaal gyata gayab ho jata hai. dhruv wapas aata hai aur nakshatra ka shukriya ada karta hai. Nakshatra: shukriya ki jarurat nai hai. maine tumhe bina wajah maarne ki kai baar koshish ki thi. tumhari jaan ek baar bacha kar maine apne dil se wo bojh hata liya. ab tumhara rasta alag, mera alag. Dhruv: hamare raste takra chuke hain. wo tum par hamla kar sakta hai. behtar hoga tum mere sath chal kar raho. Nakshatra: ye tumhari ladai hai dhruv, meri nahi. aur phir wo chala jata hai. idhar dhruv bhag kar samudra ki taraf jata hai, aur ek dolphin se sitiyon ki bhaasha

me baat karne lagta hai. udhar mafiya bosses Kaal gyata ko keh rahe hain ki dekha tum dhruv ka time kharab karne chale the, par dhruv ne tumhara hi time kharab kar diya. Kaal gyata: mujhe ummeed nahi thi ki koi uski madad ko aa jayega. sabse pehle uske madadgaar ko hi khatm karunga. use maarne k liye to main hi kaafi hun. main khud usse badla lunga. udhar Nakshatra apne ghar me baitha TV dekh raha hai ki achanak ek aayam dwar uske kamre me khulta hai aur isse pehle ki wo kuch samajh pata kuch gunde jabardasti pakad kar use aayam dwar me dhakka de dete hain aur fir dwar band ho jata hai. wo dekhta hai ki hai to wo abhi bhi apne ghar me par Kaal gyata pehle se hi ek machine gun lekar uske samne khada hai par wo kuch kar nahi pata kyunki chaaron gundon ne pehle hi use pakad kar rakha hai. Kaal gyata goliyan chalata hai par achanak ek naya aayam dwar khulta hai aur saari goliyan space me chale jati hai. wo dekhta hai ki uske piche khade hain dhruv aur Dhananjay. Dhananjay: ye wo aayam dwar tha jo ek sthaan se dusre sthaan par le jata hai, kuch us yantra ki tarah jo tumhare paas hai, bas fark itna hai ki jo tumhare paas hai wo ek kaal se dusre kaal me lekar jata hai. Kaal gyata: par tum is kaal me kaise aye? wo yantra to mere paas hai. Dhananjay: tumne kya socha tum hamse hamara yantra chura loge to hum waisa hi dusra yantra nahi bana sakte? tum hame zakhmi haalat me mile, hum tumhe swarna nagri lekar gaye aur tumhara ilaaj kiya aur badle me tum hamara ek keemti yantra lekar bhag gaye. wo to achcha hua ki tum takraye to dhruv se, aur dhruv ne jaise hi mujhe sari ghatnaon k bare me bataya to main samajh gaya ki ye tumhara hi kaam hai, warna hum to tumhe dhundhte hi reh jate. Kaal Gyata: lekin tumhe pata kaise chala ki main Nakshatra ko kaun se kaal me lekar gaya hun? Dhananjay: ek aur bewkufi bhara sawaal....are ye yantra humne banaya hai, hum ise trace bhi kar sakte hain aur pata kar sakte hain ki is yantra ka prayog kar k tum kaun se kaal me gaye ho..aur fir aise hi dusre yantra se hum bhi is kaal me aa gaye..bas iski ek kamzori hai...jis jagah par is yantra ka prayog kiya gaya hai, usi jagah se hum trace kar sakte hain ki is yantra ki shakti se tum kaun se kaal me gaye ho.

