Mahakta Aachal: A digest or a healing drug?

  November 1999 Edition of Mahakta Aanchal, Photo by @ababeelclicks   When I was a child the first digest I was acquainted with was “Mahakta Aanchal”.  A digest that was famous among ladies so much. People were crazy for it and they still are. I can recall the memory when my aunt had many of these Digests, and I could say those were read by many other ladies.  Mahakta Aanchal is such a drug that people fear if they start to read they will be addicted to it. There is madness for it. A person could forget everything for it. If a person buys a copy of this digest it cannot be limited to that person, it will go into the hands of many people.

According to them, currently no music streaming apps/platforms has any algorithm of prominently displaying lyrics credits or making a song searchable by lyricist’s name.

ज़िंदगी तू कहाँ जा रही है......

     ज़िंदगी तू कहाँ जा रही है,  कभी पास कभी दूर जा रही है  सपने भी है मेरे अपने भी है मेरे  फिर भी तू मुझे क्यों इतना सता रही है                                    जिन्दगी तू कहाँ जा रही है.... एक बच्चे से उसका बचपन छीन लिया  फिर भी उसने समय को अपना लिया  लेकिन कभी तू अपना मोती तान सुना  अपनों से अपनों को मान दिला  मेरी उलझन बढती जा रही है  जिन्दगी तू कहाँ जा रही है                                      जीने के लिए तरंगे लिए                                      मन में हजारो उमंगे लिए                                     ढूँढती रही जिस में                                      अपने धर के लिए                                       तू उसे कभी लायी ही नहीं                                        फिर भी समाज में उसकी कमी                                        क्यों कही जा रही है                                        जिन्दगी तू जहाँ जा रही है  आँखों में रोज सागर उमड़ता है  फिर भी मुस्कुराना पड़ता है  आस किसी से कुछ नहीं  फिर भी सबको अपना बताना पड़ता है  क्यों इतनी ठोकर दिला रही है  जिन्दगी तू कहाँ
