A FAKEER WITH THE HEART OF A MESSIAH, EK FAKEER JISKA DILL DARIYA SE BHI SHAANT HAI AUR PHIR BHI GEHRA HAI ....

I don't know how to thank God for keeping me away from giving up hope in the goodness of man ( and woman ) every time I am tempted and almost forced to . These are very tough and tormenting times for people like me who have been living in the hope of seeing man improving and becoming a better creation of God , but yet whenever I reach the brink of despair , I meet one human being who gives me back my hope and faith in the goodness and the humanity of man - Ali Peter John

You never know when you can meet what kind of a man or a woman , till you actually meet them . I was at a solemn press conference associated with the forever or eternal Lata Mangeshkar when I was introduced to a handsome young man who I was told had a history of several journeys in his short but eventful life . I felt it was like one of my hundreds of meetings , but it wasn't .

I met the young man again at his pad or Studio as he called it and one look at his eyes told me that it was not going to be a usual kind of meeting and I was proved right when the meeting ended after four long hours and a sumptuous dinner , not before we had traveled together on a number of journeys , some mine and mostly his and my journeys were of the ordinary kind when compared to his and I am telling the truth and nothing but the truth because I love telling the truth about my life .

I have already given expression to my thoughts about the young man whose name is Rishabh Tandon , but I still feel that I have not even touched the surface of the journey on which he is moving ahead some times like a saint and sometimes like a superman of some other age .

Of all the aspects I have known about Rishabh till now what I admire most is his sheer humanity and his humility which doesn't allow me to show his humanity as a strong point but as his way of life shown to him by some higher and may be divine power .

His humility can be felt in the most inanimate and even inhuman things all around his well maintained and well - kept house in an apartment in a building called Sagar Tarang facing the sea in keeping with its name , a place from where one can see the various colours and moods of the sea which has been standing there for millions of years .

And there are paintings and photographs of legends and icons on the walls and the most striking one is that of Lata Mangeshkar which makes me believe that Lataji like the sea is also forever

And what I admire most about Rishabh is the way he treats the men who share his hopes , ambitions and dreams . I have seen them in action and I have seen their faces beaming when they look at their Fakeer Messiah .

I have been to the Studio only a couple of times , but I can place now my right hand on the left side of my heart and say that I know Jay , Vikram , Bholu , Karunesh , Ganesh and I know I will be forgiven I miss out on any name because those men have been trained by their Fakeer Messiah .

And human beings are not the only one who receive the affection of the Fakeer Messiah . There are pets which includes a canine who can look ferocious , but can be very loving once he accepts you as a part of the Fakeer Messiah team .

And there are two cats of two different breads and it is a a sight every human being must see when all the pets of the Fakeer Messiah have their dinner together before they go to sleep and the Fakeer Messiah goes to his room where his world of music waits for him with open arms and the sea churns up rhymes and surs and taals for him to play with and creats the kind of music that can change the world , his world and the whole world around him .