Dhruv: mujhe pata tha ki tum nakshatra par hamla kar sakte ho isliye hum dono nakshatra k ghar par najar rakhe hue the. aur kyunki tumne is yantra ka prayog Nakshatra k ghar me kiya to hum bhi ghar k andar aa gaye aur Dhananjay ne tumhe trace kar liya. Kaal gyata phir se andha dhundh goliyan chalata hai par dhruv furti se uski bandook ki naal ko upar ki taraf kar deta hai jisse goliyan chath par lag jati hain, aur wo usse se gun cheen leta hai. phir dhruv-nakshatra ek ek punch me charon gundo ko behosh kar dete hain. Dhruv: ab tum bach k kahan jaoge? Kaal gyata: tum bhul rahe ho dhruv ki ye kaal mere liye nahi balki nakshatra k liye bura hai. tum mujhe pakad hi nahi sakte. itne me goliyon se kamzor ho chuki chath nakshatra k upar girne lagti hai, dhruv use bachane k liye dive marta hai aur isse pehle ki ghar ka malba dhruv-nakshatra ko daba deta, dhananjay dono k upar ek suraksha kawach bana deta hai. is afra tafri ka fayda utha k Kaal gyata bhag jata hai. phir dhuv, nakshatra aur dhananjay bhi wapas apne kaal me aa jate hain. Dhruv: ab to tum samajh gaye nakshatra, tum bhi is ladai ka hissa ban chuke ho aur bach kar bhag nai sakte. tumhe meri madad karni hi hogi. Nakshatra: thik hai Dhruv, main tumhara sath dunga. Dhananjay: lekin ise haraoge kaise? iske hisab se to iska achcha waqt chal raha hai...har baar kuch na kuch aisa ho jata hai ki ise bhaagne ka mauka mil jata hai. Dhruv: iska time kharab karne k liye mujhe bhi iski kundali banwani padegi. aur iske liye mujhe kisi ki madad chahiye. aur dhruv sabhi kutton aur chidiyon ko kaam par laga deta hai. idhar rajnagar k dusre chor par kahin Nostredamas apni lab me baitha kuch prayog kar raha hai aur koi kitab likh raha hai ki use piche se awaz ati hai. "kaise ho nostredamas? aakhir maine tumhe dhundh hi liya." Nostredamas palat kar dekhta hai aur aashcharya se kehta hai, "dhruv tum?"

Dhruv: haan, Dr. Saha ka Shadayantra vifal karne me meri madad karne k bad tum to gayab hi ho gaye. Nostredamas: lekin tum mujhe kyun dhundh rahe the? maine to pichle kaafi samay se koi galat ya gair-kaanooni kaam nahi kiya hai. Dhruv: nahi, aisi koi baat nahi hai, bas tumhari yad aa gayi. kya kar rahe ho aajkal? kya taaron aur nakshatron se dharti k anth ki taarikh puch rahe ho, taaki duniya me fir koi sansani faila sako? Nostredamas: nahi dhruv, filhaal to main ek granth likh raha hun. isme duniya k har insan ka bhavishya hai aur ye ekdum easy to use hogi. koi bhi khud apna bhavishya padh sakta hai. isse main chahun to logo ko unka bhavishya bata k karodon kama lun ya fir kisi badi publishing company ko apni kitab k rights karodon me bech dun. Dhruv: kyu logo ko unka bhavishya bata kar unki zindagi ka maza kharab karna chahte ho? agar sabko apna bhavishya pata chal gaya to koi use badalne k liye mehnat hi nahi karega aur life ka suspense khatm ho jayega. agar baat paison ki hai to wo main tumhe dila dunga, bas mera ek kaam kar do. Nostredamas: kaisa kaam? dhruv: kisi ki.....kundali banwani thi. udhar Kaal Gyata apne saathiyon k sath baitha gusse se laal-peela ho raha tha. Kaal gyata: ye dusri baar mera waar vifal ho gaya. ab main aisa waar karunga ki na dhruv nakshatra ko bachane aa payega aur na hi nakshatra dhruv ko. iske baad rajnagar me agle 2 din bahut shanti se gujre. nakshatra ka ghar tut jane ki wajah se dhruv ne use apne ghar me kuch dino k liye rehne ko keh diya. udhar dhruv k ishare par saare pashu-pakshi din bhar Kaal gyata ko dhundhte rahe, par usse hona kya tha. Kaal gyata ka kaal achcha chal raha tha. agar dhruv use dhundh bhi leta to bhi shayad use pakad nahi pata. lekin uski jarurat hi nai padi. raat me dhruv hamesha ki tarah apni gasht par nikla ki achanak usne apne samne Kaal gyata ko khada paaya. kaal gyaata ne dhruv k samne ek aayam dwar khola aur dhruv se kaha, "le dhruv, is dwar k paar ja aur apni mrityu se mil."

Dhruv: main bhala is dwar me kyun jaunga? main baar baar tumhare jaal me fasne wala nahi. Kaal Gyata: agar tu nahi gaya to tera mrityu kaal tere ma-baap ka mrityu kaal ban jayega, vishwas na ho to khud us dwar k paar ja k dekh le. ye sun kar dhruv darr jata hai aur turant dwar k paar chala jata hai. par dwar k paar sirf ek khatarnak aur khooni hatyara khada dikhta hai. Kaal Gyata: ha ha ha, tu bada emotional hai dhruv. tere maa baap to aaram se apne ghar me so rahe hain aur tu yehan soyega hamesha k liye kyunki ye hai tera mrityu kaal aur ye hai tera mrityu doot. Dhruv: maine aaj tak isse bhi bade bade surmaon ko dhul chatayi hai, ye mujhe kya maarega? Kaal Gyaata: nahi dhruv, aaj tak jab bhi koi tujhse lada wo tera achcha samay tha aur tere bure samay me kisi ne tujh par waar nahi kiya, aur kiya bhi to koi na koi tujhe bachane aa gaya par aaj aisa nahi hoga kyunki kisi ko yehan tak ki dhananjay ko bhi nahi pata ki maine tujhe kaun se kaal me bheja hai. ye tera mrityu kaal hai aur vidhaata k likhe hue ko to tu bhi nahi badal sakta. main chala nakshatra ko uski mrityu se milane. itna keh Kaal gyata us dwar se nikal kar dwar band kar k gaayab ho gaya. udhar nakshatra dhruv k ghar me so raha tha ki kaal gyata wahan pahuchta hai kuch gundon k sath aur kehta hai, "nakshatra agar dhruv k maa baap ki salamati chahta hai to is dwar k paar ja aur apni mrityu ka samna kar warna mere ek ishare par ye dhruv ke maa baap ko hamesha ki neend sula denge." Nakshatra chup chap usme ghus jata hai aur uske samne khadi hoti hai uski maut. fir chalu hoti hai ek khooni ladayi jo do alag alag kaal me dhruv aur nakshatra lad rahe the. idhar kaal gyata apne saathi mafiya bosses k sath party kar raha tha. Kaal Gyata: ha ha, ab Dhruv aur Nakshatra, dono hi apne apne mrityu kaal me apni maut se joojh rahe hain aur dono ek dusre ko bachane k liye kabhi pahuch hi nahi payenge...aur na hi Dhananjay unki koi madad kar payega kyunki bina ye jane ki

maine kis jagah par Kaal Yantra ka prayog kiya hai, wo ye trace hi nahi kar sakta ki is waqt dono kaun se kaal me hain. ek bar k liye wo shayad Dhruv k ghar me pahuch kar Nakshatra ko trace kar bhi le, lekin jab Dhruv ko maine uske mrityu kaal me bheja tha tab Dhananjay door door tak kahin nahi tha. wo kabhi Dhruv ko trace nahi kar payega..bechare Dhruv ki laash tak apne kaal me wapas nahi aa payegi..ha ha.. Itne me achanak unke samne prakat hota hai nostredamas. Nostredamas: kyun bhaktganon, aap logo ne is kaal gyata se dhruv ki kundali to banwa li lekin apni nahi banwayi? Kaal gyata: tum kaun ho? Nostredamas: is sansar ka sabse bada aur sab se gyaani bhawishya gyaata. chalo tum sab ki kundali main padhta hun. are ye kya? tum sab ki kundali me ek bahut bada sanyog hai. wo ye ki tum sab ka kharab samay ek sath abhi aur isi waqt hai. tum sab ek sath jail jane wale ho. Kaal gyata: ye kya bak raha hai? ise abhi turant khatm kar do. 30 se jyada bandooken ek sath nostredamas par tan jati hain, par itne me swarna paash chakra ki tarah lehrata hai aur saari bandooken gir jati hain. samne khada hota hai dhananjay. Nostredamas: meri shukra grah ki shit kirnen tum sab k dimag ko thanda kar dengi. aur sabhi mafiya bosses barf ki thandi silliyon me jam jate hain. Kaal gyaata: tum log yehan kaise pahuche? Dhananjay: jiske sath dhruv ki hazaron aankhen hon, wo kahin bhi pahuch sakta hai. Kaal gyata: ha ha ha, lekin ab tum kuch nahi kar sakte, dhruv nakshatra to waise bhi ab tak mar chuke honge aur in logo ka time bhale hi bura chal raha ho par mera time bura nahi chal raha, tum mujhe nahi pakad paoge. Nostredamas: isliye maine teri bhi kundali banayi hai, aur main bataunga ki tera bura samay kab aayega.

Dhananjay: aur tujhe us kaal me main bhejunga, ja tera vinashdoot tera intezar kar raha hai. itna keh k dhananjay ek dwar banata hai aur swarna paash se kaal gyaata ko phek deta hai uske bure kaal me jahan uska intezar kar rahe hote hain DHRUV aur NAKSHATRA. Kaal gyaata: ye nahi ho sakta, tum log jinda nahi ho sakte. Dhruv: tere dono pyadon ko humne hara diya. ye to dhruv k dimag ka kamal hai jo hum dono yehan zinda khade hain. Nakshatra: haan lekin is plan k safal hone me nakshatra ka bhi bada hath tha. Kaal gyaata: ye tum dono kya bak rahe ho? kahin paagal to nahi ho gaye? Khud ka hi naam liye ja rahe ho. Nakshatra: "paagal to ab tum hoge." aur ye kehte hue wo apne chehre se mask hatata hai aur kaal gyaata dekhta hai ki uske samne 2 dhruv khade hain. Kaal gyaata: ye kya? do-do dhruv? Dhruv: "do dhruv nahi, bolo DHRUV-NAKSHATRA." aur ye kehte hue wo bhi apna mask hatata hai aur kaal dekhta hai ki wo to asal me dhruv ka mask pehne hue nakshatra hai. Kaal gyaata: ye kya khel hai? Dhruv: khel bada simple hai, 2 din se nakshatra dhruv ban kar raj nagar ki rakhwali kar raha tha aur main nakshatra ban kar apne ghar me aaram kar raha tha. tumne mujhe nakshatra k mrityu kaal me aur use mere mrityu kaal me bhej diya. Nakshatra: achcha hua isne hame aur jyada intezar nahi karaya, dhruv ban kar 2 din tak rajnagar me ghumna bahut mushkil tha, pure shehar ki suraksha ki jimmedari uthana itna aasaan nahi hai. Dhruv: mushkil to mere liye bhi tha 2 din apne hi ghar me nakshatra ban kar khaali baithna.

Kaal gyata: mushkil to abhi bhi hai tumhare liye mujhe pakadna, main chala wapas apne achche samay me. lekin isse pehle wo kuch kar pata, dhruv ne ek kick maar k uske hath se uska yantra gira diya aur fir uske punch ne kaal gyaata ko din me taare dikha diye. itne me dhananjay aur nostredamas bhi wahan aa jate hain. Nostredamas: dhruv sabhi mafiya bosses ko humne dhananjay k aayam dwar se sidha jail pahucha diya hai. Dhruv: good. Nakshatra: bas ab mujhe ye bata do Dhananjay ki tumne mujhe trace kaise kiya. tum to us waqt wahan kahin the hi nahi. Dhananjay: sab Dhruv ka dimag hai. Dhruv ko trace karna to bahut aasan tha kyunki wo apne ghar me hi baitha tha, lekin Kaal Gyata ne tumhe jab Dhruv k dhokhe me Dhruv k mrityu kaal me bheja tab tum shehar k kisi bhi kone me ho sakte the, lekin Dhruv ki hazaron aakhon me se do jodi aankhen lagatar tum par hi nazar rakhe hue thi. jaise hi Kaal Gyata ne tumhe Dhruv k mrityu kaal me bheja, wo parinda ud kar seedha mere paas aya, aur uska peecha karte hue main thik us jagah par pahuch gaya jahan Kaal Gyata ne tumhe Dhruv k mrityu kaal me bheja tha, aur is tarah maine tumhe trace kar liya aur wapas apne kaal me le aya. Fir Nostredamas k bataye hue Kaal Gyata k bure kaal me tum dono ko pehle se bhejna aur tumhare peeche Kaal Gyata ko bhejna to bahut aasaan sa kaam tha. itne me kaal gyaata hosh me aakar bhagne lagta hai. Nostredamas: mere mars aur jupiter k beech me ghumne wali asteroid belt ki shakti se nikli chattanen ise bhagne nahi dengi. ek chattan seedha uske sar pe lagti hai aur wo behosh ho jata hai. Dhruv: behtar hoga dhananjay ki tum apne dono yantron ka ek sath prayog kar k hume seedhe hamare kaal me Rajnagar jail k andar pahuchao, warna kahin apne achche samay me aa ke ye fir na bhag jaye. Dhananjay: thik hai dhruv, tum log is dwar k paar jao, main yehin se apna yantra lekar swarna nagri wapas laut jata hun. vida dhruv.

Dhruv: vida dhananjay. fir sab seedha jail me nikalte hain aur kaal gyaata ko jail ki salakhon k peeche chod kar Dhruv, Nakshatra aur Nostredamas bahar aa jate hain. Dhruv: dekha nakshatra, maine kaha tha hum chahe to apni kismat badal sakte hain. thodi der baad dhruv haath me 2 envelopes lekar ata hai aur nostredamas aur nakshatra ko deta hai. Dhruv: ye jin mafiya bosses ko tumne pakda hai, ye sare k sare most wanted list me the. rajnagar se ab mafiya ka karib karib safaya ho gaya hai. in sab k sar par jo inaam rakha tha wo kul milakar 60 crore hai. mujhe laga tum dono hi iske sachche haqdar ho. Nakshatra: nahi dhruv, mujhe in paison ki koi jarurat nai hai. iski jyada jarurat rajnagar me rehne wale saikdon garib, anaath bachchon ko hai jinka is paise se bhavishya sudhar sakta hai. tum ye paise meri taraf se kisi achchi charity ko daan kar do. dhruv muskura kar envelope wapas le leta hai. Nostredamas: bhai mujhe to in paison ki sakht jarurat hai apni lab k liye. Dhruv: kal tum dono rajnagar stadium ana mat bhulna. Commissioner Rajan khud tum dono ka sammaan karenge pure sheher wasiyion k samne. Nostredamas: nahi dhruv, ye fool maalayen aur taaliyan tumhe hi mubarak ho. mujhe taaliyon ka shor pasand nahi hai, aur jyada izzat ki aadat bhi nahi hai. waise bhi mujhe phoolon se allergy hai. main to chala wapas. ab paise mil gaye hain to mujhe us kitab ko likhne ki jarurat nahi hai. ab main sitaron aur nakshatron se duniya k anth ki taarikh pata karunga. aur jaise hi kuch pata chala to sab se pehle tumhe bataunga kyunki tum hi dharti ki kundali me baitha wo taara ho jo apne dimag ki taakat se dharti ki kismat bhi badal sakta hai. alvida dhruv. Dhruv: vida nostredamas. ummeed karunga ki aisa din kabhi na aaye. aur fir agle din rajnagar stadium me pura shehar us naye ladke ko dekhne k liya umad pada jisne unke rakhwale, unke hero dhruv ki jaan bachane k liye khud ki

jaan khatre me dali thi aur Dhruv k sath mil kar Rajnagar se maafiya ka safaya kar diya tha. Commissioner Raajan ne khud nakshatra ka satkaar kiya aur taaliyon ki gadgadahat goonj uthi. dhruv ne nakshatra ko gale se lagaya aur kaha, "insaf ki duniya me tumhara swaagat hai." nakshatra k paas kehne ko kuch nai tha. sirf uski aankhon me aansu the.
